-Technical Experience -Management Approach -Past Performance -Price
Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price.
(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.
Technical Experience The Offeror shall provide an overview of its technical knowledge and experience with providing Wiring Harness Support services on aircraft and ground support equipment or similar services. This shall include capabilities and experience with performing Wiring Harness Support or similar services. The Offeror shall include specific examples of work performed as described in section 3.1 of the Statement of Work (SOW). The scope of work with specific tasking and accomplishments shall be included. Each example shall describe the Wiring Harness Support procedures used to accomplish the tasking and the approximate dollar value of the contract. The Offeror shall demonstrate their technical capability to perform all task areas of the SOW and address as specifically as possible the actual methodology used to accomplish the SOW tasks. The Offeror shall demonstrate a clear understanding of the work processes, procedures, and equipment required for performing the task in the SOW. The information shall be prepared in a format consistent with the SOW and shall be in sufficient detail to enable the Government to make a thorough evaluation of the Offeror’s technical competence and ability to comply with the task requirements specified in the SOW.
The Government will assess the offeror’s technical knowledge and experience to provide on Wiring Harness Support Services.
Management Approach Management approach shall detail proposed policies and procedures for managing and directing the effort, including procedures for dealing with unusual or difficult situations that may arise. The Offeror shall demonstrate a clear understanding of the management skills needed to execute the services defined in the SOW, as well as how they are to be aligned and utilized in performance of the contract. The proposal shall include the methodology used to determine the management approach and the rationale as to why the management personnel proposed are best qualified to accomplish the task. Methodology shall demonstrate the Offeror’s understanding of the requirement and ability to manage the technical requirements stated in the SOW. Specific examples should be submitted that demonstrate the Offeror’s: 1) policies and procedures for managing and directing the effort; 2) application of management resources; 3) organizational structure/lines of authority; 4) risk assessment/risk mitigation plan; 5) understanding of the processes, procedures, and controls as related to the use of Government Furnished Resources.
Offerors shall submit their planned approach to performance of the SOW citing work plans, processes, and procedures for successfully managing tasks for multiple aircraft in work. In addition, the Offeror shall address critical items such as continuous process improvement, procedures for scheduling, conducting, and documenting inspections, discrepancy identification, and corrective action procedures to include procedures for addressing Government discovered non-conformances and demonstrate understanding of the requirement based on comprehension of the SOW.
The Government will assess the offeror’s Management Approach to determine whether or not the proposed approach meets or does not meet the performance or capabilities requirements through an assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies and risks of an offer.
Past Performance An assessment of the offeror’s past performance will be completed to determine the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation will consider each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying services that meet the contract requirements. An assessment of an offeror’s past work record will determine the offeror’s probability of successfully performing as proposed will also be completed.
The offeror may provide up to three (3) contract references completed in the last three (3) years. Contracts (references) listed may include those with the Federal Government, State and Local Governments or their agencies, and Commercial Customers.
The Government may use information available from past contracts/purchase orders with the United States Coast Guard (USCG), delivery information found in the USCG’s Asset Maintenance Management Information System (AMMIS) system, and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources, Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)/Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact and to contact additional references other than those provided by the Offeror. In the event that the Offeror has no record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror will be given a neutral past performance rating.
The recency and relevancy of the information, the source of the information, context of the data and general trends in the Contractor’s performance will be considered. For purposes of this evaluation, recency is defined as active or completed efforts performed within the past three (3) years.
Price The Offeror shall provide pricing as requested in “Attachment 1 – Schedule of Services”. Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. The Offeror’s quotation will be evaluated using the techniques as defined in FAR Subpart 15.4, in order to determine if it is fair and reasonable. Total price evaluation will be for the base period, all option periods and IAW FAR 52.217-8, a six (6) month extension period. Failure to quote pricing for the base period and the option periods on individual line items may result in a quotation being excluded from further consideration.
For purposes of evaluation, the potential need to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8 to extend a period of contract performance for a maximum period of six (6) months beyond any period of performance will be considered the same for all Offerors. The Government will consider that if the extension of service clause (FAR 52.217-8) is exercised, it will be on the exact same rates and terms, other than length of performance, as the period of performance being extended. For purposes of evaluation only, the Government will use the rates specified in the last option period and add the cost of six (6) months to the prices quoted for the base period and all option periods to determine total evaluated price of the contract. The Government will determine whether the price, including the options available under FAR 52.217-8, is fair and reasonable.
To facilitate uniformity in evaluation, offerors shall use the spreadsheet provided as an attachment to the Request for Proposal (RFP) titled “Attachment 1- Schedule of Services” in the format provided for pricing. The price evaluation will be based upon the total evaluated price for each offeror. The Government will evaluate the price for award purposes by adding the total price for all option periods to the total price for the base period. Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. Offerors shall include as much information as possible in the price buildup. Failure to quote pricing on individual line items may result in a quote being excluded from further consideration.
If needed, the Government intends to exercise the option or options under FAR 52.217-8 without further competition or need for justification for other than full or open competition [or limited source justification or sole source justification]. In considering the price of the base period and any option periods, the Government will consider that if the extension of service clause (FAR 52.217-8) is exercised, it will be on the exact same rates and terms, other than length of performance, as the base or option period being extended.
Please note, the SCA price adjustment clause, 52.222-43 (also applicable to contracts under a CBA), at paragraph (b), states, “The Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include any allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.“ “This clause” refers to price adjustments for increased costs based on changes in the wages & fringe benefits, and any related changes in social security and unemployment taxes, and workers compensation insurance covered by wage determinations and CBA adjustments. All offerors should take this into account when submitting a price proposal. Based on this clause, there should not be an escalation added to the out years for the aforementioned costs. Any other escalation shall be based on other factors, which could include anticipated costs in other overhead expenses, materials, and profit.
