The following have been modified:

52.212-1

52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (Apr 2014)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show --

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) “Remit to” address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender’s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)

(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers;

or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(End of Provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS-COMMERCIAL ITEMS

The following additions/changes are made to FAR 52.212-1:

1.0 Acquisition Strategy. This contract will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract utilizing Performance Price Tradeoff Source Selection Process wherein Technical capabilities will be assessed on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. The Government’s award decision will be based upon a tradeoff between past performance and price for Offerors whose Technical Proposals are considered acceptable. Past performance is approximately equal to price when being evaluated.

The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition.

Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested.

However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, Offerors may be required to submit information other than cost or pricing data to support a determination of price reasonableness.

A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support technical capability, past performance, and price in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Non-compliance with the instructions and solicitation may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

In the event of discrepancies between hard copies and electronic copies of a proposal, the hard copies will be used for evaluation.

3.6 Proposal Clarity. The proposal shall be clear and concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the Offeror’s capabilities and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The Offeror’s proposal shall not simply rephrase, reiterate, or restate the Government’s own language, but rather shall provide a convincing and clear rationale describing how it intends to fulfill the requirement. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities, facilities and experience, and will base the evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal.

4.7 Tab 1: Overview. Each proposal shall include an overview which summarizes the content of the past performance volume, to include a list of citations and disseminated Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ).

4.8 Tab 2: Citations. Each citation shall address a single contract that the Offeror believes demonstrates recent and relevant past performance (see para 4.9). Citations shall state in which areas the Offeror believes that recent and relevant performance is demonstrated. Each Citation provided by the Offeror shall state the total number of buildings serviced, total square footage serviced and the types of services provided or types of buildings serviced (i.e., Child Care, Medical Facilities, Fitness Centers, Administrative Areas, Emergency Clean-up/Response and Distinguished Visitor Area Cleaning). The Offeror shall cite no more than ten (10) citations that the Offeror believes demonstrate recent and relevant past performance. For each citation, the Offeror shall disseminate no more than one (1) PPQ. Citations shall list the contract number and two (2) Government or commercial points of contact.

4.10 Tab 3: Questionnaire Recipient The proposal shall include a list of questionnaire recipients, including the specific POCs and current contact phone numbers and current email addresses. The Government intends to use the Past Performance Questionnaire in its evaluation. The Offeror will send out the Past Performance Questionnaire directly to each reference listed in the citations that the Offeror considers the most relevant and recent contracts.

The responsibility to send out the Past Performance Questionnaires and ensure submission to the Contracting Officer in a timely manner rests solely with the Offeror. The Offeror will direct the references to return completed questionnaires directly to the Government POCs listed in paragraph 3.7. The information contained in completed questionnaires will be considered sensitive and will not be released to the Offeror. The Government reserves the right to contact the references provided by the Offeror and any other references generated by the Government to discuss the Offeror's past performance.

The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. In addition, the government may use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the Offeror.

4.11 Subcontractor Consent. Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime Offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide, with the proposal, a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor. If there is a problem with the proposed subcontractor’s or teaming partner’s present/past performance, the Offeror may be notified of a problem but no details may be discussed without the subcontractor’s/teaming partner’s permission.

4.12 Commercial Customer. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the Offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror's performance. Commercial customers include the prime contractor for subcontracting arrangements that support the Government.

4.13 Volume III - Price Proposal. SF 1449: Complete blocks 12, 17a, and 30a, b, and c. In doing so, the Offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the solicitation, with attachments. The solicitation constitutes the model contract.

The Offeror shall submit only pricing information that will be evaluated for award or become part of the resulting contract. Use the information provided in the PWS along with the Workload Estimate (Attachment 4) to complete and submit the Price List dated 24 July 2015 (Attachment 2 issued with Amendment 6). The Price List is for the five-year ordering period (there are no option periods). Supply costs and associated General and Administrative (G&A) cost plus profit or fee should be included in the unit price for each task listed in the Price List and shall be effective for the entire five-year ordering period. Wages will be subject to SCA/CBA increases over the contract life.

The Government will calculate the Total Evaluated Price for each Offeror using the Offeror’s proposed unit pricing, as displayed on the Price List. Offerors will provide their own annual and total five-year price calculations on the Government-provided Price List worksheet; for reference only. The Offeror’s proposed unit prices, as displayed on the Price List, will be incorporated into the contract and will be used to calculate the Government’s Total Evaluated Price as listed in Addendum 52.212-2 section 2.3.2. Offerors shall validate their calculations to ensure their proposed unit prices, as displayed on the Price List, account for rounding when determining their total annual price and five-year calculations on the Price List. The Government’s Total Evaluated Price, using the Offeror’s proposed unit prices as displayed on the Price List, takes precedence over any Offeror’s calculations.

