Evaluation Factors  

This evaluation will utilize comparative analysis to provide the best value to the Government. Award may be made to other than the lowest priced offer, if the Government determines that a price premium is warranted due to technical merit.

However, the closer the merits of the technical offer are to one another, the greater will be the importance of price in making the award determination. In the event that two or more technical offers are determined technically equivalent, award may be made to the lower priced offer provided the price is reasonable. Responses to this solicitation will be evaluated against the following factors:

Factor 1: Technical

Factor 2: Past Performance

Factor 3: Price

FACTOR 1: Technical.

The Offeror shall provide technical information based off of the requirements of the Purchase Description (PD). The information shall provide, at a minimum, the following information:

1. Provide a detailed breakdown of the specifications of the proposed equipment. Offerors shall demonstrate that they meet or exceed each of the items that are listed in section 4.1 – 4.4 REQUIREMENTS of the 5 Axis CNC Mill Purchase Description (PD).
2. Demonstrate a structured approach to preventive maintenance and repair of the 5 Axis CNC Gantry Mill. Include distance from service technicians to Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD) as well as response time, warranty information, maintenance plan information (if applicable), and parts country of origin and availability.
3. Provide a testing plan in accordance with 6.2 Tests and a training plan in accordance with 6.3 Technical Instruction of the PD.

The contractor shall review the salient characteristics provided in the Purchase Description (PD). Offers shall demonstrate that they meet or exceed each of the items that are listed in Requirements section of the 5 Axis CNC Gantry Mill PD.

Mere re-statements of the requirements or statements from the Offeror that the offer is compliant that do not include a description of product technical capability is unacceptable.

Additional consideration will be provided to those offers that exceed the requirements as provided in the PD and provide additional safety features. Preference will be supplied to those offers that provide the following: HSK 100  spindle and tooling, Renishaw RMP60/RTS Part Probe and Tool Setter, FANUC control, two or more Chip-Conveyor with Coolant Management, larger than a 19 inch color flat screen LCD display, machine has replaceable two head design (one 5 axis variable 8,000 rpm head and one 3 axis, high horsepower, high torque head), machining Envelop larger than 169 Inches Length X 123 Inches Width X 50 Inches and larger tools, and a footprint smaller than 73 Feet Long X 27 Feet Wide.

If the offer is determined unacceptable in any of the technical evaluation factors or subfactors, the offer may not be considered for award.

In addition to the information submitted by offeror, the Contracting Officer may consider other information reasonably related to the evaluation factors, to include the personal knowledge of the competitor's commercial and Government customers and past performance databases. The Government may consider any other value added benefit offered in its best value determination.

The Contracting Officer is not obligated to evaluate all information submitted from each offeror. For example, the Contracting Officer may curtail evaluation of an offeror's submission if at any point the Contracting Officer determines the competitor is unlikely to provide best value.

The Contracting Officer may communicate with an offeror at any time during the evaluation without regard to the FAR 15.3 rules concerning competitive range determinations and discussions. The Contracting Officer may also identify the offeror most likely to provide best value and hold negotiations solely with that offeror to finalize the order and/or negotiate more favorable terms for the Government.

Factor 2: Past Performance

A. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PD.

B. Offerors shall submit all relevant information on Government and/or commercial contracts for the prime offeror and each major subcontractor, those subcontractors expected to perform twenty (20) percent or more of the effort, in performance or awarded during the past three years, from the issue date of this Request For Quote (RFQ), which are relevant to the efforts required by this RFQ. The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources, but is not compelled to rely on all of the information available.

C. Offerors shall include the most recent and relevant efforts (within the past three years) in their offer. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned an “unknown confidence rating” and its offer will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its offer and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services as compared to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 333517. Data used in conducting performance risk assessments shall not extend past three years prior to the issue date of the RFQ but may include performance data generated during the past three years without regard to the contract award date.

Factor 3: Price.

Offerors must propose on all items. The total evaluated price will be computed by adding the total estimated amount for each item.
