52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern that submits an offer, other than on a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce is 500 employees if the acquisition--

(1) Is set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the offeror waives the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(b) 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. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) 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) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) 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.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) 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 from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be 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.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained for a fee by submitting a request to--GSA Federal Supply Service Specifications Section, Suite 8100, 470 East L'Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington, DC 20407, Telephone (202) 619-8925, Facsimile (202) 619-8978.

(4) Nongovernment (voluntary) standards must be obtained from the organization responsible for their preparation, publication, or maintenance.

(j) Unique entity identifier. (Applies to all offers that exceed the micro-purchase threshold, and offers at or below the micro-purchase threshold if the solicitation requires the Contractor to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).) The Offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "Unique Entity Identifier" followed by the unique entity identifier that identifies the Offeror's name and address. The Offeror also shall enter its Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator, if applicable. The EFT indicator is a four-character suffix to the unique entity identifier. The suffix is assigned at the discretion of the Offeror to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative EFT accounts (see FAR subpart 32.11) for the same entity. If the Offeror does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

(k) Reserved.

(l) Debriefing. If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall 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 and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

III. QUOTE CONTENT:

Non-Price Factor 1 – Technical Staffing Approach: The quoter’s staffing approach shall demonstrate the quoter’s understanding of and capability to successfully accomplish the staffing requirements of the PWS Section One and Two. Submissions shall include a detailed description of the experience and professional qualification(s)/background(s) of those individuals to be dedicated to this contract effort, as well as the quoter’s approach to ensuring its personnel maintain current qualifications. The quoter shall demonstrate a recruitment plan to limit turnover during the life of the contract. The submission shall describe risks associated with its staffing approach and any risks associated with implementation of its approach to staffing describing any techniques and actions to mitigate such risks.

Non-Price Factor 2 – Past Performance: This section shall address the past performance factor and include all information required for proposal evaluation. This section shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the quote.

The vendor shall demonstrate recent and relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no recent and relevant past performance. Recent past performance is performance that has taken place within the past five years. Relevant past performance is performance under purchase orders or efforts within the stated period that is the same as or similar to, the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation. In addition, performance data will only be assessed for those references demonstrating at least one year of completed performance prior to the closing date of this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the vendor shall identify up to three of its most relevant purchase orders or efforts within the past five years and provide any other information the vendor considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Vendors should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the purchase orders or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation.

For purposes of this solicitation, a purchase order is defined as a single purchase order or a single task order placed under an ID/IQ purchase order, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply Schedule. Vendors shall not submit the IDIQ purchase order, FSS purchase order, or BPA itself as a reference. Vendors may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs), task orders (TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance.

Such a combination must also meet the requirements stated above: each individual example in the combination must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date and demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. If a combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs are used as a past performance example, the quoter shall state the specific experience claimed, period of performance, and dollar value of each. A Past Performance example that does not provide the level of detail required may not be evaluated. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal. One (1) year of completed performance is defined as twelve (12) consecutive months of performance.

References with less than twelve (12) consecutive months of service will not be considered.

The references will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow quoters who may not have the entire scope and magnitude of the requirement under one individual purchase order or order to still be evaluated for quality if past performance with the full scope and magnitude of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of references as described above.

If proposed subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three purchase orders or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation’s requirement must be stated. The vendors quote shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A reference that does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform will not be evaluated.

If the prime vendor or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/subcontractor/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall purchase order effort and the subcontractor effort will not be evaluated.

Subcontractor performance (either the quoter’s own subcontractor experience or proposed subcontractor’s experience) of major or critical aspects of this requirement will be considered as highly as prime contractor past performance information for the quoter.

If any of the referenced contracts were performed by an affiliate of the vendor, clearly explain the relationship between the vendor and the affiliate. Describe any resources shared by the vendor and its affiliate.

The vendor shall complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. For additional information regarding a particular reference beyond that which will fit on the form, the vendor may continue onto another sheet of paper. The forms and any continuation sheet(s) for submitted references cannot exceed twelve pages.

