Added: Sep 29, 2014 1:39 pm This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect tough Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005-76. NAICS Code is 811490. The Small Business size standard for this NAICS code is $7 million dollars. Request for Proposal (RFP) W25G1V-14-R-0019 applies. This procurement is being conducted under the requirements of FAR Subpart 6.1 Full and Open Competition, FAR 15, Contracting by Negotiation and FAR 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. It is the intention of the Government to award a Firm Fixed Price single or multiple Blanket Purchase Agreement(s) (BPA) for the base period of tee years. Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD), Tobyhanna, PA, has a requirement for a service contract to obtain textile repair services at regional Source of Repair (SOR) facilities located at Ft. Hood, Texas and Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD), PA. Contractor will provide textile/fabric and material repairs or replacements, detailed technical inspections, and cleaning of the textile products IAW Technical and TYAD Manuals. This requirement will be for a base period of tee years. Requirements will be in accordance with Performance Work Statement (PWS) (Attachment 2) for service requirement. Award evaluation and basis for award will be performed in accordance with FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items. Offerors are cautioned award may not necessarily be made to the lowest priced offer. 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999) 1. Award will be based on best value. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) 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: (i) TECHNICAL: Offeror's technical proposal should clearly reflect how the offeror proposes to comply with the performance required and identified in the Performance Work Statement. Offeror's technical approach, including any supporting documentation, is to be clear and concise and should clearly reference the Scope, Requirements and Functional Task Requirements identified in the Performance Work Statement. Proposal shall include the terms of their best commercial warranty. This evaluation will result in a determination of technical acceptability or unacceptability. Exceeding the technical requirements will not result in a more favorable evaluation since the overall technical evaluation will be Acceptable/Unacceptable. (ii) PRICE: Offerors are advised to provide the most competitive pricing they can with the initial proposal submission. (iii) DELIVERY TIMEFRAME. Offerors are advised to clearly state acceptance to the twenty (20) day turn-around time for each system submitted in lots between five (5) to ten (10) systems. (iv) PAST PERFORMANCE. Offerors shall submit a list of all relevant Government and commercial contracts (prime and major subcontracts) during the past 3 years, which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation IAW Proposal Submission Instructions. (a) In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. (b) Nothing in this solicitation prohibits the Government from obtaining and considering past performance from any source available. (c) Negative information obtained during past performance evaluations will be provided to the offeror to be addressed unless such negative information or circumstances have already been addressed by the offeror. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than quote mark Acceptable quote mark must be achieved for Technical, Delivery Timeframe and Past Performance. Technical is significantly more important than Price, Delivery Time and Past Performance. Price is slightly more important than the Delivery Timeframe and Past Performance. Past Performance is of lesser importance than Price and Delivery Timeframe. The evaluation will determine the best overall value to the Government considering all factors. In the case of equal ratings, Price will be the deciding factor. Offerors are advised to provide the most competitive pricing they can with the initial proposal submission as it is anticipated that award may be made without discussions with offerors. Offerors are advised that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest priced offer. Performance Risk Assessment Questionnaire (PRAQ) (Attachment 3). For all contracts identified in Section iv, Performance Risk Assessment Questionnaires must be completed and submitted. The offeror shall complete Part I of the PRAQ and e-mail the questionnaire to both the Government contracting activity and technical representative responsible for each past/current contract or the commercial POC. The contractor shall instruct the Government/Commercial POCs to electronically complete Part II of the PRAQ, and to then e-mail the entire questionnaire by the time and date identified as the solicitation closing date, to the Contracting Specialist at cheryl.a.saylock.civ@mail.mil. The offeror shall provide the Contracting Officer a list of all the POCs (Company name/POC) who were sent a questionnaire in their proposal response and date e-mailed to POC (month/day). 2. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than quote mark Acceptable quote mark must be achieved for the Technical, Delivery Timeframe and Past Performance Factors. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS: 1. