252.213-7000 NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE SUPPLIERS ON USE OF PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM--STATISTICAL REPORTING IN PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS (JUNE 2015)

(a) The Past Performance Information Retrieval System--Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR) application (http://www.ppirs.gov/) will be used in the evaluation of suppliers' past performance in accordance with DFARS 213.106-2(b)(i).

(b) PPIRS-SR collects quality and delivery data on previously awarded contracts and orders from existing Department of Defense reporting systems to classify each supplier's performance history by Federal supply class (FSC) and product or service code (PSC). The PPIRS-SR application provides the contracting officer quantifiable past performance information regarding a supplier's quality and delivery performance for the FSC and PSC of the supplies being purchased.

(c) The quality and delivery classifications identified for a supplier in PPIRS-SR will be used by the contracting officer to evaluate a supplier's past performance in conjunction with the supplier's references (if requested) and other provisions of this solicitation under the past performance evaluation factor. The Government reserves the right to award to the supplier whose quotation or offer represents the best value to the Government.

(d) PPIRS-SR classifications are generated monthly for each contractor and can be reviewed by following the access instructions in the PPIRS-SR User's Manual found at https://www.ppirs.gov/pdf/PPIRS-SR_UserMan.pdf. Contractors are granted access to PPIRS-SR for their own classifications only. Suppliers are encouraged to review their own classifications, the PPIRS-SR reporting procedures and classification methodology detailed in the PPIRS-SR User's Manual, and PPIRS-SR Evaluation Criteria available from the references at https://www.ppirs.gov/pdf/PPIRS-SR_DataEvaluationCriteria.pdf.

Additionally, as the resultant award will be a Firm Fixed Price contract-type and multiple awards will not be considered.

1. Proposed pricing must be submitted in Pound Sterling (£) and remain valid for 180-days after the closing date of this solicitation.

INFORMATIONAL PRICING NOTE:

TUPE - (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006)

Definition. The United Kingdom’s Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) is the main piece of legislation governing the transfer of an undertaking, or part of one, to another. The regulations are designed to protect the rights of employees in a transfer situation.

During the solicitation phase and award of the resultant contract the Government does not have access to specific TUPE information nor becomes involved with related TUPE processes and associated liabilities (to include indemnification) that may transpire during pre-award or post-award phases between transferor and transferee. While the Government fully understands the relevance of TUPE-information in proposing fixed prices, the responsibility to provide TUPE-information rests solely with the transferor; governed by Regulation 11 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employees) Regulations 2006 (TUPE). As the transferor need only provide TUPE information to the transferee prior to the transfer, the Government will only make available the listing of the current, incumbent contractor(s) with associated points of contact if requested. The Government is not responsible for determination of TUPE applicability; the responsibility lies solely with the transferor.

As this is a firm-fixed price contract it is incumbent upon the offeror to calculate any anticipated TUPE pricing at time of proposal submittal. TUPE costs cannot be submitted as a conditional proposal, if submitted as such the offeror’s proposal will be considered unacceptable and the offeror may be excluded from competition.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

Addendum to 52.212-2 EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

1. 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:

Evaluation Factors and Subfactors:

1. AWARD PROCESS/BASIS FOR AWARD. The following 4 steps will be utilized:

0. Step 1: An evaluation of the technical acceptability of each offeror’s proposal will be accomplished in accordance with Factor 1, Technical Capability and Table 1.0, identified in section 2 of this addendum. If adverse discrepancies in the offerors technical information occurs which cannot be corrected through exchanges without creating the appearance of unintentional bias to a particular contractor then the offeror will no longer be considered for award. Offerors are advised that any features or technical offerings that exceed the stated requirements and are accepted by the Government may be incorporated into the resultant contract as a minimum standard.

0. Step 2: An evaluation of past performance of all offers determined to be technically acceptable will be made in accordance with Factor 2, Past Performance, identified in section 3, and a performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned based on recency, and the degree of relevancy and level of quality pursuant to Table 1.1 through 1.3.

0. Step 3: An evaluation of price reasonableness of all offers determined to be technically acceptable will be made in accordance with Factor 3, Price, identified in section 4 of this provision, and then ranked by the total evaluated price, which will be used to establish a competitive range.

0. Step 4: An integrated evaluation of Price and Past Performance will be conducted as the final step during which the government will determine the proposal which presents the best value to the government.

