(b) Insert proposed unit prices in RFP Section B for each Contract Line Item Numbers

(CLINs). The extended amount must equal the whole dollar unit multiplied by the number of units. The contract award is expected to be awarded using a single CLIN that encompasses the entire scope of work using a single type of bead.

EVALUATION FACTORS

Section M – Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA)

(Non-commercial)

M BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Department of

Defense (DoD) FAR Supplement Procedures, Guidance and Information Subpart 215.3, and Air Force FAR

Supplement (AFFARS) Mandatory Procedure (MP) 5315.3. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in provision FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition, the offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable. Award will be made to the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP) offer that meets the acceptability standards for non-price factors. The evaluation process will include the following:

A. Technical Acceptability Factor. The government will evaluate proposals on a pass/fail basis and assign an

Acceptable or Unacceptable rating as described in Table 1 below.

Table 1. Technical Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

B. Price Evaluation Factor. The government will rank all offers by TEP. The price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the TEP. The government reserves the right to perform price realism analysis. If the

Government elects to perform a price realism analysis, the Government reserves discretion over the method within which it performs its price realism analysis. If the Government elects to perform a price realism analysis and finds a proposal unrealistic or unbalanced, the Government may withhold award to that offeror.

Total Evaluated Price: A TEP will be computed for each offer in order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6.

The TEP is a two-part computation. First, the offeror’s total proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B 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. Next, a TEP will be calculated for the use of

Type I beads (CLIN 0004) and a TEP will be calculated for the use of Type III beads. The TEP calculations are:

TEP USING TYPE I BEADS = SUM of CLIN 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0006, 0007

TEP USING TYPE III BEADS = SUM of CLIN 0001, 0002, 0003, 0005, 0006, 0007

The Government will make a determination on which type of bead is most advantageous to the Government.

The Government will then select the LPTA proposal for award if funding is available.

The contract award is expected to be awarded using a single CLIN that encompasses the entire scope of work.

C. 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 J-5), and (iii) any data independently obtained by the government. If a reference identified by the offeror in accordance with Sec L, paragraph B.4(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.

(1) Recent past performance information includes contracts performed and/or being performed for any customer within the last three (3) years prior to the issuance date of the solicitation.

file://///Periwinkle/SAF_AQC_ORG/AQCP/5640%20-%20AFFARS/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR31.doc%23b522121

(2) The government will assess relevancy for each contract and assign a rating as described in Table 2 below:

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Rating Definition

Relevant

Present/past performance involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexity that 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.

(3) Performance Quality Assessment: For each of the recent and relevant past performance information reviewed, the performance quality of work will be assessed based on the (i) Quality Assessment Criteria evaluated under Past Performance Survey/Questionnaire and (ii) the evaluation ratings in the Federal Past Performance

Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), if available. Each recent and relevant past performance information reviewed will be assigned a rating as described in Table 3 below:

Table 3. Quality Assessment Ratings

Rating Rating Definition

Satisfactory (S)

During the contract period, contractor performance is meeting (or met) contract requirements. For any problems encountered, contractor took effective corrective action.

Unsatisfactory (U)

During the contract period, contractor performance is not meeting (or did not meet) contract requirements. For any problems encountered, corrective action appeared only marginally effective, not effective, or not fully implemented. Customer involvement was required.

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. Offerors must receive a past performance rating of “Acceptable” to be eligible for award. For offerors in a teaming arrangement where two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture (JV), the following will apply: (i) for a JV at least one partner must be rated “Acceptable;” and (ii) for prime-subcontractor(s) partnerships, the prime must be rated “Acceptable” in order for the partnership to be rated “Acceptable” as a whole.

As a result of the recency, relevancy, and performance quality assessments, offerors will receive an integrated past performance rating as described in Table 4 below:

Table 4, Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable 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.

Unacceptable 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.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating cannot be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR

15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have an unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral shall be considered “acceptable.”

D. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in Section L of this solicitation. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposals. Exchanges conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision. 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.

E. Award will be made to the lowest priced offer, based on TEP, which meets the acceptability standards for non-price factors.
