Quote Conformity and Completeness: Offerors are responsible for submitting a complete and conforming quote that addresses all submission requirements outlined in this solicitation. i. Conformity with Instructions: Quotes that do not conform to the instructions, such as exceeding page limitations or failing to provide the requested information, may be considered unacceptable and may not be evaluated. ii. Relevance of Information: To ensure an efficient evaluation, offerors should only submit the specific documents and information requested. Extraneous materials, such as marketing brochures or documents not explicitly required, will not be evaluated. iii. Meeting Requirements: As detailed in Factor 1: Technical Approach, offerors are permitted to quote solutions that reduce or omit certain tasks from the Performance Work Statements (PWS) to align with the budgetary parameters. Quotes will be evaluated based on the solution quoted, and offerors are reminded to clearly identify any such reductions or omissions as required. g. Instructions to Offerors i. Evaluation Factors for Award: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical approach to assess their understanding of the requirements and the feasibility of their quoted solution for accomplishing the tasks outlined in the three Performance Work Statements (PWS): PWS_Goathead, PWS_Ice Wolves, and PWS_TV and Theater. The technical approach submission shall not exceed 15 pages and must include the following: 1. Factor 1: Technical Approach: a. Comprehensive Solution: A detailed narrative describing the offeror's method and plan for executing the requirements within all three PWS documents. b. Identification of Reduced Tasks (If Applicable): The Government recognizes that the estimated budget may not be sufficient to perform all tasks listed in the PWS documents. Offerors are permitted to quote a solution that reduces or omits certain tasks to stay within the budget parameters. If tasks are reduced or omitted, the offeror must clearly identify each specific task from the PWS that will not be included or will be reduced in their quote. Failure to clearly identify omitted tasks or reduced tasks may be viewed as a significant weakness during the comparative evaluation, as it hinders the Government's ability to determine the full scope of the quoted solution. c. Value and Rationale: For any proposed reduction in tasks, the offeror should briefly explain their rationale for the specific tasks they chose to omit, demonstrating a strategic approach that maximizes the marketing and recruiting impact for the New Mexico Air National Guard (NMANG) within the budgetary constraints. 2. Factor 2: Experience: This factor evaluates the depth and relevance of the offeror's actual history in performing work similar in scope, complexity, and magnitude to this solicitation, as distinct from Past Performance, which assesses the quality of that work. Offerors must demonstrate a history of execution on similar projects, as the Government will comparatively evaluate the depth and breadth of each offeror's experience to determine which offers represent the best value. a. Relevant Contracts: Offerors must provide Relevant Contracts, which includes a list of up to three (3) recent and relevant contracts for similar services performed within the last three (3) years. Relevant contracts are defined as those involving sports marketing, media buys, digital advertising, and/or community engagement campaigns. b. For each contract listed, offerors must provide Contract Details, including the contract number, contract value, a point of contact with a current phone number and email address, and a brief description of the work performed. In addition to the information provided by the offeror, the Government reserves the right to use other sources of information to evaluate experience, including, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and other databases and sources. The Government may also contact the references provided by the offeror. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant experience, the Government may evaluate the offeror's lack of experience as a comparative disadvantage. 3. Factor 3: Price The Government will evaluate the offeror's quoted price to determine whether it is fair, reasonable, and complete. a. Fair and Reasonable: The Government will determine price fairness and reasonableness through a comparative analysis of all received quotes. The Government may also use other price analysis techniques authorized under RFO FAR Part 12, including but not limited to, comparing quoted prices to historical prices paid, competitive published price lists, or the Independent Government Estimate (IGE). b. Total Evaluated Price (TEP): For comparative evaluation purposes, the Total Evaluated Price will be calculated by adding prices for all Contract Line Item Numbers along with pricing for option year periods. Evaluation of option periods does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). c. Comparative Assessment: Price will not be numerically scored or adjectivally rated. Instead, the Government will comparatively evaluate the TEP against the non-price factors (such as Experience and Technical Approach) of other offerors. The Government may award to a higher-priced offeror if the comparative evaluation determines that the superior non-price attributes of that offer justify the price premium. The Government may also determine that a quote with an unreasonably high or unrealistically low price poses an unacceptable risk and is therefore not the best value to the Government. h. BASIS OF AWARD. IAW RFO FAR 12.203(c)(2) The contracting officer has broad discretion in establishing how quotations will be evaluated. The Government will award a single, firm-fixed-price purchase order to the responsible vendor whose quotation represents the best value to the Government. The Contracting Officer will conduct a comparative evaluation of all timely quotations. i. Please note that the evaluation procedures of RFO FAR Part 14 (Sealed Bidding) and RFO FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiation) do not apply to this acquisition. The Government is not required to, and will not establish or utilize formal evaluation plans, assign numerical, adjectival, or color-coded scores to quotations, or establish a competitive range. ii. The Government will directly compare quotations to one another to determine which quote provides the most advantageous technical solution and experience record at a fair and reasonable price. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to communicate with any, all, or none of the vendors at any point during the evaluation. These communications are not governed by the restrictive “discussions” rules of RFO FAR Part 15. The Government may solicit revised quotations or resolve minor details with one or more vendors without the obligation to open discussions or request final quotation revisions from all vendors. Vendors are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical and pricing terms in their initial quotation. i. CONTRACT TYPE. Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract 2. GENERAL REQUIREMENT: a.