0. Basis for Award: Award will be made based on the competitive best value source selection. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including the terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception they take to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide a complete accompanying rationale. However, failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable. If the technically acceptable offeror with the lowest total evaluated price has a substantial past performance confidence, the government may award to that offeror without further evaluation. However, a tradeoff decision may be made with past performance being approximately equal to price if the technically acceptable, lowest total evaluated priced offeror does not have a substantial past performance confidence rating. Best value will be determined based on an integrated assessment of each proposal in terms of Past Performance and Price. While the Government’s evaluation team will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process, by its nature, is subjective, and therefore, good business judgement will be used in making any tradeoff decision, and the basis for the decision will be thoroughly documented. The Government intends to award without further exchanges with the offerors; however, the Government reserves the right to request additional information and/or corrections from any or all offerors if necessary, at any time, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

0. Evaluation Factors:

5. The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal:

Factor 1: Technical Capability

Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price

1. FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: Offerors will be evaluated on written documentation provided IAW Part 1, Sections 1 through 4 of the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items. Technical acceptability is based on successfully meeting this requirement. To be determined technically acceptable at the factor level, the Offeror must be rated acceptable in each subfactor. A final unacceptable subfactor assessment will determine an overall technical unacceptable rating. The rating applied to Technical Capability and all four subfactors of Technical Capability will be “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” as indicated in the chart below:

Table 1.0 Technical Criteria Rating Chart

Offerors must have an “Acceptable” rating in order to be considered for further evaluation.

0. Subfactor 1: The offeror’s transition plan will be evaluated for completeness and thoroughness in addressing all transition activities identified in Part 1 of the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors — Commercial. The Measure of Merit is met when the offeror demonstrates their ability to have all of the properly trained personnel in place to execute the contract from the first day of performance. This includes, but is not limited to, evaluation of transition plans by the offeror that detail descriptions and complete timeline of all transition activities necessary to begin successful performance on the performance start date. The offeror’s transition approach must reflect that they are aware of all transition requirements to achieve successful transition. In addition the offeror’s approach must successfully demonstrate that they can meet all associated timelines.

0. Subfactor 2: The Measure of Merit is met when the offeror’s Management Plan fully address each of the areas identified in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Part 1, section 2, points a through e, and demonstrates capability to successfully manage and perform the contract. Failure to provide a Management Plan that fully addresses all of the areas identified in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Part 1, Section 2, points a through e will render the proposal unacceptable.

0. Subfactor 3: The Measure of Merit is met when the offeror’s Quality Control plan demonstrates a complete and thorough response to each of the areas identified in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Part 1, Section 3, points a through e. Evaluation will assess if all of these aspects have been thoroughly addressed to include associated approaches that demonstrate the offeror can successfully control the quality of the service and that it conforms to contract requirements, specifically the performance thresholds for each requirement in the Services Summary (section 2) in the PWS.

0. Subfactor 4: The Mission Essential Services Plan includes a method on how the contractor will provide mission essential services during a crisis or emergency outlined in the PWS paragraph 4.10. The contractor must illustrate how resources and personnel will be available and how the contractor intends to use them during crisis or emergency events. The Measure of Merit for the Mission Essential Plan is met when the contractor has demonstrated how it will ensure that the necessary personnel will be available during crisis or emergency.

(3) FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE:

0. Ratings: As outlined in FAR 52.212-1, Factor 2, past performance will be evaluated using 3 areas: (i) Recency: Offerors must demonstrate performance on contracts being currently performed and/or that were performed within the last three (3) years from the date of this solicitation, except that ongoing programs must have begun no less than one (1) year from the date of this solicitation; past performance which is not recent will not be further evaluated; (ii) Relevancy: Offerors will be evaluated on the extent the offeror’s past performance is deemed relevant to this requirement. Offerors are required to demonstrate that the approximately same major tasks and similar workload as required under this solicitation have been performed via detailed past performance questionnaires. Consideration in regard to scope will be assessed based on the similarities in workload between a given Past Performance effort and this requirement, which is in itself defined by the PWS and appendices located as Attachment 1 of the RFP.

DEGREE

DESCRIPTION

0. Quality Rating: In the evaluation of Past Performance with regards to quality, the Government will consider the information provided through the questionnaires, as well as information obtained from other sources, such as, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). When a completed past performance questionnaire does not match the Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) rating, CPAR will take precedence. Adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to comment, may be addressed through communications. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating "Neutral," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The Government will use the following degrees of quality when assessing past performance:
