FA524025R0011 Termite Inspection and Treatment Services Attachment 5 – Evaluation Criteria

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12, 13 and 15, Department of Defense (DoD) FAR Supplement Procedures, Guidance and Information Subpart 215.3, and Department of the Air Force FAR Supplement (DAFFARS) Mandatory Procedure (MP) 5315.3. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, 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:

(1) Technical Acceptability Factor. The government will evaluate technical 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.

(2) Past Performance Factor. The government will evaluate past performance information on all offerors based on an acceptable/unacceptable basis using the ratings as described in Table 2 below.

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 can 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 unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

Table 2. Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Method Rating Rating Definition

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 (see note above).

Unacceptable

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(3) Price Evaluation Factor. The government will rank all offers by TEP. The price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the TEP. In addition, each offeror’s separately priced line items or subline items shall be analyzed to determine if the prices are unbalanced in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g). The government reserves the right to perform price realism analysis. If the Government elects to perform a price realism analysis, the file://Periwinkle/SAF_AQC_ORG/AQCP/5640%20-%20AFFARS/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR31.doc#b522121

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, 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 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 (base plus all option years) will be determined evaluating each offeror’s price proposal submitted via mandatory pricing sheet (Attachment 2). All prices are limited to two decimal places, for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). 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 – 2004) plus the sum of Option to Extend Services clause 52.217-8 formula (shown below) will constitute the TEP.

Annual average of extended total price = [(BY + OY1 + OY2 + OY3 + OY4)/5]

2 2 (BY – base year; OY – option year)

Evaluating the Option CLINs does not obligate the government to exercise the Options.

(4) Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and, in the format, specified in 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, 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.

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