FAR 52.212-1(b)(10) information shall be in Volume 2. Volume 1, Section II requires each offeror to submit a fully completed price schedule (Attachment 3 – Price Schedule NC MHE Maintenance). VOLUME 2: Past Performance Questionnaire The offeror is required to provide any current relevant information regarding the level of performance, in terms of delivery and quality achieved under either US Government or commercial contracts for the same or similar services within the last five (5) years. The information provided should support a qualitative review of the offeror; and/or; record of performance in the areas of conforming to specifications, adherence to contract schedules, history of reasonable and cooperative behavior, commitment to customer satisfaction, and business-like concern for the interest of your customer. Additionally, if performance deficiencies were identified, what they were and what corrective action was taken. Offerors shall submit past performance data for either the firm; and/or principal subcontractor(s); and/or key employees of the firm. For each reference provided, a valid name and telephone number, contract number, contract type, dollar value, contract award and completion dates, point of contact, description of worked performed, and e-mail address of point of contact is required. The description of work performed shall be described in sufficient detail to explain how each reference relates to same or similar requirements of this solicitation in areas such as type of equipment maintained, performance timeframes, performance locations, management of a similar size equipment fleet, and complexities of services (to determine the relevancy of the work). If the offeror elects to provide principal subcontractor past performance, the offeror shall provide the principal subcontractors’ consent allowing the US Government to disclose negative past performance information to the offeror. Reference projects and corresponding reference questionnaires are limited to tee (3) projects considered by the offeror to be the most relevant to the requirements of this solicitation. If more than tee projects with reference questionnaires are received, the US Government will consider the first tee projects received based upon the date and time the reference questionnaire are received. Attachment 6 – Past Performance Questionnaire shall be used to evaluate an offeror’s past performance. The offeror shall provide the past performance questionnaire in Attachment 6 to the past performance reference they identify in this part of the quotes for the offeror, principal subcontractors and key personnel. The past performance reference shall independently submit the survey to the Contracting Officer prior to the closing date of the solicitation. Any completed past performance questionnaire received after closing date and time of this combined synopsis/solicitation or directly from the offeror will not be considered in the past performance evaluation. The US Government will not evaluate a reference listed in the past performance Volume 2 if no corresponding past performance questionnaire is received from a reference for that contract. This will have the effect of the offeror being given a Neutral rating for that portion of their overall evaluation, regardless of the type of experience or its similarity to this requirement. Past performance questionnaires must be received by the due date for receipt of quotes in order for the information to be considered. Offerors are cautioned that due to mail delivery times to the U.S., it is highly recommended that all contract references requested to provide surveys scan the documents into Adobe.pdf format and emailed to brandon.awkerman@dla.mil with a reference to the solicitation, SP4510-25-Q-1010 North Carolina MHE in the subject heading. The submission of volume 2 past performance is required. If an offeror does not have any past performance references, offerors must at least identify a Volume 2 in their quote and state they do not have any past performance to provide. If the US Government only receives a past performance questionnaire from a past performance reference and there is no information in an offeror’s quotes regarding that reference (see paragraph above), the reference will not be considered. The offeror is responsible for ensuring references submit past performance questionnaires prior to solicitation closure; the US Government will not be contacting references for purposes of obtaining the questionnaire. ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS Evaluation Factors for Award: Trade-Off Process. Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, past performance and price considered. The offer selected as best value will represent the best trade-off to the Government among past performance and price. Past performance will be significantly more important than price. The Government will determine best value on the basis of an assessment of the following factors: 1. Past Performance factor: The Government will evaluate past performance in accordance with the past performance questionnaire and evaluation clause in this combined synopsis/solicitation. 2. Price Factor: The Government will evaluate the offered prices received in the completed and submitted Price Schedule for price reasonableness in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.404-1. Evaluation of Past Performance: Except under the circumstances noted in this combined synopsis/solicitation paragraph titled Efficiency in Competition, the US Government will evaluate the quality of the offeror’s past performance. The assessment of the offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the probability of success of the offeror. Thus, an offeror with a higher confidence assessment rating for past performance will have a higher probability of meeting the solicitation requirements than a firm with a lower confidence assessment rating. In investigating an offeror’s past performance, the US Government may consider information in the offeror’s quotes and information obtained from other sources, including past and present customers and their employees, other US Government agencies, including state and local agencies, consumer protection organizations and better business bureaus; former subcontractors; and others who may have useful information. Failure by the offeror to provide evidence of relevant performance on contracts of a similar nature in terms of performance timeframes and complexities of services provided will be considered by the US Government to have no relevant past performance. The offeror is responsible for ensuring references submit past performance surveys; the offeror’s reference must submit the past performance survey. The US Government will not accept past performance surveys submitted by the offeror or contact offeror references to obtain a completed survey. The US Government will evaluate past performance and experience in accordance with submission requirements of the solicitation. Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptable performance. The US Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of services. This is a matter of judgment. Offerors will be given an opportunity to address especially unfavorable reports of past performance, and the offeror’s response, or lack thereof, will be taken into consideration. Offerors lacking relevant past performance will not receive negative or positive consideration in the evaluation of this element as no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. Past performance will be rated on an adjectival scale. The US Government’s conclusions about the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance and experience will be a factor in determining the relative merits of the offeror’s quotes and in selecting the offeror whose quote is considered the most advantageous to the US Government. By past performance, the US Government means how well the offeror conformed to specifications and to standards of good workmanship; the offeror’s adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the offeror’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and the offeror’s business-like concern for the interests of the customer. By experience, the US Government means whether a contractor’s firm, principal subcontractor, or key personnel has performed similar work before. DLA Disposition Services will also consider the offeror’s past performance and experience on the same or similar contracts in terms of complexities of the services provided. Offerors with no past performance will be issued a Neutral rating for past performance. Evaluation of Price: The offered price will be used in conjunction with the other factors to determine the quote, which represents the best value to the US Government. Price will not be numerically scored, but it will be fully evaluated using price analysis techniques. Efficiency Competition: Offerors are advised that the US Government may not evaluate the past performance quote of all offerors under this RFP. The US Government will review the total evaluated price of all quotes received in accordance with the evaluation factors for award provided. The past performance quotes of those offerors whose pricing is determined by the Contracting Officer to be most competitive may be reviewed prior to, or instead of, other past performance quotes received. Based on the initial review of these past performance quotes, the US Government may not evaluate the past performance quote of other offerors, whose total evaluated pricing was higher than that of one already evaluated and already assigned the highest possible past performance rating. This would occur when the Contracting Officer determines that any possible past performance superiority of an unevaluated (and higher priced) past performance quote, over (a lower priced) one that was already evaluated and assigned the highest possible past performance rating, would not warrant any additional price premium. Minimum/maximum for the base period is $2,500.00 and a maximum value of 150% above the total estimated value for the period. No minimum is guaranteed for the option periods.

