a. The government will conduct a present/past performance evaluation that examines an offeror's recent, relevant present/past performance record to assess the government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to perform as proposed. The present/past performance evaluation will consider the number and severity of problems, the effectiveness of any corrective actions taken, and the offeror's overall performance record.

Potential sources of performance data are government sources such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) Federal Awardees Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition, interviews with program managers, contracting officers or other sources known to the government and/or non-government sources. Additionally, data from previous source selections or contractor capability assessments should be used if the data is recent and relevant.

c. Performance Questionnaires: The offeror will provide the government furnished questionnaire (“Past Performance Questionnaire”) to those federal agencies and commercial customers whose performances are deemed recent and direct them to return the completed questionnaires to the point of contact listed on the questionnaire. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have recent, relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.

BASIS FOR AWARD -- Addendum to RFO Clause 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Evaluation – Commercial Items and Commercial Services

1. This competitive acquisition will be conducted in accordance with RFO Part 12. Award shall be made to a single contractor. Selection shall be made on a "Partial Tradeoff" basis. Award will be made to the Offeror providing the combination most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors as defined in this solicitation. This selection approach allows for tradeoffs between the past performance, and price/cost factors. Award will be made to the Offeror who gives the Government the greatest confidence that they will best meet or exceed the requirements and provide affordability. This may result in an award to an Offeror with a higher rated past performance and a higher-priced proposal, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Contracting Officer determines that the past performance of the higher-priced offer outweighs the price difference.

While the entire evaluation team strives for maximum objectivity; the selection process is subjective by nature and professional judgment is implicit throughout the tradeoff process. Ultimately, the contract will be awarded to the Offeror whose proposal, based upon the evaluation criteria, represents the best value to the Government.

2. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

3. Award shall be made to a single contractor. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the government and meets all requirements outlined in the SOO and this solicitation.

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. The relative importance of each factor is as follows: Technical submission, Past Performance, and Price are listed in descending order of their importance with Factors 1(Technical Submission) and 2 (Past performance) being considered significantly more important than Factor 3 (Price).

Factor 1- TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

The Government will evaluate offers to determine if the offer meets the requirements of the SOO to determine technical acceptability. Offers determined to be unacceptable will not be evaluated further.

Adjectival Rating Description

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable The proposal meets the requirements of the SOO and solicitation.

Unacceptable The proposal does not meet the requirements of the SOO and the solicitation.

Factor 2- PAST PERFORMANCE

The Past Performance evaluation results in an integrated assessment of the Offerors’ probability of meeting the SOO requirements and the assignment of an overall rating (Table 2) based on consideration of the Offeror's recent, relevant and quality past performance based on the Offeror's submittals (Project Summaries and PPQs) and other information.

The Government will use the following definitions/ratings in Table 2 when making an overall Performance Confidence Assessment (PCA).

Table 2. Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Method

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.

Table 3. Relevancy Ratings

Adjectival Rating

Description

Very Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the 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.

The criteria is met when the Offeror:

- Demonstrates recent, relevant and quality past performance.

- Recent past performance is defined as "A portion or all work completed within three (3) years from the date of solicitation Issuance.".

- Relevant past performance is defined as those contracts that provide the same or comparable services, to a similar magnitude of the subject requirement, as described in the SOO to the government or commercial organizations. A minimum of three (3) and no more than five (5) Past Performance Questionnaires shall be submitted.

Evaluation Process

This factor is assessed with an overall performance confidence assessment (PCA) rating (Table 2) which is based on an integrated assessment of the Offerors’ recent, relevant and quality past performance.

The resulting performance confidence assessment rating is determined at the factor level and represents an overall evaluation of contractor performance. Offerors without a record of recent, relevant and quality 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.

More relevant past performance record may receive a higher confidence rating and be considered more favorably than a less relevant record of favorable performance. A strong record of relevant past performance will be considered more advantageous to the Government than a "Neutral Confidence" rating.

Factor 3- PRICE

1. Proposals shall include prices for each line item listed and should include a total price for the base year and all option years, in order that proposals may be properly evaluated. Offers shall also include the completed SF 1449 and any amendments.

2. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN). In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the total CLIN amount, the unit price will be held as the intended price multiplied by the number of units.

If the offeror shows only the total amount but fails to submit a unit price, the total CLIN amount divided by the quantity will be held as the intended price.

3. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

4. The Past Performance Information Retrieval System and Federal Awardee Performance & Integrity Information Systems as well any other Government-sponsored information available may be utilized to help make a responsibility determination in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.104.

5. Failure to provide the requested information may deem the proposal Unacceptable and may not be eligible for award.

Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements-Notice and Representation (Feb 2026) (Deviation 2026-O0038)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision-

Foreign person means any person other than a United States person.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States. For purposes of the prior sentence, a foreign country does not include an outlying area of the United States.

United States person as defined in 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(30) means

(ii) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(iii) A domestic partnership;

(iv) A domestic corporation;

(v) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(vi) Any trust if-

(A) A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and

(B) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(d) Unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specified Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. See 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7.

(e) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). The Offeror may claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(f) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that

(1) It [ ] is [ ] is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that-I am claiming on the IRS Form W- 14 [ ] a full exemption, or [ ] partial or no exemption [Offeror must select one] from the excise tax.

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then-

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(6) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(7) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the IRS as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts.
