Subject:
Request for Proposal (RFP) No. RS-NMS-81-030. Entitled,
" Analysis of Safeguards Needs for Transport of High Level Waste; BDM Proposal No. BDM/W-BJE-0330-81
Dear Mr. Eastlund:
This letter is to advise you that your company is an unsuccessful offeror under the subject RFP.
While award has not yet been made, it has been determined that The BDM Corporation has been eliminated from any further consideration for contract award based upon a comprehensive review and analysis of all proposals received.
Following is a discussion of some of your proposal's deficiencies as found by the Source Evaluation Panel (SEP). Such discussion is general in nature and should not be construed to be all inclusive with respect to your proposal weaknesses.
The proposal did not appear to have a strong demonstration of more up-to-date knowledge of spent fuel shipment protection regulations.
It did not appear that optimum personnel were designed in Task 2.
From a total estimated cost standpoint the SEP did not feel your proposal would stand a reasonable chance for award. Your attention is drawn to Part II, item 16(a), paragraph 2 which states that "although technical merit in related past experience criteria no. I will be factors in the evaluation of proposals, cost will be the more significant factor in the selection of a contractor. To be selected for an award, the proposed cost must be relistic and reasonable. It was believed that the costs which w6re proposed were excessively high and that a reduction in the costs considered high may detrimentally effect the technical approach of the proposal.
Additionally, your proposal did not include any costs 'for computer usage. Computer facilities will not be provided as Government Furnished Property under any resultant contract. Any costs computed for this item would further increase your proposal costs; l
As further negotiations with yo"r firm concerning this procurement are not contemplated, a revision tc, your proposal will not be considered.