4.14 Budget/Funding Information. For consideration in developing your proposal, the Custodial Services acquisition budget/funding is as follows:

Performance Period Budget Five-Year Ordering Period $9,999,000.00

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:

(1) TECHNICAL

(2) PAST PERFORMANCE

(3) PRICE

Past performance is approximately equal to price when being evaluated.

(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.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS

The following additions/changes are made to FAR 52.212-2:

1.0 Basis for Contract Award. This contract will be awarded as Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) in which the Government will utilize a performance price tradeoff source selection process wherein Technical Acceptability will be assessed on an acceptable/unacceptable basis and the Government’s tradeoff decisions will be based upon a tradeoff between past performance and price where past performance is approximately equal to price. In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.

The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer if that Offeror is judged to have a performance assessment rating of “Satisfactory Confidence” or higher. In that event, the Government shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision. This may result in an award to a higher-rated, higher-priced Offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors, and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that more highly assessed past performance of the higher-priced Offeror outweighs the price difference.

While the Government source selection evaluation team and the SSA will strive for maximum objectivity, this source selection process, by its nature, is subjective and, therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the Offeror’s experience in performing the effort described in the solicitation, based on the Offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance.

The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest-priced offeror. In that event, the Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision.

By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions To Offerors, the Offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records.

1.1 Evaluation Process. Technical proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability. Past Performance will be evaluated for Recency, Relevancy, and Quality as the basis for the overall Performance Confidence assessment assigned to each Offeror. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness and affordability.

2.0 Evaluation Factors. In evaluating proposals, the Government will select the proposal that is most advantageous to the Government. To arrive at a decision, the SSA will assess each offer in accordance with the following evaluation factors for the contract:

Factor 1: Technical Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price

2.1 Technical Factor. The Technical evaluation provides an assessment of the Offeror’s demonstrated approach to meet the Government’s requirements and will be rated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, assigning one of the ratings described in the Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Table (para 2.1.1). If an Offeror receives an “unacceptable” rating for the Technical factor, the Offeror will be ineligible for award.

2.1.1 Technical Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the Management Plan to assess the Offeror’s approach to determine if it is sufficient to successfully perform the major tasks and subtasks outlined in the PWS. Failure to provide a reasonable and complete Management Plan shall reflect a lack of capability to perform the work requirements and will result in a determination that the Offeror’s Management Plan is unacceptable. The Management Plan shall be evaluated for clear demonstration of the Offeror’s proposed approach to successfully accomplish the following:

1. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Management Plan and its proposed approach to obtain security clearances, vehicle passes and badges for PAFB and CMAFS. To receive an Acceptable rating, the Management Plan shall demonstrate the Offeror’s proposed approach is sufficient to successfully obtain security clearances, vehicle passes and badges for PAFB and CMAFS IAW the PWS.

Ref: PWS Para 1

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Table

Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

2.2 Past Performance Factor. The past performance evaluation will assess the degree of confidence the Government has in an Offeror’s experience to perform the required services. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine whether an Offeror will meet the Government’s needs based on a demonstrated record of performance.

The overall confidence rating will be based on Recency, Relevancy, and Quality. The Government intends to use the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) in its evaluation.

2.2.1 Past Performance Evaluation. The Government intends to use both data provided by the Offeror and data obtained from other sources, including any combination of past performance information available. This may include data gathered from Offeror-provided references, PPQs, or through the use of interviews. Furthermore, the Government may use data independently obtained from other governmental and commercial sources, other customers known to the Government, consumer protection organizations, contractor performance evaluations (e.g., Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) information), interviews with Government customers and fee determining officials, DCMA officials, DCAA officials, and, if applicable, commercial clients, and any other source that may have relevant and useful information.

In evaluating past performance, the Government will first make a Recency determination, followed by an evaluation of Relevancy of the past performance submitted, and finally, a performance Quality assessment will be made.

Based on Recency, Relevancy, and Quality, an overall Performance Confidence Rating will be assigned.

2.2.2 Recency assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made for each citation to determine if it is recent. To be considered recent, the performance must have been within the past three (3) years as of the solicitation release date. Present/past performance information that is not recent will not be evaluated for relevancy and quality.

2.2.3 Relevancy assessment. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all…
