(b)(10) Past Performance: Offerors shall reference up to a total of three (3) recent (within the past five (5) years from the issuance date of the solicitation with a minimum of one (1) year performance per referenced contract) and relevant (similar in scope and magnitude) contracts by completing sections A. and B. of the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment 5, one PPQ for each referenced contract. Offerors shall send the PPQs to the references two weeks prior to the due date of offers for completion. Offerors shall ensure that the references submit the PPQs directly to the following POCs not later than 15 June 2015: Claudia Ledig, email claudia.ledig.de@us.af.mil and Inge Jenkins, email ingeborg.jenkins.1.de@us.af.mil.

Similar in magnitude means the work must have been for performance of occupational health care and consultation for a minimum of one (1) year.

In the evaluation of Present and Past Performance, the Government will consider the information received through the questionnaires, as well as information obtained from other sources. Offerors will have the opportunity to address any negative performance information received that the offeror has not already had the opportunity to address. The Government may also seek past performance information from other sources, such as but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

(End of addendum)

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

This addendum replaces the below referenced paragraphs of the provision as follows:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is determined to be the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) proposal with acceptable past performance. The Government may award without discussions, reserving the right to hold discussions if deemed necessary by the CO. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The Evaluation Factors are:

(1) FACTOR 1 – Price

(2) FACTOR 2 – Technical:

Subfactor 1: Past experience of performing Occupational Health Care (OHC) and Consultation Services

Subfactor 2: Performance Management Plan (PMP)/Quality Control Plan (QCP)

(3) FACTOR 3 – Past Performance.

(1) FACTOR 1 – Price. Offerors will be evaluated on the GRAND TOTAL price resulting from the total amounts of all CLINs 0001 through 0034 in the base period and all corresponding CLINs for the option periods. Only EURO currency offers will be accepted. Unbalanced prices may serve as basis for rejection of the proposal. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness of the total evaluated price. Prices will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness of total evaluated price IAW FAR 13.106-3(a).

(i) 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.

(2) FACTOR 2 – Technical. Offerors will be evaluated on written documentation provided in accordance with paragraph (b)(4) of the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial, and listed as subfactors 1 and 2 above. Technical acceptability is based on successfully meeting this requirement. Each outlined subfactor will be rated “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” as follows:

TECHNICAL CRITERIA RATINGS

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.

(A) Subfactor 1: Past Experience. The submitted past experience evidence will be evaluated on the evidence of at least one (1) year of contract performance, (or the past experience of a joint venture partner or key subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, or past relevant experience of key personnel) during the previous five (5) years, where the offeror is/was responsible for performing Occupational Health Care (OHC) and Consultation Service.

(B) Subfactor 2: Performance Management Plan (PMP)/Quality Control Plan (QCP). Attachment 4, Performance Management Plan (PMP)/Quality Control Plan (QCP), will be evaluated on the offeror’s approach to the areas identified in the attachment. All paragraphs A., 1. through 5., and B., 1. through 3, of Attachment 4 shall be properly completed to meet this criteria.

(3) FACTOR 3 – Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated based on subjective assessment of how well the offeror performed recent and relevant work, as outlined in Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1, paragraph (b)(10). Past performance references of a joint venture partner, key subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, or relevant past performance of key personnel will be accepted. The rating is based upon offeror-provided references, received PPQs, or information obtained by the Government from any other sources of past performance information. Offeror must receive “Acceptable” rating to receive an award, as follows:

PAST PERFORMANCE

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 past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “Unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable.”

(b) Award Process: The Government intends to award to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror with an acceptable past performance rating; the Government reserves the right to hold discussions at any point during the evaluation. The evaluation process is as follows:

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

(2) Next, a technical and past performance evaluation will be performed beginning with the lowest priced offerors. Evaluations will stop when the first two technically acceptable proposals receive an acceptable past performance rating for price comparison purposes. Only those offerors determined to be technically acceptable with an acceptable past performance rating, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award.

