RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAR 52.212-1 - INSTRUCTIONS / ADDENDUM AND EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMSYour attention is directed to the functional relationship between FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offeror - Commercial Items and its Addendum above and Evaluation - Commercial Items below of this RFP. FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offeror - Commercial Items and its Addendum provides information for the purpose of organizing the proposal and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Evaluation - Commercial Items describes evaluation factors for award, to include the evaluation procedures for responsiveness to the RFP, ranking of the Price proposal, and the assessment of Past Performance information. PROPOSALS THAT DO NOT CONTAIN THE INFORMATION REQUESTED BY FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFEROR - COMMERCIAL ITEMS AND ITS ADDENDUM MAY BE REJECTED. Since there is a functional relationship between FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offeror - Commercial Items and its Addendum and Evaluation - Commercial Items the proposals must address all areas identified for both sections.EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMSa. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:1. This is a competitive best value acquisition utilizing the tradeoff process in accordance with FAR 15.3, Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by DoD Source Selection Procedures, AFFARS 5315.3, MP5315.3, and the evaluation process and criteria set forth in this Request for Proposal (RFP). This procurement will be conducted as a 100% total small business set-aside. The Government will award a contract resulting from the RFP to the acceptable, responsible Offeror whose proposal, conforming to this RFP, offers the best-value to the Government. The evaluation factors are: Factor 1: Price and Factor 2: Past Performance. Past Performance is approximately equal to Price. Evaluation criteria are the same for all competing offerors.2. Offerors shall assure that proposals are submitted in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items and its Addendum of this RFP. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all RFP requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, exhibits, attachments, drawings, and specifications.3. Offerors shall propose prices for all CLINs. Any offer that fails to cite a price for each item, or fails to make an entry, may be rejected as nonconforming to this RFP.4. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the RFP terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Failure to meet a requirement risks rejection.5. Only Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) offers will be evaluated for FFP Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). An offer using a sliding price scale, or subject to escalation based on any contingency for FFP designated CLINs, will not be accepted. Only one contract will be awarded for this requirement.b. EVALUATION PROCESS:1. Price Evaluation: Initially, offers will be ranked according to their Total Evaluated Prices (TEPs).The Offeror's proposed CLIN prices will be determined by multiplying the "Unit Price" by the Government provided "Quantity" identified to determine the "Amount" for each CLIN. As part of the Price evaluation, all CLIN "Amounts" will be added together (summed) to establish an Offeror's overall TEP for the acquisition. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness based on prices submitted from competitive proposals, current market conditions, and comparison to the Government estimate.The Offeror's Price proposal will be evaluated, using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404, in order to determine if it is reasonable. Once the Contracting Officer has determined that adequate price competition exists within this source selection price fair and reasonableness will be evaluated, at a minimum, based on the comparison of the offeror's overall TEP with all other competitive offerors' overall TEPs received in response to the solicitation.After the proposals are ranked by Price, the Past Performance evaluation will proceed as defined in Section B.2. Past Performance Evaluation: Using the information provided in Volume II, Past Performance Proposal and Volume III, Past Performance References (Attachment 5) and completed Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment 6) and other available information, the Contracting Officer will evaluate past performance information based on (1) the past and present efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other Government, commercial and other sources. For each effort provided by the offeror, the Contracting Officer will evaluate whether the effort is recent, as that term recent is defined in paragraph (a)(5) above.If an effort is determined to be recent, then the Contracting Officer will assign the effort one of the four relevancy ratings in Table 1.0 in paragraph (a)(5) above. After evaluating each effort for recency and relevancy, the Contracting Officer will assign the offeror one of the following Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings:Table 2.0 - Performance Confidence AssessmentsPerformance Confidence Assessment RatingsSubstantial Confidence Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.No Confidence Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.Unknown Confidence (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.c. The Government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receive a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment. The purpose of the Past Performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror's ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror's demonstrated present and Past Performance. The Government will conduct a performance confidence assessment based upon Past Performance of the offerors as it relates to the probability of successfully performing the solicitation requirements. This evaluation will include the offeror's record of (i) conforming to the Performance Work Statement, (ii) management of the project, (iii) reasonable and cooperative behavior and performance and commitment to customer satisfaction, and (iv) quality control. This assessment represents the Government evaluation team's judgment of the probability of an offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort, based upon the offeror's demonstrated present and Past Performance. The rating may be determined initially or as a result of discussions. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence, as defined in Table 1.0.d. Offerors submitting Past Performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel, or subcontractors, are highly encouraged to provide sufficient details regarding them to allow the Government to fully evaluate the relative value of the information. For example, but not limited to, how is the Past Performance of a predecessor company, key personnel, or subcontractor recent and relevant to the determination of this offeror's ability to perform this contract. What will the level of involvement of key personnel be on this contract effort? Provide full details of any subcontractor's involvement on this work effort.The offeror shall provide past performance from subcontractors that will perform major (25% or more of the total contract effort) aspects of the requirement and outline what percentage of the work this subcontractor will accomplish on this effort.e. In evaluating Past Performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP.f. Offerors with no recent and relevant past or present performance history or the offeror's performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Definitions for Performance Confidence Assessments and Relevancy are as defined below:c. BEST VALUE DETERMINATION: Offerors will be initially be ranked from lowest TEP to the highest TEP. Next, past performance will be evaluated and a confidence rating assigned.1. If the proposal with the lowest TEP is determined to be reasonable and is judged to have an overall Substantial Confidence performance rating, and the offeror is determined to be responsible, that offer represents the Best Value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.2. IF THE LOWEST TEP OFFER IS NOT JUDGED TO HAVE AN OVERALL SUBSTAINIAL CONFIDENCE PEFORMANCE RATING THE EVALUATION WILL CONTINUE AS FOLLOWS:a. If the lowest TEP offer is reasonable but does not have a confidence rating of Substantial Confidence, the next lowest TEP offer will be evaluated and the process will continue until an offeror whose Price is reasonable receives a confidence rating of Substantial Confidence overall for Past Performance.b. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment Best Value award decision by determining if the Best Value to the Government is to pay a higher cost for a higher Past Performance assessment rating. The Government reserves the following rights:i. To award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror who has Substantial Confidence Rating;ii. To award to higher TEP offeror who has Substantial Confidence Rating;iii. To award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror who has at least a Satisfactory Confidence Rating.3. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items and its Addendum of this solicitation. Offeror's may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of Past Performance information) or respond to adverse Past Performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse Past Performance is defined as Past Performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.4. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines this to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers, if such, is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in received offers.5. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial offers received, without discussion of such offers. The offeror's initial proposal should reflect their best effort.6. If the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) determines that discussions are necessary, offerors may be required to participate in telephone discussions or in face-to-face oral discussions at the Operational Contracting Division, 308 West D Avenue, Suite 130, Bldg. 260, Eglin AFB FL.The following provisions and clauses are incorporated by reference and in effect tough Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-80 (2 Mar 15) and DFARS Publication Notice 20150326.

Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection.
