Evaluation - General Conduct of Acquisition This RFQ is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). This acquisition will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 36.6 and GSAM Subpart 536.6. Firms interested in responding to this RFQ announcement are invited to submit a completed SF-330 (Parts I and II), inclusive of written narrative (Block 30 of the SF-330). Offerors shall organize the information to highlight responses to the Selection Criteria listed below. All information will be evaluated in an identical manner and in accordance with the specified Selection Criteria. If firms propose under a joint venture agreement, the joint venture must meet the definition of a small business joint venture and each firm must independently demonstrate the ability to implement the requirements of the tasks described herein. GSA has established an Evaluation Board to evaluate the qualifications submitted by Offerors in response to this RFQ. Evaluation is an assessment of the Offeror's provided information and the Offeror's ability to perform the prospective contract successfully. Offeror's will be evaluated by assessing the relative strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and risks of each Offeror's information against the Selection Criteria to determine the Offeror's ability to perform the contract. Following GSA's review and evaluation of the SF-330's, a "short list" of the most highly rated firms will be developed. Short-listed firms will be referred to as "selected firms". Selected firms will be invited to participate in oral presentations. The specific details of the oral presentations will be provided to only the selected firms. Selected firms should be aware that their overall final rating depends on both written submissions and their oral presentations. Following oral presentations, the selected firms will then be ranked in order of preference and the Selection Authority will make the final selection from among those firms. Firms that are part of the final selection will receive an RFP from the GSA. If prices (i.e., rates) cannot be successfully negotiated with a particular firm, negotiations will cease, and the next highest rated firm will receive an RFP. Since this procurement is for a multiple-award IDIQ contract, the goal will be to make awards to up to eight (8) firms. Offeror's Response An Offeror's response that does not comply with instructions or is otherwise grossly and obviously deficient will be considered non-responsive. An offer will be deemed unacceptable if it does not represent a reasonable initial effort to address itself to the essential requirements of the RFQ, or if it clearly demonstrates that the Offeror does not understand the requirements stated herein. Cursory responses or responses which merely repeat or reformulate the typical Task Order work detailed above will not be considered responsive to the requirements of the RFQ. If an Offeror's response is rejected, a notice will be sent to the Offeror stating the reason(s) that they will not be considered for further evaluation. Responsibility In accordance with FAR Subpart 9.1, Responsible Prospective Contractors, the Contracting Officer is required to make an affirmative determination of whether a prospective contractor is responsible. The Contracting Officer may, if necessary, conduct a pre-award survey of the prospective contractor as part of the considerations in determining responsibility. In the absence of information clearly indicating that the otherwise selected Offeror is responsible, the Contracting Officer shall make a determination of non-responsibility and refer the matter to the U.S. Small Business Administration which will then determine whether a Certificate of Competency in accordance with FAR Subpart 19.6, Certificates of Competency and Determinations of Responsibility, can be issued. Offeror's Submission Firms meeting the requirements of this RFQ and who wish to be considered for award shall electronically submit their SF-330 by 2:00 pm local time on 10/13/2023 to Sebastian Asaro, Supervisory Contracting Officer, at sebastian.asaro@gsa.gov, and Sotheavy Khon, Senior Contract Specialist, at sotheavy.khon@gsa.gov.
