About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document addressing inquiries related to a federal contract solicitation for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (JOC).

The contract has a five-year period of performance consisting of a base year plus four one-year ordering periods, commencing from the contract award date. Only one contractor will be awarded this indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. A price schedule is required as part of submission requirements and was attached to an amendment. Bid guarantees are required per task order as specified in FAR 28.101 and 28.102, rather than for the overall contract. The Government has not established an RFI deadline and indicated it does not intend to answer additional RFIs post-posting unless determined to be in its best interest. No estimated contract magnitude or value was disclosed, and no associated seed project exists for this solicitation.

Evaluation for award will employ a best value methodology considering three factors: Technical (pass/fail basis where offerors must meet sub-factors), Past Performance (rated using recency and quality metrics on an internal rating scale not required to be disclosed in the solicitation), and Price. Technical and Past Performance combined are weighted as more important than price. The Government reserves the right to make award decisions based on these three data points without disclosing the specific Past Performance rating methodology in the solicitation documents.

Questions and Answers

Can you please provide a price schedule as required per the submission requirements?

Attached to amendment.

Will a bid guarantee be required for the overall contract or per task order?

Per task order as required (See FAR 28.101 and 28.102).

Is there an associated seed project for this JOC?

No.

Do you have an established RFI deadline?

No, but after this posting the Government does not intend to answer any more RFIs unless it’s determined to be in its best interest to do so.

Is there an estimated magnitude or contract value for this solicitation?

No.

Is there a period of performance for the overall contract?

Five years. A base and four ordering period of 12 months. It begins with the date of contract award.

How many contractors will be awarded?

Only one contract is intended to be awarded.

Can you please clarify the evaluation method for award? It is stated on page 19 of the solicitation that

Technical and Past Performance combined are more important than price and the technical proposal is on a pass/fail basis, however there is no clear evaluation criteria/methodology for the Past Performance.

Technical is pass/fail. The offeror either meets or does not the sub-factors. Past performance uses recency and quality to assign a rating. That rating scale is an internal evaluation method and is not required to be disclosed in the solicitation. With those two data points and price, a best value decision will be made for award.
