The document serves as an addendum to the solicitation FA860125R0011, outlining the evaluation factors for awarding contracts using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The primary criteria for evaluating proposals are Technical Capability and Price, both holding equal importance, with an emphasis that any proposal rated “Unacceptable” technically cannot be awarded regardless of price.
The Technical Capability evaluation includes assessments of compliance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS), the offerors’ recovery and recycling plans, possession of relevant licenses, and prior experience in similar contracts. Each element must meet minimum requirements for the proposal to be deemed "Acceptable."
The Price evaluation examines completeness, unbalanced pricing, and overall fairness, requiring a Total Evaluated Price (TEP) calculation, which includes proposed costs for base performance and option years.
The evaluation process entails concurrent assessments of all proposals with a focus on rectifying any deficiencies. Should a proposal be rated "Unacceptable," it may be excluded from further consideration. The government also retains discretion to establish a competitive range based on proposal quality. Binding contracts are formed upon written acceptance of offers within the specified timeframe, underscoring the importance of timely and compliant submissions in the RFP process.

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for the recovery and recycling of tritium from compasses, gun sights, and wrist watches for the Department of Defense (DoD) over a five-year period. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary labor and equipment to recover tritium from these items, which are either no longer used or have exceeded their useful shelf life. The scope includes estimated quantities of 500 compasses, 50 gun sights, and 5 wrist watches annually, totaling roughly 32.5 curies of decayed tritium each year.
The contractor must comply with various regulatory requirements, including holding a valid license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and maintaining adherence to environmental laws. The DoD will facilitate the inventory and transportation of items to the contractor's facility, relieving the Air Force of future responsibilities for these radioactive sources upon transfer.
To ensure proper documentation and compliance, the contractor is required to provide inventory receipts and maintain thorough recordkeeping. The PWS sets forth necessary operational and quality assurance guidelines, with normal duty hours established for service functions. This initiative illustrates the DoD's commitment to environmentally responsible management of hazardous materials under its jurisdiction.
