52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (NOV 2021) (Deviation Effective Date)

(a) Evaluation factors. 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 will be used to evaluate offers:

The government anticipates a single award to the Contractor whose quote is most responsive to the RFQ and is determined to be the best value to the government. Selection of best value will be achieved through a process of evaluating each quote against the Evaluation Criteria described below. The non-cost criteria (Technical Experience, Past Performance, and Staffing/Key Personnel) are weighted equally, and when combined are more important than the price. In the case where technical capabilities are similar, price may be the deciding factor.

Upon receipt, quotes will be reviewed for completeness and compliance with RFQ instructions.

Determination of complete and accurate quotes that are eligible for award will be achieved through a process of evaluating each quote against the Evaluation Factors described below.

Incomplete submissions may NOT receive further consideration. Technical ratings focus on strengths, uncertainties, and deficiencies in the quote and must be rated at the Factor level with an overall technical factor rating assigned. Price Factor 3 must be rated as reasonable or not reasonable.

The government does not intend,but reserves the right to hold discussions at its discretion..

Evaluation Factors TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTOR 1: Technical Experience The Government will evaluate the relevancy (similarity in size and scope) and recency of each team¿s technical experience as relates to the specified tasks of the PWS in or determine the degree to which it will contribute to the successful completion of requirements. Recent is defined as a project completed or significantly completed within 3 years from the issuance date of this RFQ.

Relevant is defined as involving much of the same magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ requires. Therefore, projects will be considered not relevant if the experience submitted does not involve any of the magnitude of effort and complexities required by this RFQ. Technical experience must be demonstrated for the following:

TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTOR 2: Staffing Plan and Key Personnel Quotes will be evaluated based on the ability to schedule and staff this project as evidenced through submission of a resume of the key personnel positions. Include a description of relevant experience for core team members and other staffing. Include a description of relevant experience and expertise for any Subcontractors. Quotes will be evaluated and preference will be given to firm¿s demonstrating an ability to propose a dedicated and highly experienced Project Manager, in addition to firms who demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed staffing (Project Manager, key personnel, core team members, and other staffing), including the appropriate size, skill levels and experience with the NEPA and Planning process, and experience with the BLM EISs to effectively and efficiently complete the project within the specified timeframe. Contractors must explain their process and effectiveness of internal QA/QC to ensure timely and high-quality deliverables, the ability to meet tight schedules, and the ability to balance workloads to meet tight schedules.

PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION:

The government will evaluate past performance information located in government-wide past performance systems including SAM.gov and CPARS.gov. The resultant review will result in a summary confidence rating that will be used to determine the adequacy of the contractors' skills to perform specified tasks.

EVALUATION FACTOR 3: Price The Government will evaluate price reasonableness for the total quoted Price. The level of effort, the mix of labor proposed, and total quoted amount to perform the effort will be evaluated to determine price reasonableness and support a firm¿s technical expertise.

(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.

(End of provision)
