Quoters that fail to adhere to the submittal requirements will be determined non-responsive and will be considered ineligible for award.

Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

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

b. Past Performance: The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirement. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performing custodial/janitorial services that meets the contract requirements. Recent or relevant work is defined as similar work in size and scope within the past four (4) years.

NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ): The quoter is required to submit two (2) PPQs with an overall rating of satisfactory or higher to be considered eligible for award. Additional PPQs submitted for assessment will be discarded and not considered for evaluation. The Contracting Officer may use additional data obtained from any available sources such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and personal knowledge to assess the contractor’s likelihood of success in performing the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by those offerors’ record of past performance.

If for any reason, the contractor does NOT have recent or relevant past performance, the quoter is still required to submit a PPQ with a brief narrative explaining “No Recent or Relevant Past Performance”. In the case of a quoter without a record of recent or 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.

Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown or (“neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable”.

Table 2. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating 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 has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

A contractor’s past performance rating may be used at the Contracting Officer’s discretion to make an overall determination of the level of confidence the government has in the contractor’s capability to perform the service. The Contracting Officer may determine that a “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating is worth more than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating as stated in the evaluation

Adjectival Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/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 recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort

Neutral Confidence No recent/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.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror' s recent/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 recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

c. Price: A Firm Fixed Price (FFP) shall be submitted for this effort. The vendor will provide pricing for each line item listed in the attached Priced Schedule (Bid Sheet). The Government will evaluate all aspects of the price proposal for reasonableness. Proposals found to be unreasonable may be rejected on that basis.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATIONOF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive or negative.
