1.0 ADDENDA TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION

1.1 SOURCE SELECTION METHOD - BEST VALUE

(a) Trade-off Process.

Non-Price Factors and Price: Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, non-price factors and price considered.

The offer selected as best value will represent the best trade-off to the Government among past performance, small business participation, and price. Past Performance is more important than small business participation, but when combined non-price factors will be significantly more important than price. The Government will determine best value on the basis of an assessment of the following factors:

(1) Past Performance Factor – The Government will evaluate past performance in accordance with the Past Performance Proposal and Evaluation clause in this attachment.

(2) Small Business Participation Factor – The Government will evaluate small business participation in accordance with the Small Business Participation Proposal and Evaluation clause in this attachment.

(3) Price Factor – The Government will evaluate the offered prices for price reasonableness in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.404-1.

(b) Options.

(1) 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 total evaluated price will be for the base period and any option periods, plus an additional twenty percent of the value of the last priced performance period in the price schedule. This additional sum is for evaluation purposes only to address the possible use of FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, for a period not to exceed 6 months.

(2) Please note that if the 52.217-8 option is exercised, the applicable unit prices for the option will be the same as the immediately preceding period of performance. Therefore, if the option under FAR 52.217-8 is exercised prior to the end of the base period, the unit prices from the base period will be used during the extension period. If the option under FAR 52.217-8 is exercised prior to the end of any option period, the unit prices from the applicable option period will be used during the extension period.

(3) 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).

1.2 PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

(a) The Government will conduct a Performance Confidence Assessment for each offeror based upon submitted current, relevant past performance information (PPI), consisting of past performance references, as it relates to the expectation of the offeror being able to successfully perform the requirement. There are two aspects to this evaluation. One, the determination of relevance to this requirement in scope, magnitude and complexity; and two, how well the offeror performed on their contracts. Past performance will be rated on an adjectival scale. Thus, an offeror with a higher confidence assessment rating for past performance will have a higher expectation of meeting the solicitation requirements than a firm with a lower confidence assessment rating. The Government’s subjective evaluation of the overall quality of an offeror’s submitted PPI will be a factor in determining the relative merits of the offeror’s proposal and in selecting for award the offeror whose proposal is considered the best value to the Government based upon the importance of the evaluation factors identified elsewhere in this solicitation.

(b) In investigating an offeror’s past performance, the Government may consider information in the offeror’s proposal and/or readily available information obtained from other sources, including but not limited to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), DLA Disposition Services personnel administering DLA Disposition Services

Attachment 6 SP4500-20-R-0013 Page 2 of 2 contract references provided by the offeror, past and present customers and their employees, other government agencies, including state and local agencies, consumer protection organizations and better business bureaus; former subcontractors; and others who may have useful information.

(c) Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. This is a matter of judgement. With regard to any performance deficiencies, the offeror’s response, or lack thereof, will be taken into consideration.

(d) An offeror that has no identifiable record of performance of a same or similar nature to the current requirement may be considered by the Government to have no relevant past performance. In the case of an offeror without an identifiable record of past performance or for whom information on past performance is unavailable (this may include PPI identified by an offeror in their past performance proposal for which a corresponding PPI questionnaire was not received by the Government), the offeror may not be assessed either favorably or unfavorably on Performance Confidence, as the degree of confidence to the Government cannot be adequately determined and is therefore unknown.
