Each fuselage shall quoted will be independently evaluated and contract(s) will be awarded for those fuselages, which based upon the following evaluation criteria represent the best value to the Government. Fuselage Shell Evaluation: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Age. 2. Flight hours. 3. Net Cost consisting of condition, configuration, and price Net cost is more important than either the age and flight hours of the fuselage shell, which are of equal importance. =20 TECHNICAL EVALUATION Technical criteria may receive a rating higher than Good. Available ratings are identified below: RATING DESCRIPTION Unacceptable As evaluated, the Offer does not demonstrate compliance=20 with the minimum specification. Good As evaluated, the offer demonstrates compliance with the minimum specification set forth within the solicitation or falls within what has been determined to be the minimum range of acceptability. Superior As evaluated, the offer demonstrates compliance within the=20 mid-range of performance determined for the technical criteria. Exceptional As evaluated, the offer demonstrates compliance within the optimum range of performance determined for the technical criteria. Specification Ranges: 1. Age may range from 0 years old to 25 years. (Note: Convert months to decimal equivalents.) =20 RATING DESCRIPTION Unacceptable greater than 25 years Good greater than 15 to 25 years Superior greater than 5 to 15 years Exceptional 0 to 5 years 2. Flight hours may range from 0 hours to greater than 8000 hours.=20 RATING DESCRIPTION Unacceptable greater than 8000 hours Good greater than 1000 to 8000 hours Superior greater than 500 to 1000 hours Exceptional 0 to 500 hours 3. Net Cost which is more important than technical, will be evaluated for price reasonableness and relative value compared to other factors and shall consist of three independent factors: condition, configuration, and price.=20 A. Condition addresses the overall condition of the shell in the following areas: corrosion, structural soundness, and sheet metal condition. This area will provide the Government an approximate cost of repair in bringing the shell into flyable condition. The Government reserves the right to disqualify any shell from consideration based on the Governments estimate to repair costs. =20 Examples for condition factors: Replacement of the station 124 tailrotor bellcrank bracket =3D $2,524 Tailboom repair =3D $990 Repair tunnel control rod access panel =3D $792 Repair pitot static line =3D $396 B. Configuration will establish a rating on the plus and minus cost features of the shell. (NOTE: No ratings will be given for any dynamic component installed on the shell.) The following examples illustrate the Governments approach: a. The 500D (or 500E) is configured with a Rolls Royce Allison 250-C20B engine. The 530FF is configured with a RRA 250-C30(H) engine. If the shell has C20B engine mounts, a cost rating will be applied, whereas, a zero cost rating will be applied for a shell which has C30 engine mounts. The cost rating will equate to the costs associated with procuring and installing the necessary parts. b. The 500D is configured with a round nose. The 500E and 530FF are configured with a pointed nose. The round nose will receive a zero cost rating whereas the pointed nose will receive a cost rating. c. Cost Examples (parts and labor): C30 engine kit =3D $13,142 Round nose =3D $29, 078 Raised shoulder beam =3D $16,830 C. Price is the offerors unit cost for each of the fuselage shell(s). A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items (to be completed and submitted with offer); 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes Or Executive Orders -- Commercial Items; 252.212-7000, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items; and 252.212-7001, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes Or Executive Orders Applicable to Defense Acquisitions of Commercial Items.
