Technical Approach

- The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical approach for its ability to meet the requirements outlined in the PWS. - The evaluation will consider the proposed methodologies, tools, and processes for completing the study, design, installation, and testing phases. - Emphasis will be placed on the offeror's understanding of CSfC, NSA compliance, DoD STIG standards, and their ability to deliver a fully compliant solution.

Schedule Feasibility

- The Government will evaluate the offeror's proposed schedule for its ability to meet the requirement to complete all phases of work within 60 calendar days of contract award. - The evaluation will consider the realism of the schedule, the logical sequencing of tasks, and the ability to perform concurrent work where applicable. - Price: - Price will be evaluated for reasonableness, realism, and balance: - Reasonableness: The proposed price will be compared to historical data, market research, and other offers to ensure it is fair. - Realism: The price will be analyzed to ensure it reflects a sound understanding of the work and is not unrealistically low. - Balance: The price will be reviewed to ensure it is appropriately distributed across all CLINs and does not indicate front-loading or disproportionate allocation.

Basis for Award

The Government intends to make an award to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government. Technical Approach is significantly more important than Schedule Feasibility, which is slightly more important than Price. However, as proposals become more equal in their technical merit and schedule feasibility, the evaluated price will become more important in determining the overall best value.
