FAR 52.252-1 Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference (FEB 1998) This solicitation incorporates one or more solicitation provisions by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. Also, the full text of a solicitation provision may be accessed electronically at Internet address http://acquisition.gov/far/index.html

(End of Provision)

The following provisions are incorporated by reference and are addendum to FAR 52.212-1:

FAR 52.204-16 Commercial and Government Entity Code Reporting (JUL 2016) FAR 52.217-5 Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990)

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (OCT 2014) is not applicable to this acquisition.

In lieu of this provision, quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2 based on the criteria listed below. Quotes will be evaluated and contract awarded to the lowest priced technically acceptable quote.

Evaluation Factors: Quotations will be evaluated using the following factors:

Technical Acceptability Price Past Performance

This acquisition will use Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection based on the criteria in the solicitation IAW FAR 13.106-2. The Government may make separate awards for specific items or groups of items contained in this solicitation. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable and removed from consideration for award.

Technical Acceptability: Quotations will be evaluated on the ability of the offeror to provide new manufactured commercial items from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an OEM approved source. Offerors must be able to provide traceability to the OEM on all parts and be able to provide a certificate of airworthiness, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 8130 (preferred) or equivalent European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Certification, and a certificate of conformance (COC). Part 21 of the Federal Aviation Regulation outlines certification procedures. All offerors will be required to provide in writing a validation that they are able to provide the required technical acceptability certificates upon delivery of the parts on the schedule with their submitted quote. Offerors must provide exact part numbers or NATO approved alternate part numbers and must be registered and current in the System for Award Management (SAM).

Price: Offers shall be submitted on the basis of F.O.B. Destination only.

Price quotations will be evaluated to determine completeness and fair and reasonableness. Price quotations will be reviewed to verify pricing was provided for the base and two (2) option periods.

Failure to propose pricing for the base year and all respective option periods on individual line items may result in a quotation being excluded from further consideration. The government will also evaluate prices for each contract period of performance. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option period prices are significantly unbalanced.

Past Performance: Past Performance will be evaluated to assess the Government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to fulfill the solicitation requirements. The Government may use information available from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), previous contracts/purchase orders with the USCG and any information found using Federal as well as state and local Government sources. An offeror must receive an Acceptable Confidence Rating to be considered for award. Offeror’s will be given the opportunity to address/comment on adverse past performance information that may result in an Unacceptable Confidence Rating.

If an offeror does not have a record of relevant past performance or past performance information is either unavailable or so sparse that no meaningful rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be rated favorably or unfavorably. Therefore the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance which for purposes of the LPTA source selection process is acceptable.

FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items (OCT 2018) X Alternate I of 52.212-3. (OCT 2014) The Offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) Website located at https://www.sam.gov/portal. If the Offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, the Offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (u) of this provision.
