Excerpts from Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999)

1. EVALUATION PROCEDURES:

1.1.BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This competitive best value source selection will be conducted using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Contracting by

Negotiation, Department of Defense (DoD) Source Selection Procedures effective 1 July 2011 and Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) Mandatory Procedures

(MP) 5315.3 for Source Selection as revised March 2013. Award will be made to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 9, has the lowest price, is deemed technically acceptable, has an acceptable past performance record, and conforms to all the solicitation requirements.

1.2. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and other information required by FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors –

Commercial Items, and the addendum to this clause provided in the solicitation. The

Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the

Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the

Contracting Officer, and is in the best interest of the Government.

2. NUMBER OF CONTRACT AWARDS:

2.1. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposals, prices submitted, and availability of funds.

2.2. The Government intends to make one (1) award as a result of this solicitation. Award will be made to the offeror technically and Past Performance acceptable with the lowest evaluated prices, that is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR part 9 and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements.

3. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY:

3.1.The Government will evaluate a minimum of three (3) proposals. Offers will be ranked according to total price over the five (5) year six (6) month period. The lowest priced three (3) proposals will then be evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance. If any one of the three lowest priced proposals is deemed technically unacceptable or unacceptable for past performance reasons, it will be replaced by the next lowest. This process will continue until there are three technically acceptable and past performance acceptable proposals, or until all proposals have been evaluated. Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements and is the lowest priced technically acceptable with acceptable past performance.

3.2.If at any time during the evaluation process the contracting officer deems discussions to be in the best interest of the Government, a competitive range will be established IAW FAR 15.306.

It is possible that the contracting officer may determine that the number of proposals that might otherwise be included in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted. In such a case, the contracting officer may decide to limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. If this occurs, discussions will be held only with those offerors within the competitive range. Those outside of the range will be eliminated from consideration for award.

3.3.Offerors shall submit a Firm Fixed Price for each individual vehicle type, to include not only the base year but also separate prices for all option years. The prices given for each vehicle must be entirely inclusive of all costs for leasing that type of vehicle in one-month increments, to include the associated maintenance costs. The offeror shall utilize the Excel spreadsheet entitled “Vehicle Price Per Month”, included as an attachment to the solicitation, when proposing the price for each individual vehicle type. A separate tab has been included in the

Excel sheet for the base year and each option year. When issuing Task Orders, which will utilize the individual vehicle prices, the Government has the right to dictate the number of vehicles required.

The offer must also submit an overall Firm Fixed Price based on the quantity of vehicles specified in Attachment 1 of the PWS. The quantity specified in the PWS is an estimate. The actual number of required vehicles shall be specified in the subsequent Task Orders. The offeror’s proposed price, based on the quantity of vehicles specified in the PWS, must include the total price of each individual year, as well as the total price for the entire five-year, six month period. Failure to address either one of the pricing requirements specified above is unacceptable and will render the offeror ineligible for award.

In accordance with Section B of the solicitation, offerors must submit an estimated price for

Incidental Charges for the base year and each option year. The CLIN price will be an estimate based on the specified quantities provided in the solicitation. The prices indicated in the

Incidental Charges CLINs are strictly for informational purposes and will not be evaluated nor will be a factor in determining the lowest-price technically acceptable proposal.

4. AWARD DECISION - This competitive best value source selection will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, DoD Source Selection Procedures effective 1 Jul 2011 and Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation (AFFARS) Mandatory

Procedures (MP) 5315.3 for Source Selection as revised 27 March 2013 using the Lowest Price

Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. The award decision will be made as follows:

4.1.Price. The offeror’s total Firm-Fixed Price resulting from the total price for each vehicle type for the base year and each option period, based on the estimated quantities specified in

Attachment 1 of the PWS. The quantities specified in the PWS document are estimates. The actual number of required vehicles will be indicated in the subsequent Task Orders. The offeror’s proposed price, based on the quantity of vehicles specified in the PWS, must include the total price of each individual year, as well as the total price for the entire five-year, six-month period. The price must be entirely inclusive of all costs for leasing, to include the associated maintenance costs. The offeror with the lowest fair and reasonable price for all five years and six months combined, which is determined to be technically and past performance acceptable, will receive the award. Any prices the offeror provides for the Incidental Charges and Defense Base Act CLINs are for informational purposes and will not be evaluated nor will be a factor in determining the lowest price technically acceptable proposal.

4.2.Technical Acceptability. The technical evaluation provides an assessment of the offeror’s capability to satisfy the Government’s requirements. The Government will evaluate technical capability proposals in accordance with paragraph 3.1. Each Technical Capability factor will receive a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. If any subfactor is rated “unacceptable,” the entire proposal will be rendered technically unacceptable. Only proposals deemed technically acceptable (either initially or as the result of discussions) will be considered for the award. The ratings are defined in the following paragraphs.

4.2.1. Acceptable: Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

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

4.3. Past Performance Evaluation. Past Performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR

15.305. The offeror shall submit recent and relevant past performance information on projects of similar amount and scope. The contractor shall provide this information in a format that is easy to analyze. The government reserves the right to verify past performance information.

Recent performance includes contract performance within three (3) years from the issuance of this solicitation. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving leased vehicle fleet support and management services as described in the PWS of the same or similar type that individually total at least AED 22,035,000. The evaluation of past performance will result in an overall assessment of acceptable or unacceptable.

4.3.1. Acceptable: Based on the offeror’s 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.

4.3.2. Unacceptable: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

4.4. Award Decision. An award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror with acceptable past performance, subject to a positive responsibility determination in accordance with FAR Part 9 and conformance of the offerors’ proposal to the terms and conditions of the solicitation.

5. RESPONSIBILITY: The Government will determine responsibility by analyzing whether the apparent successful offeror complies with the requirements of FAR 9.1.

6.2.4. An offeror will be assigned an overall technical capability rating of Acceptable or

Unacceptable based upon the offeror’s ability to clearly demonstrate its technical capability to meet each subfactor. An offeror will receive an overall technical acceptability rating of Acceptable only if it receives an Acceptable rating for each of the three subfactors: Maintenance and Recovery Response Plan, Quality Control, and

Technical Vehicle Specifications. If an offeror receives an Unacceptable rating on any of the three subfactors, the overall Technical Factor will be rated as Unacceptable.

6.3. FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

6.3.1. The contractor will provide past-performance information as required by paragraph 5.3.

6.3.2. Note that the past performance evaluation performed in support of this requirement will not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror performed previous contracts, and the contractor’s overall experience with contracts of this nature and magnitude.

6.3.3. The evaluation of past performance information will result in an overall assessment of

Acceptable or Unacceptable as follows:

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the requirement, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

(See note below.)

Unacceptable

Based on the offeror’s 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 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.”
