Post Award Evaluation of Contractor Performance Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (Dec 2015)

(1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. DOI has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

(2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS.

CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

(3) We request that you furnish the CO with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO).

Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

(4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

(5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

(i) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

(ii) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

(iii)All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

(iv) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

(v)Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

(vi) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

(6) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

(i) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/current/far/html/Subpart%2042_15.html https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/current/far/html/Subpart%2042_15.html https://www.cpars.gov/ https://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/ https://www.cpars.gov/

(ii) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

(iii) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

(7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

(8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

552), the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

https://www.acquisition.gov/browse/index/far

(1) “Trade Secret” means an unpatented, secret, commercially valuable plan, appliance, formula, or process, which is used for making, preparing, compounding, treating or processing articles or materials which are trade commodities.

(2) “Confidential commercial or financial information” means any business information (other than trade secrets) which is exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirement of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Exemptions from mandatory disclosure which may be applicable to business information contained in proposals include exemption (4), which covers “commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential,” and exemption (9), which covers “geological and geophysical information, including maps, concerning wells.”

(b) If the offeror, or its subcontractor(s), believes that the proposal contains trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552), the cover page of each copy of the proposal shall be marked with the following legend:

“The information specifically identified on pages ______ of this proposal constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract.”

(c) The offeror shall also specifically identify trade secret information and confidential commercial and financial information on the pages of the proposal on which it appears and shall mark each such page with the following legend:

“This page contains trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and which is subject to the legend contained on the cover page of this proposal.”

(d) Information in a proposal identified by an offeror as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information shall be used by the Government only for the purpose of evaluating the proposal, except that

(i) if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information as provided in the contract, and (ii) if the same information is obtained from another source without restriction it may be used without restriction.

(e) If a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeks access to information in a proposal identified as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information, full consideration will be given to the offeror's view that the information constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information. The offeror will also be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide additional evidence and argument in support of its position, unless administratively unfeasible to do so. If it is determined that information claimed by the offeror to be trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, the offeror will be notified of this determination prior to disclosure of the information.

(f) The Government assumes no liability for the disclosure or use of information contained in a proposal if not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision. If a request under the Freedom of Information Act is made for information in a proposal not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision, the offeror concerned shall be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide its position to the Government. However, failure of an offeror to mark information contained in a proposal as trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information will be treated by the Government as evidence that the information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, absent a showing that the failure to mark was due to unusual or extenuating circumstances, such as a showing that the offeror had intended to mark, but that markings were omitted from the offeror's proposal due to clerical error.

The techniques described under FAR 12.209 will be the primary means of conducting price analysis to determine price reasonableness. For purposes of evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by evaluating half of the Offerors’ Option 4 pricing and determining it fair and reasonable. Offerors are not required to enter rates for the six-month period.

If the Quoter fails to detail any assumptions or conditions, the Government will assume there are none.

The Government reserves the right to award based on initial submissions without exchanges or discussions, but reserves the right to request additional information, such as revisions to correct minor clerical errors. The Offeror should recognize that its initial written price and non-price quotes may be used as the sole and final basis of award and should quote accordingly.

Prior to award, the CO will review information available for the prospective awardee in order to perform a responsibility determination as required by FAR 9.104.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND

COMMERCIAL SERVICES (Nov 2021)

Replace paragraph (a) with the following:

(a) Basis for Award

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer is technically acceptable and provides the lowest evaluated price. Technical acceptability will be determined based on the offeror’s ability to meet the requirements of the solicitation, including all stated terms, conditions, specifications, and delivery requirements. Quotes that fail to meet any minimum technical requirement, do not demonstrate a clear understanding of the PWS, or simply restate PWS language without substantive detail will be rated “Unacceptable” and will not be considered for award.

Evaluation Factors:

1. Technical Acceptability – The offeror must demonstrate that the quoted response meets all minimum requirements outlined in the solicitation and the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Commercial Cafeteria and Executive Kitchen Equipment Maintenance Services at the Stewart Lee Udall Building. This includes:

Understanding of the PWS: Technical quotes must clearly demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the PWS, including the scope of work, service frequencies, reporting requirements, area-specific management (Bison Bistro/main cafeteria and 5100 executive kitchen), and all exclusions and boundaries. Offerors must describe their approach to preventive maintenance, emergency response, readiness checks, and compliance with all applicable standards (e.g., OSHA, NFPA 96, NEC, District of Columbia Department of Health, GSA PBS Core Building Standards, manufacturer requirements), and security requirements. Technical quotes must include demonstrated ability to meet PWS Section 13 Contractor Qualifications.

2. Price – Price will be evaluated for reasonableness. Among technically acceptable offers, award will be made to the offeror with the lowest total evaluated price.

No trade-offs will be made between price and non-price factors. Offers exceeding the Government’s stated requirements will not receive additional consideration.
