CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

1. The Government will award a 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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

a. Price

b. Technical Approach

c. Past Performance

Past Performance and Technical when combined are significantly more important than cost or price.

2. Basis for Contract Award:

a. This solicitation is conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items in conjunction with the policies and procedures for solicitation, evaluation and award prescribed in Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures; and/or Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, as appropriate for the particular acquisition. The solicitation is further supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS). These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FARSite, http://farsite.hill.af.mil.

b. A contract will be awarded to the lowest priced offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Addendum to 52.212-1), receives an “Acceptable” Technical Approach rating and receives a “Substantial Confidence” Past Performance rating. Failure to provide a complete offer conforming to the entire solicitation (i.e. 52.212-1, 52.212-2, Applicable Addendums & contract provisions/clauses) will result in that offeror not being eligible for award.

3. Number of Contracts to be Awarded:

The Government intends to award one (1) contract as a result of this solicitation; however, the Government reserves the right to award separate contracts, if this represents the best value to the Government.

4. Evaluation Process

a. First, the Government will arrange all proposals conforming to the solicitation by Total Evaluated Price (TEP) from lowest to highest and evaluate prices in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(2).

b. Secondly, the Government will evaluate the Technical Approach of the lowest priced offeror and assign a rating of either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”. If the lowest priced offeror receives a Technical Approach rating of “Unacceptable”, the Government evaluation team will evaluate the next eligible offeror (in order by price) until an “Acceptable” rating is achieved or until all offerors are evaluated. As part of an offerors Technical Approach, each Sub factor must be individually responded to.

Responses must demonstrate a clear understanding of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and provide clear evidence of an ability to comply. A failure to address all sub factors and/or provide clear evidence will result in that offeror being determined non-responsive and remove them from consideration. The Government shall evaluate an offerors Technical Approach using the ratings identified in Table 1.

Table 1 – TECHNICAL APPROACH RATINGS Rating

Description

ACCEPTABLE

Offeror’s has provided clear evidence that they meet the requirements of Sub Factors 1-3 and the Government has an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

UNACCEPTABLE

Offeror’s has not provided clear evidence that they meet the requirements of Sub Factors 1-3 and the Government does not have an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

http://farsite.hill.af.mil/

c. Once a technically acceptable proposal is found the selection process will move to past performance; if the past performance is rated as “Substantial Confidence” award will be made; if a lower than “Substantial Confidence” past performance rating is assigned, the evaluation team will review the next lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal and the process will restart until a proposal with a past performance rating of “substantial confidence” is found; at that point a tradeoff analysis between price and performance confidence will be conducted and the Government will make a determination as to the best value to the Government. If no contractor’s past performance is rated “Substantial Confidence” the Government reserves the right to award to a lower confidence rated contractor after a tradeoff analysis between price and performance confidence is conducted and the Government will make a determination as to the best value to the Government.

(1) The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror’s past performance deemed relevant to the requirements of the PWS. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel (if applicable) who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to this acquisition. The Government shall evaluate an offerors Past Performance using the ratings identified in Table 2.

Table 2 – Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Method

Adjectival Rating

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.

(2) The Government will use the following recency and relevancy definitions when assessing recent and relevant contracts:

(a) Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past five (5) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Any single reference that fails this condition may be deemed to be “Not Recent” and may result in a Past Performance rating lower than “Substantial Confidence”.

(b) Relevancy Assessment: As described in Table 3 below, the Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the provided products/services performed under those contracts relate to the Performance Work Statement (to include magnitude of effort). Each reference will be assigned a rating IAW Table 3. Magnitude of effort is defined by dollar value. Failure to provide references of more than $515,000 per year may not be considered within the magnitude of effort and will be rated as “Not Relevant”. A cumulative relevancy determination of the offeror’s past performance will be made based upon the aforementioned considerations, including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s). In determining relevancy for individual references, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Past performance information deemed “Not Relevant” may result in a lower than “Substantial Confidence” past performance rating.

Table 3 – Past Performance Relevancy Rating Method

Adjectival Rating

Very Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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.

(c) In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance volume and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers and Fee Determining Officials; the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and commercial sources. Negative performance revealed as a result of sources above may result in a past performance rating lower than, “Substantial Confidence”.

