(3) To be considered for this requirement, the offer must complete the Price Sheet. Fully complete the pricing on each CLIN as required. The contractor shall fill out a unit price, the extended price and a total price for all CLINs. Please ensure that all prices, extended prices and total prices are checked and verified for accuracy. DO NOT go two (2) digits beyond the decimal point.

(4) In accordance with FAR Part 9, Contractor Qualifications, past performance information will be used to determine whether an offeror has a satisfactory performance record to determine whether the offeror is a responsible contractor eligible for contract award.

An offeror determined to have an unsatisfactory performance record will be determined non-responsible, therefore, the offeror will not be eligible for contract award.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

The Government has a right to retrieve additional past performance information through the Government’s past performance databases, Federal Awardee Performance Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). Any active exclusions will deem the contractor non-responsible, therefore, the offeror will not be eligible for contract award.

52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items (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 3 – Price All proposals will be graded Acceptable or Unacceptable by (1) Technical based on an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating; (2) Past Performance based on an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating; and (3) Price, in order of their price rankings, lowest to highest. Evaluations will cease once an (1) Acceptable technical evaluation and (2) Acceptable past performance evaluation is identified, along with (3) lowest priced selected.

Factor 1 – Technical. To be determined technically acceptable the contractor shall provide a proposal that clearly meets the requirements of the Combo Synopsis and the Statement of Work.

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings:

Acceptable

The proposal clearly demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirements and describes an approach to demonstrating how the tasks will be accomplished in accordance with the outlined services summary table in the Statement of Work.

Factor 2 – Past Performance. The Government will evaluate the completion of the offeror’s past performance by reviewing the Past Performance Evaluation Survey (Attachment 3) and Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). If the Offeror has one (1) or more active FAPIIS exclusions, the overall rating is Unacceptable, and the proposal will not be evaluated further.

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings:

Factor 3 – Price. The Government shall conduct a price evaluation of offers receiving (1) an Acceptable Technical Rating and (2) an Acceptable Past Performance Rating. The Government will utilize an Abstract of Offers by arranging offers from lowest price to highest price. The Government will evaluate an offer by total price for CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001, 1002, 2001, 2002, 3001, 3002, 4001, 4002. The lowest priced offer receiving (1) an Acceptable Technical Rating and (2) an Acceptable Past Performance Rating will be awarded the service contract.

The Government anticipates ordering items based on historical usage (SOW Para 7.0 Historical Data) per order year of the contract and as set forth in each individual task order.

If only one offer is received, the Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair, reasonable, and realistic price. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness.

Contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9.1, whose offer conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this RFP) and is judged, based on the evaluation.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award one (1) contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the offeror’s best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer shall result in a binding contract utilizing the offeror’s Acceptable proposal.
