Evaluation Factors for Award

The following clauses were modified:

52.212-2 - Evaluation-Commercial Items. Oct 2014 hereby reads as follows:

As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows:

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:

(i) Past Performance - Past performance shall be rated based on an offeror's record of recent and relevant past performance. Information being reviewed can include: up to 3 offeror-submitted records of past performance (Atch 4); information found in the Governmentwide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS);

Contracting Officer's knowledge of and previous experience with the service being acquired; and, any other reasonable source of information. Lack of past performance will be treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. A record of unsuccessful or unsatisfactory performance may render a past performance confidence rating of either Limited or No Confidence. Past performance ratings are as follows:

Adjectival Rating - Description Substantial Confidence - Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence - Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence - No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence - Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence - Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(ii) Technical - Technical shall be rated as acceptable or unacceptable. Technical acceptability will be established based on if the proposed narrative or plans satisfy the Government's minimum requirements as identified in the PWS.

(iii) Price - Price shall be broken down monthly per CLIN, including all options, totals per year and an overall contract price.

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

After preliminary consideration of all proposals to determine responsiveness and responsibility, quotes will be evaluated from lowest to highest price before reviewing technical acceptability and then, if found technically acceptable, assessing past performance. If the lowest-priced quote is found technically acceptable and is rated Substantial Confidence for past performance, award will then be made to that offeror and no other quotes will be evaluated for technical acceptability or past performance. If not, the next lowest will be evaluated in turn for technical acceptability and then past performance, so on until an offeror is found to be technically acceptable with a Substantial Confidence past performance rating. If after review of all quotes, no offeror is found to be rated both technically acceptable and Substantial Confidence for past performance, the government reserves the right to award to the lowest-priced quote found technically acceptable with a Satisfactory Confidence past performance rating or cancel the solicitation in its entirety. At no point will award be made to an offeror with a

Limited or No Confidence past performance rating.

Upon receipt of all of the timely quotes, the Government will determine responsiveness and responsibility.

The Government will evaluate the timely responsive and responsible quotes for price. The Government will then rank the quotes from lowest to highest price. The Government will then evaluate the lowest priced quote for technical acceptability as defined in paragraph a(ii) above. If the Government determines that the lowest priced quote is technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the past performance rating in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) above. Award will then be made to that offeror and no other quotes will be evaluated for technical acceptability or past performance.

If not, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated in turn for technical acceptability and then past performance, so on until an offeror is found to be acceptable with in accordance with paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above.

If after review of all quotes, no offeror is found to be technically acceptable in accordance with paragraph (a)(ii) above and a Substantial Confidence rating in accordance with paragraph (a)(i), the government reserves the right to award to the lowest-priced quote found technically acceptable with a Satisfactory Confidence past performance rating or cancel the solicitation in its entirety. At no point will award be made to an offeror with a Limited or No Confidence past performance rating.

The government intends to award without discussions, but reserves the right to seek clarification on information submitted or hold discussions, if in the government's best interest.

(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.
