FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation- Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (Nov 2021)

(a) Pursuant to FAR 12.602 contract award will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures IAW FAR Part 13. The government will award a contract resulting from this RFP to the responsible vendor whose proposal, conforming to the RFP, will be most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate proposals:

i. Price

ii. Past Performance

This evaluation will be conducted as a Subjective Trade-off, where Past Performance is approximately equal to price. Additionally, offerors are required to provide the following:

iii. Technical Evaluation Factor: Rated on a GO/NO GO basis.

1. Continuation of Essential Contractor Services Plan

(b) Options: The government will evaluate proposals for award purposes by adding the total price for all option periods 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 a proposal, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the proposal, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the proposal’s specified expiration time, the government may accept a proposal (or part of a proposal), whether or not there are interchanges after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal from the offeror is received before award.

Note: The vendor acknowledges that should the proposal terms and conditions and/or agreement conflict with mandatory provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other Federal law applicable to commercial acquisitions, to the extent of such conflict the FAR and Federal law govern and conflicting vendor terms and conditions and/or agreement are unenforceable and are not considered incorporated into any resultant contract.

Addendum 52.212-2-Evaluation Commercial Items Basis for contract award: The government will make an award to the responsible contractor that conforms to requirements of the solicitation, is technically rated “Go”, and provides the best value to the government considering price and past performance, as indicated in the below evaluation steps. The government reserves the right to award to other than that lowest priced proposal.

Price Evaluation. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

The government will evaluate prices submitted on RFP Attachment 2 - Pricing Schedule. The government will evaluate for unbalanced pricing. Next, the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be calculated by adding the Total Amount per Period (Base and Option Years 1-4) and half of Option Year 4 (calculating the Extension of Services IAW FAR 52.217-8). Failure to propose prices for all line items on the pricing schedule will render the proposal incomplete and potentially removed from further award consideration.

Offerors should propose the best pricing to the government for each item in arriving at the most competitive price. Price information submitted in each offeror’s price proposal, as required by the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items, will be evaluated to determine if proposed prices are fair and reasonable. Unbalanced pricing may pose an unacceptable risk to the government and may be a reason to remove an offer from consideration.

Past Performance. The Past Performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s s ability to meet the solicitation requirements. Past Performance evaluation will include recent contracts performed by the contractor. To be considered recent, for a particular contract or combination of contracts, services must have been and/or are currently being provided at any time within the last three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Contracts that are not considered recent will not be evaluated for relevancy.

This evaluation will consider performance from predecessor companies, major subcontractors, teaming contractors or partners whose effort, as demonstrated in the proposal, will significantly influence performance, and will contribute to the overall past performance confidence rating.

The government will assign a relevancy rating for each recent past performance contract reference below.

Table 1. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Method Adjectival Rating Description Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the 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.

All recent and relevant past performance contract references will be evaluated to determine how well the offeror performed on the prior contracts. Evaluation of the submitted past performance information, along with any past performance information obtained from other sources as indicated in this Addendum, will result in an overall past performance confidence rating as specified in Table 2 below.

Table 2. Past Performance Confidence Assessment

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.

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 information rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance.

The offeror will have an opportunity to respond to any overall unfavorable past performance, if not previously afforded the opportunity by the government (e.g. CPARS).

Sources of Past Performance. In addition to the Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment 4) completed by the points of contact listed in the proposal, the government will also utilize data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. These sources may include, but are not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of your company, predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement or who are part of a partnership/joint venture or teaming agreement identified in the offerors proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS), Supplier Performance Reporting System (SPRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. However, subcontractor and predecessor company information will be considered only to the degree to which their work is relevant to the instant acquisition unless 13 C.F.R. 125.8(e) or 13 C.F.R. 125.2 apply.

Evaluation steps:

Step 1: The government will review all proposals for compliance. A compliant proposal consists of a proposal that meets the government’s requirements identified in Addendum to 52.212-1. The vendor’s Continuation of Essential Contractor Services Plan will be rated as a GO/NO GO. Proposals that are not fully compliant or have a Technical Evaluation factor rated as “NO GO” may result in their removal from consideration. NOTE: Offerors must qualify as a Small Business in SAM.gov to be eligible for award.

Step 2: Rank all acceptable proposals based upon offeror’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) from lowest TEP to highest TEP.

Step 3: Evaluate lowest price offeror’s past performance. If the lowest priced offer is evaluated to have a “Substantial” performance confidence assessment, has a “GO” for technical, and is determined to be responsible, that offer represents the best value to the government, and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other proposals.

Step 4: In the event that the government does not make an award pursuant to Step 3 above, the government will evaluate the next lowest price offer and the process will continue (in order of price) until a proposal is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance confidence assessment rating or until all offerors are evaluated. An integrated best value award decision will be made considering price and past performance confidence and the government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced offeror.

INTERCHANGES – Interchanges with one or more offeror(s) may be used during the evaluation process to facilitate understanding and/or clarify aspects of an offeror’s proposal. The government intends to award a contract without interchanges with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges if deemed in its best interest.

Assumptions, Conditions & Exceptions NOTE: Any exception to the solicitation may render a proposal unacceptable. If your company takes exception to any of the requirement of the PWS or terms/conditions, they must be clearly identified in your proposal. These will be reviewed for potential impact on your ability to successfully meet the government’s requirements. Any assumptions, conditions or exceptions which may negatively impact successful performance of this requirement could render the proposal ineligible for award.

Note: The vendor acknowledges that should the proposal terms and conditions and/or agreement conflict with mandatory provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other Federal law applicable to commercial acquisitions, to the extent of such conflict the FAR and Federal law govern and conflicting vendor terms and conditions and/or agreement are unenforceable and are not considered incorporated into any resultant contract.
