SIR DTFAAC-17-R-00013

PART IV - SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1 Introduction

(f) Cost/Price proposals will be reviewed for mathematical accuracy for the base period and all options.

(g) The price/cost evaluation team will not have access to technical proposals during the initial detailed evaluation. Likewise, the technical evaluation team will not have access to price/cost proposals. After completion of the initial detailed evaluation, the price evaluation team may have access to the other teams' proposals only as authorized by the Contracting Officer.

(h) The offer that provides the overall best value to the FAA will be selected. The successful offer may not necessarily be the lowest priced offer. Technical considerations are significantly more important than cost/price. The relative importance of cost will increase as the differences in technical scores decrease.

(i) Because several proposals are anticipated, uniformity of proposals is essential to assure a fair and accurate assessment of each offer. All proposals must be submitted in accordance with Section L and must conform to all the terms and conditions of the SIR. Failure to conform to all requirements expressed may be cause for rejection without further evaluation or discussion.

(j) Additional information may be requested from the Offeror whose proposal the FAA considers to represent the overall best value. The information may clarify or supplement, but not basically change the proposal as submitted. The FAA reserves the right to award a contract based on initial offers received, without discussions or negotiations. For this reason, each initial offer should be submitted on the most favorable terms from the standpoint of technical and price/cost.

M.2 Technical Evaluation

TECHNICAL EVALUATION RATING. TET members will rate using a numerical rating scale corresponding to a 5-point scale (4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.0). For the final rating, any significant deviations will be reconciled and a consensus rating determined. The numerical ratings descriptions are provided for each factor or sub factor as applicable in evaluations. If documentation is not provided to support the evaluation of a factor or sub-factor then that factor or sub-factor will receive a 0.0 rating.

A. EVALUATION FACTORS

EVALUATION.

Factor 1 — Relevant Past Performance and Experience.

Purpose: The offeror must demonstrate/possess relevant past performance and experience in Program Management, Logistics, Contractor Depot Logistics Support, and Training, as described in Section-C, Statement of Work. The offeror must demonstrate they possess the in-house resources to provide these services on multi-year supply contracts.

Instruction: A distinction must be made between past performance and experience. Past performance represents “how well” an offeror accomplished the effort. Experience simply means an offeror has “done it.” Of additional importance is that past performance and experience must be current and relevant as well as similar in scope (effort) and complexity to that described in the SIR/SOW. As a general rule, the TET should refer often to the instructions provided at Section L of the SIR. Past and present performance and experience shall be understood to mean within the previous 8 years from the SIR release date. While the Past Performance questionnaire (Attachment L.2 to Section L of the SIR) when completed by government and industry recipients of the offeror’s services is a significant means of gathering information on performance (how well did the contractor perform past experience) it must not necessarily be accepted at face value. Individual biases or differences in interpretation and application of the rating scale (i.e., 0 to 4) may occur. Accordingly, a simple roll up of the scores received through completed questionnaires will not likely provide a complete picture of an offeror’s past performance and experience. Additional information and follow-up may be required.

Key to an effective evaluation will involve an initial determination of relevancy. The following criteria may assist in the TET’s determination of relevancy.

Very Relevant. Involved the magnitude of effort and complexities that are essentially what the SIR requires and are currently ongoing or were completed within the last eight (8) years.

SIRSemi-Relevant. Involved less magnitude of effort and complexities, including some of what this SIR requires and were completed within the last eight (8) years.

Not Relevant. Did not involve any aspects of above or was not within the timeframe requested.

Where an offeror’s past and present performance and experience would lend itself, contracts should be considered in aggregate in determining relevancy. For example, an offeror’s work experience on 3 past/present contracts may represent only a semi-relevant technical effort, when each contract is considered as a stand-alone effort. However, when said contracts are performed currently (in part or in whole) and are assessed in aggregate, the work may more accurately reflect a very relevant effort.

(Notes: A negative rating originating from completed Past Performance Questionnaires which results in a score below “2” for any factor, subfactor or element must be referred to the respective offeror for rebuttal opportunity).

Sub Factor 2 – Past Performance Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) provide customer feedback on Past Experience demonstrated in vendor’s attachment L.1 past experience history. Each attachment L.1 past experience history must have an accompanying Attachment L.2 PPQ. If no PPQs are submitted for any Attachment L.1 the vendor will be assigned a neutral rating of “2”. The TET may conduct a due diligence review of vendor’s customers identified on the PPQ. The TET may use information from other sources having knowledge of the vendor’s performance. A negative rating originating from completed PPQ which results in a score below “2”, for any factor or sub factor, will be referred to the respective vendor for rebuttal opportunity. The vendor’s customers will provide past performance information on Section-L, Attachment L.2 documents. This PPQ (L.2) is the source material for the TET.
