FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)
EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
The Government will award contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose offers will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Cost to the Government is not expected to be the controlling factor in the selection of Contractors for this solicitation. The degree of importance of cost as a factor could become greater depending upon the quality of the offers for other factors evaluated. The following factors will be used in the technical evaluation of offers listed in descending order of importance:
Contractor’s Knowledge/Capabilities
Work Plan and Schedule
Quality Control Plan
Safety Plan
Experience of Key Personnel Past Performance
EVALUATION PROCEDURES AND BASIS FOR AWARD
The Contracting Office will review all proposals to determine initial acceptability of the offeror’s proposals. This review will ensure that the proposals are complete, were prepared in accordance with the instructions, and meet all requirements set forth. If proposals are initially acceptable, a team will further evaluate the technical proposals. The team will evaluate the proposals using the evaluation factors listed. All proposals found initially acceptable will be ranked with only the most highly ranked proposals suitable for award or further consideration. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all offers if such action is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Any proposal found initially unacceptable may be rejected and the offeror notified of that rejection.
If proposals continue to be acceptable, and the Contracting Officer determines that award without discussions is suitable, then award will be made to those offeror(s) that provide the best value to the Government based on technical, price and consideration of other non-price factors. Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint that the offeror can submit to the Government.
However, if proposals continue to be acceptable and the Contracting Officer determines that award can only be achieved with discussions, then the Contracting Officer will make a competitive range determination. Those offerors whose proposals are not within the competitive range will be notified that their proposals were not ranked sufficiently high enough to be considered for award and no further modification will be considered. Negotiations will be held with those offerors remaining in the competitive range. After negotiations are completed, the offerors will be provided with an opportunity to submit a final proposal revision. The Final Proposal Revisions will be evaluated against the same evaluation factors as the initial proposals.
Award(s) will be made to the most highly ranked offeror(s) (1) whose total proposal is technically acceptable, has demonstrated past performance in meeting customer satisfaction, and (2) whose past performance and technical/cost relationship presents the BEST VALUE and is the most advantageous to the Government.
Evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price in the award decision. The critical factor in making any cost/technical trade-off is not the spread between the technical scores but, rather, the significance of that difference. The significance of the spread of scores will be determined on the basis of what the difference might mean in terms of performance and what it would cost the Government to take advantage of it. Award may not necessarily be made for technical capabilities that would appear to exceed those needed for the successful performance of the work. The Government reserves the right to make cost/technical trade-offs that are in the best interest and advantageous to the Government.
(b) Options. This solicitation contains unpriced option periods, which will not be considered in the evaluation of proposals.
(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offerors 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.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
EACH OFFEROR MUST COMPLETE A PROPOSAL ADDRESSING EACH OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. YOU MAY USE THIS FORMAT OR ANOTHER FORMAT.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - The proposal must include two parts: a technical proposal and business proposal. Each of the parts shall be separate and complete so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently from evaluation of the other. The technical proposal must not contain reference to prices; however, resource information (such as data concerning labor hours and categories, materials, subcontracts, etc.) must be contained in the technical proposal so that the Contractor's understanding of the statement of work may be evaluated. The Business proposal should include the signed SF-1449, priced schedule of items, Contractor’s Financial Information Sheet and proof of insurance.
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS. The technical proposal will be used to make an evaluation and arrive at a determination as to whether the proposal will meet the requirements of the Government. Therefore, the technical proposal must present sufficient information to reflect a thorough understanding of the requirements and a detailed description of the techniques, procedures, and program for achieving the objectives of the specifications and statement of work. Proposals that merely paraphrase the requirements of the Governments specification/statement of work, or use phrases such as “will comply” or “standard techniques will be used” will be considered unacceptable and may not be considered further. Technical Proposal Content –the following specific information should be considered and included in the technical proposal.

52.204-7 Central Contractor Registration. (Apr 2008)
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—
“Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database” means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.
“Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number” means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.
“Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number” means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.
“Registered in the CCR database” means that—
(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and
(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record “Active”. The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the CCR registration process.
(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.
(2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation “DUNS” or “DUNS +4” followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror’s name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR database.
(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.
(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number—
(i) Via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the offeror does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or
(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a U.S. Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.
(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:
(i) Company legal business.
(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.
(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.
(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if separate from physical).
(v) Company Telephone Number.
(vi) Date the company was started.
(vii) Number of employees at your location.
(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.
(ix) Line of business (industry).
(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).
(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.
(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.
(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.
(g)
(1)
(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.
(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.
(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.
(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

(d) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order.
