(iv) In a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding, a disposition of the matter by consent or compromise with an acknowledgment of fault by the Contractor if the proceeding could have led to any of the outcomes specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (c)(1)(ii), or (c)(1)(iii) of this provision.

(2) If the offeror has been involved in the last five years in any of the occurrences listed in (c)(1) of this provision, whether the offeror has provided the requested information with regard to each occurrence.

Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

1. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: The Air Force anticipates awarding one contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible respondent whose quote conforming to the solicitation is determined to be most advantageous to the Air Force, price and other factors considered. Quotes will be considered on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA), Past Performance and Price basis.

1.1 Evaluation Procedures -- The award will be made using LPTA procedures established IAW FAR Part 13. Evaluation will be conducted accordingly: (1) evaluate the quotes for lowest price, and (2) evaluate the quotes and Non-price factors for “Acceptability.” Non Price evaluations will be assessed as “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” based on the concern’s conformance with the criteria established in this Solicitation’s FAR 52.212-2 ADDENDA. The Air Force will consider awards to responsible concerns’ with the lowest evaluated price that also meets the acceptability standards for the non-price factors. Trade-offs will not be considered since the quotes are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked according to the non-price factors.

1.2 The Air Force intends to make award without discussions. However, reserves the right to conduct discussions if it determines it’s in its best interest.

1.3 Price – The firm fixed price for each quote will be evaluated for completeness, reasonableness and balance. The Air Force will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all option periods (refer FAR 52.217-9) and 6-month extension (refer FAR 52.217-8) to the total price for the basic contract. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Air Force to exercise the options.

1.4 Non-Price Factors: -- Recognize that all Non-Price Factors will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. In the event that any Non-Price Sub-Factor or criteria thereof is evaluated as Unacceptable the quote is rendered Unacceptable in its entirety.

2. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: Factors considered for award purposes are: 1) Price, 2) Technical, and 3) Past Performance.

3. EVALUATION FACTOR 1 – PRICE QUOTE: Prices submitted on Attachment 3: Price List in response to this Solicitation will be evaluated for completeness, reasonableness, and balance.

3.1 Completeness – The Air Force will review the price quote submitted for completeness and compliance with the Request for Quote (RFQ). Incomplete price submissions may be excluded from award consideration.

3.2 Reasonableness – The existence of adequate price competition is expected to support determination of

Reasonableness. In the event that the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist additional price analysis (to include requesting additional price information) may be required.

3.3 Balance – The Air Force will analyze offers to determine whether there are unbalanced separately priced line items or sub-line items. Prices submitted will be compared and evaluated to assure that a logical progression exists as related to price and quantity changes within each quote’s response to the pricing structure in the line items. Quotes that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Air Force.

4. EVALUATION FACTOR 2 – TECHNICAL QUOTE: The technical quote will be evaluated based on Personnel Experience.

TECHNICAL: ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE RATINGS

4.1 This factor is “Acceptable” when the Quote provides a résumé of an employee that has a minimum two (2) years experience in air compressor maintenance. The résumé shall include, but is not limited to, any training courses the employee has completed and the type of air compressors the employee has experience with.

5. EVALUATION FACTOR 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE: Past Performance will be evaluated based on the Air Force’s assessment of how well the respondent performed on recent and relevant prior projects. Respondents must receive an Acceptable rating to be eligible for award.

5.1. Offerors’ past performance will be evaluated in PPIRS for recency and relevance to this solicitation. To be considered recent, a project must have been performed within three years of this solicitation’s issuance date. Relevant performance includes performance of similar efforts to the scope, magnitude, and complexity of the work described by this solicitation.

5.2. Adverse information supports an “unacceptable” rating. For adverse information identified, the evaluation may consider the number and severity of the problem(s), mitigating circumstances, and the effectiveness of corrective actions that have resulted in sustained improvements.

5.3. The evaluation of past performance information will result in an overall assessment of acceptable or unacceptable as follows:

PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS

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.”

6. AWARD DETERMINATION:

6.1. Only quotes from responsible concerns whose submissions are evaluated as “acceptable” (initially or as a result of clarification, communications, or discussions) will be considered for award. Among those proposals an award determination will be made to the lowest reasonably priced quote, that is also balanced and complete.

6.2. 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 Air Force 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.
