SELECTION AND BPA ESTABLISHMENT Sample Clauses

SELECTION AND BPA ESTABLISHMENT. D.5.1 Quotes must demonstrate a clear understanding of the nature and scope of the work required. Failure to provide a realistic, reasonable, and complete quote may reflect a lack of understanding of the requirements and may result in a determination that you are technically unacceptable. BPAs will be established with the responsible Contractors whose quotes conform to the requirements outlined in this RFQ and are most advantageous to the Government based on the best value determination. For the Large Project Lot, the items listed under D.3.2, Technical Capability ARE NOT subfactors and are not separately weighted for evaluation purposes. All items will be considered together for purposes of assigning a rating to this factor. In terms of relative weights, Technical Capability is more important than Past Performance, Price and Socioeconomic Status individually but of less importance than those three factors combined. Past Performance, Price and Socioeconomic Status are listed in descending order of importance. For the Small Project Lot, the items listed under D.3.2, Technical Capability ARE separately weighted for evaluation purposes. They will be evaluated in two groupings and treated as subfactors for evaluation purposes. D.3.2.1 and D.3.2.5 will be evaluated as one subfactor and D.3.2.2, D.3.2.3 and D.3.2.4 will be evaluated as another subfactor. Both subfactor groups will be of equal weight contributing to the overall Technical Capability Factor rating. Individual elements within the subfactor grouping will be considered together for purposes of assigning a subfactor rating. In terms of relative weights among the Factors, Technical Capability is more important than Socioeconomic Status, Past Performance and Price individually but of less importance than those three factors combined. Socioeconomic Status, Past Performance and Price are listed in descending order of importance. Potential risk to the Government will also be evaluated. Technical and performance risk, based upon the offeror’s evaluated technical capability and past performance understanding, will be considered during the evaluation as well as any possible pricing risk. Subjective judgment on the part of the Government evaluators is implicit in the entire process. Throughout the evaluation the Government will consider “correction potential” when a deficiency is identified. D.5.2 The Government intends to establish BPAs without exchanges with contractors. Consequently, Contractors are highly e...

SELECTION AND BPA ESTABLISHMENT. M.1.1 The Government intends to establish a single award BPA without exchanges with offerors. Consequently, offerors are highly encouraged to offer their best technical and pricing quotes in their initial submissions. However, the government reserves the right to discuss submissions with any or all offerors submitting a technical and price quote, if it is determined advantageous to the government to do so. This statement is not to be construed to mean that the government is obligated to conduct exchanges. Note that FAR Part 15 procedures do not apply to evaluation of Schedule BPA quotations and will not be used. An offeror may be eliminated from consideration for a BPA without further exchanges if its pricing and/or technical quotes are not among those offerors considered most advantageous to the government based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable determination.
