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:

(ii) price; (iii) past performance

(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.

(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

(End of provision)

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items

The following is inserted as new paragraph (d) of the provision:

(d) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive Limited Tradeoff (LTO) best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

Parts 12 and 15 and Air Force FAR Supplement (AFFARS) Mandatory Procedure (MP)

5315.3 in which competing offerors’ past performance information will be evaluated on a basis approximately equal to price. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and evaluation factors. The government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest Total

Evaluated Price (TEP), if the difference in the Past Performance Confidence Rating of another offeror justifies the higher price premium. In that event, the Source Selection Authority will make an integrated assessment best value award decision using the TEP and the Past

Performance Confidence Rating. The evaluation process will include the following:

(1) Price Evaluation Factor. The government will evaluate all offers by price, including all option prices. The price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the Total

Evaluated Price (TEP). The government reserves the right to perform price realism analysis either to ascertain the offeror’s understanding of the requirement or to evaluate the feasibility of successful performance of the contract requirements at the proposed price.

Total Evaluated Price: A TEP will be computed for each offer in order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17. The price of a six-month extension authorized by 52.217- 8, Option to

Extend Services, will be added to the proposed price for each potential contract performance period.

The TEP is a two-part computation. First, the offeror’s total proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Pricing Schedule (SF 1449, continuation of blocks

19 – 24) by the unit price, limited to two decimal places, for each Contract Line Item Number

(CLIN) to confirm the extended total amount for each CLIN; the sum of all extended amounts will be the offeror’s total proposed price. Second, the total proposed price (total amount for

CLINs 0001-0006) plus the sum of Option to Extend Services clause 52.217-8 formula (shown below) will constitute the TEP.

The formula for the Option to Extend Services amount is as follows:

Base Year = Total Cost of CLINs 0001-0006 x .5

Option Year 1 = Total Cost of CLINs 1001-1006 x .5

Option Year 2 = Total Cost of CLINs 2001-2006 x .5

Option Year 3 = Total Cost of CLINs 3001-3006 x .5

Option Year 4 = Total Cost of CLINs 4001-4006 x .5

(2) Past Performance Factor. The government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on all offerors based on (i) the references provided by the offeror, and (ii) any past performance information obtained from survey/questionnaires (Attachment 3), and (iii) any data independently obtained by the government. If a reference identified by the offeror in accordance with 52.212-1B(3)(c) does not submit a survey/questionnaire, the government will follow up with the reference POC, but it is not responsible for the failure of a reference POC to provide a survey/questionnaire.

Past performance regarding predecessor companies of the offeror and/or subcontractors, key personnel, and subcontractors that will perform major aspects identified in PWS Section 2.0 of the requirement, if applicable will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror.

(A) Recent past performance information includes contracts performed and/or being performed for any customer within the last ten (10) years prior to the issuance date of the solicitation.

(B) The government will assess relevancy for each contract and assign a rating as described in

Table 2 below:

Table 1. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Rating Definition

Very Relevant Present/past performance involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as the effort required by this solicitation

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) Performance Quality Assessment: For each of the recent past performance information reviewed, the performance quality of work will be assessed based on the (i) Quality

Assessment Criteria evaluated under Section E of Present/Past Performance

Survey/Questionnaire and (ii) the evaluation ratings in the Federal Past Performance

Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), if available.

(D) The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the degree of confidence the

Government has in the offeror’s ability to meet the solicitation requirements based on the offeror’s demonstrated record of performance. The assessment process will result in an offeror’s overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence.

Offerors with no recent past or present performance history or the offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned will receive the rating “Unknown Confidence,” meaning the offeror is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably (neutral). As a result of the relevancy and performance quality assessments, offerors will receive an integrated past performance confidence assessment rating as described in Table 3 below:

TABLE 2. Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings

Rating Description

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

government has an expectation that the offeror will

LIMITED CONFIDENCE

government has a low expectation that the offeror will

NO CONFIDENCE

government has no expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE No performance is identifiable or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Note: In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.

(1) The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors.

The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

(2) Integrated Assessment. The government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest price offer if the difference in the Past Performance Confidence Rating of another offeror justifies the higher price premium. In that event, the Source Selection Authority will make an integrated assessment best value award decision using the TEP and the Past

Performance Confidence Rating.”
