TYPE OF CONTRACT

NIST intends to award a single, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract due to this RFQ. The proposed commercial contract will include a base period/year and four option periods/years, which will be exercised at the Government's sole discretion.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The anticipated period of performance includes a base period/year and four option periods/years. See Commercial Acquisition Regulation (CAR) clause 1352.270-70, Period of Performance for actual dates.

BASIS OF AWARD

The award will be made to the vendor whose submission represents the best value to the Government.

The Government may award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or the highest technically rated Offeror utilizing trade-offs. Pricing will be evaluated separately from technical factors and used as a trade-off. The importance of price in the evaluation will increase with the degree of equality among quotations of the non-price factors. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Technical Approach, Experience, Past Performance, and Price

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The quotation will be evaluated under evaluation factors: Technical Approach, Experience, Past Performance, and Price. In determining the best value using trade-off, Technical Approach, Experience, Past Performance, and Price are listed in order of importance. All factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more than price.

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and make an award based on the initial quotations received. Therefore, the quoter's initial quotation should contain the quoter's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotations from, or negotiate final purchase order terms with, one or more, but not all, quoters if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

FACTOR A - TECHNICAL APPROACH:

1. The TECHNICAL APPROACH is defined as the vendor's demonstration of the understanding and capability to provide the required items and services as identified in the PWS.

this includes the required delivery schedule, installation, warranty, and all other requirements.

2. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

(a) Provide a plan of approach (use diagrams, tables, etc., when appropriate) describing the Offeror’s approach to accomplishing the requirements and achieve standards as prescribed in the PWS. The plan of approach shall not be more than 30 total pages in length (Standard 8.5” x 11”, size 11 font).

At a minimum, the technical approach shall specifically address the Offeror’s proposed approach to:

(1) Provide a plan on how the work can be performed in a manner that is compatible with an ISO class 5 cleanroom.

(2) Provides a safety plan on how they are going to perform the tasks safely.

PAGE 5 OF 296 1333ND21QNB680380

(3) Provides a staffing and training plan that demonstrates that they have the staff to complete the work and back-ups with continuous service.

3. BASIS OF EVALUATION

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's plan of approach to determine the extent of its understanding of the requirements and the proposed approach's ability to meet PWS requirements successfully.

FACTOR B - EXPERIENCE

1. The EXPERIENCE is defined as the vendor's experience in terms of relevancy (similarity in scope, size, and complexity) as a means the capability of the vendor to meet the requirements of the request for quotation successfully.

2. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

(a) Provides documentation that shows they have provided similar cleaning and laboratory services required in the PWS and has experience working in and familiar with an ISO class 5 cleanroom requirements.

(b) The vendor shall provide the following information up to a maximum of three relevant projects (services) to that of the requirement in the RFQ.

PAGE 6 OF 296 1333ND21QNB680380

COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION 1333ND21QNB680380 BMF CLEANROOM LABORATORY SUPPORT SERVICES 4 of 8 contract, the Offeror shall submit the CPARS as a part of the quotation. For Joint Venture (JV), Partnerships, or other teaming type arrangements, the Offeror shall submit a maximum of three past performance submittals for each JV / partner / entity member. A JV / Partnership / Teaming arrangement is the only case where the maximum number of submittals may exceed five in total for the Offeror.

(b) A recent project is defined as work performed within five years of the date of the issuance of the RFQ. A relevant project is defined as a project of similar scope, size, and complexity as that of the solicitation SOW.

(c) The PPQ attachment included in the solicitation is provided for the Offeror to submit to current or previous clients to submit past performance information. In addition, the client may submit the completed PPQ directly to the Offeror for the Offeror to submit as part of the quotation.

The Government point of contact (POC) is the Contracting Officer, MeeLondrell Lumpkin, (303) 497-5270, meelondrell.lumpkin@nist.gov. For the PPQ to be considered as a part of the evaluation factor, the Government POCs must receive the PPQ no later than the quotation due date. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure that clients submit the PPQs in a timely manner to the Government POCs.

The Government reserves the right to consider or not consider any PPQ submitted by the client after the quotation due date.

(e) In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS.gov) using CAGE/DUNS numbers of the prime Contractor including team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company / subsidiary / affiliate) identified in the Offeror’s quotation; inquires of client/owner representative(s), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror. The Government may review the past performance of a Joint Venture (JV) member that will perform under the contract irrespective of whether the past performance is from contract performance while a member of another JV, as a sub-contractor, any other teaming relationship, or in an individual corporate capacity. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate, and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

(f) Failure to provide a POC that is accessible or failure to provide a correct, current phone number, fax number, and email address on a PPQ may result in a lower rating for this factor or lack of consideration of the PPQ.

(a) Evaluation of this factor is a subjective assessment of an Offeror’s Past Performance on recent and relevant contracts. Project recency and relevance will be considered in the evaluation of each project and in the overall factor assessment. Government reserves the right to consider or not consider any PPQ submitted by the client after the quotation due date. The Government will not consider any submittals above the maximum number allowable for an Offeror.

