This acquisition will utilize Best Value; Trade-Off Source Selection Procedures in accordance with the DoD Source Selection Procedures dated August 20, 2022. The trade-off will allow the government to make an integrated assessment of technical merit over price to ensure the successful awardee understands the technical requirements to manufacture the USMC Men's and Women's Green Coats. The following factors will be utilized in descending order of importance: Past Performance Confidence Assessment and Product Demonstration Model (PDM). All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated cost or price becomes more important.

The Government anticipates that the number of most highly-rated proposals that might otherwise be included in the competitive range will exceed the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted. The Contracting Officer may conduct the technical evaluation using a two-phase process, as contained in the Addendum to provision 52.212-2, Additional Source Selection Evaluation Procedures (applicable to Commercial Item Acquisitions only) or Section M (applicable to other than Commercial Item Acquisitions only). During the first phase of this evaluation process, all offerors' Past Performance Confidence Assessments and proposed prices will be evaluated. Those offerors who have past Performance history that are most highly rated and who have submitted price proposals that are realistic and competitive with other offerors' Past Performance will then be evaluated in the second phase of this evaluation process for the Product Demonstration Model (PDM) evaluation. All materials used in the fabrication of the end item are to be furnished by the contractor with the exception of the basic fabric which will be sold to the contractor by the Government.

The solicitation will be issued on an FOB Destination basis in accordance with FAR 47.304-1(g)(5). All offered products MUST meet the provisions of 252.225-7012 Preference for Certain Domestic Commodities.
