52.212-2 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (OCT 2014) 52.212-2

(a) Individuals will be considered solely on the basis of professional qualifications established for the personal services being acquired and the Government's estimation of reasonable rates, fees, or other costs. All interested applicants shall be provided with a copy of the RFQ for review and familiarization with the Performance Work Statement (PWS). All prospective applicants shall submit documents supporting their qualifications to perform the tasks and required experience in PWS Sections C2 and C3.

Factor 1 Technical: Candidate must meet the qualifications listed in Section C3 and have demonstrated the ability to perform the duties in Section C2. Consideration and selection will be based on a panel evaluation of the candidates' required documents submissions.

All complete applications will receive one of three scores for each of the required and desired qualifications:

Outstanding: Applicant indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good: Applicant indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable: Applicant meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal: Applicant has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable: Applicant does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Factor 2 Past Performance: Applicants submitted no less than three (3) and not more than five (5) professional references from relevant experience during the past ten (10) years. The Government will conduct a performance risk evaluation based upon the past performance of the offerors as it relates to the probability of successfully performing the solicitation requirements.

Marginal/High Performance Risk. Based on the offeror's performance record, substantial doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory/Moderate Performance Risk. Based on the offeror's performance record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Normal contractor emphasis should preclude any problems.

Very Good/Low Performance Risk. Based on the offeror's performance record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Exceptional/Very Low Performance Risk. Based on the offeror's performance record, no doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Performance Risk. No performance record is identifiable. The performance rating is "Neutral."

Applicants determined to have unknown past performance will receive a neutral rating which is considered acceptable.

DFC reserves the right to conduct interviews with only the most qualified candidates. The evaluation team will rate candidates from most qualified to least qualified. Upon receipt from of the ranked listing of applicants, the contracting officer shall enter into negotiations with the highest ranked applicant. If a mutually satisfactory contract cannot be negotiated, the contracting officer shall terminate negotiations with the highest ranked applicant and enter into negotiations with the next highest.

(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 significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c)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.
