As the Technical and Management Approach and Relevant Past Performance ratings converge, price may become more important.The USCG will evaluate the offers that meet the requirements of the solicitation against the following evaluation criteria: Factor 1 - Technical Approach & Capability: The Government will evaluate each offeror's technical approach to determine their capacity to meet all the requirements outlined in the PWS this will include the evaluation of the understanding of the PWS, an evaluation of the course descriptions and outlines, course facilities, training aids, and the resumes' of personnel designated Key IAW HSAR 3052.215-70Factor 2- Relevant Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the past performance of the offeror for relevancy.

To be considered relevant, the services must have been performed within the past tee years. The USCG reserves the right to utilize past performance information other than the information submitted with the proposals received in conducting the evaluation. A Contractor without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but will receive a neutral rating. The USCG may consider past performance information regarding predecessor companies or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is considered relevant.Factor 3 - Price: The offeror shall propose pricing for all courses. The offeror shall include their course cancellation policy, if any. Cancellation policies will be evaluated based on the government canceling one of each course per contract year 30 days before course convening, and one of each course per contract year 15 days before course convening. The Government will evaluate the total overall price based on the maximum estimated quantity of courses and the cancellation ceiling to determine price reasonableness.FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items (Nov 2012)FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (Feb 2012)FAR 52.212-5 -- Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders -- Commercial Items (Nov 2012)As prescribed in 12.301(b)(4), insert the following clause:Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders -- Commercial Items (Nov 2012)(a) The Contractor shall comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, which are incorporated in this contract by reference, to implement provisions of law or Executive orders applicable to acquisitions of commercial items:(1) 52.222-50, Combating Trafficking in Persons (FEB 2009) (22 U.S.C. 7104(g)).____ Alternate I (AUG 2007) of 52.222-50 (22 U.S.C. 7104(g)).(2) 52.233-3, Protest After Award (AUG 1996) (31 U.S.C. 3553).(3) 52.233-4, Applicable Law for Breach of Contract Claim (OCT 2004) (Pub.

The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum, rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman.Informal forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the USCG Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable). Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the contracting officer tough open and frank discussions. If the protester's concerns are unresolved, an independent review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the contracting officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency's goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103. If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protest to meet the requirement. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted to:Department of Homeland SecurityUnited States Coast Guard (CG-9131)Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests1900 Half Street, SW, Room 11-0602Washington, D.
