SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following three (3) factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR 1 - Price

Offerors will be evaluated on the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) resulting from the total amounts of CLIN 0001 through 4001 plus 50% of the price(s) proposed for the last option period in accordance with FAR Clause 52.217-8 Extension of Services.

Unbalanced prices may serve as a basis for rejection of the proposal. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness of the total evaluated price.

Arithmetic Discrepancies: For the purpose of initial evaluation of offers, the following will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the pricing schedule as submitted by the offeror.

(A) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(B) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price will govern;

(C) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;

(D) Apparent errors in extended prices per CLIN will be corrected.

Reasonableness: Price analysis will be used to determine reasonableness of prices. The techniques and procedures described under FAR 13.106-2, as determined appropriate, will be the primary means of assessing proposals in determining the reasonableness.

FACTOR 2 - TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

(1) Sub-Factor 1

(Removed)

(2) Sub-Factor 2

(3) Sub-Factor 3

(4) Sub-Factor 4

QUALITY CONTROL. Provide a detailed Quality Control Program, including Checklists and other pertinent tools to measure the quality of Patient Liaison/ Medical Translation Services rendered. Include the type/s of preventive measure/s utilized to maintain the continuous services through the listed Host Nation Hospitals and the MTF.

The offeror provides a Quality Control Plan, which shall address the following issues and shall demonstrate the contractor's ability:

a. A thorough and clear description in detail of the methods, processes, and procedures for ensuring performance meets the standards of the PWS;

FA560619QA0250002

b. A description of the offeror's inspection system to effectively meet the quality thresholds defined specifically in the Service

Summary (SS) of the PWS. This should include processes for interfacing with the assigned Contracting

Officer's Representatives (CORs);

c. A description of the methods, checklists, and processes to be used to identify and rectify any deficiencies in the quality of service provided;

d. An explanation of your process to ensure all facilities still receive service to the standards of the PWS during employee absences (temporary or permanent);

e. A sample work schedule for the different Host Nation Facilities and MTF;

f. A list of the company's key personnel

****** Please submit an additional sanitized copy of your technical proposal without any company information ******

Offerors will be evaluated on written documentation provided in accordance with FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial, and listed as subfactors above.

Technical acceptability is based on successfully meeting this requirement. The focus of the technical rating is to identify if the contractor has an adequate approach and understanding of the requirement. Each outlined subfactor will be rated "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" as follows:

TECHNICAL CRITERIA RATINGS

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Quotation clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

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

Offerors must receive "Acceptable" rating for each subfactor to receive an overall "Acceptable" rating in the technical evaluation. In the event one or more subfactors receive an "Unacceptable" rating, the proposal will receive an overall

"Unacceptable" rating in the technical evaluation. In order to receive an "Acceptable" rating, the offeror must provide proof that all requirements will be met.

FACTOR 3 - Past Performance

Past Performance will be evaluated on how well the offeror performed on recent and relevant work.

Past performance references of a joint venture partner, key subcontractor, or instances where the offeror performed as a key personnel or a key subcontractor will be accepted. The rating is based upon offeror-provided references, or information obtained by the

Government from any other sources of past performance information within the past five (5) years. A past performance questionnaire will be utilized to determine the offeror's rating on past projects with Government or other sources. The information, as well as any other information known by or made available to the Contracting Officer, will be used by the

Government in the following manner to determine if the offeror has a satisfactory past performance record. Offeror must receive an "Acceptable" rating to receive an award, as follows:

PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Past Performance of contractor meets Government satisfactory performance rating for the type of work required by this solicitation.

Unacceptable Past Performance of contractor does not meet Government satisfactory performance rating for the type of work required by this solicitation.

Note: Contractors without a record of relevant past performance information will not be penalized in any manner.

Relevant past performance is defined as work where the same or similar projects as defined in the Performance Work

Statement (PWS) have been completed. Contracts listed may include those entered into with the Federal Government or private/commercial entities, whereby Federal Government contracts take precedence. 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. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance.

In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "Unknown" shall be considered "Acceptable."

The Offeror shall provide no more than 3 relevant projects or contracts that include the following information:

Government Agency/Company who awarded the contract

Contract Number

Description of Supplies/Services

Contract Value (base and all options)

Period of Performance (including all options)

Place of Performance

Contract Type

Current POC with current email address and phone number

Upon completion of the past performance questionnaire please e-mail the signed document to anja.weber-sabo.1.de@us.af.mil and claudia.mans.1.de@us.af.mil prior to 31 October 2019, 10:00 a.m. Central European Time.

2. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY

Prior to award, a responsibility determination will be made as described in FAR Part 9.

3. AWARD PROCESS

The Government intends to award to the lowest priced offeror with an acceptable technical and past performance rating; the

Government may award without discussions, reserving the right to hold discussions if deemed necessary by the CO.

The evaluation process is as follows:

(1) Price: The Government will first evaluate all proposals for price, ranking the offerors from lowest to highest total evaluated price. Price must be fair and reasonable to proceed with the technical evaluation.

(2) Technical: The lowest priced proposal will then be evaluated for technical acceptability. Proposals must be rated

"Acceptable". If the lowest priced offeror's technical proposal is "Unacceptable", the next low offeror's technical proposal will be evaluated, continuing until an offeror with an "Acceptable" technical rating is identified.

(3) Past Performance: The lowest priced, technically "Acceptable" offeror's past performance will be evaluated. The

Government reserves the right:

a. that, if the initial lowest priced, technically "Acceptable" offeror's past performance is determined to be "Acceptable", the evaluation process will stop and the award will be made to that offeror.

b. that, if the lowest priced, technically "Acceptable" offeror's past performance is determined to be "Unacceptable", the

Government will evaluate past performance of the next lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror.

This process will continue, as needed, until an offeror is rated "Acceptable" for past performance.

c. to perform technical and past performance evaluation simultaneously.
