In accordance with FAR Part 12 and 13, the Government is conducting a best value award decision based on price and past performance of quotes adhering to solicitation requirements.

The Government may conduct interchanges with one, some, none or all offerors at its discretion if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

The evaluation process shall consist of the following:

(a) Adherence to Submission Requirements. First, the government will evaluate all quotes to determine if all submission requirements of this solicitation were met. Quoters are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and representations and certifications, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a quoter being ineligible for award.

Quoters must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete rationale. Quotes must be complete, stand-alone, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation; alternate quotes will not be accepted. It is the quoter's responsibility to ensure their quote meets all the submission requirements of this solicitation. Quotes that adhere to submission requirements of this solicitation will proceed to Price Evaluation.

(b) Price Evaluation. Next, the government will rank offers by Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

All pricing shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. If there is a conflict between the quoted unit prices and extended amounts, the unit price shall be used to determine the total evaluated price. Any discounts identified in the quote will be included in the evaluation of the total evaluated price. The lowest price quote may not necessarily be selected for award.

The evaluation will then proceed to the Past Performance Evaluation.

(c) Past Performance Evaluation. Third, beginning with the quote with the lowest TEP the Government will evaluate the quality and extent of the quoter’s performance deemed recent and relevant to the requirements of this Request for Quote (RFQ). Supplier Risk Management Scores will be considered IAW DFARS 213.106-2(b)(i). The quote receiving the highest past performance evaluation rating may not necessarily be selected for contract award. If the lowest TEP quote receives a “Substantial Confidence” Performance Confidence Assessment Rating, it represents the best value to the Government. Evaluations will then stop, and an award will be made to that quoter, subject to a Contractor Responsibility determination. If the lowest TEP quote is not assigned a “Substantial Confidence” Performance Confidence Assessment Rating, the evaluation will continue until a quoter receives a "Substantial Confidence" Performance Confidence Assessment Rating or all quoters are evaluated. At that point the Government will make an integrated best value award decision based on price and past performance on all evaluated quotes.

(i) The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the degree of confidence the Government has in the quoter’s ability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each quoter’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products that meet the contract’s requirements. The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the contractor’s performance shall be considered. The government will use the supplier risk score within the Supplier Performance Risk Management System (SPRS) as a past performance metric for evaluation. These are combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each quoter. The government may also use sources other than those provided in response to this solicitation, such as information obtained from the Federal Awardee Performance & Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the Duns and Bradstreet Risk Analytics, and the System of Award Management (SAM). There are four (4) aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, quality, and SPRS Supplier Risk Scores.

(1) Recency is defined as past performance on contracts within the last three

(3) years from the closing date of this solicitation. Past performance not considered recent will not be evaluated.

(2) Relevancy will be rated as either Relevant, Somewhat Relevant, or Not Relevant. Scope, magnitude, and complexity is as described in the specifications for a customer base similar to the Air Force Academy’s population (1,000 cadets per year).

Past Performance Relevancy Rating Method Adjectival Rating Description

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(3) Quality is defined as the excellence of the product, quality control and inspection procedures, delivery timeliness, and business relations with the customer. Quality ratings will be assigned by the Government based on information provided by the quoter or gathered by the Government.

Quality will be rated as follows: Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, or Not Applicable.

(4) SPRS will be evaluated IAW DFARS 252.204-7024 Notice on the Use of the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) (Mar 2023).

(ii) Recency, relevancy, and quality ratings for the evaluated past performance citations along with SPRS supplier risk scores will be integrated to determine an overall confidence assessment rating. This process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Neutral Confidence. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating “Neutral Confidence”, meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably (neutral).

Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Method Adjectival Rating Description

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offer’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available, or the vendor’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

(iii) Quoters are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the quote preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance.

(d) Best Value Decision.

(i) The Government will make a best value award decision.

(1) If the lowest TEP quote receives a “Substantial Confidence”

Performance Confidence Assessment Rating, it represents the best value to the Government. Evaluations will then stop, and an award will be made to that quoter, if the quoter is determined to be responsible having a quote that is fair, reasonable, and affordable, and funds are available.

(2) If the lowest TEP quote is not assigned a “Substantial Confidence” Performance Confidence Assessment Rating, the evaluation will continue until a quoter receives a "Substantial Confidence" Performance Confidence Assessment Rating or all quoters are evaluated. At that point the Government will make an integrated best value award decision based on price and past performance of all evaluated quotes.

(ii) The Contracting Officer will conduct price reasonableness evaluation after making a best value decision to ensure the final, agreed-to price is fair and reasonable. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. Price reasonableness is normally established through adequate price competition but may also be determined through price analysis techniques. The Contracting Officer may require a quoter to provide other than certified cost or pricing data to support a determination of a fair and reasonable price.
