52.212-2 EVALUATION

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

Basis for Award: This acquisition will utilize Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection course of action in accordance with DoD Source Selection procedures, as supplemented. This is a competitive LPTA best value source selection in which price is considered the most important factor. By submission of its offer, the offeror accepts all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. All technically acceptable offerors, with acceptable past performance, shall be treated equally except for their prices. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The Government intends to select ONE contractor for award of this effort.

For the purpose of award, the government shall evaluate offers based on the evaluation factors described below:

FACTOR 1 Price

FACTOR 2 Past Performance (Acceptable/Unacceptable)

FACTOR 3 Technical (Acceptable/Unacceptable)

FACTOR 1 - PRICE

Initially, offers will be ranked according to price, including option prices. An offeror’s total evaluated price (TEP) will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B by the proposed unit price for each Contract

Line Item Number to confirm the extended amount for each. Contract Line Item Numbers X001-X0035 will be used to calculate the TEP. All extended Contract Line Item Number amounts will be totaled for evaluation purposes.

Pricing shall be inserted into the Appendix G of the solicitation, and will be caluculated in the same manner as

Section B. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance/unbalanced. The Government will evaluate the price information submitted by using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404 in order to determine reasonability. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the prices are significantly unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items appears to be significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. Unbalanced pricing may result in an offer being rejected if the Government determines that it presents an unacceptable risk to the Government. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise options.

FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE

The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror's performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this RFP on an acceptable/unacceptable basis per the below chart.

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.”

The government will use information submitted by the offeror and any other sources of information available to the

Government to assess past performance. Provide a list of no more than three (3), of the most relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers within the last three (3) years. Relevant contracts include those within the same scope and for similar work classified under NAICS Code 561730, Grounds Maintenance services. The chart below gives an explanation of relevant/not relevant.

TABLE 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY RATINGS

Rating Definition

RELEVANT Present/past performance effort met the above-mentioned criteria.

NOT RELEVANT

Present/past performance effort did not meet the above-mentioned criteria.

The evaluation of past performance information may take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.

FACTOR 3 – TECHNICAL

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, un-awardable. 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.

Subfactor 1: The Transition Plan will be evaluated to assess the offeror’s capability to satisfy the

Government’s requirements.

Measure of Merit: Clearly demonstrate in detail your comprehensive plan for transitioning to new contract performance during the 30-day phase-in period by describing how you will successfully perform all requirements on the contract start date.

Subfactor 2: The offeror’s proposal shall clearly demonstrate the offeror’s understanding of the nature and scope of the work specified in the PWS.

Measure of Merit: The Government will assess the offeror’s comprehensive plan and ability to successfully perform the major tasks and subtasks outlined in the PWS. Failure to provide a reasonable and complete proposal shall reflect a lack of capability to perform the work requirements and will result in a determination that the offeror’s proposal is unacceptable.

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.
