FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

(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:

mailto:alissa.turner@us.af.mil mailto:john.meehan.4@us.af.mil mailto:alissa.turner@us.af.mil mailto:justin.hodge.4@us.af.mil mailto:alissa.turner@us.af.mil http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/far2afmcfars/fardfars/far/52_000.htm#P1045_147386 http://www.sam.gov/

(i) past performance;

(ii) price

PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR EVALUATION

The Government will conduct a Past Performance evaluation of all offers. Offers must receive a Past Performance rating of Acceptable to be evaluated for Price and be eligible for award.

(1) Ratings. The Past Performance factor will receive one of the ratings described below.

(2) Evaluation Process. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the solicitation requirements. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance proposal volume and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to: the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS); Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS); Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and interviews/questionnaires with Program Managers, Contracting Officers and Fee Determining Officials, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and commercial sources.

(i) Recency Assessment

An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past 3years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated further.

PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(ii) Relevancy Assessment

The Government will conduct an evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine whether the products provided/services performed under those contracts are relevant.

The Government will use the following relevancy definitions when assessing recent, relevant contracts:

RELEVANCY RATINGS

Rating Definition

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar 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.

Past performance information that is determined to be “Not Relevant” will not be evaluated further.

(iii) Performance Quality Assessment

The Government will consider the performance quality of recent, relevant efforts (how well the contractor performed on the contracts). The Government will use the following quality levels when assessing recent, relevant efforts:

PERFORMANCE QUALITY ASSESSMENT

Quality Assessment/Color Description

Satisfactory During the contract period, contractor performance is substantially meeting (or substantially met) contract requirements. For any problems encountered, contractor took effective corrective action.

Unsatisfactory During the contract period, contractor performance is not meeting (or did not meet) some contract requirements. For problems encountered, corrective action appeared only marginally effective, not effective, or not fully implemented. Customer involvement was required.

Not Available Quality and/or performance information is not available.

(3) Assigning Ratings. As a result of the relevancy and performance quality assessments of the recent contracts evaluated, offerors will receive an integrated Past Performance rating at the factor level (see Performance Evaluation Ratings). More recent performance will have a greater impact on the Past Performance rating than less recent effort.

(4) Past Performance Questionnaire. The following categories will be rated by past offerors:

These categories will be rated by past offerors based on the following ratings:

TABLE 2 – Performance Rating Definitions

Rating Description

Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government's benefit.

The element being assessed was accomplished with no problems.

Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government's benefit.

The element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. The element being assessed contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions.

Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The element being assessed contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective

Not Rated Not applicable or has no history.

Ratings, Satisfactory, Very Good, Exceptional and Not Rated will receive a Past Performance Evaluation Rating of Acceptable. Ratings Marginal and Unsatisfactory will receive a Past Performance Evaluation Rating of Acceptable.

PRICE FACTOR EVALUATION

TABLE 1- Definition of Services to be evaluated

Rating Description

Quality of Service

Assessment based on the contractor’s conformance to contract requirements, specifications and standards of good workmanship (e.g., commonly accepted technical, professional, environmental, or safety and health standards).

Schedule Assessment based on the timeliness of the contractor against the completion of the contract, task orders, milestones, delivery schedules, and administrative requirements (e.g., efforts that contribute to or affect the schedule variance).

Business Relations

Assessment based on the integration and coordination of all activity needed to execute the contract, specifically the timeliness, completeness and quality of problem identification, corrective action plans, proposal submittals, the contractor’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior (to include timely identification of issues in controversy), customer satisfaction, timely award and management of subcontracts.

The Government will then rank all offers with an Acceptable Past Performance rating by Price.

Each offer with an Acceptable Past Performance rating will be evaluated on the total price of all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) contained in the schedule. The Government will evaluate each offer with an Acceptable Past Performance rating by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Failure to include all prices will exclude the Offeror from further consideration for award.

Offerors are cautioned against submitting a materially unbalanced offer. The Government shall analyze Offers to determine if they are unbalanced with respect to prices for separate items.

Offers that are determined to be materially unbalanced may be rejected.

An offer is mathematically unbalanced if it is based on prices which are significantly less than the price for some line items and significantly overstated in relation to the price for others. An offer is materially unbalanced if it is mathematically unbalanced and if there is a reasonable doubt that the offer would result in the lowest overall cost to the Government, even though it is the lowest evaluated offer; or, the offer is so grossly unbalanced that its acceptance would be tantamount to allowing an advance payment.

(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.

52.237-1 -- Site Visit (Apr 1984)

Offerors or quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.
