Technical Approach - Factor 1 Rating

RATING (SELECT

ONE):

DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(ii) Factor 2 Past Performance –

The past performance evaluation, the government will evaluate the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum performance requirements for this solicitation. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of recent and relevant past performance information that pertains to the work, products, and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. The offeror shall identify its past performance information as requested herein. The Past Performance Acceptability assessment is based on recency, relevancy, and quality of historical contracts.

The government will evaluate past performance to determine whether the offeror’s present or past performance is recent, and relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration shall be given to what aspects of an offeror’s contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. Common elements of relevancy include similarity of service / support, complexity, dollar value, contract type and degree of subcontract / teaming.

Second, the government will evaluate to determine how well an offeror performed on current or prior contracts. The past performance evaluation process gathers information from an offeror’s customers on how well the offeror performed on current or past contracts and includes a history of successful completion of projects, a history of producing high-quality reports and deliverables, a commitment to customer satisfaction, and a history of staying on schedule and within budget.

Past Performance information may be obtained from Past Performance Questionnaires, Federal Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Contractor Performance / Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), or other sources available to the Government. The Past Performance evaluation process does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror’s past performance on present / past contracts.

The Offeror may submit up to three (3) previously awarded contracts, awarded within the past four years as of the date of this solicitation’s posting; with at least one year of completed performance as of the date of this solicitation’s posting; and of similar scope, size, and complexity to the current requirement. For each of the submitted past performance examples, the Offeror shall provide:

i. The name of the project and the contract ID number.

ii. The name of the contracting agency or organization the contract was awarded by.

iii.The date of the contract award and the contract award amount in dollars.

iv.The date of the contract completion or expected contract completion.

v. A brief description of the scope of work for the contract in question.

vi.Identification of at least one point-of-contact at the organization that awarded the submitted contract, including (if applicable): the name of the point-of-contact; their current mailing address; phone number; and email address.

*Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). In this situation, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

SUBMITTALS

The Contractor shall provide all submittals required as stated in the solicitation coversheet. Please indicate if all forms are included (Please indicate ‘Yes’ or ‘No’).

Submit proposed standards and specifications to ensure compliance with section 4.0 of the SOW.

Submit a sample Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the solicited material.

Submit a sample Certificate of Analysis (COA) (from past deliveries) for the solicited materials.

Submit a proposed delivery schedule for the material acquired.

(iii) Factor 3 Price-

Offerors shall complete the Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN) pricing in Section B of the solicitation. The total evaluated price will be used for evaluation purposes. The Government will evaluate the proposal for price reasonableness using the price analysis techniques described in FAR 15.404.

The Government will evaluate price when the Government finds an Offeror acceptable under Factors 1 and 2. The Government will evaluate price in accordance with FAR 15.101-2(a) Lowest price technically acceptable source selection process and DLAD 15.405 Price negotiation. The offeror shall provide a price range for pounds between 213,000 kg and 402,391kg of indium for storage in the National Defense Stockpile (NDS Contract award will be made to the Factor 1 and Factor 2 “Acceptable” and responsible offeror, or offerors, with the lowest price. The Government reserves the right to award an amount less than the maximum quantity under CLIN 0001. The Government reserves the right to make more than one award. The Government also reserves the right to make no award.

Past Performance – Factor 2 Rating

RATING (SELECT ONE): DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below).

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

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.
