(xviiii) 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021)

(a) 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/subfactor. Per, FAR 52.217-5 Evaluation of

Options (JUL 1990), Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the

Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The following factors and sub-factors will be used to determine technical acceptability. Offeror shall provide the information necessary, including for any subcontractors, to evaluate the following factors and subfactors:

Factor #1 – Technical Capability of Offeror. In order to receive a rating of “acceptable”, quoter must at a minimum, demonstrate adequate experience and technical capability of the services quoted to meet or exceed the technical specifications. Specifically, the Government will evaluate for the following and each category must receive a rating of acceptable in order to receive an overall rating of acceptable in this factor:

Subfactor #1.1 – Subfactor #1 - Ability of Service to Meet Required Specifications – In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, quote must at a a minimum, demonstrate adequate technical capability of the service quoted to meet or exceed the service specifications.

Subfactor #1.2 – Ability to Meet Performance Schedule – In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, quoter shall provide an indication that they are able to respond to the fuel call out within 24 hours of notification by the Contracting Officer’s Representative.

Subfactor #1.3 Biobased Products – In order to receive a rating of acceptable, quoter must identify the biobased products to be used to perform these services, or indicate their inapplicability.

Factor #2 -Past Performance – In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this factor, quoter must, have a recent past performance rating for of acceptable/satisfactory or higher for same or similar services. The quoter must provide at a minimum three references for past performance, including any proposed subcontractor.

References should include contact name, phone number and email, and a description of the services provided.

The past performance should indicate successes of the contractor in completing/meeting performance requirements and customer satisfaction as well as address any problems.

Subfactor #2.1- Recency of present/past performance in relation to this effort – The Government considers “recent” present/past performance to be within the past 3 years.

Subfactor #2.2- Relevancy of present/past performance in relation to this effort - The Government considers “relevant” present/past performance to be present/past performance effort involved in similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this combined synopsis requires. The response should reflect

• Prior Experience of Employees and Previous projects of a similar scope and magnitude (See Exhibit #1)

The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the quoter. 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. 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 a quoter 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 quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

Factor #3 PRICE: Award will be made to the lowest priced quoter that is evaluated as “acceptable” for all non-price factors.
