(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than

5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

The Technical Quote shall fully discuss how the contract requirements will be met and the means used to accomplish them. Merely repeating the contract requirements and stating that they will be accomplished, without discussing how the offeror will accomplish them, is not acceptable.

3.2 Section 2 Past Performance Information

This volume addresses the offerors past performance as it relates to the requirement. The offeror shall submit data for past performance for relevant work completed or substantially performed within the past 36 months.

The offeror shall provide documentation outlining relevant past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. Non-Government contracts may be used if Government contracts are not available. Offeror may provide performance information of predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant. The documentation shall be submitted in the following format:

• Contract Number, Award Date and Contract type,

• Cost/Price – original awarded AND final (or projected final, if contract is active),

• Delivery Schedule – original AND final (or projected final, if the contract is active),

• Name, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address for the following:

▪ Contracting Officer (CO)

▪ Government Technical Representative or COR/COTR

• Identify in specific detail for each contract listed, why or how that effort is considered relevant or similar to the effort required by this solicitation. In determining relevancy, consideration should be given to such things as product/service similarity, size and complexity, contract type, contract environment, division of company proposing, and subcontractor interaction,

• A narrative explanation on each contract listed describing the objectives achieved and any cost growth or schedule delays encountered. For any contracts which did not/do not meet original requirements with regard to cost, schedule, or technical performance, a brief explanation of the reason(s) for such shortcomings and any demonstrated corrective actions taken to avoid recurrence, 12 | P a g e

• Description of any Termination or Termination proceedings for contracts that required work similar to that required by this solicitation. Detail circumstances leading to Termination proceedings and final outcome.

Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their proposals 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 herein remains with the offeror. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this section are at risk for rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. In the case of an offeror without any relevant past performance history, past performance will be evaluated as “neutral.” A neutral rating is neither an advantage nor disadvantage to the Offeror. Offerors with no past performance may provide the equivalent information on company officials and/or personnel proposed for this action.

All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating.

The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received.

If the past performance information is negative and the contractor has not previously had an opportunity to provide a response to the government evaluation, the contractor will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal.

Past Performance will be determined to be relevant if the performance involves work performed within the past three (3) years that is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation.

The Government reserves the right to assess the past performance of proposed subcontractors.

The Government will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation, and the information may be obtained from references provided by the offeror, the agency’s knowledge of contractor performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases.

If an offeror does not have a history of relevant past performance, or indications of unsatisfactory performance in general, the offeror will receive a neutral past performance rating. A neutral rating is an Acceptable rating.

(3) Price

Proposed prices will be evaluated but not scored. The price evaluation will determine whether the proposed prices are complete and reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements and market rates. Proposed prices must be entirely compatible with the technical quote and consistent with the pricing requirements listed in this solicitation.

Proposals will be reviewed for page limitations. Pages exceeding the page limitation will be eliminated from evaluation.

A proposal receiving an “Unsatisfactory” or “Fail” rating in one or more factors may be removed from further consideration for award or continued evaluation.

The Government reserves the right to award without discussions if the Contracting Officer determines that the initial offer is fair and reasonable and that discussions are not necessary.