In addition to the information requested above, vendors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the attached “Past Performance Report Form” and e-mail the completed survey form directly to Cody Ellis at cody.c.ellis.civ@us.navy.mil and Antonio Smith at antonio.o.smith2.civ@us.navy.mil by the CLOSING DATE AND TIME OF THIS SOLICITATION.

The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation, to contact references for verification or additional information, to contact references other than those provided by the quoter, and to obtain information from other data sources.

Factor 3 – Price Proposal

This volume shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price breakdown with all supporting documentation. The pricing information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

(a) SF1449 Section “Schedule of Supplies/Services” completed by the vendor.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

Addendum to FAR provision 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Items

The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order as a result of this solicitation in accordance with FAR Part 12 “Acquisition of Commercial Items” in conjunction with FAR Subpart 13.5 “Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items”. Award will be made to the vendor whose quote is most advantageous to the Government under the selection criteria set forth in this solicitation.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a purchase order based on initial quotes. Therefore, the quoter's initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms from a Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to award a FFP purchase order to other than the lowest priced quoter;

award a FFP purchase order without exchanges; or award a FFP purchase order after exchanges, whichever is in the best interest of the Government.

Nothing in this provision limits the Contracting Officer’s discretion to rely on information available from other sources (e.g., past performance databases, discussions with other entities familiar with the quoter) or to use any other technique described FAR 9.1 when determining whether the quoter satisfies the FAR 9.104-1 general responsibility standards.

The evaluation of quotes will consider the Non-Price Quote to be significantly more important than the Price Quote. Within the Non-Price Quote evaluation the Government will consider Factor I – Technical Staffing Approach to be approximately equal to Factor II – Past Performance.

Initially, the quotes will be ranked according to price, inclusive of all option pricing. A vendor’s proposed price will be determined by adding all extended amounts for the CLINs/SLINs in section B. If the lowest priced vendor is evaluated to have a Factor I – Technical Approach combined Technical/Risk rating of “Outstanding” and an overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating of “Substantial Confidence” that quote represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that vendor without further consideration of any other quotes. However, if the lowest priced quote is not evaluated to have an “Outstanding” Technical Approach Combined Technical/Risk rating and a “Substantial Confidence” Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated. The evaluation process will continue (in order of price from lowest to highest) until a quote is evaluated to have an “Outstanding” Technical factor, AND a “Substantial Confidence” Past Performance Confidence Assessment. The Government shall then make an integrated best-value award decision between that quote rated with an “Outstanding” Technical factor, AND a “Substantial Confidence” Past Performance Confidence Assessment and all lower priced awardable quotes.

If no quotes are rated with an “Outstanding” Technical factor, AND a “Substantial Confidence” Past Performance Confidence Assessment, the Contracting Officer shall make an integrated assessment best-value award decision from among quoters rated “Acceptable” for Technical and “Unknown Confidence” Past Performance or better.

The Government reserves the right to award a purchase order to other than the lowest priced quoter.

Non-Price Factor 1 – Technical Staffing Approach:

The vendors staffing approach will be evaluated on its feasibility, its comprehensiveness, and the degree to which the quoter demonstrates its understanding of and capability to successfully accomplish the staffing requirements of the solicitation. The approach will be evaluated on its ability to clearly and thoroughly detail the experience and professional qualification(s)/background(s) of those individuals to be dedicated to this contract effort, as well as its approach to ensuring its personnel maintain current qualifications. The approach will be evaluated on its ability to provide the personnel with all qualifications described in the PWS, its demonstration of a recruitment plan to limit turnover during the life of the contract, and it mitigation plan for risks associated with its staffing approach to include its approach to staffing describing any techniques and actions to mitigate such risks.

Factor I will be evaluated using the Combined Technical/Risk Ratings table below.

The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings.

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings Table

Technical Rating Description

Outstanding Quoter indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Quoter indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Quoter meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Quoter has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Quoter does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Quote is un-awardable.

NOTE: A rating of “Marginal” for Factor I, means that the quote is not awardable without a change or changes to the quote. A quote which includes a “Marginal” rating is not eligible for award if award is made on initial quotes.
