Addendum to 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

A. The Government intends to evaluate offers and issue a firm fixed price contract based on the initial offers received, utilizing the procedures found at FAR 13.106-2 Evaluation of quotations or offers. The Government reserves the right to request revised offers from, or negotiate final contract terms with, one or more, but not all, Offerors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest and issue a contract to other than the Offeror with the lowest priced offer.

B. Incomplete offers may be considered non-responsive and removed from further consideration. Offers shall be clearly and concisely written as well as being neat, indexed (cross-indexed as appropriate) and logically assembled.

All pages of each part shall be appropriately numbered and identified with the name of the offeror, the date, and the solicitation number. Complete offers shall include all necessary information dictated in the Addendum to 52.212-1

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

C. BASIS FOR AWARD.

This is a Best Value procurement. The Government may elect to award to other than the lowest price, based on the evaluation of the non-price factors and the best value to the Government. The Government will not use the formal source selection procedures described in FAR part 15. The Government will evaluate offers utilizing the procedures of FAR 13.106-2 Evaluation of quotations or offers. This will be a firm fixed price contract.

The Government will review offers to determine if they are compliant with the solicitation requirements. A compliant offer is one that meets all of the terms, conditions, and specifications in the solicitation. The Offeror shall provide all documents listed and shall comply with all RFQ instructions for the offer to be considered “compliant” with this solicitation. The Government may consider an Offeror ineligible for award if any section was not submitted by the required date and time, is incomplete (missing items, signatures, etc.), or does not comply with format requirements.

HT940625QE017 RFQ – Shaw AFB Linen Rental and Laundering Page | 6

Only offers that are found to be Technically Acceptable under all Technical Capability subfactors will be evaluated for Past Performance relevancy and recency, Price fairness and reasonableness, completeness, and balance, and business summary completeness.

Although the Government anticipates awarding without interchanges, the Government reserves the right to, and may conduct interchanges with some, none, or all Offerors at its discretion. Interchanges may be limited for purposes of efficiency. Therefore, the offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms and conditions.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Evaluation of Capability will be based on the information provided in the quote. Documentation submitted in the quote shall be evaluated to determine that the proposed service/equipment meets or exceeds the Governments minimum required specifications. Failure to clearly and unambiguously demonstrate this will result in an “unacceptable” rating.

FACTOR 1: BUSINESS SUMMARY

FACTOR 2: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

FACTOR 4: PRICE

FACTOR 1 – BUSINESS SUMMARY

Evaluation of this factor will be for completeness.

Completeness: The business summary will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the required elements have been addressed. A business summary that fails to address all required elements may be excluded from further consideration.

FACTOR 2 – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

Evaluation of this factor is a subjective evaluation of the vendor's demonstrated resources, capability, and methods to meet all requirements. This factor will be evaluated on an Acceptable /Unacceptable basis. The vendor’s offer will be evaluated to determine whether the proposed capability approach demonstrates a clear and unambiguous understanding and a demonstrated ability to meet the minimum requirements. Failure to demonstrate a clear and unambiguous capability approach to meeting the requirements will result in an “Unacceptable” rating for this factor.

The offeror’s Factor 2 submittal will be evaluated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis as described in the table below:

Technical Rating Description Acceptable Submittal clearly meets the minimum requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding.

Unacceptable

Submittal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding.

HT940625QE017 RFQ – Shaw AFB Linen Rental and Laundering Page | 7

FACTOR 3 - PAST PERFORMANCE

Offerors will be assigned an overall Performance Confidence Assessment (PCA), see below, which is based on an integrated assessment of the Offeror’s relevant and recent past performance. The resulting PCA represents an overall evaluation of Offeror performance. Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and, as a result, will receive a "Neutral Confidence" rating for the Past Performance factor.

The Government reserves the right to use both information provided from Offerors as well as information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, CPARS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Contracting Officers Representatives, and commercial sources and/or non-Government sources.

Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information contained in the Offeror’s submittals will be made to determine if it is recent. Submitted documentation must demonstrate that the offeror is or has been performing within the past three (3) years prior to the closing date of this solicitation.

Relevancy Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is relevant. To be relevant, the submitted documentation must be for efforts that involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexity that the solicitation requires.

The Government will use the following relevancy definitions/ratings when assessing relevant past performance.

Adjectival Rating Description

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Neutral No relevant performance record is available, or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful relevancy assessment can be reasonably assigned.

Performance Confidence Assessment (PCA): The Government will consider the performance quality of relevant and recent efforts and assign an overall PCA. Those rated neutral for relevancy will receive a neutral confidence PCA. Offerors with experience providing the same services required by this solicitation may weigh more heavily than less relevant, less recent past performance. The confidence ratings noted in the table below will be used. The performance quality of the work performed will be assessed using the PPQ, CPARS report and/or contact with the POC listed on the submittal to obtain information regarding past performance as it relates to providing the services required under this solicitation. Offerors whose past performance is rated limited or no confidence will not be evaluated further.

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

RATING DESCRIPTION

SUBSTANTIAL

CONFIDENCE

Based on the Offeror’s relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

SATISFACTORY

CONFIDENCE

Based on the Offeror’s relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

LIMITED

CONFIDENCE

Based on the Offeror’s relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

NO

CONFIDENCE

Based on the Offeror’s relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

NEUTRAL

CONFIDENCE

No relevant performance record is available, or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

FACTOR 3 – PRICE

The Government will evaluate price for Reasonableness and Completeness. Prices must be entirely compatible with the capability portion of the offer.

Reasonableness: For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b). Some techniques are, but are not limited to, comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation and/or comparison of proposed prices with the Independent Government Cost Estimate. Price must be determined fair and reasonable.

Completeness: The Offeror’s pricing sheet will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The Offeror’s proposed price and other information will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the evaluation criteria and between the initial offer and any revisions thereto. The review will determine the adequacy of the Offeror’s submission in addressing and fulfilling the solicitation requirements.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Because FAR 52.217-8 provides that the Government may exercise the Option to Extend Services at the rates specified in the contract, for purposes of evaluating the Option to Extend Services, the Contracting Officer will consider the prices submitted to be binding should the Option to Extend be exercised.

The Government does not intend to conduct a price realism analysis unless the Contracting Officer determines it necessary for such purposes as determining whether an Offeror’s low price reflects a lack of understanding of the contract requirements or assessing the Offeror’s ability to perform in accordance with the PWS.
