Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. 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, other than certified cost or pricing data, to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

3. To assure the timely and equitable evaluation of request for offerors shall follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet and address all of the requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements.

(End of provision)

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

(a) This competitive Request for Quote (RFQ) will be conducted in accordance with Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Price

2. Technical Acceptability

3. Past Performance

Technical and past performance, when combined, are equally important when compared to price. Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror who receive an “acceptable” ratings in past performance and technical evaluations.

Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in these preparation instructions.

Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror by the Government 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.

(b) By submission of its offer, in accordance with the instructions in clause 52.212-1 “Instructions to Offerors”, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and Performance Work Statement requirements. All offers shall be treated equally for technical portions and performance records. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

EVALUATION OF PAST PERFORMANCE

There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to determine whether the offeror’s performance information is recent and second, is the performance information relevant to the effort to be acquired (this acquisition). The third aspect is to determine how well the offeror performed on those contracts and the quality of product or service provided.

The past performance information to be evaluation on each offeror will be information available in CPARS and PPIRS as well as information available through other government sources (i.e. key government officials) regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement.

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 reasonable 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 evaluators will conduct an in-depth review and evaluation of all available performance data to determine how closely the work performed under those efforts relates to the proposed effort. The evaluation will consider the recency, relevancy, and quality of each performance reference as it relates to this acquisition when assigning the past performance rating. The main purpose of the past performance evaluation is to appropriately consider each offeror’s demonstrated record of contract compliance by supplying products and services that meet users’ needs, including business relations, management, schedule and performance quality constraints.

Recency. Recency will be assigned a rating of “Recent” or “Not Recent” for each relevant CPARS or PPIRS report.. Performance occurring within the last three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation will be considered “recent”. Reports on contracts with less than six months of performance will not be considered.

Relevancy. In evaluating relevancy, the Government will assign a rating of “Relevant” or “Not Relevant”.

Relevant performance for this acquisition is to have effectively managed a transportation program for a federal or DoD agency where cost, schedule, and performance were measured/evaluated.

Performance Quality. The Government will evaluate the quality of work performed for each PPI contract reference reviewed. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and services that meet user’s needs, including quality, cost and schedule. Performance assessed as “Satisfactory”, “Very Good”, or “Exceptional” in CPARs or PPQs shall be considered compliant with contract requirements. Any performance area assessed as “Unacceptable” shall be considered unfavorable.

Past Performance shall be evaluated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis. In the event of a negative comments of a offerors past performance, the contracting officer shall make a determination based on the factors listed in Table 1 Record of Past Performance.

TABLE 1 Record of Past Performance

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. To be rated acceptable, no Unsatisfactory ratings can be found in the past performance information.

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. To be rated unacceptable, a negative rating of Unsatisfactory will be identified by this office and validated by the Contracting Officer.

EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL

The technical rating reflects the degree to which the offeror’s proposal meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements. The focus is on the ability of the offerors proposal to meet the minimum requirements of the PWS. Each offeror shall submit information clearly identified for the following technical subfactor; subfactor A, Plans. Offerors shall submit at a minimum the following information:

Subfactor A: Plans

Aspect 1: The Staffing Plan shall be evaluated on how the offeror will:

(1) Ensure a sufficent number of contract personnel will be available for successful execution of the requirement program

(2) Organizational structure detailing line(s) of authority, to include subcontractors and teaming partner.

(3) Cohesive functional relationships, roles and responsibilities that will ensure acceptable communication both within the company and with the government to execute the PWS requirements.

Aspect 2: The Phase-In/Out Plan shall be evaluated on how the offeror will maintain continuity in service during transition.

Technical subfactor. To be determined technically acceptable and to be eligible for award, offerors are required to receive an “Acceptable” rating in the technical subfactor; an overall factor level rating will not be assigned.

Proposals that exceed the evaluation criteria will not receive higher ratings.

TABLE 2. Technical Subfactor (s)

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

EVALUATION OF PRICE

Price will be evaluated using techniques established in FAR 15.404-1 to ensure the Government receives a fair, reasonable and balanced price. If the Government cannot determine the proposed pricing to be fair and reasonable, other than cost and pricing data will be obtained from the offerors. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all CLINS including phase-in, phase-out, basic period, option years, optional CLINS and fifty percent (50%) of the last option period price to cover the option to extend services IAW clause 52.217-8.

There is a great expectation of competition for this requirement; offerors are cautioned to present their best price proposal up-front. The offeror’s price proposal shall represent the offeror’s best effort to respond to the solicitation.

NOTE: Evaluation of the optional line items and/or option periods shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

Option to Extend Services. Both the solicitation and resultant contract shall contain FAR Clause 52.217-8, entitled “Option to Extend Services”. This clause allows for up to an additional 6 month continued contract performance if required. Interested offerors shall not include pricing in their proposal for this clause as fifty percent (50%) of the last option period shall be used for the pricing if clause 52.217-8 is required.

Materially Unbalanced Offer If the PCO sees a wide variation in prices, the PCO can consider the need to amend the solicitation or ask the offeror(s) appropriate questions. Unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal.

(End of provision)
