(14) Offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall include technical capability, past performance information, and pricing.

(i) FACTOR I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY. Provide an offer demonstrating your firm’s capability to provide the items required in the Product Specifications (Attachment 1). Address the following criteria:

(A) Sub-Factor 1 – Salient Characteristics. Submit detailed description and characteristics for the items to be provided ensuring compliance with the specifications in Attachment 1.

Solicitation Number: 1240BF25Q0004 Page 2

(B) Sub-Factor 2 – Delivery and Shipping. Submit detailed delivery and shipping information addressing the type of delivery (full or partial), type of FBO (shipping or destination), ship to address, carrier, lead-time and estimated delivery date for all items required in Attachment 1.

(C) Sub-Factor 3 – Warranty. Submit detailed warranty information addressing the type of warranty, type of coverage and coverage period for all items required in Attachment 1.

(ii) FACTOR II – PAST PERFORMANCE. The Past Performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offeror's recent and relevant Past Performance, focusing on and targeting performance which is relevant to the effort as it directly relates to the services and/or products being procured under this solicitation and as defined in Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

(A) Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 15% of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price.

(B) Relevant Past Performance. The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the services and/or products being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than 3 years for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

1. Submit a short narrative providing details of the experience the firm has (either as a prime or sub-contractor) performing services and/or providing products similar in nature, size, complexity, scope, and geographical conditions. Provide contract number, title, total contract value, period of performance, location, contract role (prime or subcontractor). Offerors may include photos or other information related to experience and capability – including contact information for each project.

(C) In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance submission and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, The Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at https://www.cpars.gov, and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their offers may be used by the Government to evaluate offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offerors. Offers that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk receiving an unacceptable performance rating by the Government. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received. 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. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(D) Submission Requirements. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services and/or products being procured under this solicitation.

The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the services performed and/or products provided previously were the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services and/or products specified by this solicitation.

(iii) FACTOR III – PRICE. Offerors shall complete and submit Attachment 2 – Schedule of Items and Price

Sheet.

(i) FACTOR I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY. The Government will evaluate the degree to which your offer demonstrates capability to provide all the items required in the Product Specifications (Attachment 1);

including the following criteria:

(A) Sub-Factor 1 – Salient Characteristics. To be determined acceptable the offeror shall provide detailed description and characteristics for all the items to be provided ensuring compliance with the specifications in Attachment 1.

Each technical capability sub-factor will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below. To receive an acceptable rating for this factor, all sub-factors must be rated acceptable.

Table A-1. Technically Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(ii) FACTOR II – PAST PERFORMANCE. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. Performance risk is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services and/or products being procured under this solicitation. Past performance areas of evaluation include quality, timeliness, business practices, and customer satisfaction.

(A) Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past 3 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

(B) Relevancy Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is relevant. To be relevant, the effort must be the same or similar in nature, size, magnitude, complexity, and scope to the services and/or products being procured under this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

1. Assigning Ratings. The Past Performance Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below. An award will not be made to any offeror who receives an “Unacceptable” past performance rating.

Table A-2. Relevant Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Solicitation Number: 1240BF25Q0004 Page 5

2. Offerors 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, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(iii) FACTOR III – PRICE. Price is not formally scored but is the primary evaluation factor for determining award. The government expects competitive offers to be submitted for this procurement and will use these competitive offers to determine price reasonableness. If competitive offers are not received, the Government reserves the right to utilize other methods identified in the FAR to determine price reasonableness.

(A) Completeness. Each offeror is required to provide a complete pricing for each contract line identified.

(B) Definitions.

1. Reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.

2. Completeness/Accuracy. The offeror is in compliance with the Schedule of Items and Price Sheet contained/attached within the solicitation (see Attachment 2).
