SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

BASIS FOR AWARD

This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). Award will be made to a single offeror deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, and all other information required by the solicitation), is determined to be a fair and reasonable price, and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offer. The Government will utilize a LPTA evaluation method for this requirement. Only those proposals determined to be Technically Acceptable will be eligible for award. Offerors whose technical proposals are determined “Unacceptable” will not be eligible for award. Furthermore, proposals with unacceptable ratings of past performance will not be considered for award.

Trade-offs between cost/price and non-cost/price factors are not permitted. Unreasonably high, unbalanced, inaccurate or incomplete price proposals may be the grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition.

As set forth in FAR 52.215-1 (f)(4), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), clarifications and award without discussions). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In the event that discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the rated technically acceptable proposals. Failure of a large business offeror to submit a subcontracting plan, or failure for the proposed subcontracting plan to be determined acceptable by the Contracting Officer shall render the large business offeror ineligible for award.

The adjectival ratings to be utilized for proposal evaluations are consistent with the DoD Source Selection Procedures and the Army Source Selection Supplement (AS3). Price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance, but will not receive an adjectival rating.

Evaluation criteria consist of factors and sub-factors. The proposals will be evaluated under three evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance, and Price.

FACTORS AND SUB-FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED.

The following evaluation factors and sub-factors will be used to evaluate each proposal:

Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the

Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub-factors described below.

Factor 1 Technical Approach

Sub-factor 1: Management Plan Sub-factor 2: Equipment Resources Sub-factor 3: Transportation Operations

Factor 2 Past Performance

Factor 3 Price

Factor 1: Technical Approach: Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address each sub-factor as it applies to the Performance Work Statement (PWS). A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, of this section. During evaluations of each proposal, the Government will assign each sub-factor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

If determined to be unacceptable in one or more of the sub-factors the overall rating will be unacceptable.

Factor 2: Past Performance: Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence assessment.

Factor 3: Price: The resulting award will be a FFP IDIQ. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the Firm-Fixed Price effort.

EVALUATION APPROACH.

1. The Technical Approach factor is divided into the following sub-factors:

Sub-factor 1: Management Plan: The offerors plan demonstrated a clear understanding of the Yellow Ribbon Service in Orlando, FL. The offeror’s management plan established procedures that will be utilized to accomplish the functions of management and execution of the requirement as set forth in the PWS in section 5.

Sub-factor 2: Equipment Resources: Offeror provided a listing of all the equipment they possess, or will obtain prior to 1 November 2020, that will be used in support of the requirements as stated in the PWS. The offeror submitted a plan and schedule that will ensure reliable service throughout the period of performance.

Sub-factor 3: Transportation Operations: The offerors transportation shuttles from the airport and to the hotel for guest and the wait time shouldn’t be more than 30 minutes as stated in the PWS.

1. Offeror clearly demonstrated their capabilities to provide transportation to and from the airport to the hotel, in an efficient manner that will meet turnaround time requirements under the PWS.

2. Offeror clearly identified procedures for operating in natural disaster situations that may impact transportation operations between the airport and hotel, to ensure continued operations.

Factor 2: Past Performance. The past performance evaluation will assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. Past Performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems and State Department Watch Lists. Past performance areas of evaluation include:

- Business Relations

- Quality of Service

- Schedule

- Customer Satisfaction

(a) Each offeror will receive a performance confidence assessment rating based on the Offeror’s recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the Contract requirements.

Rating Description

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

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

(b) The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment.

(c) Assigning Ratings. The Past Performance Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below.

Table 4. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a “neutral” rating shall be considered “acceptable.

3. Cost/Price Factor. The contract will be an IDIQ FFP. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness for the fixed priced effort. If the Government evaluated cost is less than the proposed, the proposed becomes the probable cost. The base program and all option years shall be included in the cost/price calculation. Should the Government determine proposed prices are unrealistically low (an indication of “buy-in”), this will be considered a performance risk.

Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b). Through these techniques, the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete, and balanced. If adequate price competition is not obtained or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using price analysis of Government-obtained information, additional information IAW FAR 15.4 may be required to support the proposed price. To be viable for award, an Offeror’s price must be determined fair and reasonable. The Offeror’s total proposed price will be utilized to evaluate if the proposal represents a fair and reasonable price. The total evaluated price includes the price of all options (to include the option to extend services in accordance with FAR 52.217-8).

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all option periods. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the base year and option periods are significantly unbalanced. As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the Offeror’s final option year prices to the Offeror’s total price. Thus, the Offeror’s total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base year, option year 1, option year 2, option year 3, option year 4, and 1/2 of the 4th option year. Offerors are not required to enter a price for the six-month period.
