CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award on the basis of price and technical, unless the contracting officer is aware of past performance information related to the low price quote/offer which indicates that quote/ offer may not represent best value. In that case, the Government reserves the right to consider the past performance of other quotes/ offers, conduct a price, past performance tradeoff, and award to other than the lowest price quote/offer.

For the purposes of award, offers will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA)

Source selection will be conducted using LPTA. Award will be made to the single Offeror who is deemed responsible, whose proposal conforms to the Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements and is judged to represent the LPTA proposal to the Government. To be eligible for award, a proposal must meet all past performance and technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, and include all information required in the solicitation. Therefore, the proposal shall contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. This will result in award being made to the lowest-priced offer that the Contracting Officer has determined as acceptable in both past performance and technical areas.

The Government shall evaluate the proposed Technical/Capability to Perform on a technically Acceptable or Unacceptable basis. Only those offers which are determined by the Contracting Officer to have a technically acceptable Capability to Perform will be further evaluated under Past Performance and Price.

For those offers determined technically acceptable under Capability to Perform, the Government shall evaluate Past Performance on an adjectival basis as Acceptable or Unacceptable.

In accordance with FAR 15.305, the Contracting Officer shall evaluate each proposal in accordance with the evaluation factors, in the manner described herein. The Government contemplates the award without discussions. Each initial offer should, therefore, contain the Offeror’s best terms from both a technical and price standpoint.

Evaluation Factors. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers.

(1) Technical/Capability to Perform

(2) Past Performance

(3) Price

FACTOR 1 – Technical/Capability to Perform

In order to be considered technically acceptable at the time of the Government’s receipt of proposals, offerors must meet the requirements specified in the Performance Work Statement. The offeror will provide the following within their bid proposal, by doing this the offeror asserts that they are technically capable of performing the specifications/Performance Work Statement and all aspects of this contract:

1. Plan of Action for installation of rental tank, include time frame and type of installation.

2. Documentation of certificate of conformance MIL SPEC MIL-PRF-27415.

3. Statement of certificate of compliance (being provided with each delivery) Meaning each potential delivery must be tested and meet the MIL-PRF-27415 MIL SPEC.

4. Statement of if the potential delivery fails to meet the 99.998% Argon that it will NOT be delivered.

5. Pricing for new Period of Performance Dates listed within Performance Work Statement: Base and ALL Option years.

The Government shall evaluate Technical/Capability to Perform using the following adjectival ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government intends to evaluate the quality of the offeror’s past performance. This evaluation of past performance is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination.

The offeror shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Failure to submit the completed Contractor Performance report Data Sheets will be considered certification that the offeror has no past performance for relevant services for the Government to evaluate.

Past Performance data may be gathered from sources other than those provided. Past performance information may be obtained from established systems such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, such as the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Fee Determining Officials.

The Government shall evaluate Past Performance using the following adjectival ratings:

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below)

Unacceptable

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see

FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

FACTOR 3 - PRICE

(a) Offeror’s price will be evaluated on the basis of total aggregate price of all line items. 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).

1. Show the proposed unit price for all items.

2. Enter the extended price (multiply the estimated annual quantity by the proposed unit price) of each item offered in the Total column. In case of discrepancy between a unit price and an extended price, the unit price will be presumed to be correct. Offers for supplies or services other than those specified will not be considered unless authorized by the solicitation.

3. Propose a price on all items for each schedule. If there is to be no charge for an item, an entry such as No Charge, or the letters N/C or 0, must be made in the unit price column of the Schedule.

4. When drayage is necessary for the accomplishment of any item in the schedule, the Offeror shall include in the unit price any costs for bridge or ferry tolls, road use charges or similar expenses.

5. Unless otherwise provided in this solicitation, the Offeror shall state prices in amounts as listed in the PWS.

(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 obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

For evaluation purposes, in order to evaluate the impact of a possible six (6) month extension under the clause FAR 52.217-8, the total proposed price for option period one (1) will be divided by two

(2) to calculate an extension price. The extension price will then be added to the total proposed price to arrive at a total evaluated price.

(c) The total evaluated price will be evaluated to determine whether it is reasonable. A reasonable price represents a price that provides best value to the government, taking into account market prices, the technical and functional capabilities of the offeror, and risk.

(d) 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.
