Evaluation Factors
Award will be made to the responsible Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) offeror whose quotation represents the best value to the Government, in accordance with FAR Part 12. A comparative evaluation will be used, and award may be made without discussions.
- Technical Acceptability: Significantly more important than Price. Evaluates how well trailers meet/exceed requirements, quality, durability, suitability for Florida, security, weather resistance, ease of relocation, and warranty. Failure to meet minimum requirements will render a quotation technically unacceptable.
- Delivery / Availability: Significantly more important than Price. Evaluates ability to deliver all five (5) trailers within 30 calendar days After Receipt of Order (ARO). Earlier delivery, higher certainty, and reduced logistical risk are favored. Trailers must be delivered leveled, stable, and ready for immediate use.
- Price: Evaluated for fairness and reasonableness. Becomes increasingly important as non-price factors become more similar.
