52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items

(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, mailto:leila.sulaimon@us.af.mil mailto:ramon.jimenez.7@us.af.mil price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1) Price

2) Technical

3) Past Performance

Evaluation Process

First, the Government will arrange all quotes conforming to the solicitation by Total Evaluated Price (TEP) from lowest to highest. Prices will be evaluated (in order by price) using the price analysis techniques described below (Sec. (d)(i)(1)). If the lowest priced offerors price is determined to be unreasonable, the Government will deem that offeror ineligble for award and move on to the next lowest priced offeror.

Secondly, the Government will evaluate the technical approach of the eligible lowest priced offeror and assign a rating of either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”. If the eligible lowest priced offeror receives a technical rating of “Unacceptbale”, the Government evaluation team will evaluate the next eligible offeror (in order by price) until an “Acceptable” rating is achieved or until all offerors are evaluated. If all offerors are evaluated and no “Acceptable” technical rating is achieved, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with offerors (in order by eligible lowest price) and may award to a lower rated offeror.

If the eligible lowest priced offeror receives an “Acceptable” technical rating, the Government will evaluate that offerors past performance. If the eligible lowest priced offeror is evaluated to have an “Acceptable” past performance rating, award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. If the eligible lowest priced offeror is determined to have an “Unacceptable” past performance rating, the Government evaluation team will evaluate the next eligible lowest priced offeror (with an “Acceptable” technical rating) until an “Acceptable” past performance rating is achieved or until all offerors are evaluated. If all offerors are evaluated and no “Acceptable” past performance rating is achieved, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with offerors (in order by eligible lowest price) and may award to a lower rated offeror.

Price – Received quotes will be ranked and arranged by price (lowest first) before the Government assesses technical capability. For the purpose of evaluation and to establish price fair and reasonableness, the Government will evaluate an offerors quoted price utlizing one or more of the following techniques (IAW FAR 15.404-1(b)):

- Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation

- Comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid, whether by the Government or other than the Government, for the same or similar services

- Use of parametric estimating methods/application of rough yardsticks (such as dollars per pound or per horsepower, or other units) to highlight significant inconsistencies that warrant additional pricing inquiry

- Comparison with competitive published price lists, published market prices of commodities, similar indexes, and discount or rebate arrangements

- Comparison of proposed prices with independent Government cost estimates

- Comparison of proposed prices with prices obtained through market research for the same or similar items

- Analysis of data other than certified cost or pricing data (as defined at FAR 2.101) provided by the offeror

(1) The Government may deem any quote “ineligible”, when evaluation (IAW FAR 15.404-1(b)) of an offerors TEP refelcts an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity of the program (i.e. terms of program commitments, contract terms and conditions, or high or low in cost).

(2) Quoted prices shall be fully burdened inclusive of all direct and indirect costs (e.g., profit, fringe benefits, salary, indirect rates and overtime hours). The total of CLINs will be evaluated for completeness and accuracy, and used for total evaluated price. Round all prices up to the nearest penny.

Technical - All offerors must provide specific evidence (Volume II) that they are capable of fulfilling the requirement. Specific evidence must reflect a thorough understanding of the Statement of Work (SOW) and describe how the offeror will fulfill requirements of the SOW (Performance Plan). Technical criteria will be evaluated by a technical evaluation team and rated IAW Table A-1 (as provided below). Documents submitted in response to this solicitation must be fully responsive to and consistent with the following (if applicable): (1) Requirements of the solicitation; (2) Statement of Work (SOW); and (3) government standards and regulations pertaining to this requirement.

Past Performance - Offerors must provide (as part of Volume III) a list of no less/more than two (2), of the most recent and relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers. Offerors who provide less than 2 will be deemed non-responsive. Only the first 2 identified contracts will be evaluated. The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror’s performance deemed relevant to the requirements of the SOW. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel (if applicable) who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such

Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description

Acceptable Technical Approach clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation/SOW.

Unacceptable Technical Approach does not clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation/SOW.

http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/far2afmcfars/fardfars/far/02.htm#P10_603 information is relevant to this acquisition. The Government will use the following recency and relevancy definitions when assessing recent and relevant contracts:

(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 five (5) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will result in a past performance confidence rating of “Unacceptable”.

(ii) Relevancy Assessment: As described in Table A-2 below, the Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the provided products/services performed under those contracts relate to the SOW provided and assign a rating of “Relevant or “Not Relevant. A relevancy determination of the offeror’s past performance will be made based upon the aforementioned considerations, including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s).In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Past performance information deemed “Not Relevant” will result in a past performance confidence rating of “Unacceptable”.

TABLE A-2 - RELEVANCY ASSESSMENTS

Rating Definition RELEVANT Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities described in the SOW.

NOT RELEVANT Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities described in the SOW.

Past Performance will be evaluated using the ratings identified in Table A-3- Performance Confidence Assessments.

Technical and Past Performance, when combined, are equal to Price.

TABLE A-3 - PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s past performance provided as part of their quote, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s past performance provided as part of their quote, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(b) 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.
