A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of quotes, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition.

The response shall consist of three (3) separate parts:

o Part I - Price o Part II - Technical Approach o Part III - Past Performance Information

B. Specific Instructions:

1. PART I – PRICE - Submit one (1) electronic copy

(a) This section is to assist you in submitting pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed price. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your quote. Note that unrealistically low or high-proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a quote from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic quote. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s quote. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.

(b) Complete blocks 12, 17, and 30a-c of the RFQ Section A, SF1449.

(c) Insert proposed unit and extended prices in Section B for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) or

Sub CLIN (SCLIN), including all option periods. All dollar amounts provided shall be rounded to the nearest dollar.

The extended amount must equal the whole dollar unit price multiplied by the number of units. The quote(s) must be submitted for a Base plus four (4) option years.

(d) Information beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your price position. All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the quote designated as the Price volume.

Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the quote.

2. PART II – TECHNICAL APPROACH - Limited to no more than __10__ pages. Submit one (1) electronic copy

The Technical Approach should be specific and complete. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important.

Your responses will be evaluated against the Technical subfactors defined in 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial

Items. Using the instructions provided below, provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing/satisfying these subfactors. All the requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory. By your quote submission, you are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation. It is not necessary or desirable for you to tell us so in your quote. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

(a) Subfactor 1 – Staffing Approach: The Offeror shall demonstrate an ability to recruit, retain, and effectively utilize personnel and resources to achieve successful performance of the required work.

(b) Subfactor 2 – Management Approach: The Offeror shall explain their proposed management plan, techniques, procedures and practices that effectively accomplish the basic functions of planning, organizing and controlling the required work.

(c) Subfactor 3 – Quality Control Plan: The Offeror shall explain the proposed quality control management process. The offeror shall explain how quality and timeliness will be tracked and controlled, and the method of interaction and reporting to the Government.

3. PART III – PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION - Limited to no more than 5 contracts .

Limited to no more than __2__ pages per contract listed. Only references for relevant past efforts/contracts are desired. Submit one (1) electronic copy per contract.

(a) Quality and Satisfaction Rating for Contracts Completed in the Past Three (3) Years: Provide any information currently available (letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of completed services for relevant past efforts/contracts (similar in scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires). In addition, http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/gsa/ep/formslibrary.do?viewType=DETAIL&formId=E331497A1FE0AE1F85256A260055A47B explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, etc.

C. Documents submitted in response to this RFQ must be fully responsive to and consistent with the following:

1. Requirements of the RFQ (CLINs & PWS) and Government standards and regulations pertaining to the

PWS.

2. Evaluation Factors for Award IAW FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, of this RFQ.

3. Any limitation on the number of quote pages. Pages exceeding the page limitations set forth will not be read or evaluated, and will be removed from the quote.

4. Format for Parts II and III shall be as follows:

(a) The quotes will be 8 1/2” x 11” paper except for fold-outs used for charts, tables, or diagrams, which may not exceed 11” x 17”.

(b) A page is defined as one face of a sheet of paper containing information.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose quotation conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price, technical and past performance factors considered. A single award shall be awarded to the Lowest Priced, Technically

Acceptable (LPTA) contractor with acceptable past performance. The Government shall make a determination of technical acceptability, based upon the Offeror’s technical approach proposal meeting or exceeding the salient performance characteristics of the Performance Work Statement.

(i) Price.

(ii) Technical Approach. The contractor shall provide with the pricing proposal their specific Technical

Approach to meet contract requirements.

The following technical subfactors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1) Staffing Approach

2) Management Approach

3) Quality Control Plan

(iii) Past Performance.

(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) Basis of Award: Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The Government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical approach proposals on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or

Unacceptable. 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. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective Offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in the Government’s best interest.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2—EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS

I. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

a. This is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12, “Acquisition of Commercial Items” and FAR 13.5 “Test

Program for Certain Commercial Items” as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation

Supplement (DFARS) and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS). These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FARSite, http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The

Government will select the quote with the lowest evaluated price from among those meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. A Contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9.1, as supplemented, whose quote conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, the

Performance Work Statement, and all other information required by this solicitation) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors and subfactors, to represent the lowest price technically acceptable quotation.

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

b. Number of Contracts to be Awarded

The Government intends to award one (1) contract for Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB) transportation services.

c. Rejection of Unrealistic Offers

The Government may reject any quote that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low in price when compared to Government estimates, such that the quote is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.

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.

II. EVALUATION FACTORS

Evaluation Factors and Subfactors

The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each quote. The Government will evaluate quotes for acceptability, but will not rank the quotes by the non-price factors or subfactors.

a. Factor 1: Price

Offerors whose price is determined to be unreasonable or unbalanced may not be considered for award.

(1) The offeror’s Price quote will be evaluated for award purposes, based upon the total price proposed for basic requirements (basic award) and all options.

(2) Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

b. Factor 2: Technical Approach

The Government’s technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical approach 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 quote unacceptable and, therefore, unawardable. Only those quotes 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 quote, as received, without discussion.

TABLE 1—TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation

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

The quotes shall be evaluated against the following technical subfactors:

(a) Subfactor 1 - Staffing Approach: This requirement is met when the offeror’s quote demonstrates the ability to recruit, retain, and effectively utilize personnel and resources to achieve successful performance of the required work.

(b) Subfactor 2 - Management Approach: This requirement is met when the offeror’s quote explains their proposed management plan, techniques, procedures, and practices that demonstrate the offeror’s ability to accomplish the basic functions of planning, organizing, and controlling the required work.

(c) Subfactor 3 – Quality Control Plan: This requirement is met when the offeror’s quote explains their proposed quality control management process and demonstrates how quality and timeliness will be tracked and controlled, and the method of interaction and reporting to the Government.

c. 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.

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

TABLE 2- 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”.

(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 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.

(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 relate to the Technical subfactors and Price factor. For each recent past performance citation reviewed, the relevance of the work performed will generally be assessed for the Technical subfactors and Price Factor (however, all aspects of performance that relate to this acquisition may be considered). Consideration will be given to contracts for

Transportation Services similar in size and scope to the solicited requirement. 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 the relevancy of effort performed under individual past performance contracts, the government will only consider the specific effort or portion consistent with that proposed by the prime, subcontractor or teaming partner. The past performance information forms (PIFs) and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance. The Government will use the following relevancy definitions when assessing recent, relevant contracts:

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.

III. OPTIONS

a. 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).

b. FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, is included in the RFQ and 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, the evaluation of which will be considered and included in the initial evaluation of the quote (to include the base period plus all option periods) as demonstrated herein.

(End of Addendum)
