52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Item (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 will be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Technical

(2) Past Performance

(3) Price

(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 will 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, will 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.

Addendum to FAR 52.212, Evaluation - Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

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

“(d) 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 and 15 and Air Force FAR Supplement (AFFARS) 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 Items, 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 (Technical factor and Past Performance factor). 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 clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The proposals will be evaluated against the following subfactors:

Subfactor 1, Technical Approach:

Submission of a technical approach to include detailed descriptions of how the requirements of the Performance Work Statement shall be met and how satisfactory performance shall be maintained throughout the performance period of the contract.

Subfactor 2, Key Personnel:

Submission of a list of key personnel to include qualifications, previous expierence, and a hierarchal, management structure. At a minimum, key personnel shall include a Contract Manager, Project Manager, and a Quality Assurance Manager.

(2) Past Performance Factor. The government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on all offerors based on any past performance information obtained from survey/questionnaires (Attachment 2), and any data independently obtained by the government. If a reference identified by the offeror in accordance with 52.212-1(m)B.4(b) does not submit a survey/questionnaire, the government may follow up with the reference POC, but it is not responsible for the failure of a reference POC to provide a survey/questionnaire.

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

(B) Relevant past performance is that which involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities to that required by this solicitation. 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 effort involved similar scope and 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.

(C) 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 questionnaire responses received under Section C of the Present/Past Performance Survey/Questionnaire (Attachment 2). 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)

Performance under Section C of the Present/Past Performance Survey/Questionnaire (Attachment 2) was marked as “Yes” indicating that during the contract period, contractor performance is meeting (or met) contract requirements. For any problems encountered, contractor took effective corrective action.

Unsatisfactory (U)

Performance under Section C of the Present/Past Performance Survey/Questionnaire (Attachment 2) was marked as “No” indicating that 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.

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 recent/relevant 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 recent/relevant 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 recent/relevant past performance or for whom past performance is not available, or so sparse that a meaningful past performance rating cannot be reasonably assigned, the offeror cannot be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror will be determined to have an unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” will be considered “Acceptable.”

(3) 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.

Total Evaluated Price: A TEP will be computed for each offer in order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17.

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; the sum of all extended amounts will be the offeror’s total proposed price.

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 Items, 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.