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY - The offeror's proposal shall demonstrate that they have the capability to provide the required textile (tent) repair service. Offeror will incorporate the knowledge and skill sets required pursuant to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) (Attachment 2) as well as past experience obtained from working on the same or similar projects. The offeror shall show in their technical proposal that they have a complete understanding of the requirement and a well conceived plan for satisfying the requirement. The technical proposal shall contain: Knowledge and Capability of all the quote mark Documents Reference quote mark in PWS; An Inspection Process/Program; Quality Assurance Program; and Employee Qualification/Certification requirements and resources available to meet all the requirements described in the PWS. Proposal shall include the terms of their best commercial warranty. Technical proposals must receive a rating of acceptable to be considered for award: Acceptable = Proposal demonstrates a sufficient understanding of the requirements and the approach meets performance or capability standards. The proposal demonstrates no strengths or weaknesses or has one or more strengths that will benefit the government although not significantly. The proposal has no material weaknesses but may have minor weaknesses that can be overcome. Weaknesses may potentially cause disruption of schedules, increase in cost, or degradation of performance if not addressed. Special contractor emphasis and close government monitoring will probably minimize any difficulties of performance. The proposal generally meets requirements; therefore, has an acceptable probability of meeting the requirements. 2. PRICING - Offerors are advised to provide the most competitive pricing they can with the initial proposal submission. 3. DELIVERY TIMEFRAME - Offerors are advised to clearly state acceptance to the twenty (20) day turn-around time for each system submitted in lots between five (5) to ten (10) systems. 4. PAST PERFORMANCE - Offerors shall submit a list of all relevant Government and commercial contracts (prime and major subcontracts) during the past 3 years, which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation IAW Proposal Submission Instructions. (a) In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. (b) Nothing in this solicitation prohibits the Government from obtaining and considering past performance from any source available. (c) Negative information obtained during past performance evaluations will be provided to the offeror to be addressed unless such negative information or circumstances have already been addressed by the offeror. Each example shall have the following information: Government Agency or Company Name and address Customer point of contact (POC) and position within the company/agency Customer POC telephone Number/email Address Contract or Sales Number Date of Contract or Sale Dollar Value of Contract or Sale Place/Period of Performance Services provided Relevance is defined as fulfilling the same or similar requirement for the same or similar quantities under the same or similar circumstances. An example which is considered to be ideally on-point is one which satisfied the same technical requirement for the same quantity, provided to a Government customer, and within the same delivery timeframe as required under this solicitation. It is not required to submit examples which are ideally on-point; however, offerors should strive to provide those examples which are as relevant as possible. Quality is evaluated as overall customer satisfaction, including but not limited to: performance of the equipment and services provided; timeliness of delivery; willingness to negotiate and accommodate changes; cost control; processing of warranty claims; performance of maintenance agreements; availability of general customer support. Should the offeror provide more than tee (3) examples of past performance, the Government is not obligated to contact more than the first tee. Offerors should confirm that the POC telephone numbers are accurate and in service; failure to provide valid telephone numbers does not obligate the Government to further pursue those examples of past performance. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Past performance will be evaluated as a risk factor on the following scale: Low Performance risk = Verification of past performance shows that offeror consistently meets work schedules, provides specified services, meets contract terms without failure or resolves issues immediately, and has not been defaulted on any contract in the past tee years. There is little doubt, based on the offeror's performance record, that the offeror can perform the proposed effort. Moderate Performance risk = Verification of past performance shows offeror meets work schedules and specified services most of the time, meets contract terms without failure or resolves issues immediately, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past tee years. Some doubt does exist however, based on the offeror's performance record, that the offeror can perform the proposed effort. High Performance risk = Verification of past performance shows that offerors have consistently not met work schedules and other obligations, have defaulted on at least one contract within the past tee years, or have conically failed to meet contract terms, or the past performance information provided is not relevant to this requirement. Significant doubt exists that the offer can perform the proposed effort. Unknown Performance Risk = Little or no record of relevant past performance or, contact information (telephone, fax, e-mail) is not valid and the points of contact or agencies could not be reached. Unknown risk rating has no positive or negative evaluation significance. Nothing in this solicitation prohibits the Government from obtaining and considering past performance from any source available. Negative information obtained during past performance evaluations will be provided to the offeror to be addressed unless such negative information or circumstances have already been addressed by the offeror. 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 or withdrawal is received before award.
