Tips for preparing a competitive response
The government will award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to the responsible quoter who provides the lowest acceptable quote that demonstrates understanding of the requirements and conformance with the solicitation. The evaluation will focus on technical merit, past performance, and price.
For the technical evaluation, merely stating 'will comply with all PWS requirements' is not sufficient. You need to clearly demonstrate how your proposed service meets the government's requirements. For past performance, the government will consider primary government sources and, if absent, commercial market experience or subcontractor experience relevant to the work. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness, potentially by comparing quotes, against an Independent Government Cost Estimate, or other techniques. The government may evaluate quotes by first ranking them by price, then evaluating the lowest-priced quote's technical and past performance factors. If acceptable, they may proceed to award without evaluating other quotes.