(6) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a)(4) and (5) above, the Government may at any time require the Contractor to remedy by correction or replacement, without cost to the Government, any failure by the Contractor to comply with the requirements of this contract, if the failure is due to- (i) Fraud, lack of good faith, or willful misconduct on the part of the Contractor's managerial personnel; or (ii) The conduct of one or more of the Contractor’s employees selected or retained by the Contractor after any of the Contractor’s managerial personnel has reasonable grounds to believe that the employee is habitually careless or unqualified. (7) This clause applies in the same manner and to the same extent to corrected or replacement materials or services as to materials and services originally delivered under this contract. (8) The Contractor has no obligation or liability under this contract to correct or replace materials and services that at time of delivery do not meet contract requirements, except as provided in this clause or as may be otherwise specified in the contract. (9) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Contractor's obligation to correct or replace Government-furnished property shall be governed by the clause pertaining to Government property.

The Government will pay the Contractor as follows upon the submission of commercial invoices approved by the Contracting Officer: (i) Hourly rate. (A) The amounts shall be computed by multiplying the appropriate hourly rates prescribed in the contract by the number of direct labor hours performed. Fractional parts of an hour shall be payable on a prorated basis. (B) The rates shall be paid for all labor performed on the contract that meets the labor qualifications specified in the contract. Labor hours incurred to perform tasks for which labor qualifications were specified in the contract will not be paid to the extent the work is performed by individuals that do not meet the qualifications specified in the contract, unless specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer.

In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work hereunder and shall immediately cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid an amount for direct labor hours (as defined in the Schedule of the contract) determined by multiplying the number of direct labor hours expended before the effective date of termination by the hourly rate(s) in the contract, less any hourly rate payments already made to the Contractor plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system that have resulted from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractor’s records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred that reasonably could have been avoided. (m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law.