(b) The evaluation of past performance may include, but not be limited to, the areas of Contractor’s quality control and quality of work, schedule / timeliness of performance, management, utilization of small business (if appropriate), compliance with government laws, regulations, and procedures

(c) The evaluation may also consider past performance information regarding predecessor companies and have relevant experience when such information is relevant to this procurement.

(d) The Government will review a maximum of five past performance submittals for non-JV/Partner Offerors. For JVs/Partnerships, the Government will review up to a maximum of three past performance submittals for each partner/JV member. In addition to the maximum submittals, the Government may review additional sources of past performance information, including but not limited to CPARS data.

(e) The Offeror shall be given an opportunity to clarify certain aspects of its quotation (e.g., adverse past performance information) to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond or resolve minor or clerical errors.

(f) All past performance submittals which combine contracts (to increase the value) or are above the maximum number of contracts allowable will not be considered or evaluated by the Government.

Accordingly, no credit will be given for any such contracts.

(g) Offerors that submit past performance information on contracts performed by key personnel, a subsidiary, satellite office, or parent company, must explain how this office/person will participate in the performance of the RFQ project requirement. If it is not clear how this office/person will participate in the contract, the project will not be considered as a part of the quotation evaluation.

(h) Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive a Neutral rating.

FACTOR 4 - PRICE:

1. The PRICE is defined as the vendor’s proposed total price for the sum of all line items to fulfill the contract requirements successfully.

2. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

(a) A list of line item number(s) and items, quantities, and units of measure (including option(s) and pricing for each CLIN (The Schedule); solicitation pages 11 through 13.

Section K - Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors and return the section, in its entirety, as part of the price quotation volume. Offerors shall pay particular attention to the instructions in provision K.5, 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items. Section K Representations, Certification and Other Statements of Offerors will not be rated as a part of the Price Factor; however, the information will be considered in assessing Offeror’s responsibility and completeness of the quotation submittal requirements.

(d) The Government may request additional information such as the Offeror’s Latest Financial

Statement for use in a responsibility determination.

PAGE 8 OF 296 1333ND21QNB680380

COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION 1333ND21QNB680380 BMF CLEANROOM LABORATORY SUPPORT SERVICES 6 of 8

Evaluation of this factor is a subjective evaluation of the vendor's demonstrated resources, capability, and methods to meet all requirements. Each price quotation will be evaluated to determine the reasonableness of the Offeror's quotations for overall price based on CLINs X000 through 400X. The price quotation will be evaluated but not given an adjectival rating. A price realism analysis will not be conducted. The price(s) quoted in response to the solicitation will be evaluated through price analysis. The Offeror’s price quotation shall also identify any requested payment schedule terms. One or more of the following techniques will be used to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

(a) Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation.

(b) Comparison of proposed prices with the IGCE.

(c) Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

(d) A price/cost that is found to be either unreasonably high or unrealistically low in relation to the proposed work may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in the overall quotation being considered unacceptable.

(e) Whether real or apparent, any inconsistency between proposed performance and price / cost must be clearly explained in the price quotation. For example, if unique and innovative approaches are the basis for an apparently unbalanced/inconsistently priced quotation, the nature of these approaches and their impact on price must be thoroughly documented.

(2) An identifier assigned by a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas that the DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch records and maintains in the CAGE master file.

(b) The Offeror shall provide its CAGE code with its offer with its name and location address or otherwise include it prominently in its proposal. The CAGE code must be for that name and location address. Insert the word "CAGE" before the number. The CAGE code is required prior to award.

(c) CAGE codes may be obtained via--

(1) Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. If the Offeror is located in the United States or its outlying areas and does not already have a CAGE code assigned, the DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch will assign a CAGE code as a part of the SAM registration process. SAM registrants located outside the United States and its outlying areas shall obtain a NCAGE code prior to registration in SAM (see paragraph (c)(3) of this provision).

(2) The DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch. If registration in SAM is not required for the subject procurement, and the Offeror does not otherwise register in SAM, an offeror located in the United States or its outlying areas may request that a CAGE code be assigned by submitting a request at https://cage.dla.mil.

(3) The appropriate country codification bureau. Entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas may obtain an CAGE code by contacting the Codification Bureau in the foreign entity's country if that country is a member of NATO or a sponsored nation. NCAGE codes may be obtained from the NSPA at https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx if the foreign entity's country is not a member of NATO or a sponsored nation. Points of contact for codification bureaus, as well as additional information on obtaining NCAGE codes, are available at http://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/links/contacts.htm.

(d) Additional guidance for establishing and maintaining CAGE codes is available at https:// cage.dla.mil.

(f) Do not delay submission of the offer pending receipt of a CAGE code.

(g) If the solicitation includes FAR clause 52.204-2, Security Requirements, a subcontractor requiring access to classified information under a contract shall be identified with a CAGE code on the DD Form 254. The Contractor shall require a subcontractor requiring access to classified information to provide its CAGE code with its name and location address or otherwise include it prominently in the proposal. Each location of subcontractor performance listed on the DD Form 254 is required to reflect a corresponding unique CAGE code for each listed location unless the work is being performed at a Government facility, in which case the agency location code shall be used. The CAGE code must be for that name and location address. Insert the word ''CAGE'' before the number. The CAGE code is required prior to award.
