ADDENDA TO FAR 52.212-2

Addenda to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items (October 2014)

1. EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

A. SOURCE SELECTION

(a) Basis for Contract Award. This is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR Part 12 - Commercial Items, and FAR Part 13 – Simplified Acquisitions, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS). These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FAR Site, http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The Government will select the proposal with the lowest evaluated price from among those meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Addenda to FAR 52.212-1 of this solicitation). While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

(b) For the purpose of conducting evaluations, the Government will first rank all proposals by price, and then proceed with the simultaneous evaluation of Technical, Past Performance, and Price volumes beginning with the lowest priced offer. If the lowest reasonably priced offer is determined to be “Technically Acceptable,” and judged to have an “Acceptable” Past Performance rating, that offeror represents the best value and award will be made without evaluating higher priced offers. If the lowest priced offer is not determined reasonable and technically acceptable with an “Acceptable” Past Performance rating, then the next lowest priced offer will be evaluated. This process will continue until an offer is determined to be reasonable and technically acceptable with an “Acceptable” Past Performance rating.

(c) Discussions. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions. If, during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offerors responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. If the offeror’s proposal has been evaluated as acceptable at the time discussions are closed, any changes or exceptions in the Final Proposal Revision are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror’s proposal be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.

(d) Solicitation Requirements, Terms and Conditions. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or subfactors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable.

B. EVALUATION FACTORS

(a) Evaluation Factors and Subfactors. The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal. The Government will evaluate proposals for acceptability, but will not rank the proposals by the non-price factors or subfactors.

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

· Sub-factor 1: FAA Certified Courses and Facilities

· Element 1: FAA Part 141 Certification

· Sub-factor 2: Certified Flight Instructors

· Element 1: Recruit, Qualify, Hire and Retain Personnel

· Element 2: Flight Instructor Certification with Instrument Rating

· Sub-factor 3: Student Management Approach

· Element 1: Student Procedures

FACTOR 2 – PRICE

FACTOR 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE

C. FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

The Government’s technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, assigning one of the ratings described below for each subfactor. Any subfactor evaluated as “Unacceptable” will render the entire proposal unacceptable and, therefore, unawardable. Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. However, the offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

Indicates an adequate technical approach and understanding to meet the requirements in PWS Paragraph 3.8 and the contractor equivalent of the Air Force Safety Management System defined in AFI 91-2021.

D. FACTOR 2 – PRICE

(a) The government will rank all offers by price for entire ordering period. The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for reasonableness. If the lowest priced offer is determined to be reasonable and technically acceptable, no other offer will be evaluated for price reasonableness. If the lowest priced offer is not determined reasonable and technically acceptable with an “Acceptable” Past Performance rating, then the next lowest priced offer will be evaluated. This process will continue until an offer is determined to be reasonable and technically acceptable with an “Acceptable” Past Performance rating.

(b) Total Evaluated Price (TEP): The TEP for each offeror evaluated will be determined by first multiplying the quantities in the Pricing Schedule by the fully-burdened unit price (rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount) entered for each FFP CLIN to confirm the extended total amount for each FFP CLIN, which should exactly equal the quantity multiplied by the unit price. The TEP will not include the Not-To-Exceed cost reimbursable CLINs. The sum of the extended total amounts for all FFP CLINs for the total ordering period will equal the TEP.

(c) FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, will be incorporated into the resultant contract. Upon exercise, the clause will extend the terms and conditions of the contract period being extended at the rates specified in the contract for a period not to exceed 6 months. Per FAR 17.207(f), all pricing period prices for the FFP CLINs will be evaluated during the initial contract award process and determined fair and reasonable. Therefore, in the event the Government requires continued performance beyond the awarded contract performance period, the Government's evaluation of prices proposed for all pricing periods will be considered fair and reasonable as applied to an extension of services (IAW FAR 52.217-8). Should an extension of services be required, rates will be adjusted only as a result of revisions to applicable prevailing Department of Labor wage rates. Costs associated with the Cost Reimbursable CLINs will be evaluated and negotiated after contract award as needed at the task order level.

(d) Reasonableness: For the offerors being evaluated, prices and data other than certified cost or pricing data submitted in the Volume II Price, as required by Addenda to FAR 52.212-1, will be evaluated for price reasonableness, pursuant to FAR 12.209 and FAR 13.106-3 based upon each offeror’s proposed approach. For additional information, see FAR 31.201-3. If the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, the CO may request and evaluate additional data other than certified cost or pricing data, as appropriate, to make a determination of price reasonableness.

(e) An offeror’s proposal may not be considered for award if proposed prices are determined to be unreasonably high and pose an unacceptable risk to the Government.

E. FACTOR 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE

The Past Performance evaluation results in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. Offerors must receive a past performance rating of “Acceptable” to be eligible for award.

(a) Procedures in Evaluating Past Performance

(b) Recency: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must have been performed during the three (3) years preceding the date of issuance of this solicitation, to include at least 90 days of documented performance during the three (3) year period.

