FAR 52.212-2

EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) Basis for Contract Award. The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed Price, Requirements contract for this competitive Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside. Award will be made to the technically acceptable Offeror with lowest evaluated price who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104 and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation. Unless specifically identified in your proposal, by submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined ineligible for award. It is the Government’s intent to evaluate proposals and award a contract IAW FAR 13.106.

1.0 Evaluation Process. The Government may consider, throughout the evaluation, the “correction potential” of any proposal. The judgment of such “correctional potential” is within the sole discretion of the Government. If any aspect of an offeror’s proposal does not meet the Government’s requirements and is not considered correctable, the offer may be ineligible for award. The Government may determine one or a few offerors have the highest potential to provide the best value to the Government. It is the Government’s intent to evaluate offers and award a contract without interchanges with offerors; however, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges, if deemed in its best interest. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Interchanges may be of price and/or technical nature, and offeror(s) may be given an opportunity to submit a proposal revision as a result of interchanges.

Interchanges can be informal or formal. The CO may use e-mail, send an Interchange Notice (IN) or phone call, etc., asking for clarifications, change pages, revisions or other documentation. A competitive range determination is not required to enter into interchanges and Final Proposal Revision will not be required.

Only proposals rated technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of interchanges will be eligible for award.

Offerors are advised that FAR Part 15 procedures will not be used to evaluate offers.

1.1 Proposals. The Government will rank proposals based on an initial assessment of offeror’s total evaluated prices, followed by a full evaluation of Technical Acceptability and Price Reasonableness as follows.

Rank by Total Evaluated Price, as submitted. The Government will rank all proposals by the initially proposed total evaluated price, from lowest to highest, including all ordering periods. An offeror’s proposed estimated price will be determined by multiplying the estimated quantities by the proposed unit price for each CLIN. The extended amount for each CLIN will be totaled to obtain the estimated total for each performance period. The estimated total for the basic performance period will then be added to the estimated total for each ordering period including all Not to Exceed (NTE) CLIN totals to obtain the Total Evaluated Price. The Total Evaluated Price consists of the base and all ordering periods.

1.2 Technical Evaluation. If the Government receives three (3) or fewer proposals, all proposals will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more proposals the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced proposals and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional proposals for technical acceptability if in the Government’s best interest. If additional proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability, they will be selected in the order of total evaluated price.

1.3 Acceptability Ratings. The evaluation factors listed below will be evaluated and receive one of the following ratings:

(i) Acceptable – The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(ii) Unacceptable – The proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

1.4 Evaluation of Factors. Only technically acceptable proposals, are eligible for award. The Government will evaluate the proposals, selected in paragraph 1.2, for technical acceptability on an Acceptable/ Unacceptable basis.

For the technical proposal to be rated as “Acceptable”, all technical sub factors must be rated acceptable. If any technical sub factor is rated “Unacceptable”, the overall proposal will be rated as “Unacceptable”. The technical proposal will be evaluated for the following technical factors subfactors:

(A) Technical SubFactor # 1 – Management Plan

(i) The Management Plan should provide evidence of the capability to procure and deliver water treatment chemicals as defined in the solicitation. At a minimum, the plan should:

(a) Demonstrate the capability to provide local off base storage that allows for immediate access, use, delivery and storage of water treatment chemicals.

(b) Include a list of all specific chemicals used to treat the specified systems to show quantity and type of chemicals to be stocked on hand (and/or just-in-time) for immediate delivery and application as required to ensure the systems are balanced to meet or exceed manufacturer’s recommendations.

Standard: The standard for this subfactor has been met when the offeror provides a management plan that adequately addresses off base storage information and a list of all specific chemicals used to treat the specified systems for immediate delivery and application to comply with the requirements of the SOW.

(B) Technical SubFactor #2 – Quality Control Plan

(i) The offeror shall provide a “quality control plan” (QCP) with a complete written system for identifying and correcting deficiencies and degradation in the quality of supplies before becoming unacceptable. At a minimum, the plan should specifically address contract requirements and location(s) listed and provide the following:

(a) The plan shall address responsibilities for oversight of the QCP, functions associated with such oversight, and specify authority to coordinate with the CO.

(b) Describe the methodology to monitor supply deficiencies/complaints in relation to the approach to inform employees of identified deficiencies/complaints, and a process to ensure that the deficiencies/complaints are corrected and eradicated.

Standard: The standard for this subfactor has been met when the offeror adequately demonstrates a sound, comprehensive, effective and efficient quality control plan that prevents discrepancies and improves performance over the life of the contract.

1.5 Price Evaluation: The Government will conduct a complete price analysis of the lowest priced technically “Acceptable” offer, to determine if proposed prices are reasonable and balanced. All proposed prices for all contract periods will be evaluated for reasonableness, which may be determined based on prices submitted by the competition, historical pricing, current market conditions, comparison to the Independent Government Estimate, and/or other proposal analysis techniques. The Government may require submission of information other than cost or pricing data to the extent necessary to evaluate price reasonableness. Proposed contract line item prices will be evaluated for unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items or sub line items appears to be significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. An offeror’s proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
