Addendum to 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 Government will utilize the subjective tradeoff method as identified in DoD Source Selection Procedures dated 31 March 2016.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: Two (2) evaluation factors will be used to evaluate proposals:

Technical Capability broken down into three (3) subfactors and rated using the Combined Technical/Risk Rating Method (Table 1A), and Price Proposal.

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

SUBFACTOR 1 – Past Experience SUBFACTOR 2 – Education SUBFACTOR 3 – Licensure

SUBFACTOR 1 –Past Experience:

This subfactor is met when the offeror thoroughly, completely, and accurately provides documentation of at least twelve (12) months of recent and relevant past experience within the last thirty six (36) months. Contractors must have a minimum of six (6) months of relevant service. The government will contact submitted names to verify offeror’s past experience.

Strength: Twenty four (24) or more months of recent and relevant past experience within the last thirty six

(36) months

SUBFACTOR 2 –Education:

This subfactor is met when an offeror thoroughly, completely, and accurately submits and fully addresses all of the following criteria listed in this subfactor. Provided copy of Associates Degree or Diploma degree/documentation showing that they have graduated from a US nationally accredited nursing program; will be verified by 35th Medical Group to ensure the name on the license matches the applicant and the college of nursing is accredited.

Strength: Advanced degree – Masters Degree or above in Nursing

SUBFACTOR 3 – Licensure:

This subfactor is met when an offeror thoroughly, completely, and accurately submits and fully addresses all of the following criteria listed in this subfactor. The 35th Medical Group will verify licenses by the state licensing board website for the state the license was issued from to ensure it is active, current, valid and unrestricted and from a US jurisdiction.

Strength: No identified strengths for this subfactor

FACTOR II – PRICE PROPOSAL

An offeror’s proposed prices will be verified on the Solicitation CLIN Pricing Schedule by multiplying the quantities identified for each item number in the price schedule by the proposed unit price to confirm the extended amount for each price schedule item. The extended price for each line item will then be added together to arrive at a total evaluated price. As this requirement is a “commercial” service that will result in a “firm-fixed-priced” contract, a comparison of offeror’s proposed, competitive prices will satisfy the requirement for price analysis. The price evaluation will be accomplished by conducting price analysis to assess and compare proposed prices and reasonableness of the proposed total evaluated price as defined in FAR 15.404-1 and FAR 15.305.

Firm-fixed-price contract provides for a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor’s cost experience in performing the contract. (FAR 16.202-1).

Table 1A: Combined Technical/Risk Rating Method

Color Rating

Adjectival Rating

Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

Table 1B. Technical Risk Rating

Adjectival Rating Description Low Proposal may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may potentially cause disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

Unacceptable Proposal contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.

B. AWARD DETERMINATION: As a result of the Government‘s aforementioned evaluation, all offerors quotes will be evaluated if they are received by the deadline stated in the solicitation. Of those quotes, an award determination will be made to the offeror whose quote offers the best value to the Government and conforms to the requirements of the solicitation and PWS.

Technical rating and Risk rating, when combined, are approximately equal to price.

(b) Options. The total amount of all options along with a six month extension added to each option year will be used to evaluate the aggregate price; however the total actual value of the contract will not reflect the six month extension as it is dependent on the year it is used and may not be used at all.

Example:

Year Overall Price Evaluation Six Month Extension

Total Evaluated Price

Base $100 $50 $150 Option 1 $200 $100 $300

TOTAL EVALUATED PRICE: $450

TOTAL AWARDED CONTRACT AMOUNT: $100 with $200 unexercised option year

(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 once the awardee signs or begins work. 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.
