EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

GENERAL INFORMATION

a. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror, whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical Capability

2. Past Performance

3. Price

Order of Importance: FACTOR 1 – Technical Capability and FACTOR 2 – Past Performance are equal in importance. When combined, FACTORS 1 and 2 are SIGNIFICANTLY MORE important than FACTOR 3 - Price. The Government will use best value trade-off source selection procedures to determine the awardee. If technical capability and past performance quality assessments converge in terms of equality, price will become the determinative factor in the best value tradeoff decision.

b. 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.

c. The Government reserves the right to award a contract on the basis of evaluation of the original submission without discussions or call for Final Quote Revisions.

FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

An evaluation rating of Technically Acceptable/Non-Acceptable will be assigned upon completion of the technical submittal evaluation. If the Offeror receives a technical rating of "Non-Acceptable" they will not be considered for award or further evaluated.

Rating System for Technical Evaluation Factors

Rating Definition

Acceptable Submittal meets the requirements of the solicitation, specification and standard specifications.

Non-Acceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation, specification and standard specifications.

As stated in Attachment 2 - USCGC GEORGE COBB DS FY26 - SPECIFICATION, a technically compliant vendor must submit:

a. List of Subcontractors, work items involved, and work site addresses.

b. Qualifications for Skilled Traders including, but not limited to welders, electrician, HVAC, NACE Inspectors with name, type of qualifications, and date of last qualification test for work items in the USCGC GEORGE COBB DS FY26 - SPECIFICATION that requires the particular Skilled Traders.

c. Written description of Property Control System for GFP, if applicable.

d. List of NFPA certified Chemists, if applicable.

e. Designation of Competent Person.

f. List of Qualified Sil-brazers, if applicable.

g. Valid Dry-Dock Certifications that covers the entire Period of Performance.

h. Certificate of Liability Insurance.

i. Provide Manufacturer Technical Representatives for Work Items in Attachment 2 - USCGC GEORGE COBB DS FY26 –

SPECIFICATION.

The assessment process will result in an overall quality assessment of the Technical Capability Factor.

FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

In evaluating Contractor's past performance, the government intends to also review U.S. Government Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and other existing past performance ratings on relevant contracts. For purposes of this solicitation, "relevant contracts" are defined as contracts performed in which the contractor was the prime contractor performing construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of similarly sized ships/vessels. Past performance ratings for contracts that were completed more than three (3) years before the date of the issuance of this solicitation are not considered recent and will not be evaluated. General trends in a contractor's performance will also be considered. Vendors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance but will be assigned a Neutral rating.

1. Sub-factor 1. Quality of Services: Offerors that have demonstrated an ability to exceed contract requirements, exceed customer expectations for adequacy of services and correction of deficiencies will be evaluated more favorably.

2. Sub-factor 2. Schedule: Offerors that have demonstrated an ability to exceed customer expectations regarding timely performance will be considered more favorable.

3. Sub-factor 3. Management: Offerors that have demonstrated superior ability to effectively manage company personnel, and subcontractors, and effectively and responsively work with past customers to correct performance issues will be given more favorable consideration.

Past Performance Rating:

Rating Description

Exceptional Performance met contractual requirements and exceeded many to the Government's benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government's benefit. The element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. The element being assessed contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions.

Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The element being assessed contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

Neutral The offeror has no past performance history OR the Contracting Officer has determined that the past performance information provided is not directly related or similar to the requirements.

FACTOR 3 – PRICE

Price evaluation is based on Attachment 2, Specification, which will be the first task order. Price will be evaluated on the total evaluated price for the completion of the USCGC GEORGE COBB DS. The total evaluated price is the total of foreseeable costs and the proposed prices of all extended work items that are listed in ATTACHMENT 1, Price Schedule. An offeror's completed Price Schedule shall represent the best price in response to the solicitation. The total evaluated price shall be assessed to ensure that it is fair and reasonable. The total evaluated price will be evaluated for reasonableness in accordance with FAR parts 12.

Definitions: WORK ITEMS: These are the items that are listed in the Price Schedule (Attachment 1 – GEORGE COBB DS FY 26 Work Item - Blank 1) and Attachment 2 - USCGC GEORGE COBB DS FY 26 - SPECIFICATION).
