Section 9: Evaluation Factors for Award

Basis for Award:

The Government Publishing Office, 31451 United Ave., Pueblo, CO, 81001 and 31700 Excellence Ave., Pueblo, CO, 81001, requires janitorial services at the Congressman Frank Evans Pueblo Distribution Center to maintain a clean and sanitary environment consistent with the highest standards. This contract will cover comprehensive cleaning tasks as specified in the Statement of Work, including but not limited to daily sweeping, mopping, dusting, and restroom sanitation.

The lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) approach will be utilized for this procurement. The Government anticipates awarding a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Purchase Order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be the lowest price technically acceptable quote.

Quotes will be determined to be technically acceptable in accordance with the noted evaluation factors. The evaluation factors for this acquisition are:

Past Performance

Acceptable: Offerors are instructed to submit two completed (2) Past Performance Questionnaires for work performed within the past three years of the closing date of this solicitation; offerors may include performance still in progress. The Offeror must demonstrate satisfactory past performance during the past three years based on the offeror's performance record from references.

Unacceptable: Based on the offeror's performance record from references, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

*No past performance record will be given a neutral rating.

The agency reserves the right to consider past performance on contracts previously awarded by GPO during evaluations.

Capability and Approach The contractor must demonstrate the ability to comply with all specified technical and performance requirements in the SOW, including cleaning standards, schedules, security measures, and management capabilities. Offerors must have provided these services to either a government or commercial entity for a minimum of five years. The offeror’s proposal must include a three-page (maximum) narrative that provides a company overview and details the company’s proposed approach for accomplishing the technical objectives of the statement of work.

Pricing Pricing that is unrealistically low may be considered an indication that the quoter does not possess adequate understanding of the requirement or the requisite technical capability to successfully perform the work. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the pricing is significantly unbalanced.

The quote submitted shall include the following:

1. Quotation/Pricing: Provide a firm fixed price, inclusive of the elements covered in Factors 1 and 2, and 3, for the entire scope of janitorial services as detailed in the SOW. This price should be inclusive of all labor, supervision, materials, and equipment necessary to perform the services.

2. System for Award Management (SAM) registration info: Ensure that your business is registered in SAM and provide the registration information, which helps verify your eligibility to receive federal contracts.

3. Vendor Information:

o Address and Tax Identification Number (TIN).

o Vendor Point of Contact (POC), including name, email address, and phone number.

Award Decision

• The Government anticipated awarding a Firm Fixed Price contract to the responsive offeror that meets the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA).

Quotes shall be submitted to the Contract Specialist, Brittany Freeman at bfreeman@gpo.gov and the Contracting Officer, Troy White at twhite@gpo.gov no later than close of business September 12, 2024 by 4 PM Eastern Std. time.

DISPUTES (GPO Clause June 2008) This contract is subject to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S.C. 601-613, and as modified by Section 1501 of Title I of Division H of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law No. 110-161).

Except as provided in the Act, all disputes arising under or relating to this contract shall be resolved under this clause.

However, a written demand or written assertion by the Contractor seeking the payment of money exceeding $50,000 is not a claim under the Act until certified. A voucher, invoice, or other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a claim under the Act. The submission may be converted to a claim under the Act, by complying with the submission and certification requirements of this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.

(1) A claim by the Contractor shall be made in writing and, unless otherwise stated in this contract, submitted within 6 years after accrual of the claim to the Contracting Officer for a written decision. A claim by the Government against the Contractor shall be subject to a written decision by the Contracting Officer.

(2) (i) The Contractor shall provide the certification specified in paragraph (d)(2)(iii) of this clause when submitting any claim exceeding$50,000.

The certification requirement does not apply to issues in controversy that have not been submitted as all or part of a claim.

The certification shall state as follows: "I certify that the claim is made in good faith; that the supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief; that the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which the Contractor believes the Government is liable; and that I am duly authorized to certify the claim on behalf of the Contractor."

(3) The certification may be executed by any person duly authorized to bind the Contractor with respect to the claim.

For Contractor claims of $50,000 or less, the Contracting Officer must, if requested in writing by the Contractor, render a decision within 60 days of the request. For Contractor-certified claims over $50,000, the Contracting Officer must, within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the Contractor of the date by which the decision will be made.

The Contracting Officer's decision shall be final unless the Contractor appeals, within ninety (90) days of receipt of a Contracting Officer’s decision, to the U.S. Government Accountability Office Contract Appeals Board (GAO CAB), 441 G Street, NW, Room 7182, Washington, DC, 20548; Facsimile:202-512-9749; E-Mail: CAB@gao.gov.

If the claim by the Contractor is submitted to the Contracting Officer or a claim by the Government is presented to the Contractor, the parties, by mutual consent, may agree to use alternative dispute resolution (ADR). If the Contractor refuses an offer for ADR, the Contractor shall inform the Contracting Officer, in writing, of the Contractor's specific reasons for rejecting the offer.

The Government shall pay interest on the amount found due and unpaid from (1) the date that the Contracting Officer receives the claim (certified, if required); or (2) the date that payment otherwise would be due, if that date is later, until mailto:CAB@gao.gov the date of payment. Regarding claims having defective certifications, interest shall be paid from the date that the Contracting Officer initially receives the claim. [A defective certification means a certificate which alters or otherwise deviates from the language in(d)(2)(iii) above, or which is not executed by a person duly authorized to bind the contractor with respect to the claim. Failure to certify shall not be deemed to be a defective certification.] Simple interest on claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury as provided in the Act, which is applicable to the period during which the Contracting Officer receives the claim and then at the rate applicable for each 6- month period as fixed by the Treasury Secretary during the pendency of the claim. The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any request for relief, claim, appeal, or action arising under the contract, and comply with any decision of the Contracting Officer.