5. Evaluation Factors & Sub factors

a. Factor One, Price (Volume I): For the purpose of evaluation the Government will evaluate an Offerors proposed price utilizing one or more of the techniques located at FAR 15.404- 1(b)(2). Proposed prices shall be fully burdened inclusive of all direct and indirect costs (e.g., profit, fringe benefits, salary, indirect rates and overtime hours.) An offeror’s Total Evaluated Price will be determined by adding (CLINs 0001-0010). As part of an offerors pricing volume, you are required to provide a completed Bid Schedule provided as attachment #2. Failure to provide a completed bid schedule with the TEP will result in that offeror being determined non-responsive and remove them from consideration.

b. Factor Two, Technical Approach (Volume II): The purpose of the technical factor(s) is to assess the offeror’s proposed approach, as detailed in its proposal, to satisfy the Government’s requirements.

(1) Sub Factor 1, Executive Summary: Offeror shall provide a brief summary detailing their understanding and ability to meet all technical core requirements and performance standards in the

PWS, specifcally Sections 4.0-4.5 Subtasks and 7.0-7.16 Security and Appendix A-C. Offerors must provide a clear understanding of the Security Requirements outlined in Attachment #3, DD Form 254 and Section 7. Do not just regurgitate the PWS. Offerors who repeat the PWS will be deemed to have a lack of understanding and comprehension. This sub factor is met when the offeror provides an executive summary reflecting a positive statement of understanding of the core requirements in the PWS. Failure to identify PWS understanding will result in an “Unacceptable” Technical Approach rating and that offeror will not be considered for award.

(2) Sub Factor 2, Staffing Plan: Offeror shall provide a detailed and effective staffing plan containing a personnel matrix which identifies the personnel resources to perform the PWS tasks.

The plan shall provide a logical approach that ensures timely support and shall specifically address the following requirement: The identification of “key personnel” and the requisite educational and experience level showing the individuals’ ability to comply with the minimum requirements of the PWS (subtasks 4.1 through 4.4) through the use of sample resumes. Any deviation from the Government provided estimated workload, Appendix B in the PWS, must be identified in the staffing plan. In addition, if a deviation does occur, the offeror must specifically address their plan to accomplish the workload with their offered workload days. This sub factor is met when the offeror provides a detailed plan with sample resumes demonstrating a clear understanding of all staffing you will be required to provide in support of this contract. Each organization (50 ARS, 91 ARS, 99 ARS) operates independently from one another. Cross-utilization of manpower and/or failure to identify a complete understanding of the staffing required will result in an “Unacceptable” Technical Approach rating and that offeror will not be considered for award.

(3) Sub Factor 3, Quality Control/Recruitment Plan: Offeror shall provide a detailed plan presenting what quality control/recruitment methods offeror will have in place to ensure you continue to meet all PWS requirements. The plan shall provide a logical approach that ensures timely support and shall specifically address the following requirement: The identification of how the offeror will continue services during personnel turnover. If the original personnel are terminated or resign, how will the staffing plan be adjusted to recruit new personnel to keep quality control of the contract? The plan must include the degree to which and the manner in which your organization effectively recruits qualified personnel. The plan must demonstrate your ability to retain valuable contract employees to prevent the negative impact of frequent turnover to include: Recruiting and retention procedures, promotion policy, termination policy, and risk mitigation efforts and how they will mitigate risk associated with award of the contract. This sub factor is met when the offeror provides a detailed narrative demonstrating a clear understanding of the quality control/recruitment you will be required to provide in ongoing support of this contract.

Failure to identify a complete understanding of the ongoing quality control/recruitment required will result in an “Unacceptable” Technical Approach rating and that offeror will not be considered for award.

c. Factor Three, Past Performance (Volume III): The past performance evaluation factor assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in an offeror’s ability to supply services that meets users’ needs, based on a demonstrated record of performance. Offerors must provide (as part of Volume III) a list (references) of no more than three (3) of their the most recent and relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers (only the first three references found in Volume III will be evaluated).

All submissions will be evaluated cumulatively.

Offerors must furnish the following information for each reference provided:

- Company/Division name

- Product/Service

- Contracting Agency/Customer

- Contract Number

- Contract Dollar Value

- Period of Performance

- Verified, up-to-date name, address, telephone number and email address of the contracting officer or any representative able to validate performance history

- Summary of services provided and a description of how closely the provided services performed under those contracts relate to the Performance Work Statement

- Comments regarding compliance with contract terms and conditions

- Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions

Offerors whom do not provide references due to a lack of relevant past performance must identify such in writing as part of Volume III. Offerors lacking relevant past performance will be assigned a rating of “Neutral Confidence” IAW ratings identified in Table # 2. However, a “Substantial Confidence” and “Satisfactory Confidence” will be rated higher than a “Neutral Confidence”.

6. 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.
