(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(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--

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(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.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

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

(a) 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:

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

Evaluation Factors for Award

1. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY: The Government will utilize the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method for this requirement. LPTA source selection method is a simplified best value source selection strategy that permits award to the lowest priced offeror that meets the minimum requirements identified in the PWS. If a lower priced proposal is found to be technically unacceptable, an award can be made to a higher priced acceptable offer. The Government will award the contract to the contractor whose written response is technically acceptable and the lowest price. The Government will conduct the source selection evaluation as follows:

0. The Government will evaluate an offeror’s written technical proposal to determine to what degree the offeror’s proposal meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements of the PWS. Technical acceptability will be rated at the subfactor level, assigning each subfactor a rating of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” An offeror’s proposal must be rated “Acceptable” in all Technical subfactors to be eligible for award. Proposals that exceed the evaluation criteria will not receive higher ratings. In assessing the acceptability of each subfactor, the Government will identify any deficiencies in accordance with DoD Source Selection Procedures, Chapter 3, paragraph 3.5.4 and as defined in Chapter 5 (see below). Proposals that receive deficiencies in a subfactor will receive an “Unacceptable” subfactor rating.

Table A-1. Technical Evaluation Descriptors

The Government will then evaluate the Price of offerors rated “Acceptable” in all technical subfactors.

0. Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award a single contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers received for less than all the work reflected in the PWS will be considered ineligible for award.

0. The offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a Price and Technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them necessary. In the event that any offerors are eliminated from competition, a competitive range determination will be made.

0. Factors. This LPTA source selection will result in evaluation of three (3) factors: Technical, Price and Past Performance.

3. Technical. The Technical Proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail that substantiates stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet requirements. Statements that Offerors understand, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced documents, etc.); statements paraphrasing the PWS or phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used” or “work will continue as it has in the past” will be considered “Unacceptable.” Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the Offeror’s capabilities. The Government will base its evaluation solely on information presented in the Offeror’s written Technical Proposal.

3. The Technical Proposal will be limited to ten (10) pages; qualification summaries are not included in the page limitation. Font size must be no smaller than Times New Roman size 10. Margins shall not be any smaller than 1 inch. All aspects of the Technical Proposal will be included in the page count. A Table of Contents (ToC), compliance matrix and acronym definition pager are not technical proposal requirements, but may be provided at the discretion of each Offeror. If an Offeror chooses to provide a ToC, compliance matrix, or acronym definitions page, these documents will not be counted toward the stated page limit for technical proposals.

3. The Government will evaluate and rate each technical subfactor as follows:

Table A-2. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

3. Price: Please submit a Price Proposal listing the price by the base rate as well as fully burdened hourly rate for each Full Time Equivalent (FTE) proposed. See sample below:

Provide this pricing for the contract base period as well as all the option years. Ensure that you show the overall price for each year seperately with each year rolled up into the Total Price. The Total Price will be considered the Total Overall Evaluated Price. Insert the total price for each year into the SF 1449 Continuation Sheet for each CLIN and return the SF 1449 with your submission. Proposals in response to this solicitation will be valid for the period required until award is made.

(5) Tradeoffs are not permitted and no evaluation credit is given to aspects of an offerors proposal that exceed acceptability standards. This acquisition will result in a firm fixed price contract, level of effort in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

1. Evaluation Criteria. Evaluation criteria consist of factors and subfactors. The proposals will be evaluated under three evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance and Price.

(1) Factor 1 – Technical: In evaluation of Technical proposals, the Government will use the following criteria:

1.1 Sub-factor 1: Staffing Plan and Management Approach. The offeror’s proposal shall demonstrate the offeror’s ability to organize effectively and efficiently to successfully execute PWS requirements. The proposal shall address the offeror’s proposed labor categories and decision-making authority levels to include integration of teaming partners and/or subcontractors into the prime contractor’s organization.

· Criteria 1: The offeror’s approach describes and effectively demonstrates how candidates meet the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities required in the PWS.

