10. SUBMITTAL INSTRUCTIONS

In addition to the referenced provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offeror – Commercial Items, quoters shall follow the instructions below.

6933A225Q000012 Solicitation Page 7

(2) System for Award Management (SAM) Registration. SAM REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.sam.gov. Lack of registration in SAM may make a quoter ineligible for award. Information on how to register and the time required is detailed in FAR 52.204-7.

10.2 Quotation Instructions

At a minimum, include the following:

(1) Experience/Past Performance. Provide a listing of up to three (3) relevant projects completed within the past three (3) years. Relevant is defined as a project of similar or greater size, scope, and complexity to the requirements of the SOW. Each project shall not exceed one (1) page and include the following information as applicable:

• Project name

• Name and address of client organization

• Contract number and order number

• Contract type

• Total contract value

• Period of performance

• Description of work performed

• Points of contact including name, telephone number and email address

(2) Price Quotation. Submit pricing using the price worksheet in Attachment 2. Please ensure that the price quotation is valid for at least 30 days from the date of established for receipt of quotations. The price quotation should be included in a separate document to facilitate an independent evaluation.

11. Basis of Award and Evaluation Criteria

Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. The Government plans to award a single purchase order to a sole responsible quoter with the lowest total evaluated price meeting or exceeding technical acceptability standards, having an acceptable or neutral past performance.

The Government plans to evaluate quotations and make award without conducting discussions.

Quoters may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their quotation or resolve minor or clerical errors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

10.1 Evaluation Factors

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Technical Acceptability - Technical information, to include the quoter’s (1) permits, licenses, and certificates; (2) credentials for drivers, (3) SOP for oil transfers, and (4) experience, will be evaluated to determine if the quoter understands the requirement and has the expertise required to successfully complete the work as described.

https://www.sam.gov/

6933A225Q000012 Solicitation Page 8

2. Past Performance - Past performance information will be evaluated to determine the quoter’s ability to perform the contract successfully and degree of performance risk associated with a quoter. MARAD will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information, and the information may be obtained from references provided, MARAD’s knowledge of contractor performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases.

3. Price - Total evaluated price will be the sum of quotations for all contract line items, including optional items.

10.2 Difference Between Experience and Past Performance

Experience is the “type of work” the quoter has performed whereas past performance examines “how well” the quoter has performed as indicative as to how well the quoter will perform on this procurement. For the purpose of evaluating experience/past performance, relevant is defined as a project of similar or greater size, scope, and complexity to the requirements of the SOW. A quoter with no relevant past performance for work completed within the past three (3) years will be evaluated with neither a favorable nor unfavorable rating. However, a quoter without a history of relevant experience for work completed within the past three (3) years will receive an “Unacceptable” rating for the Technical Acceptability factor.

10.2 Adjectival Rating Definitions

The following ratings definitions will be utilized in the evaluation of the non-price evaluation factors:

The government may, if requested within 3 days after the notification of contract award (i.e., posting to sam.gov), provide a brief explanation of the award decision to unsuccessful quoters.

The brief explanation may include the following information:

• The number of quotations received;

• The name of each quoter receiving an award;

• The total order price; and

• In general terms, the reason the quoter’s quotation was not selected, unless the price information shared readily reveals the reason.

Evaluation Method: Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability.

Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical and neutral or acceptable past performance rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer until the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer is identified.
