The Government will use comparative analysis. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: Factor I. Technical capability or quality offered to meet the Government requirement: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation. Factor II. Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line-item prices. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make price reasonableness determination. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability or quality of the service offered to the Government requirement, as stated in Factor 1, shall not be selected regardless of price. Factor III Past Performance: The Offeror shall be evaluated on relevant/recent performance of past contracts and how well the offerors identified performance relates to the work being procured under the Performance Work Statement for this procurement.

The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts.

The Evaluation Team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to a performance confidence evaluation. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.
