Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document outlines the evaluation basis for award for the solicitation. It details the factors and subfactors that will be used to assess proposals and determine which offerors will receive an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

• Award Basis: Multiple IDIQ contracts will be awarded to responsible offerors whose proposals are technically acceptable, have an acceptable past performance rating, and conform to all other material requirements. Cost/price is not an evaluation factor for the base IDIQ contracts.
• Evaluation Factors: Proposals will be evaluated against two primary factors:
  • Factor 1: Volume II - Technical: Must receive an "Acceptable" rating. This includes subfactors for:
    • Technical Scenario Response (Task Order Management Plans for Services, Construction, Commodities)
    • Program Management (10 required management plans: Staffing, Quick Response, Procurement, Quality Control, Subcontract Management, Safety, Security, Property Control, Mission-Essential Services Contingency, Combatting Trafficking in Persons)
    • Key Personnel (Program Manager and Alternate Program Manager qualifications)
    • Small Business Participation
  • Factor 2: Volume III – Past Performance: Must receive an "Acceptable" rating. This assesses the offeror's demonstrated record of contract compliance, considering recency, relevancy, and quality of past efforts. The performance of critical subcontractors will be considered, but not key personnel.
• Initial Task Order: A Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Task Order for the Contractor School ($4,000.00) will be issued to each successful offeror as a condition of the IDIQ award.

This document is critical for understanding how proposals will be evaluated. Bidders must ensure their proposals comprehensively address all technical subfactors and demonstrate strong past performance to be considered for award. The specific requirements for each management plan and the qualifications for key personnel are detailed, guiding proposal preparation.
