ADDENDA
FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items Evaluation. (Oct 2014)
1. Evaluation Factors
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and past performance considered. Each Offeror’s quote shall be evaluated against the following evaluation factors:
FACTOR 1: PRICE
FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE
Past Performance is significantly more important than Price.
(b) Options. 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 or unit price(s) are significantly unreasonable, unaffordable, or unbalanced. Evaluation of unit price(s) 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.
2. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD
The Government will adhere to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items, during evaluation of quotes. This is a competitive subjective tradeoff in which competing Offeror’s past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than price. The Government will evaluate Price evaluation factor 1, and Past Performance evaluation factor 2. The Government will determine which offer represents the best overall value. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, the Offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:
Factor 1: Total Evaluated Price. First, all Offerors will be ranked according to price, inclusive of option prices. The Government shall assess each Offeror’s quoted price for reasonableness, affordability, and balance. An Offeror’s quoted prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Pricing Schedule by the unit price for each item to confirm the extended amount for each line item. All sub-totals will then be added to confirm the total for the base and all option periods. Similarly, the price for 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services shall be evaluated by evaluating the quoted price for the fifth option period, in order to establish any possible extension of services fair and reasonable at time of award. If the lowest priced offer is determined to have reasonable, affordable, or balanced pricing, the Government will evaluate that offer for past performance. If the lowest priced offer is determined not to have reasonable pricing, the Government will evaluate the next lowest priced Offeror’s in the same manner.
Factor 2: Performance Confidence Assessment. Next, past performance will be evaluated. The contracting officer will seek recent and relevant performance information on the lowest price Offeror based on (1) the references provided by the Offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources.
Recent is defined as performance during the preceding three years from the date of issuance of this synopsis/solicitation.
Relevant performance includes performance of efforts requiring management, tools, equipment, and labor, to perform Facilities Maintenance of an effort similar in scope and magnitude of effort and complexity as this solicitation requires.
The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the Offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements based on the offeror’s demonstrated past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Neutral Confidence, Limited Confidence, or No Confidence as defined in the table below. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal Offeror. Offerors with no recent/relevant performance history or if the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating of “Neutral Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The Government shall give greater consideration to Offerors whose past performance information rates “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” than to those Offerors whose past performance information rates “Neutral Confidence.”
Performance Confidence Assessments
Rating
Description
Substantial 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.
Neutral Confidence
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. The Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.
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 be able to successfully perform the required effort.
In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater weight to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal Offeror. The following table, also from the DoD Source Selection Guide, describes past performance relevancy ratings.
Past Performance Relevancy Ratings
Rating
Definition
Very Relevant
Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Relevant
Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Somewhat Relevant
Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Not Relevant
Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
If an Offeror is the lowest reasonable, affordable, balanced priced, and receives a “Substantial Confidence” past performance confidence rating, that offer represents the best value to the Government and award will be made with no further evaluations. If the lowest priced Offeror is found to have unreasonable, unaffordable, or unbalanced pricing, evaluations will continue until an Offeror is found with reasonable, affordable, balanced pricing, and receives a “Substantial Confidence” past performance confidence assessment or until all offers have been evaluated. At that point an integrated assessment best value award decision will be made considering a trade-off between Past Performance and Price to determine the best value for the government. In the event no Offeror receives a substantial confidence rating, the Contracting Officer will evaluate the lowest reasonable, affordable, balanced priced satisfactory confidence rated offer or determine if discussions are in order.
Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their Offeror 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 supporting 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 offer revision.
The Government intends to make award based on the initial submissions without conducting interchanges. Therefore, each offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to hold interchanges if, during the evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Interchanges are fluid interactions between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Offerors that may address any aspect of the quote and may or may not be documented in real time. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges using Interchange Notices (IN). Offeror responses to INs will be considered in making the award selection decision.
Interchanges may be conducted with one, some, or all Offerors. The Government is not required to conduct interchanges with any or all Offerors responding to this Synopsis/Solicitation. The CO will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the evaluation techniques at FAR 13.106-3(a).

OMBUDSMAN.
(APRIL 2014)
An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern.
Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).
If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsmen, Mrs. Susan Madison, AFICC OL AMC, 510 POW/MIA, Scott AFB, IL 62225-5022, 618-229-0267, fax 618- 256-5724, email: susan.madison@us.af.mil. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the Center/MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICC/AFISRA/SMC ombudsman levels, may be brought by the interested party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (571) 256-2395, facsimile number (571) 256-2431.
The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency.
Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the Contracting Officer.
