(1) FAR 13.106-2(b)(4)(i): After preliminary consideration of all quotations or offers, identify from all quotations or offers received one that is suitable to the user, such as the lowest priced brand name product, and quickly screen all lower priced quotations or offers based on readily discernible value indicators, such as past performance, warranty conditions, maintenance availability, and technical evaluations.

(2) FAR 13.106-2(b)(4)(ii): Where an evaluation is based only on price and past performance, make an award based on whether the lowest priced of the quotations or offers having the highest past performance rating possible represents the best value when compared to any lower priced quotation or offer.

(4) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i) Price: The sum of each CLIN extended price, inclusive of options as applicable, will be evaluated as the total price used for evaluation. Pricing shall contemplate all services necessary to satisfy the Government’s requirements as captured in this combined synopsis/solicitation.

(b) Options. 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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(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.

(End of provision)

(X) The offeror shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Products and Commercial Services, with its offer.

DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR (DOI) LOCAL CLAUSES:

Electronic Invoicing and Payment Requirements - Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) (APR 2013)

Payment requests must be submitted electronically through the U. S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System (IPP). "Payment request" means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment by the Contractor. To constitute a proper invoice, the payment request must comply with the requirements identified in the applicable Prompt Payment clause included in the contract, or the clause 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items included in commercial item contracts. The IPP website address is: https://www.ipp.gov.

Under this contract, the following documents are required to be submitted as an attachment to the IPP invoice.

a. Proper invoice. A complete copy of each invoice, which includes the Contract award number, period of performance, invoice number, Contractor name and address, and all other required documents must be attached in IPP.

b. The Contractor’s request should be submitted to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and to the Contracting Officer concurrently. Each request for progress payments should include the following substantiation:

1. An itemization of the amounts requested, related to the various elements of work required by the contract covered by the payment requested.

Contractor assistance with enrollment can be obtained by contacting the IPP Production Helpdesk via email ippgroup@bos.frb.org or phone (866) 973-3131. If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirements to use IPP for submitting invoices for payment, the Contractor must submit a waiver request in writing to the Contracting Officer with its proposal or quotation.

Notice to Contractors, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (December 2015)

1. FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts.

The Department of the Interior (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 Contracting Officer (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/.

a. Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the 6.evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.
