FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE:
The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s ability to meet performance requirements. The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review all recent and relevant past performance information collected and determine reasonable expectation of successful performance.
| (i.) | Past Performance References/Information (PPI) - The evaluation for the past performance section will ensure the offeror provided a record of relevant and recent past performance information/references on three (3) previous/current contracts. Past performance regarding predecessor companies of the offeror and/or subcontractors and key personnel will perform aspects of the requirement if applicable subcontractors will be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. |
| (ii.) | The Other Sources are as follows: |
• Past performance information may be obtained from established systems such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, such as the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Fee Determining Officials.
| (iii.) | Recent past performance information includes contracts performed and/or being performed for any customer within the last five (5) years prior to the issuance date of the solicitation. Recency will be evaluated as “meets” or “does not meet.” |
| (iv.) | Relevancy involves performance aspects similar service scope, magnitude (dollar value) of effort, and complexities to that are required by this solicitation. The government will assess relevancy for each contract and assign a rating as described below. |
The following rating will be used to annotate the technical evaluations and will form the basis of the assignment of ratings for Factor 2 Past Peformance:
PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS
| Rating |
| Definition |
| Acceptable (A) |
| 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. (See note below) |
| Unacceptable (UA) |
| Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a 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 is 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 (or “neutral”) past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable”.
Factor 2 – Past Performance
This factor is met when the Offeror provides three (3) references of recent (in the previous five (5) years) performance consisting of relevant work performed that demonstrates satisfactory performance according to industry and military standards for quality. Relevant work is defined as work related to the:
· Manufacturing and populating printed circuit cards
· Manufacturing and populating flexible circuit cards
· Manufacturing aluminum enclosures IAW MIL-STDs
· Integration of components into a top-level assembly IAW AS9100 standards
· Authoring training materials related to the repair of electronic devices
· Authoring technical manuals IAW MIL-STDs
· Managing Government Furnished Property/Information
FACTOR 3: PRICE
Price proposals shall support the proposed technical approach and will be evaluated based on the (1) Total Evaluated Price (TEP), for (2) completeness, (3) reasonableness, and (4) unbalanced pricing. Offerors whose price is determined to be incomplete, unreasonable or unbalanced will not be considered for award.
(1) Total Evaluated Price. The TEP for award purposes will be the sum of CLINs
(2) Completeness. The proposal will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The Offeror’s proposed price and other information will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the technical volume and between the initial proposal and any revisions thereto. The review will determine the adequacy of the Offeror’s proposal in addressing and fulfilling the RFP requirements.
(3) Reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 15.404-1(b)(2).
(4) Unbalanced Pricing. Offerors are cautioned against submitting a materially unbalanced offer. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable Total Evaluated Price (TEP), the price of one or more items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. An offer may be rejected if the Government determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government (FAR 15.404-1(g)).
(5) Ombudsman. IAW DAFFARS 5352.201-9101, Ombudsman (JUN 2023), an Ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from Offerors, potential Offerors, and others for this acquisition If resolution cannot be made by the CO, concerned parties may contact the following: Deputy Director, Acquisition Excellence & Program Execution Directorate at AFLCMC/AQ-AZ Workflow (email: ASCA@us.af.mil) or at 937-255-5512/DSN 785-5512, Wright- Patterson AFB, OH.
