EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

A Blanket Purchase Agreement will be made to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government using the evaluation factors listed in the solicitation (best value trade off method).

The offeror shall provide sufficient information in the quotation for the Government to determine its level of confidence/risks in the ability of the quoter to perform the requirements in the SOW based on an assessment of its Technical Approach, Past Performance, Program Management Experience and Price

Table 1: The Government will evaluate Factors 1 and 3 using confidence ratings (Table 1). The Government will identify risks and benefits in each offer, and assign a rating using the following ratings and definitions:

High Confidence The Government has high confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no Government intervention.

Some Confidence The Government has some confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with some Government intervention.

Low Confidence The Government has low confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract even with Government intervention.

Table 2: The Government will evaluate Factor 2 using performance risks. The Government will identify risks in each offer, and assign a rating using the following ratings and definitions:

Risk Definitions

Low Based on the offeror's past performance and systemic improvement record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Moderate Based on the offeror's past performance and systemic improvement record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

High Based on the offeror's past performance and systemic improvement record, substantial doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown No past performance record identifiable. (Not applicable to Experience Factor.)

a. Technical Approach: The USSS will evaluate the technical approach factor by assessing the offeror’s technical approach summary. A confidence rating will be assigned based on the content of Volume I that demonstrates the Government’s confidence in the quoter’s proposed approach to successfully perform the services outlined in the SOW. The Government will assess whether the offeror’s technical approach convincingly shows it can supply all specified task for glazier services. A critical focus will be on the vendor’s ability to meet the requirements outlined in the SOW, including sourcing, delivery, installation, maintenance, and removal of glaziers.

b. Past Performance: The USSS will evaluate past performance based on recency and relevancy. Recency is defined as current or previous work within the last five (5) years of the solicitation issue date. Relevancy is defined as work similar in scope, size, and complexity to the SOW requirement. Performance that is bigger in scope, size and complexity will be considered more relevant than work that is smaller in scope, size, and complexity. The Government is seeking assurances of consistently successful performance in the areas of quality, schedule, and management. A performance risk (or neutral) rating will be assigned based on the content of Volume II, along with reference checks. Please use the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 6).

In the event that a quoter does not have recent and relevant organizational past performance, it will receive a neutral rating instead of a performance risk rating. A neutral rating does not give an advantage or disadvantage to the quoter; however, the Government may, in a technical/price tradeoff, determine that a lower performance risk rating is worth more than a Neutral past performance rating. In the event that the Government does not find the quoter-provided past performance to be recent and relevant, the quoter will receive a neutral rating for this factor instead of a performance risk rating.

The Contracting Officer may gather information from quoter-provided references, commercial and federal sources, including CPARS and SAM. Additional outreach, such as reviews of articles and publications, may be conducted to assess performance risk. If negative past performance information is identified, quoters will have an opportunity to comment unless they previously addressed it in CPARS. CPARS records older than five years may also be reviewed.

c. Management Approach and Experience: The USSS will evaluate the management approach factor by assessing the offeror’s management approach summary. A confidence rating will be assigned based on the content of Volume III that demonstrates the Government’s confidence in the quoter’s proposed approach to successfully perform the services outlined in the SOW. The Government will assess whether the offeror’s management approach convincingly demonstrates: (1) the capacity to recruit, hire, retain, or subcontract qualified personnel to perform glazier services (2) the ability to staff, through the same means, the technical roles needed for installing and removing glazier services. Emphasis will be placed on the vendor’s ability to effectively coordinate logistics, communicate, adhere to schedules, and demonstrate corporate experience in managing similar projects.

d. Price: Price will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness. Fair and

Reasonableness will be evaluated using the pricing proposed for each of the provided scenarios (Attachments 2-5).

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Glazier Support Services (CONUS)

Part 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Introduction:

The United States Secret Service (USSS) is a premier law enforcement agency with the responsibility to safeguard the nation's financial infrastructure and payment systems, preserve the integrity of the economy, and protect national leaders, visiting dignitaries, and designated sites.

The dual financial and protective mission of the USSS is achieved through excellence in investigative and protective operations, leveraging advanced technology, and fostering partnerships with other law enforcement agencies and the community.

This is a non-personal services Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide the USSS with glazier services throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) (excluding the National Capital Region (NCR)). Specific project sites will be identified at the Order level. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Background:

The USSS has a long-standing mission to protect national leaders, visiting dignitaries, and designated sites, as well as to safeguard the nation's financial infrastructure and payment systems. Over the years, this mission has grown and evolved to address emerging threats and challenges, necessitating the incorporation of advanced security measures and technologies.

As part of its protective mission, the USSS is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of various indoor and outdoor sites, including the White House Complex, the Vice President's residence, foreign diplomatic missions, and other critical locations within the CONUS. These facilities require robust and resilient physical security measures to protect against potential threats.

Glazier services play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the physical security of these facilities. High-quality ballistic glass systems are essential components in ensuring the protective mission is executed successfully. Over the years, the need for glazier services has become increasingly important as the USSS's protective mission has expanded. The USSS requires ballistic countermeasures be in place at all protected sites. To fulfill this critical requirement, the USSS employs a variety of ballistic armor solutions. Certain types of this armor necessitate comprehensive logistical support, specialized personnel, and the deployment of heavy equipment to ensure proper installation and functionality. The integration of ballistic glass within these countermeasures underscores the necessity for expert glazier services to ensure that all protective installations meet the highest standards of security and resilience.

By incorporating glazier services into an BPA, the USSS aims to ensure that adequate protection is in place for protectees in a timely manner, regardless of their location within the protective area. The contractor shall provide expert glazier services, leveraging advanced technology and industry best practices to deliver high-quality results in a timely, urgent, and volatile environment. This approach will enable the USSS to maintain a secure environment for all protected individuals, thereby fulfilling its mission to protect and preserve the nation's security and integrity.

1.2 Objectives:

• Facilitate Personnel and Equipment Acquisition: Ensure the efficient acquisition of qualified personnel and specialized equipment necessary for the installation and placement of various armor systems, thereby supporting the seamless execution of protective operations.

• Enhance Physical Security: Ensure that all protected sites, both indoor and outdoor, are equipped with state-of-the-art ballistic glass systems to provide a robust physical barrier against potential threats, thereby enhancing the overall security.

• Rapid Deployment and Flexibility: Facilitate the quick installation and removal of specialized ballistic glass systems to adapt to the dynamic and often volatile nature of protective operations, ensuring that security measures are in place wherever and whenever needed.

• Support for High-Profile Events: Provide reliable and timely glazier services for high-profile events and volatile projects, ensuring that temporary but highly secure glazing solutions are available to protect national leaders, visiting dignitaries, and other protectees.
