(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for

3. Specific Instructions:

Past Performance Information:

(1) Recent past performance is defined as contracts performed within the last five (5) years from date of issuance of this solicitation, but limited to the most recent seven (7) contracts.

(2) Relevant past performance is defined as contracts that required the Offeror to provide recycling services, similar to this requirement. At a minimum, previous efforts must have been to provide containers, empty Containers on a daily and/or weekly basis, and haul the recycling to recycling station/center.

(3) Past Performance Questionnaire, Attachment 4. The Offeror should send and request the reference to complete the questionnaire and request they e-mail it to 509 CONS/PKA, Attn: Renee Faller, at 509cons.sollgca@us.af.mil. Offerors are responsible for ensuring their reference sources receive the questionnaire in time to complete and return the questionnaire to the 509 CONS and be received no later than the proposal due date.

This requirement for the submission of questionnaires is in addition to the requirement for a list of consecutive contracts specified in paragraph 3.b.(4) below.

(4) List of References. Offerors shall submit a consecutive list of all past and present performance for the last five (5) years from the date of this solicitation. The list shall limited to the most recent seven (7) contracts. The list should identify company name, point of contact, contract number and period of performance.

Attachment 2 2 agencies you requested to accomplish a PPQ.

(5) Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use information provided by the Offerors and information obtained by other sources in the development of the performance confidence assessment.

B. 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items

1. The Government will award a firm fixed price 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. This acquisition will utilize the Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) process to make a best value award decision. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Performance Price *Past performance is approximately equal to cost or price, however cost/price will contribute substantially to the selection decision.

2. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options, including the optional 6-month extension of services, 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). In the event the Government extends services under the authority of FAR 52.217-8, “Option to Extend Services”, unit pricing for the last option year exercised preceding the extension shall remain in effect. These prices are already determined to have been evaluated at time of contract award.

3. 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.

C. Addendum to FAR 52.212-2:

Basis for Contact Award:

1. This is a competitive best value source selection in which competing Offerors' Past

Performance history will be evaluated as being approximately equal to cost or price; however cost/price will contribute substantially to the selection decision. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced Offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation criteria.

By submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable. The Government intends to award one contract. The Government seeks to award to the Offeror who in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirements. All such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records.

Attachment 2 3

2. Evaluating Past Performance:

(a) The evaluation team will primarily rely on information provided by Offeror’s completed Past Performance Questionnaires and/or from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). However, the Government may use information previously obtained from Past Performance Questionnaires or data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources in the evaluation process. In the event an Offeror submits a Past Performance Questionnaire and it is subsequently determined that the referenced project was formally evaluated in the CPARS, CPARS ratings shall take precedence.

(b) Each past performance reference shall undergo a recency determination. In order to be determined recent, the contract effort shall have been performed during the past five (5) years from the date of the issuance of this solicitation.

(c) Each recent past performance reference shall undergo a relevancy determination.

Relevance is defined as contracts that required the Offeror to provide recycling services, similar to this requirement. At a minimum, previous efforts must have been to provide containers, empty containers on a daily and/or weekly basis, and haul the recycling station/center.

(1) In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration shall be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the Offeror, joint ventures, subcontractors and/or teaming partners whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated.

(2) The following relevancy definitions apply:

(A) VERY RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(B) RELEVANT: Present/Past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(C) SOMEWHAT RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(D) NOT RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(d) All Offeror’s will receive a performance confidence assessment, based on the evaluation of present and past performance history. The confidence rating will be as follows:

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.

Attachment 2 4

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.

Limited 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.

No 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.

Unknown 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.

(e) If the lowest priced Offeror is not judged to have a “Satisfactory Confidence” performance assessment rating, the next lowest priced Offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an Offeror is judged to have a “Satisfactory Confidence” performance assessment rating or until all Offerors are evaluated. Then, the Government will perform an integrated assessment of the Offerors to determine the best value to the Government. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced Offeror if the lowest priced Offeror is judged to have a performance confidence assessment of other than “Satisfactory Confidence”. In that event, the Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision.

3. Evaluating Price.

(a) Offeror’s shall be ranked according to total price, including option prices and extension of services. Unit prices shall prevail in the event the extended price is calculated incorrectly.

(b) The Government will use various techniques and procedures described under FAR

15.404-1(b) as the primary means of assessing proposal reasonableness. The evaluation techniques described under FAR 15.404-1(c), as determined appropriate, may also be performed in further determining the reasonableness of the proposal.

(c) An Offeror’s proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of realistic, balanced, or reasonable price information contained in any portion of an Offerors price proposal. Proposed unit prices will be evaluated for unbalanced pricing IAW FAR 15.404- 1(g). Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items or sub-line item(s) appear to be significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques
