Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) The Government will award one 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. This source selection is conducted in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12 and 15.3, as supplemented by the Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) 215.3, the Air Force FAR Supplement (AFFARS) 5315.3 and the Air Force Mandatory Procedure (MP) 5315.3. These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FAR Site, http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The Government may award without discussions, reserving the right to hold discussions if deemed necessary by the CO.

The Evaluation Factors are:

i. FACTOR 1 – Price

ii. FACTOR 2 – Technical

· SUBFACTOR 1 – Quality Control Plan

· SUBFACTOR 2 – Business Approach/Past Experience

· SUBFACTOR 3 - Certificates

iii. FACTOR 3 – Past Performance

(1) FACTOR 1 – Price. All offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the SF 1449 Continuation Sheet by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to confirm the extended amount and the total amount. Unrealistically high, low or unbalanced prices may serve as a basis for rejection of the proposal. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and completeness of the total evaluated price.

(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 bidding 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.

(ii) For the purpose of offer evaluation, the Government will proceed on the assumption that the

Offeror intends his/her offer to be evaluated on the basis of the unit price. The totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies listed above will be so reflected on the abstract of offers. These correction procedures shall not be used to resolve any ambiguity concerning which offer is low.

(2) FACTOR 2 – Technical. The technical criteria below will be used to evaluate proposals for accuracy and completeness. The ratings applied to Technical Capability will be Acceptable or Unacceptable. Offerors must have an Acceptable rating on SUBFACTOR1 – Quality Control Plan, SUBFACTOR 2 – Business Approach/Past Experience And SUBFACTOR 3 – Certificates in order to receive an overall acceptable rating for FACTOR 2.

SUBFACTOR 1 – Quality Control Plan : Criteria is met with the submission of a detailed Quality Control Plan demonstrating successful performance of professional guard services are performed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and also demonstrate all aspects of quality control to include responsibility for surveillance and description of the records to be kept as outlined in the Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1, paragraph 4.2

SUBFACTOR 2 – Business Approach/Past Experience: Criteria is met by demonstrating capabilities and experience on previous and/or current Security Guard Services demonstrating the offeror has in the past successfully performed requirements of similar magnitude (total contract value of at least $600K)within the last three years covering a period of at least one year. The description shall contain as a minimum:

relevant contracts, scope summary, and experience with Security Guard Services in an overseas environment including multiple countries/sites and timeframes as outlined in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, paragraph 4.2

SUBFACTOR 3 – Certificates: Criteria is met by submitting all the certificates requested as outlined in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, paragraph 4.3.

(3) FACTOR 3 - Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated based on the subjective assessment of how well the offeror performed on past recent and relevant work, as outlined in Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1, paragraph 5.0. Offeror must receive an Acceptable rating to receive an award. This rating is based upon offeror-provided information, or information obtained from any other source of past performance information, indicating performance of Security Guard Services as follows:

Note: In 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 shall be determined to have unkown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “Unkown” shall be considered “Acceptable.”

(i) The Past Performance information may be obtained from the following sources:

(A) Reference List (Please see details in 52.212-1, Paragraph 5.6.).

(B) Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ), Attachment 4.

(C) Past performance information available from other sources such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS).

(4) 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:

(i) Price Evaluation. The Government will first evaluate all proposals for price, ranking the offerors from lowest to highest total evaluated price. A price fair and reasonable determination will be made on the apparent successful offer prior to award.

(ii) Technical Acceptability. The apparent lowest price proposal will then be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Proposals must be rated “Acceptable” for all technical subfactors in order to be determined technically “Acceptable”.

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

(iii) Past Performance. The lowest priced, technically “Acceptable” offeror’s past performance will be evaluated. The Government reserves the right that:

a. If the 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, pending and affirmative price fair and reasonable determination.

b. 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.

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

NOTE: Pricing for the option periods will be evaluated for use under Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses 52.217-8 and 52.217-9

(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, 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.
