(a) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. As a minimum, offers shall include—

15BNAS26Q00000083/0001 Page 7 of 10

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The name, address, telephone number of the Offeror;

(3) The Offeror’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator;

(4) Information necessary to evaluate the factors contained in the provision at 52.212-2 or as described in the solicitation;

(5) Responses to provisions that require Offeror completion of information, representations, and certifications (other than those collected via the System for Award Management (SAM)); and

(6) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and any solicitation amendments.

(b) Period for acceptance of offers. The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

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

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) 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. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if 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.

(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s offer.

(2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.

(3) The overall ranking of all Offerors when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award.

(5) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful Offeror.

15BNAS26Q00000083/0001 Page 8 of 10

(6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed Offeror as to whether the agency followed source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities.

52.212-2 (DEV) Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(DEVIATION NOV 2025)

Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2025)

(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:TECHNICAL CAPABILITY, PAST PERFORMANCE, PRICE

[Insert evaluation factors in the relative order of importance. For requests for proposals, state: Evaluation factors other than price when combined are [significantly more important than price/approximately equal to price/significantly less important] than price. For invitations for bids, list only price and price-related factors.]

(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)

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Online Clinical Reference, Education, and Skill Assessment Program for Nurses and APPs

• Purpose and Use This document provides proposed evaluation factors for a negotiated best-value acquisition under FAR Part 15. It is written for insertion into Section M of the solicitation and must be conformed to the final statement of work, Section L proposal instructions, contract type, and source selection plan before release.

• Basis for Award The Government intends to award a contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, considering the evaluation factors stated below. The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced offeror or the offeror with the highest non-price rating when the source selection authority determines that a price/non-price tradeoff is in the Government's best interest.

• The Government will evaluate proposals only against the factors and subfactors stated in the solicitation.

15BNAS26Q00000083/0001 Page 9 of 10

• A proposal that materially fails to meet a mandatory statement-of-work requirement may be rated Unacceptable and may be ineligible for award.

• The Government may consider proposal risks, assumptions, exceptions, or dependencies that could adversely affect performance, schedule, security, accessibility, or price.

• Evaluation Factors and Relative Importance Proposals will be evaluated under the following factors, listed in descending order of importance:

• Factor 1 - Technical Solution

• Factor 2 - Past Performance

• Factor 3 - Price Factor 1 is more important than Factor 2. Factor 2 is more important than Factor 3. When combined, the non-price factors are significantly more important than price. As competing proposals become more equal under the non-price factors, price may become increasingly important.

Factor 1 - Technical Solution The Government will evaluate the extent to which the proposed solution demonstrates a sound, complete, low-risk approach to satisfying the statement of work. Technical subfactors are listed in descending order of importance.

# Clinical Content, Evidence Base, and Competency Capability

• Offeror shall demonstrate breadth, depth, and relevance of clinical reference, skills-training, continuing-education, and competency-assessment content for nursing and advanced practice providers.

• Offeror shall demonstrate that clinical content is evidence-based, peer reviewed, aligned with current national guidelines and accreditation standards, and governed by a defined process for timely review and updates as standards of care change.

• Offeror shall demonstrate quality and usability of step-by-step procedural and skills guidance, including equipment lists, skills checklists, patient instructions, complications, competency tests, and supporting videos, images, or diagrams.

• Offeror shall demonstrate availability and currency of the integrated drug and medication reference.

• Offeror shall have the ability to award or document applicable continuing education unit credit for nursing and APP users, including the offeror's process for maintaining relevant approvals or accreditations.

• Offeror shall demonstrate ability to customize protocols, competency tests, nursing care plans, algorithms, and procedure documents for BOP use while preserving content integrity and version control.

Platform Functionality, Administration, and Reporting

• Offeror shall demonstrate that BOP administrators and institutional management staff may assign courses, manage skills training and competency assessments, track completion and progress, and review test scores using appropriate role-based access.

• Offeror shall demonstrate the ability to compile and export facility-level, agency-wide, and nationwide usage, performance, compliance, competency, documentation-quality, and trend reports.

• Offeror shall provide service available to an unlimited number of simultaneous users without stated limits or degradation in performance.

• Demonstrated controls for configuration, customization, user administration, data integrity, auditability, and retention of training and competency records.

Technical and Network Compatibility

• Offeror must document the proposal meets the required Internet-based subscription model, including no BOP-hosted server installation and no additional equipment requirement.

• Service must be compatible with Windows 11.

• Service may use only web connections through ports 80 or 443 only and support for IPv6 network configuration.

• Offeror must document use of HTTPS connections with at least 128-bit SSL encryption and a clear description of the current security architecture and any dependencies on third-party hosting or services.

• Offeror must document proposed method for icon-based user access which may be coordinated through BOP's information technology organization.

• Offeror must demonstrate availability, capacity, reliability, monitoring, backup, recovery, and continuity measures appropriate for 24-hour clinical access.

# Implementation, Training, Support, and Service Management

• Offeror shall provide an implementation plan, schedule, roles, milestones, configuration activities, testing, acceptance support, and transition to production use.

• Offeror shall demonstrate their ability to provide initial training for administrators and users, including training for administrative super users, tutorials, online manuals, and ongoing learning resources.

• Offeror shall attest to their ability to provide the clinical online reference tool and technical support 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, including paths for service escalation and targets for response.

• Offeror shall provide a plan for outage and interruption notification, including concurrent notification to the COR and facility point of contact in accordance with the SOW.

15BNAS26Q00000083/0001 Page 10 of 10

# Corporate Experience and Security Readiness

• Offeror shall demonstrate at least five years of specific experience providing comprehensive, evidence-based education programs designed to optimize nursing and APP performance.

• Offeror shall provide evidence of availability of personnel, management controls, and contingency resources needed to implement and sustain the service.

• Offeror shall demonstrate understanding of, and ability for timely compliance with the personnel security, background-check, clearance, access, confidentiality, and replacement-personnel requirements applicable to contractor staff.

Evaluation distinction: Corporate experience addresses the offeror's relevant history and capability to perform this type of work. Past performance, evaluated under Factor 2, addresses the quality of the offeror's performance on prior or current work.

Technical Evaluation Method Evaluators will consider strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, deficiencies, and performance risk. The Government will assign an overall technical rating based on the proposal as a whole; the rating need not be a mathematical average of subfactor assessments.

Rating Definition Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements, contains multiple strengths, and presents a very low risk of unsuccessful performance.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements, contains at least one strength, and presents a low risk of unsuccessful performance.

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding, with no deficiencies, and presents a moderate or lower risk of unsuccessful performance.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach or understanding and/or presents a high risk of unsuccessful performance; it may be correctable through discussions.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements, contains one or more deficiencies, and is unawardable unless the proposal is materially revised.
