Location of Services:

Items shall be shipped to the following address:

See Attachment 1 Statement of Work.

Inspection and Acceptance:

Government inspections are for the purpose of satisfying the Government that the services are acceptable and do not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for maintaining quality control. Visual inspections will be made on a periodic basis by the Contracting Officer's Representative or designated inspectors. Such inspections do not constitute acceptance by the Government.

Specific Inspection Procedures:

The Contractor’s performance will be evaluated based upon the Required Results for each task listed in the tables in C6. Methods and documentation may include written inspections or COR daily diaries with accompanying photos when deemed necessary, customer surveys, and/or records of customer complaints such as emails.

Determination of Acceptability and Payment Deductions Work on this contract will be deemed acceptable when the Government’s visual inspections show acceptable performance.

Payment will be made for fully acceptable work at the prices bid in the schedule of items. Payment will be made monthly upon receipt of a proper invoice in the IPP system (see Section G.3-1).

Performance Thresholds for Acceptability of Work All services are performed to Required Results performance measures outlined in the tables in Section C, and no more than five customer complaints are received and substantiated by the COR per month.

Major deficiencies, such as tasks not done at all, more than 30% of tasks are of unacceptable quality, or repeat occurrences (3 or more times) of the same issues, will trigger the deduction schedule as if the customer complaint threshold had been reached.

Customer complaints will be substantiated by the COR for validity. Should the COR determine that the complaint is valid, the COR will inform the Contractor and give the Contractor reasonable time to correct the defect, if it is possible to do so without disrupting government operations at the affected site. The COR will determine how much time is reasonable based on the individual situation.

Should the Contractor disagree with the complaint after investigation of the site, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will review the matter with the COR to re-examine the validity of the complaint.

Deduction Schedule Should the threshold of valid customer complaints exceed the acceptable threshold per month, or if the Contractor does not correct the deficient work on time, a deduction of five (5) percent may be made from the applicable monthly invoice. Multiple instances of below standard work may be further deducted going up in five (5) percent increments, maxing in an amount of fifteen (15) percent per month.

Work Timing:

The Contractor shall begin work within Five (5) calendar days after the effective date of the Notice to Proceed. Failure to begin work on schedule will make the contract subject to immediate termination for cause. If this solicitation has more than one numbered item, award of more than one item to one contractor will not change the start-work dates or the amount of contract time; times will run concurrently.

Pre-Work Conference:

Pre-work conference. Before work begins on service contracts, a pre-work conference will be required to discuss the contract – especially the specifications, labor provisions, plan of work, and selected standard clauses. The pre-work meeting must be attended by an officer of the firm, or someone designated in writing to act on behalf of the firm. The pre-work meeting may be waived at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Payment:

Payments and Deductions. Payment will be made for fully acceptable work at the prices bid in the schedule of items. In accordance with the inspection clause, payment may be made for less than fully acceptable work at a reduced price (see Section E for deduction thresholds).

Contract Release. Before final payment will be made the Contractor shall sign a release of all claims against the Government arising by virtue of this contract, other than claims, in stated amounts, that the Contractor has specifically excepted from the operation of the release.

A Contract Release FS-6300-0016 must be submitted with request/invoice for final payment in IPP, before final payment will be approved.

A release may also be required of the assignee if the Contractor's claim to amounts payable under this contract has been assigned under the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 (31 U.S.C. 3727 and 41 U.S.C. 15).

It is anticipated that a Firm-Fixed Price Delivery Order consisting of (1) base year period and four (4) one year option periods will be awarded as a result of this request for quotation. The total duration of this order shall not exceed five (5) years.

Basis on which Selection will be made:

Award Method: Lowst Price, Technically Acceptable

Quotations will be evaluated based on the criteria listed below. Award will be made to the quoter that represents the best value to the Government based on the following criteria:

Evaluation-Commercial Items Award will be made to the offeror representing the best value to the Government.

Price:

Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. The offeror shall provide pricing as requested in the attached spreadsheet titled Schedule of Items. Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. Total price evaluation will be for the base period, all option periods and in accordance with FAR 52.217-8, up to a six-month extension period. Failure to propose pricing for the base period and all option periods on individual line items may result in a quotation being excluded from further consideration.

For purposes of evaluation, the potential need to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8 to extend a period of performance for a maximum period of six (6) months beyond any period of performance will be considered the same for all offerors. The Government will consider that if the extension of service clause (FAR 52.217-8) is exercised, it will be on the exact same rates and terms, other than length of performance, as the period of performance being extended. For purposes of evaluation only, the Government will use the rates specified in the last option period and add the cost of six months to the prices proposed for the base period and all option periods to determine total evaluated price of the contract. The Government will determine whether the price, including the options available under FAR 52.217-8, is fair and reasonable.

Technical Acceptability:

Technical Acceptability will be evaluated to receive an overall rating of "acceptable" or "unacceptable." This will be based on the offeror's ability to provide a sound and compliant approach that meets all requirements and shows a thorough understanding of them. It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure their quotation clearly demonstrates their capability to meet these requirements. All offerors must provide the following minimum information and documentation with their quotations to be considered responsive and have their offers evaluated:

Detailed explanation of the offeror’s ability to perform the required services. A simple statement of capabilities will not suffice. The offeror must address how they will accomplish the requirements the Statement of Work (SOW) by addressing the requirements of the Statement of Work. This is a performance-based contract that expresses the Government’s requirements in the form of minimum quality standards to be met. The Contractor must determine the optimal work schedule, resource allocations, and performance methods to achieve a work product that meets the standards set forth in the SOW. Include also, your proof of Workman’s Compensation Insurance.

· Detailed explanation of any requirement listed in the SOW that cannot be successfully accomplished by the offeror. Offerors are advised that the USDA intends to award without discussions so any exceptions may cause the quotation to be found technically unacceptable.

· Provide resumes for proposed key personnel. The Project Manager is the only key personnel for the services being performed. The key personnel resume shall, at a minimum, demonstrate that the individual meets the educational and experience qualifications specified in the SOW. For all personnel proposed to be hired and/or permanently relocated, include a signed contingent letter by that person indicating willingness to be hired/relocated if the contract is awarded to the offeror.

· If the offeror is unable to obtain contingent letters from key personnel, the offeror shall submit a written statement to this effect and detail their efforts to obtain contingent letters. In lieu of contingent letters, the offeror can submit a staffing plan, which shall include proof of the Contractor’s demonstrated ability to handle personnel issues, hire and maintain a highly qualified staff to fill immediate requirements, and provide staff with all the necessary support and oversight. The staffing plan shall also include a recruitment and selection process for all staff under this project.

Past Performance:

The Government may utilize any references provided by the Contractor, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USDA and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine if the Contractor has acceptable or neutral Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated using the following rating system:

· Acceptable: The contractor shows a demonstrated ability to meet contract requirements in prior or current contracts, including quality of work, timeliness, cost control, business relations, and adherence to contract terms.

· Neutral: Offeror does not have a past performance record.

· Unacceptable: The contractor has a documented history of failing to meet contract requirements, including poor quality, missed deadlines, cost overruns, lack of responsiveness, or unethical behavior.

Evaluation Method The Government will evaluate quotations based on the lowest price technically acceptable criteria. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical or past performance rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer until the lowest price, technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance is identified.

The Government will not accept quoted prices that are higher than the offeror’s current price published in the General Services Administration Schedule.
