The provisions and clauses can be found at FAR website: http://farsite.hill.af.mil and DFARS website: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vfdfara.htm (3) Exhibit 5, Completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ).BASIS OF EVALUATION1. The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the lowest price technically acceptable offer.2. As stated in the solicitation, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.3. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.4. An overall non-price factors rating must be at least "ACCEPTABLE" in order to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating in any factor results in the overall non-price factors proposal being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" unless corrected tough discussions. An overall non-price factors rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a proposal ineligible for award.B. SAFETY EVALUATION1. Per NFAS 15.304(b), solicitations utilizing source selection procedures for procurements within the 50 United States and the District of Columbia shall contain a standard "Safety" technical evaluation factor. This factor shall be included as a stand-alone evaluation factor and not as a sub-factor or an element of the Past Performance evaluation factor. This action will result in the selection of contractors that have consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and the ability to properly manage and implement safety procedures for themselves and all tiers of subcontractors under their purview.2. The safety evaluation has tee elements: Experience Modification Rate (EMR), Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) Days Away from Work, Job Restriction, or Transfer (DART), and Technical Approach to Safety.3. The tee elements of safety, as listed above, are not sub-factors. The evaluators should collectively consider all elements of safety when assigning an overall adjectival rating for this factor. The SSEB will need to make a qualitative determination of the rating for this factor, taking into account the risk ratings for EMR and DART and the subjective evaluation of the narrative.4. Evaluators will not average the rating from the tee years for the EMR and the DART.4. The following should be utilized by evaluators as a general guideline to evaluate the EMR and DART rates:Risk EMRVery Low Risk Less than 0.6Low Risk From 0.6 to less than 0.8Moderate Risk From 0.8 to 1.0High Risk Greater than1.0 to 1.1Extremely High Risk Greater than 1.1Risk DART Rate Very Low Risk Less Than 1.0 Low Risk From 1.0 to 1.99 Moderate Risk From 2.0 to 2.99 High Risk From 3.0 to 4.0 Extremely High Risk Greater than 4.0C. ADJECTIVAL RATINGS/DESCRIPTIONSEach offeror's technical factors and past performance will be evaluated separately. Upon the conclusion of the evaluation of the technical factors an overall non-price factors rating of Acceptable (A) or Unacceptable (U) will be assigned to each offeror's non-price factors proposal.1. The following adjectival ratings and rating descriptions will be used to assign a rating to each technical factor. Use upper case letter ratings for major technical factor ratings. The addition of plus (+) or minus (-) to an adjective rating is not allowed.Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable RatingsRating DescriptionAcceptable (A) Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.Unacceptable (U) Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.The weaknesses and/or deficiencies (as defined below) of each proposal for each non-price evaluation factor which influenced the assigned adjectival rating shall be identified.Definitions Weakness A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. Significant Weakness A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.Deficiency A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.2. PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONPast Performance shall be evaluated when using the LPTA process, unless waived by the PCO in accordance with FAR 15.101-2(b). Past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis using the ratings in the following table:Table A-2. Past Performance Evaluation RatingsRating DescriptionAcceptable (A) Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.)Unacceptable (U) Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable."(a) Aspects of Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation results is an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. There are two aspects of the past performance evaluation.(1) The first is to evaluate whether the offeror's present/past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. The criteria to establish what is relevant is unique to each LPTA source selection. For this solicitation, The Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based upon client satisfaction on recent relevant cell phone and black berry services within the last five (5) years. Client satisfaction will be measured based upon quality of work, effectiveness of management, timely completion of work, and compliance with safety standards. Further, as an integral part of client satisfaction, the Offeror's termination for default history and safety record will also be evaluated.(2) The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts. The past performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror's past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror performed those past contracts.(b) SSEB members will review past performance information to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to the performance confidence assessment.D. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:Factor 1 - Offeror Experience Factor 2 - Past PerformanceFactor 3 - SafetyThe distinction between Offeor Experience and Past Performance is Offeror Experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance relates to how well a contractor has performed. 2. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.The relative order of importance of the technical evaluation factors are considered of equal weight, and when combined, are approximately equal to price.a. Price(1) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror shall submit the following in the order shown below in a sealed envelope. Envelope is to be clearly marked in the bottom right corner as follows:Offeror's NamePRICE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED UNDER RFP N40192-13-R-8008DO NOT OPEN IN MAILROOM(i) Standard Form (SF) 33 (Solicitation, Offer, and Award) - Offeror is to complete blocks 15 tough 18(ii) Exhibits A tu E from Section J of the solicitation - Offeror is to complete all ELIN unit pricing for each contract period, which will become the rates effective at contract award(iii) Representations and Certifications from Section K of the solicitation -Offeror is to complete Section K and the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA)(iv) Joint Venture Agreement (if applicable)(2) Basis of Evaluation: Prices will be evaluated for reasonableness based on:(1) Comparison of proposed prices with other offers received in response to the solicitation; and (2) Comparison with the Independent Government Estimate. Unrealistically low (or high) proposed prices or prices unbalanced between the various option periods, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the Offeror does not understand the requirement, or has made an unrealistic proposal.b. Technical Factors:(1) FACTOR 1, OFFEROR EXPERIENCE(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The Offeror shall submit the following under Tab "1" of their proposal:(1) Use format in Attachment 2 (Offeror Experience Project Data Sheet) to submit projects for evaluation under experience. Submit Attachment 2 under Tab "1" of the proposal.(2) Submit projects for Black Berry and Cell Phone Wireless services.(3) Submit projects completed or substantially completed (80% complete) within five-year period. The five-year period is calculated by counting back five years from the date set for the receipt of proposals in the RFP.(4) Submit a maximum of five (5) projects for the Offeror.(5) Submit evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement which creates legal responsibility on the part of the subcontractors, as applicable. Proposals that fail to use format in Attachment 2 may be rated lower. All projects submitted which are outside the five-year period or above the maximum number allowed for consideration will be removed and discarded prior to evaluation. All projects submitted which are not relevant in scope will be removed and discarded prior to evaluation. Offerors who submit relevant projects for a subsidiary, satellite office, parent company, or predecessor company must fully explain how this office will participate in this contract. If it is not clear how this office will participate in this contract, the project will be removed and discarded prior to evaluation.(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The Offeror's experience will be evaluated based upon demonstrated Black Berry and Cell Phone Wireless services experience similar in scope, size, type, and complexity to the work in the RFP.(2) FACTOR 2, PAST PERFORMANCE:(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The Offeror shall submit the following under Tab "2" of their proposal:(1) Submit one of the following for each of the projects submitted under Factor 1 - Offeror Experience:a. A Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) for Services, a Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) Performance Evaluation - Construction Contract, or an Architect- Engineer Contract Administration Support System (ACASS) Performance Evaluation.b. If a commercial project, submit a PPQ.c. If a Government project, submit a copy of a CPAR, CCASS, or ACASS. The Government will not evaluate any PPQ submitted for a Government project if an official CPAR, CCASS or ACASS evaluation exists in the Government database.d. An interim CPAR, CCASS, ACASS or PPQ will be accepted for evaluation if an Offeror submits projects which are at least 80%,but less than 100% complete.(2) If you are submitting a project that your firm performed as a subcontractor, the prime contractor may be cited as the client POC.(3) Submit projects completed or substantially completed (at least 80%) within five-year period. The five-year period is calculated by counting back five years from the date set for the receipt of proposals in the RFP.(4) Submit a maximum of five (5) projects for the Offeror.(2) Basis of Evaluation: The Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based upon client satisfaction on recent relevant cell phone and black berry wireless services within the last five (5) years. Client satisfaction will be measured based upon quality of work, effectiveness of management, timely completion of work, and compliance with safety standards. Further, as an integral part of client satisfaction, the Offeror's termination for default history and safety record will also be evaluated. The Government's sources of information for evaluating past performance may include, but are not limited to, any and all information provided by the contractor, inquiries of owner representative(s), any other known sources not provided by the Offeror, Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.(3) FACTOR 3, SAFETY:(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The Offeror shall submit the following information: (For a partnership or joint venture, the following submittal requirements are required for each contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required.

Lower OSHA DART Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation. (3) Technical Approach for Safety: Describe the plan that the Offeror will implement to evaluate safety performance of potential subcontractors, as a part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. Also, describe any innovative methods that the Offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. The Safety Narrative shall be limited to two pages.(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The Government is seeking to determine that the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the Offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's overall safety record, the Offeror's plan to select and monitor subcontractors, any and innovative safety methods that the Offeror plans to implement for this procurement.
