FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation--Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (NOV2021)

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 (Technical): Accreditation Submit documentation demonstrating that the offeror's curriculum will lead to nine (9) graduate level academic degree credits transferable to a regionally accredited academic institution to pursue further graduate education. Provide a point of contact from the proposed academic institution with whom the government may verify the information submitted with the institution proposed to provide the graduate level academic credits. This submission is limited to five (5) pages.

An offer will be determined to be awardable if the offeror is, or is teamed with, an academic institution identified by the US Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and through the documentation the offer submits, and/or through its own verification, the government finds the offeror's curriculum will lead to nine (9) graduate level academic credits. An offer will be considered un-awardable if the curriculum does not lead to nine (9) graduate level academic credits, or the offeror does not, or is not teamed with, an academic institution identified by the US Department of Education [https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home] or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) [https://www.chea.org/directories].

Factor 2 (Past Performance): Past Performance Submit curriculum vitae for the individual(s) who will lead the program for the offeror and teach any graduate level classes with a description of the role they will fulfill. Curriculum vitae(s) should highlight individuals' training, knowledge, and instruction experience which demonstrate their capability to successfully perform the requirements of the PWS in their stated roles. This submission is limited to two (2) pages per individual, or ten (10) pages in total (whichever is less). Curriculum vitae may be provided for no more than ten (10) individuals.

Where an individual's curriculum vitae includes instruction experience in support of a leadership development program similar to the solicited requirement, provide no more than one page per individual (that does not count against page limitation stated above) with the following information:

Customer Name Period of Performance Contract Value - Contract Number General Description of the Scope Description of the work performed by the individual A customer point of contact that will allow for independent verification of the experience provided.

The government will evaluate the past performance of the offeror's proposed program leaders in whole, through all curriculum vitae submitted. Offerors who demonstrate a greater breadth and depth of past performance similar to the solicited requirement will be evaluated more favorably under this factor.

Factor 3 (Technical): Work Plan Submit a work plan demonstrating how the offeror will develop and conduct the mandatory program elements of the PWS (ref. PWS paragraph 1.4), including the following:

An overall schedule for the program for the initial cohort (2025-2026) A narrative describing the phasing of the program - A description of the training/education to be provided in each phase A discussion of how the offeror anticipates coordinating the logistics required for each phase A discussion of the location of the offeror's planned facility for all classroom sessions within the Leadership Development Program (LDP) A discussion of how the instruction will build and integrate with other instruction and progress the students' development of their competencies in leadership and knowledge of U.S. National Policy Process in the classroom and how this will be supplemented by the trip to Washington DC, and culminate in the CAPSTONE project

A discussion of how the knowledge gained in speechcraft/Toastmasters and mentor program will be integrated throughout the LDP instruction.

This submission is limited to ten (10) pages.

Factor 4: Price

Submit price information in accordance with the bid schedule of the solicitation.

Technical Factor 1 will be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable. Technical Factor 2, Experience, and Technical Factor 3, Work Plan, are of approximately equal importance to each other, and when combined, are more important than price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation--Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (NOV2021)

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 (Technical): Accreditation Submit documentation demonstrating that the offeror's curriculum will lead to nine (9) graduate level academic degree credits transferable to a regionally accredited academic institution to pursue further graduate education. Provide a point of contact from the proposed academic institution with whom the government may verify the information submitted with the institution proposed to provide the graduate level academic credits. This submission is limited to five (5) pages.

An offer will be determined to be awardable if the offeror is, or is teamed with, an academic institution identified by the US Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and through the documentation the offer submits, and/or through its own verification, the government finds the offeror's curriculum will lead to nine (9) graduate level academic credits. An offer will be considered un-awardable if the curriculum does not lead to nine (9) graduate level academic credits, or the offeror does not, or is not teamed with, an academic institution identified by the US Department of Education [https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home] or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) [https://www.chea.org /directories].

Factor 2 (Past Performance): Past Performance Submit curriculum vitae for the individual(s) who will lead the program for the offeror and teach any graduate level classes with a description of the role they will fulfill. Curriculum vitae(s) should highlight individuals' training, knowledge, and instruction experience which demonstrate their capability to successfully perform the requirements of the PWS in their stated roles. This submission is limited to two (2) pages per individual, or ten (10) pages in total (whichever is less). Curriculum vitae may be provided for no more than ten (10) individuals.

Where an individual's curriculum vitae includes instruction experience in support of a leadership development program similar to the solicited requirement, provide no more than one page per individual (that does not count against page limitation stated above) with the following information:

Customer Name Period of Performance Contract Value - Contract Number General Description of the Scope Description of the work performed by the individual A customer point of contact that will allow for independent verification of the experience provided.

The government will evaluate the past performance of the offeror's proposed program leaders in whole, through all curriculum vitae submitted. Offerors who demonstrate a greater breadth and depth of past performance similar to the solicited requirement will be evaluated more favorably under this factor.

Factor 3 (Technical): Work Plan Submit a work plan demonstrating how the offeror will develop and conduct the mandatory program elements of the PWS (ref. PWS paragraph 1.4), including the following:

An overall schedule for the program for the initial cohort (2025-2026) A narrative describing the phasing of the program - A description of the training/education to be provided in each phase A discussion of how the offeror anticipates coordinating the logistics required for each phase A discussion of the location of the offeror's planned facility for all classroom sessions within the Leadership Development Program (LDP)

A discussion of how the instruction will build and integrate with other instruction and progress the students' development of their competencies in leadership and knowledge of U.S. National Policy Process in the classroom and how this will be supplemented by the trip to Washington DC, and culminate in the CAPSTONE project A discussion of how the knowledge gained in speechcraft/Toastmasters and mentor program will be integrated throughout the LDP instruction.

This submission is limited to ten (10) pages.

Factor 4: Price

Submit price information in accordance with the bid schedule of the solicitation.

Technical Factor 1 will be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable. Technical Factor 2, Experience, and Technical Factor 3, Work Plan, are of approximately equal importance to each other, and when combined, are more important than price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.
