(a) Basis for Award The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations utilizing a comparative analysis approach: Technical Capability (Technical Capability Statement) Price (b) Evaluation Methodology (Comparative Analysis) The Government will evaluate quotations with broad discretion in accordance with RFO 12.203(c)(1) and RFO 12.203(c)(2) by comparing one quotation to another to determine which Quoter provides the best value to the Government. No Ratings Will Be Assigned. Comparative Tradeoff: Because past performance and proven technical capability are critical to the success of this specialized marine engineering effort, the Government may select a Quoter with a superior Technical Capability Statement (demonstrating superior core competencies, key personnel qualifications, prior experience, or exceptionally strong past performance history) over a lower-priced Quoter, provided the price premium is determined to be fair and reasonable. (c) Evaluation Criteria 1. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY (Technical Capability Statement) The Government will comparatively evaluate the Quoter's Technical Capability Statement across the four elements outlined in the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1: Core Competencies: The depth and suitability of the firm's technical skills, their survey approach, and their ability to address ESB flight engine differences. This includes verifying that proposed Key Personnel resumes strictly comply with the engineering degrees, Coast Guard credentials (MMC), and maritime repair experience mandated in Section 12 of the PWS. Prior Experience: The relevance, scope, and complexity of the submitted project examples to the FHA Master List requirements. Past Performance: The quality of the Quoter's historical performance on similar efforts, specifically focusing on customer satisfaction, schedule adherence, and quality control as documented in CPARS or provided past performance documentation. Company Data / Compliance Statements: Completeness of administrative information and affirmative statements regarding the 120-day Period of Performance and RFQ terms and conditions. 2. PRICE The Government will evaluate proposed pricing for completeness, mathematical accuracy, and price reasonableness. Total Evaluated Price: The Total Evaluated Price used in the comparative tradeoff will be calculated as the sum of the Firm-Fixed-Price proposed for CLIN 0001 (Labor and Deliverables) and the Firm-Fixed-Price proposed for CLIN 0002 (Travel). Price Reasonableness: The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price, including, but not limited to, the methods in RFO 15.404-1 (such as comparing proposed prices received in response to the RFQ, comparing proposed prices to historical pricing for similar services, or comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate).