· Criteria 2: The offeror’s approach describes and effectively demonstrates how the offeror will attract, recruit, hire, train, and retain qualified personnel to meet contract requirements.

· Criteria 3: The offeror's approach describes and demonstrates an effective approach to ensure continuity of services during personnel absences due to sickness, leave, and voluntary or involuntary termination from employment to avoid disruption of needed services.

1.2 Sub-factor 2: Mission Understanding. The offeror shall provide a description of its understanding of the tasks to fulfill PWS requirements. This is not intended to be a technical approach response but rather to demonstrate that the offeror understands the requirements.

· Criteria 1 – The offeror’s proposal describes and demonstrates effective knowledge of the Air Operation Squadron’s unique mission and how the ADIS/CARP software integrates into and support the mission.

0. Sub-factor 3: Transition. The offeror shall provide a detailed description of how they will accomplish a phase-in to meet full operational capability on contract start. The phase-in plan shall include a logical timeline to ensure a smooth start of the contract tasks without interruption or degradation of service levels.

· Criteria 1: The offeror's plan describes and demonstrates an effective approach to hire incumbent personnel or phase-in trained/qualified personnel with the appropriate security clearances required to assume contract tasks and responsibilities Day 1 of the contract.

· Criteria 2: The offeror’s Transition Plan describes and demonstrates an effective phase-in approach with realistic milestones that ensures no mission degradation and meets PWS requirements.

(2) Factor 2 – Past Performance: Describe two projects your company has completed, within the last five years, which reflect your company’s ability to perform duties outlined in the PWS. Each customer reference shall include a contracting and technical point of contact along with email address, phone number, and title. The Government may supplement the experience information provided with information concerning your experience from any other reliable source including its own experience with your company/subcontractors.

Table B-1. Past Performance Evaluation Rating

(3) Factor 3 – Price: This source selection is conducted with the expectation of adequate price competition and will rely on market forces and price analysis to ensure awarded prices are reasonable. An offeror may be determined not awardable if its price is evaluated as unfair or unreasonable.

0. Comparison of proposed prices received in response to this solicitation is the preferred and intended price analysis technique. The techniques and procedures described under FAR Subpart 15.404 will be the primary means of assessing price submission reasonableness as prescribed in FAR 16.505(b)(3). An offer may be determined unawardable if its price is evaluated as unfair or unreasonable. The government reserves the right to ask for additional information from technically acceptable offerors with proposed prices that appear exceptionally low. The Government plans on addressing any apparent exceptionally low prices by evaluating the offerors experience and/or capability in providing similar services at similar prices. An exceptionally or unrealistically low offer may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be the reason to reject an offeror’s proposal.

0. Total evaluated price will consist of the sum of all labor (FTEs), other direct costs for the base period, all option periods and fifty percent (50%) of the last option period price to cover the option to extend services in accordance with FAR clause 52.217-8. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price proposal meeting the minimum technical acceptable criteria in accordance with PWS.

0. As part of the Government’s evaluation of each offeror’s total evaluated price, the GS-13 Step 10 hourly rate, will be used by the Government as a minimum hourly labor rate for evaluating price realism for the three full time equivalents (FTEs). Any offeror submitting a price proposal based on hourly labor rates below the Government’s minimum hourly labor rate must fully explain and substantiate the basis for the proposed rate and adequately demonstrate they’ve performed similar services at similar prices and will be able to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel to satisfy the government’s requirements, or their proposal may be determined unawardable. Offerors must fully explain the basis and application of any proposed composite/blended labor rates in the price proposal. Price Realism Analysis will focus primarily on the hourly base pay rate to ensure contractors can effectively attract and retain qualified personnel. Price Analysis will evaluate other rates as proposed.

NOTE: Evaluation of the option periods shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Large Business Primes Only) Provide a Subcontracting Plan that complies with FAR Part 19, Small Business Programs, and its supplements. Identify the percentage of intended business with each of the following small business socioeconomic categories: Veteran-Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUB-Zone Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, and Women-Owned Small Business.

(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).

(c) 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.
