EVALUATION COMMERCIAL ITEMS

A contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced technically acceptable quoter. Quotes will be evaluated for acceptability but will not be ranked using the non-cost/price factors. In order to be eligible for award, quoters must receive a rating of “acceptable” in every non-price factor/sub-factor.

The following factors and sub-factors will be used to determine technical acceptability:

Factor #1 – Technical Capability of Item Offered

Sub-factor #1 – Ability of the Service to Meet Required Specifications - In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this sub-factor, quoter must at a minimum, demonstrate adequate technical capability of the service quoted to meet or exceed the service specifications, including equipment to be used in performance of the service.

Sub-factor #2—Ability to Meet Performance Schedule - In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this sub-factor, quoter shall provide a schedule for performance that meets the desired schedule.

Sub-factor #3 – Key Personnel – In order to receive a rating of “acceptable,” quoter shall identify the experience and qualifications of the key personnel, to manage performance of the required service.

Factor #2 -Past Performance

Sub-factor #1- Recency and relevancy of present/past performance in relation to this effort - In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this sub-factor, offeror must, at a minimum provide past experience on similar type contract(s). The past experience should indicate successes of the contractor in completing/meeting delivery dates and customer satisfaction.

The Government considers “recent” present/past performance to be within the past 3 years The Government considers “relevant” present/past performance to be present/past performance effort involved in similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the offeror. Information obtained from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) database located at http//www.ppirs.gov is one of the sources that will be utilized, and the quoter must have a rating of SATISFACTORY or higher in this system to be considered acceptable. PPIRS functions as the central warehouse for performance assessment reports received from several Federal performance information collection systems and is sponsored by the DOD E-Business Office and administered by the Naval Sea Logistics Center Detachment Portsmouth.

NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)), 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 shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

Factor #3 – Bio-Based Products: In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this factor, quoter must, at a minimum identify bio-based products which will be used in performance of this service.

Factor # 4-Price: Award will be made to the lowest priced quoter that is evaluated as “acceptable” for all non-price factors.
