Quotations that do not contain the information requested for Factor two (2) risk rejection. In the case of Offerors that represent newly formed entities, or an Offeror without any recent and relevant past performance history, past performance will be evaluated as “Neutral.” If an Offeror has no past performance history, the Offeror must affirmatively state that it possesses no past performance history.

b. Evaluation: The Past Performance evaluation will assess an Offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the RFQ’s requirements as indicated by that Offeror’s record of past performance.

The Offeror is cautioned that its failure to provide the location of its facility may result in its proposal being found unacceptable under the provisions of the terms of this Request for Quote.

b. Evaluation: 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 three (3) page limit supporting the Offerors price. Failure to quote pricing on individual line items may result in a quote being excluded from further consideration.

The total evaluated price of the Offeror will be determined by totaling the proposed prices of all of the items in attachment one (1), plus any Foreseeable costs as described below.

FORESEEABLE COSTS: The Contracting Officer will evaluate certain foreseeable costs that will vary with the location of the Offeror’s facility. Costs will be calculated based on the Offeror’s facility location and these costs will be added, for the purposes of evaluation only, to the Offeror’s overall price.

The elements of foreseeable costs consist of the following:

1. Per Diem Cost: Student per diem costs –

a. Per Diem- There will be a per diem expense for all calendar days to support USCG Personnel while in the city of the place of contract performance, to be determined in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR).
