The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1 - Technical Acceptability: Technical acceptability will be determined based on the following subfactors: Subfactor 1: Offerors shall submit a safety oversight program or confirm in writing that safety oversight is being exercised by the Federal Aviation Administration. Subfactor 2: Offerors shall be listed as a Department of Defense (DOD) Approved Carrier or listed as an authorized Paratroop Carrier at the U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command website https://private.amc.af.mil/a3/default.aspx?div=a34b in order to conduct personnel airdrops, which must be in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. DODI 4500.53 - Commercial Air Transportation Quality and Safety Review Program, Enclosure 6 Airdrop Operations applies to personnel airdrops and is provided at Attachment 1 of the Performance Work Statement. Subfactor 3: The technical proposal demonstrates a minimum of five years of experience in performing airlift support services for all of the Specific Tasks in Part 5 of the Performance Work Statement. If you are proposing an aircraft other than a C-130, your proposal must include sufficient information to allow the Government to evaluate the proposed aircraft to determine whether or not the aircraft is equivalent to the C-130. Technical proposals will be evaluated as either acceptable, susceptible to being made acceptable, or unacceptable. Factor 2 - Past Performance: The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an offerors likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The past performance evaluation will focus on the quality of the offeror's recent and relevant current and past performance taking into consideration the elements of Quality of Service, Schedule, Safety, Customer Satisfaction, and Business Relations. In order for the Government to assess past performance, proposals shall include the following information relative to tee current or completed (within the last tee years) contracts relevant to the YPG requirement:1) Name of Contracting Activity that awarded the contract2) Contract Number and Period of Performance3) Contract Type (Fixed Price, Cost Reimbursable, etc.)4) Total Contract Value5) Contracting Officer name and contact information6) Brief history of the airlift support services performed7) Name/organization/position and phone number of knowledgeable individual who can be queried by Government evaluators Factor 3 - Price: The intent of the Government is to use the aircraft on an 'as needed' basis rather than having the aircraft on constant standby. As most of YPG's testing is planned, it is YPG's intent to always give as much advance notification for missions to the aircraft support contractor as possible. During the period of contract performance, providing your commercial schedule will assist YPG in planning its schedule ahead of time. (This would occur after contract award is made. Do not submit your schedule with your proposal.) We recognize that contractors have business outside of YPG and will coordinate with the contractor in advance scheduling. There may be instances when military aircraft supporting missions may depart on an unscheduled basis. In such a case YPG will give a minimum 72 hour notice, and if required, will provide a cancellation notification within 24 hours of execution of the test.The Performance Work Statement includes a statement that the proximity of response for the contractor is requested to be within 2 flight hours of YPG. The contractor should include in their proposal any 'guarantee' payments they need to provide the 2 hour response time. Alternate response times with and without guarantee payments may be included in the offeror's proposal.Your proposal pricing must include the following for the base period and each of the option periods:- Ferry Flight charges are applicable on the inbound flight to Laguna Air Field (YPG) - "Dry" rate charges are charged for all other flights, including the flight back to the contractor's facility, except for special missions that take the aircraft offsite of YPG. - Special missions flown offsite of YPG, when Government supplied fuel is not available, will be flown at the dry rate and the contractor will be reimbursed for fuel costs. - The "Daily Availability" rate represents the minimum charge per day at the "dry" rate for the current year. All actual operational BFH including the inbound ferry flight will be credited towards meeting the daily availability charge.Fuel CostThe Contractor will be reimbursed the cost of fuel for the inbound ferry flight. Offerors are not to provide a cost when submitting proposals. This is a common cost line item. Estimated Fuel cost per year: $600,000. "As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, first option, second option, and one-half of the second option. Offerors are required only to price the base and two options. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential one-half year extension of services period."Base YearFerry Flight, fuel excluded: $______________BFH Operation, fuel excluded, dry rate: $______________If Applicable: Daily Availability rate per day: (NTE 4 days/week) $______________Loadmaster Daily Rate (if not included in BFH or Ferry rates): $______________Fees for late cancellation of scheduled flights: Scheduled flights that are canceled by the customer with less than 7 days notice that cause a financial loss to the contractor because of other business that the contractor has turned down for the scheduled timeframe.

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).(c) 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 of withdrawal is received before award.(End of provision)52.252-1 SOLICITATION PROVISIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE (FEB 1998)This solicitation incorporates one or more solicitation provisions by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text.
