The Government intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract that will extend no longer than three years (36 months), if all options are exercised. It will consist of one base year plus two option years. Delivery orders will be placed as firm-fixed-price. The award will go to the responsible Offeror whose submission, which complies with the instructions and conforms to the solicitation, will be the most advantageous BEST VALUE to the Government. Best Value will be determined based on an integrated assessment of the Qualitative Evaluation Factors and Sub-Factors and tradeoff process procedures. The following factors shall be used to evaluate the offers: (Factor 1) Technical; (Factor 2) Past Performance; (Factor 3) Price; and (Factor 4) Small business subcontracting plan. The Technical Factor 1 includes three (3) Sub-Factors: (Sub-Factor 1) Production and Manufacturing; (Sub-Factor 2) Quality System and Controls; and (Sub-Factor 3) Management and Schedule. The factors are listed in descending order of importance. All non-cost factors, when combined, are more important than cost; however, cost becomes the deciding factor of importance when Offerors receive similar ratings for the other factors. Factors 1, 2, and 3 will be used for a tradeoff process. Factor 4 will be pass/fail only. The Government reserves the right to award a contract based on initial offers and without holding discussions, but reserves the right to hold discussions at the Government's discretion; therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint.
