CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (APR 2010)

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that-

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals-

(A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

(C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision.; and

(D) Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent

Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(ii) The Offeror has ( ) has not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager;

head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

(End of provision)

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

(a) This competitive Request for Quote (RFQ) will be conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition

Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and FAR 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

All offerors will be ranked by total contract price from low to high, and will then be evaluated for both Technical and

Past Performance. Technical and Past Performance will be evaluated on a “Pass/Fail” basis. Offerors shall receive a

“Pass” rating for both Technical and Past Performance in order to be eligible for award. The government will evaluate the 4 (four) lowest priced offerors for technical acceptability, past performance acceptability and price reasonableness. Should the lowest priced offerors not receive an acceptable technical and past performance rating and cannot be remedied through minor corrections, the process will continue in order of price until 4 (four) offerors with acceptable technical and past performance rating and fair and reasonable price - are identified. Award will be made to the offeror with the lowest proposed price and receiving a “Pass” rating for both Technical and Past

Performance.

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) 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). In accordance with FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, the Government will evaluate 50% (or 6 months’ worth) of the final option year price to determine the price to be fair and reasonable in the case that this extension clause needs to be utilized.

(c) 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 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 basic period, option years, 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 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 only if clause 52.217-8 is required.

Materially Unbalanced Offer: If the contracting officer sees a wide variation in prices, the contracting officer 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.

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 identifying how they will meet the following technical criteria. Offerors shall submit at a minimum the following information:

Each technical quote shall be evaluated on how the offeror will:

Factor 1: Offeror clearly defines procedures to ensure Computer/IT and Test Administrator personnel qualifications as outlined in PWS, para 1.2.6.2.

Factor 2: Offeror clearly shows the ability to ensure continued Test Administrator and Computer/IT services during contractor employee absence for a sick day and/or extended absence as outlined in PWS, para 1.2.1.2.

Technical will be evaluated on a “Pass/Fail” basis. To receive a rating of “Pass,” the offeror must adequately address their plan to meet the above mentioned technical criteria. Offerors must receive a rating of “Pass” for technical in order to be eligible for award. Proposals that exceed the evaluation criteria will not receive higher ratings.

TABLE 1. Technical

Rating Description

Pass Proposal clearly meets the minimum technical requirements of the solicitation.

Fail Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum technical requirements of the solicitation.

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 in 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 evaluated 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. The government will evaluate the past performance references provided by the offeror as part of their past performance volume in the response to the solicitation.

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, PPIRS, other government agency-provided reference and references provided by the offeror. 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 provided services similar to scope of this requirement, to include services for commercial as well as federal or DoD agencies.

Performance Quality. The Government will evaluate the quality of work performed for each past performance contract reference reviewed. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and/or services that meet user’s needs, including quality, cost and schedule.

Performance assessed as “Satisfactory”, “Very Good”, or “Exceptional” shall be considered compliant with contract requirements. Any performance area assessed as “Marginal” or “Unsatisfactory” shall be considered unfavorable.

Past Performance shall be evaluated on a “Pass/Fail” basis. In the event of negative comments of a offerors past performance, the contracting officer shall make a determination based on the factors listed in Table 2 below. If an offeror is determined to have “Marginal” or “Unsatisfactory” past performance ratings, they will be given an overall past performance rating of “Fail.”

TABLE 2. Past Performance

Pass 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.

Fail 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 “Fail”, a negative rating of Marginal or

Unsatisfactory will be identified by this office and validated by the Contracting

Officer.

52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (MAR 2015)

ALTERNATE I (OCT 2014)

The offeror shall complete only paragraphs (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) Web site accessed through http://www.acquisition.gov . If the Offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, the Offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (p) of this provision.

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--http://www.acquisition.gov/

“Economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) concern” means a small business concern that is at least 51 percent directly and unconditionally owned by, and the management and daily business operations of which are controlled by, one or more women who are citizens of the United States and who are economically disadvantaged in accordance with 13 CFR part 127. It automatically qualifies as a women-owned small business eligible under the WOSB Program.

“Forced or indentured child labor” means all work or service—
