The Government shall use the following Adjectival Ratings to evaluate Non – Price Factor 1: Technical Capability and Contractor Qualifications:

Factor 1: Technical Capability and Contractor Qualifications Adjectival Ratings

Adjectival Rating

Description

Exceptional Exceeds specified minimum performance or technical requirements in a way beneficial to the Government.

Acceptable Meets specified minimum performance or technical requirements.

Marginal There is doubt regarding whether an aspect of the quote meets a specified minimum performance or technical requirement, but any such uncertainty is correctable.

Unacceptable Fails to meet specified minimum performance or technical requirements. The quote has one or more deficiencies and is not awardable.

EVALUATION OF NON-PRICE FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government will evaluate the Quoter’s Past Performance using an assessment based on information obtained via any method the Contracting Officer deems necessary. The Government reserves the right to retrieve and evaluate past performance from other sources. Sources may include:

• Using information provided on Attachment B: Past Performance / Project References

• Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) – a Governmentwide Database

• System for Award Management (SAM.gov)

• Other sources as needed

The Government shall use the following Confidence Ratings to evaluate the Non-Price Factor 2: Past Performance:

Factor 2: Past Performance Confidence Ratings

Rating Description

High Confidence The Government has high confidence the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort based on the analysis of the Quoter’s past performance record.

Vessel Removal and Disposal Services Page 19 of 47

Moderate Confidence

The Government has confidence the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort based on the analysis of the Quoter’s past performance record.

Low Confidence The Government has minimal confidence the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort based on the analysis of the Quoter’s past performance record.

Neutral No significant performance record is identified.

EVALUATION OF PRICE FACTOR: PRICE QUOTE

The Government will evaluate the reasonableness of the Quoter’s Price quote, in part, to determine the overall best value. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by reviewing total price and Boat A and Boat B subtotals. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if prices are significantly unbalanced.

The Price quote will be evaluated to ensure that quoted prices are fair and reasonable. The Price Factor will not receive an adjectival rating. Price will be evaluated based on the Quoter’s price assumptions, an analysis of the overall price and components of the overall price, and for price reasonableness. The price quote will be evaluated separately from the Technical Quote.

The Government intends to make a single award for the requirement. Submission of a quote implies the Contractor agrees to the terms and conditions in this document.

The Government reserves the right to not issue an award from this RFQ. This is an RFQ only and in no way obligates the Government to award a Purchase Order or to reimburse the Contractor for any costs incurred in preparing the response to this RFQ.