(c) 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 shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

For the evaluation of the option price pursuant to FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, 50 % of the prices proposed for the last option period will be included in the Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

(d) 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, shall 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.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4, CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (MAY 2015) Paragraph (k) Taxes is deleted.

(3) A series of orders from the same ordering office within 5 business days that together call for quantities exceeding the limitation in subparagraph (b)(1) or (2) of this section.

(c) If this is a requirements contract (i.e., includes the Requirements clause at subsection 52.216-21 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)), the Government is not required to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor if that requirement exceeds the maximum-order limitations in paragraph (b) of this section.

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the Contractor shall honor any order exceeding the maximum order limitations in paragraph (b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office within 3 days after issuance, with written notice stating the Contractor’s intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and the reasons. Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the supplies or services from another source.

(End of Clause)

52.216-21 Requirements (Oct 1995)

(a) This is a requirements contract for the supplies or services specified, and effective for the period stated, in the Schedule. The quantities of supplies or services specified in the Schedule are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract. Except as this contract may otherwise provide, if the Government’s requirements do not result in orders in the quantities described as “estimated’’ or “maximum” in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment.

(b) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. Subject to any limitations in the Order Limitations clause or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all supplies or services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations.

(d) The Government is not required to purchase from the Contractor requirements in excess of any limit on total orders under this contract.

(e) If the Government urgently requires delivery of any quantity of an item before the earliest date that delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the Contractor will not accept an order providing for the accelerated delivery, the Government may acquire the urgently required goods or services from another source.

(f) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor’s and Government’s rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract’s effective period; provided, that the Contractor shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after 30 September 2020.

Alternate I (Apr 1984). If the requirements contract is for nonpersonal services and related supplies and covers estimated requirements that exceed a specific Government activity’s internal capability to produce or perform, substitute the following paragraph (c) for paragraph (c) of the basic clause:

(c) The estimated quantities are not the total requirements of the Government activity specified in the Schedule, but are estimates of requirements in excess of the quantities that the activity may itself furnish within its own capabilities. Except as this contract otherwise provides, the Government shall order from the Contractor all of that activity’s requirements for supplies and services specified in the Schedule that exceed the quantities that the activity may furnish within its own capabilities.

(End of Clause)

52.217-8 OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES (NOV 1999)(Deviation) The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract.

The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 15 days before contract expiration.

(End of clause)

NOTE: In the event exercising this option becomes necessary, the prices as evaluated will be used for the 6-month extension. Should the extension occur at any performance period other than the last option period or be less than 6 months, the prices of the preceding performance period will be used to determine the total amount of the extension by multiplying the monthly amount with the number of months the contract is being extended (1 month – 6 months).

52.217-9 OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (MAR 2000)

(a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days before contract expiration; provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

(b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause.

(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 60 months exclusive of the time extension authorized in FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services.

(End of clause)

52.233-2 SERVICE OF PROTEST (SEP 2006)

(a) Protests, as defined in section 33.101 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, that are filed directly with an agency, and copies of any protests that are filed with the Government Accountability Office (GAO), shall be served on the Contracting Officer (addressed as follows) by obtaining written and dated acknowledgment of receipt from 700th Contracting Squadron/LGCA, Kapaun Air Station, Bldg 2767, 67661 Kaiserslautern.

Final payment under this contract shall be withheld until evidence of the extended reporting endorsement is provided to the Contracting Officer.

(e) The policies evidencing required insurance shall also contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or material change adversely affecting the Government’s interest shall not be effective until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written notice to the Contracting Officer. If, during the performance period of the contract the Contractor changes insurance providers, the Contractor must provide evidence that the Government will be indemnified to the limits specified in paragraph (a) of this clause, for the entire period of the contract, either under the new policy, or a combination of old and new policies.

(f) The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (f), in all subcontracts under this contract for health care services and shall require such subcontractors to provide evidence of and maintain insurance in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause.