(c) Relevancy: The Government will evaluate the relevancy of offeror’s past performance and assign ratings of relevant or not relevant. The Government will combine all recent past performance information obtained and determine an aggregate relevancy assessment. In determining relevancy consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor. The relevancy of recent contracts will be assessed as defined in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Relevancy Description

magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

To be considered Relevant, the aggregate of the combination of the offeror, major subcontractor, and / or teaming partner’s recent past performance information, up to four (4) contracts, must demonstrate the following:

A minimum ability to provide FAA Part 141 training from no flying experience to Commercial Multi-Engine qualification for 10 Students per year.

magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

To be considered Not Relevant, the aggregate of the combination of the offeror, major subcontractor, and / or teaming partner’s recent past performance information, up to four (4) contracts, did not demonstrate the following:

A minimum ability to provide FAA Part 141 training from no flying experience to Commercial Multi-Engine qualification for 10 Students per year.

(d) Acceptability: The Government will determine how well the offeror performed on past contracts and assign ratings of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” using descriptions in Table 3 below.

Table 3: Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

* 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 assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(e) Sources of Past Performance Information for Evaluation: 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 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and the Defense Contract Management Agency.

(f) The quality assessment consists of an evaluation of recent and relevant past performance information available, regardless of its source. The quality assessment may reveal positive or adverse past performance information. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comment received from sources without a formal rating system. Multiple ratings of less than “Satisfactory” in CPARS, PPIRS, or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and the Defense Contract Management Agency may result in a performance quality assessment rating of “Unacceptable.” Offerors may be given an opportunity to respond to adverse past performance information for which they have not previously had an opportunity to address.

F. FACTOR 4 – SUBCONTRACTING PARTICIPATION (PLAN)

(a) Large Business Prime Offerors: FAR 52.219-9 AND DFARS 252.219-7003 are included in this solicitation and will be incorporated into any resultant contract. A subcontracting plan is required from all offerors other than small business concerns for proposals exceeding $700,000 which contain subcontracting opportunities. The plan shall be submitted with the initial proposal and will be concurrently evaluated. Since a price proposal is required by this solicitation, it must relate to, and substantiate, the submissions under FAR 52.219-9(d). Also substantiate the reasonableness of any additional costs to be expended in pursuit of the small disadvantaged business goal. Each large business prime offeror shall provide a clear, detailed, logical and realistic plan that expresses definitive commitments for SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB, and WOSB. The offeror must provide specific small business concern goals expressed as percentages of total planned subcontracting dollars for the base and all option years. Any contract resulting from this solicitation which includes a comprehensive subcontracting plan will include the clause at 252.219-7004, Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Test Program), in lieu of the clauses at FAR 52.219-9, and DFARS 252.219-7003.

Enabling Agreement Between Prime Contractors and Service Contractors

a) The Air Force Security Assistance Training (AFSAT) and SAF/IA have entered into contracts with The STS Systems Integration (SSI) for services to provide security assistance and service acquisition management support. Service tasks involve the application of a broad range of education, skills, knowledge, and experience in many disciplines in support of Security Assistance tasks. Service tasks performed by the existing service contractors’ (SSI) may require the Contractor’s personnel to cooperate with the Government’s existing service contractor personnel (SSI); these tasks could also require the existing service contractors’ (SSI) employees to request that the Contractor grant its employees access to information that the Contractor considers to be proprietary information.

In the performance of this contract, the Contractor agrees to cooperate with existing service contractors (SSI) by:

i) responding to invitations from authorized personnel to attend meetings;

ii) providing access to non-proprietary research, development and planning data;

iii) providing non-proprietary test data and results;

iv) providing schedule and milestone data;

v) providing non-proprietary financial data included in the contract, all in original form or reproduced;

vi) discussing technical matters related to the program; and

vii) allowing observation of non-proprietary technical activities by appropriate support Contractor technical personnel.

b) The Contractor further agrees to include in each subcontract over $1 million or 10 percent of prime contract value, whichever is less, a statement requiring compliance by a subcontractor and succeeding levels of subcontractors with the response and access provisions of paragraph (a) above, subject to coordination with the Contractor. This agreement is not intended to establish privity of contract between the Government and any subcontractor. Moreover, this agreement does not establish nor does it attempt to establish privity of contract between Contractor for this contract and any existing service contractors (SSI).

c) The existing service contracts (SSI) anticipate that those service contractors may obtain access to another company’s proprietary information, to include the Contractor’s proprietary information associated with this contract. However, before the existing service contractors (SSI) will be able to access the Contractor’s proprietary information, the existing service contracts require the existing service contractors (SSI) to enter into company-to-company agreements with the Contractor in which the existing service contractors (SSI) agree: 1) to protect another company’s [proprietary] information from unauthorized use or disclosure and 2) to refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which the information was furnished. If the Contractor refuses to allow either or both of the existing service contractors (SSI) to have access to its proprietary information, then the Government will not allow employees of the existing service contractors (SSI) to access the Contractor’s proprietary information; in fact, in spite of delays that may ensue, if the Contractor refuses to enter into an agreement with an existing service contractor (SSI) then the Government will not share proprietary information with that service contractor.

d) The service contracts contain an organizational conflict of interest clause that requires the service Contractors to protect the data and prohibits the service Contractors from using the data for any purpose other than that for which the data was presented.

e) The Contractor will not be required to perform any work or supply any documentation unless required to do so by this contract. If the Contractor enters into subcontracts, the Contractor is still responsible for making sure the work is performed in the manner specified in the contract.
