6 ORDERING PROCEDURES

6.1 GENERAL.

6.1.1 PAPERLESS INITIATIVES.

The US Air Force is fully committed to the Federal Government’s electronic commerce and paperless contracting initiatives. As such, it is anticipated that all documents associated with these Construction BOAs will be issued using electronic methods, i.e., the internet, email, etc. to the maximum extent practical. Contractors shall obtain and maintain capability to receive documents in this manner consistent with common commercial practices as technology evolves during the life of this agreement.

6.1.2 PRICING.

All Task Orders (TO) shall be issued on a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) basis Euro.

6.1.3 INTERCHANGES.

The Government intends to award without interchanges but reserves the right to conduct interchanges if deemed in the Government’s best interest. The purpose of interchanges are to correct deficiencies in a contractor’s proposal. Interchanges may result in an otherwise unacceptable proposal being made acceptable.

6.1.4 CLARIFICATIONS.

Clarifications are to resolve minor or clerical errors in a proposal. Clarifications can occur at any time during proposal evaluation but cannot correct significant deficiencies. Clarifications are not interchanges. Clarifications cannot result in an otherwise unacceptable proposal being made technically acceptable.

6.1.5 PROPOSAL PREPARATION COSTS.

The contractor shall assume all costs associated with preparation of proposals for TO awards and/or any modifications under this contract. The Government will not reimburse contractors for proposal preparations costs as a direct charge.

6.2 FAIR OPPORTUNITY.

The procedures for selecting contractors for task order awards under this agreement are governed RFO

16.703 and its supplements. For each task order, the ordering Contracting Officer (CO) will initiate the fair opportunity selection process by sending a Task Order Proposal Request (TOPR) letter and attachments (hereafter referred to as the TOPR package) to each of the BOA contractors via direct electronic communication, typically via email. The TOPR will include, at a minimum, the following information:

• Proposal due date/time and name/email address of POC, to submit proposal to;

• Project specific statement of work with location of construction;

• Other requirement documents such as drawings and/or appendices;

• Period of performance;

• Funding availability statement;

• Magnitude of construction;

• Any additional clauses that may be needed.

6.2.1 EXCEPTION TO FAIR OPPORTUNITY.

The ordering CO will provide all BOA holders a “fair opportunity” to be considered for each order unless one or more of the conditions below apply:

• Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

• Unusual and compelling urgency.

• Industrial mobilization; engineering, developmental, or research capability; or expert services.

• International agreement.

• Authorized or required by statute.

• National security.

• Public interest.

6.3 FAIR OPPORTUNITY SELECTION PROCESS.

Orders shall be placed on the basis of best value to the Government. Best value is achieved by use of one of the following procedures:

6.3.1 LOW PRICED TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA).

The LPTA procedure is where best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest total evaluated price. The term “technical”, as used herein, refers to all non-price factors other than past performance. More than one “technical” factor can be used and titled to the match the specific evaluation criteria appropriate for the construction project.

6.3.1.1. The TOPR shall describe the minimum requirements that will be used to determine the acceptability of the proposal.

6.3.1.2. All factors other than price are evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis. All factors must receive an acceptable rating to be considered technically acceptable and eligible for award.

6.3.1.3. All proposal that are determined technically acceptable are treated equally and will be ranked by total evaluated price from lowest to highest. Beginning with the lowest total evaluated priced offer, price will be evaluated using one or more of the proposal analysis techniques described in RFO15.404.

The proposed price will be evaluated for:

• Completeness. All price information required by the TOPR has been submitted, to include option pricing when applicable.

• Reasonableness. The degree to which the proposed prices compare to the price a reasonable prudent person would expect to incur for the same or similar services.

• Balance. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more price elements, including profit and overhead, is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques from RFO 15.404.

6.3.1.4. If an offeror’s proposal is rejected for any reason regarding price, the evaluation process will be repeated with the next lowest offeror until an offer is selected for award. The process will continue until the apparent successful offer is evaluated for price and is determined fair and reasonable and not unbalanced to the point that poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

6.3.2 TRADEOFFS.

This procedure permits tradeoffs between price and non-price evaluation factors and allows the Government to award the task order to other than the lowest priced offer.

6.3.2.1. If the Government decides to issue the TOPR as a tradeoff procedure, award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements of each construction project.

6.3.2.2. All evaluation factors and significant sub-factors that will affect contract award along with their relative importance shall be clearly stated in the TOPR. The following criteria may be evaluated, in addition to price:

• Past performance under this…
