52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

As prescribed in 12.205(a)(2), insert a provision substantially as follows:

Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award an agreement resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror/s whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

(1) The Government will issue BPAs resulting from this solicitation to all responsible Offerors whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, represents a qualified and capable PCBA firm that can provide value to the Government and demonstrates the ability to deliver rapid PCBA units. Pricing information is not requested at this time. The purpose of this solicitation is to competitively establish qualified suppliers. Specific pricing information will be provided when individual orders are required; fair and reasonable prices will be determined based on individual orders.

Factor 1 Technical will be evaluated based on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, as follows:

The Government will evaluate each offeror’s proposal to determine if the offeror is technically capable to address the requirements (a) – (c) below, as further described in the PWS (Attachment 1) in order to perform and deliver individual BPA orders. Based on the context in PWS the Government will evaluate the offeror’s capability to:

(a) performing PCB Assembly and/or PCB Fabrication in-house.

(b) perform a wide range of PCB Fabrication activities, including but not limited to: multi-layer PCBs, multi-sided PCBs, very thin PCBs, PCBs with a high density of highly miniaturized features, and PCBs with complex vias.

(c) perform and report on PCB Fabrication validation and quality control activities, including post production impedance and continuity checks.

(d) perform a wide range of PCB Assembly activities, including but not limited to: multi-sided assembly, very small or thin assemblies, assemblies with a high component density, fine pitch component assembly (BGAs, BTCs, etc.), and assemblies with miniscule passive components (0201, 01005, etc.)

(e) perform and report on PCB Assembly validation and quality control activities, including post production quality control inspections and other electrical tests (flying probe test, etc.)

(f) rapidly provide/procure adequate electronic components to meet tight PCBA production deadlines, when in absence of Government Furnished Material (GFM) in-whole or in-part, which must also describe the process used to maintain chain of custody from Original Equipment Manufacturer

(OEM).

Technical Acceptability is as shown is Table 1 below.

Factor Evaluation Criteria Acceptability Criteria

Factor 1 (a): In-House PCB Fabrication and/or Assembly

PCB Fabrication In House In House PCB Assembly In House In House *At least one function (PCB Fab or PCB Assy) must be performed In-House. Include a list of preferred or commonly used vendors for any sub-contracted elements.

Factor 1 (b): PCB Fabrication Capabilities

6-25 PCB layers (provide maximum layers)

Provide Capability list detailing PCB Fabrication processes/equipment and technical knowledge necessary to demonstrate listed PCB Fabrication capabilities

Process components on very densely populated PCBs Process very fine pitch (<0.4mm) BGA, BTC, and QFP components 2-sided PCB Assembly Tin-Lead, Lead Free, and Hybrid Soldering Processes J-STD-001 Class 3 Cleaning Processes

Factor 1 (e): PCB Assembly Quality Control

IPC-A-610 QC Inspections and reports Provide Capability list detailing QC process and PCBA validation processes/equipment X-ray inspections (as necessary) and reports

Flying Probe Tests (FPT) and reports Factor 1 (f):

Component Procurement, Validation, and Screening

Only Uses Authorized Distributors (Digikey, Mouser, TI, Newark, etc.) Provide component ordering and inventory process, including any standards, screening criteria, and QC programs utilized

Verifies parts received match OEM specifications Screens components for authenticity

(g) perform orders with International Trafficking in Arms (ITAR) requirements;

(h) perform order with Trusted Requirements (DoDI 5200.44);

(i) Provide a Quality Control plan as stated in the PWS.

The Government Requires offerors with International Trafficking in arms (ITAR) capabilities.

Unclear or insufficiently described technical volumes may result in a determination that the offeror is not technically capable of (a) – (f) above, will be excluded and not considered further.

Factor 2 will be evaluated based on the past performance relevance rating and confidence assessment, as follows:

Any Past Performance information provided within the proposal will be evaluated along with (IAW RFO 12.203(c)) the Government POC’s knowledge of and/or previous experiences with the Offeror for supplies or services related to the requirements described in PWS.

The Government does not anticipate, but may, at its discretion, send out past performance questionnaires or otherwise contact previous customers for/regarding past performance experiences listed. In addition to the information to evaluation above, the Government may evaluate all past performance information received from any returned past performance questionnaires.

If submitted, each Offeror’s past performance experiences will be given a relevancy rating and a single confidence assessment will be given to the Offeror’s proposal, as described below.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Performance Confidence Assessments Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(b) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.
