About this file
This is an evaluation criteria document for a commercial items solicitation (1240BH26Q0011) issued by the USDA.
The Government will evaluate quotations using a lowest price technically acceptable approach, whereby only the lowest priced offer is initially evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance. The evaluation process continues sequentially through offers in order of ascending price until a technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance is identified. Price quotations will be assessed for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 12.204. Technical Acceptability is rated as either "acceptable" or "unacceptable" based on the offeror's ability to demonstrate a sound, compliant approach meeting all requirements with a thorough understanding of them. All quoters must submit: (1) a narrative detailing firm experience as prime or subcontractor performing similar work, including years of experience, personnel skills and licensing, and equivalent subcontractor information if applicable; and (2) a list of relevant prior work performed within the past six years with project owner contact information to permit government reference checks, including project name, location, work description, dollar value, and owner representative contact details. An optional Past Performance Form (Attachment 7) is available for use.
Past Performance will be rated as "Acceptable" if the contractor demonstrates a demonstrated ability to meet contract requirements in prior or current contracts regarding quality, timeliness, cost control, business relations, and contract adherence; "Neutral" if the offeror lacks a past performance record; or "Unacceptable" if the contractor has documented history of failing to meet contract requirements including poor quality, missed deadlines, cost overruns, lack of responsiveness, or unethical behavior. The Government may supplement contractor-provided references with information from past USDA contracts/orders and the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).
