FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (Jan 2017)

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Technical Past Performance

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

FAR 52.252-1 Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference (FEB 1998) This solicitation incorporates one or more solicitation provisions by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. The offeror is cautioned that the listed provisions may include blocks that must be completed by the offeror and submitted with its quotation or offer. In lieu of submitting the full text of those provisions, the offeror may identify the provision by paragraph identifier and provide the appropriate information with its quotation or offer. Also, the full text of a solicitation provision may be accessed electronically at this/these address(es):

https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=browsefar

SECTION M--EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

A contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. Quotes will be evaluated for acceptability but will not be ranked using the non-cost/price factors. In order to be eligible for award, offerors must receive a rating of “acceptable” in every non-price factor. In the interest of economy and efficiency, the Government will start by evaluating the technical quote of the lowest-priced offeror and will award to that offeror if the technical quote is rated “technically acceptable”. If the lowest offeror receives a rating of “unacceptable” in any of the non-cost factors, the Government will then move on to evaluating the technical quote of the next lowest offeror and so on until a quote is rated “technically acceptable”. Therefore, the technical quote of the non-low price offerors may or may not be evaluated. The following factors will be used to determine technical acceptability:

Factor #1 – Technical Capability Technical Capability Offerors are instructed to provide information on key personnel to be used in the performance of this contract and demonstrate capability to perform janitorial services, including hiring practices, subcontracting, and the offerors plan for quality control.

Factor#2 -Past Performance 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 performance schedules 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. 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.” PRICE: Award will be made to the lowest priced offeror that is evaluated as “acceptable” for all non-price factors.

SITE VISIT: A site visit shall be scheduled with Tina Williams, Phone: (928) 527-3577. Contractors are strongly encouraged to visit the site prior to submitting quotes.

OFFERS ARE DUE BY: August 20, 2018, at 14:00 PM AZT. Please e-mail your quotation to David Watson davidwatson2@fs.fed.us.

Estimated price range is $25,000.00 to $100,000.00.
