A single-award BPA will be based on non-price and price factors through a best value selection process. In the best value evaluation, non-price factors, when combined, are more important than the price quote. The price evaluation includes the base requirement for basic services and all options for basic services. Price becomes more important in the tradeoff analysis as the difference between the non-price and price factors is less significant. The evaluation factors listed below are in descending order of importance unless two non-price factors are described as approximately equal in importance to one another. Quality Management Staffing Plan Relevant Experience Past Performance Energy Optimization Approach Fire and Life-Safety Approach Socioeconomic Status Relevant Experience and Past Performance are approximately equal to each other in importance. Energy Optimization Approach and Fire and Life-Safety Approach are approximately equal to each other in importance. Socioeconomic Status is significantly less important than any of the other non-price factors. The Government will conduct this procurement in a phased submission approach.
