CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUN 2008)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF

1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments; In the event Solicitation Amendments are issued, in order to be considered for award, each Solicitation Amendment must be acknowledged.

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. 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.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. 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) Reserved

(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 5:00 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. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's 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 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.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

―DUNS‖ or ―DUNS +4‖ followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address.

Subpart 32.11) for the same concern. If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and

Bradstreet directly to obtain one. An offeror within the United States may contact Dun and Bradstreet by calling 1-

The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(k) Central Contractor Registration. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting

Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. Offerors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the Internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-

(5) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

Addendum to 52.212-1 – INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS

1. This Addendum prescribes the format for proposals and describes the approach for the development and presentation of proposal data. These instructions are designed to ensure the submission of information essential to the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of proposals. The instructions permit the inclusion of any additional data or information an offeror deems pertinent within the stated page limitations. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial proposals received, without discussion of such proposals. The Offeror shall make a clear statement in the proposal documentation that the proposal is valid for 120 days.

2. If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unclear or unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale.

All questions in reference to this solicitation shall be submitted to Jessica Morgan, Contract Specialist, e-mail address jessica.morgan@wpafb.af.mil .

3. To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to submit all documentation/information detailed herein, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications including 52.212-3 and 252.225-7000, and technical requirements. Failure to submit all required documentation/information may result in a proposal being ineligible for award. In submitting a proposal, offerors are agreeing to the terms and conditions as written in the entire solicitation. The reference in FAR

5.212-1(e) encouraging submission of alternate proposals is hereby deleted for this solicitation and that subparagraph is marked ―reserved‖. The proposal shall consist of three (3) separate parts; Part I – Mission Capability Proposal, Part II – Past Performance Proposal, and Part III – Price Proposal. Offerors shall submit an original complete proposal and two exact copies as described below. If there are discrepancies between the original and duplicate copies, the original proposal will take precedence and will be the one evaluated. All pages in excess of the stated limitations will be removed and disregarded during the evaluation. If an Offeror’s proposal is determined unacceptable upon completion of proposal evaluations, they will be notified promptly of the basis for the determination.

Main Cover Letter: (Optional) Limit One Page. If a cover letter is provided for the offeror's entire proposal, it should include the offeror’s CAGE Code for their Central Contractor Registration (CCR).

Part I – Mission Capability Proposal: Limit 50 pages for the original proposal. See Proposal Content, below.

Part II – Past Performance Proposal: Limit 15 pages for the original proposal. See Proposal Content, below.

Part III – Price Proposal: No page limitation. See Proposal Content, below.

mailto:jessica.morgan@wpafb.af.mil

4. Page Format: Each page of the proposal, other than foldouts, will be typed on 8-1/2‖ by 11‖ paper and will use

Times New Roman, 10 pitch. Margins will be no smaller than 1‖. Each page will be numbered. If printing appears on both sides of a sheet of paper, it is considered to be two (2) pages.

Fax: 937-656-1412

Contract Specialist’s e-mail address: jessica.morgan@wpafb.af.mil

6. Proposals are due at 1700 hours Eastern Daylight Savings Time on 24 Mar 10. Proposals shall be delivered to the attention of Jessica Morgan, 88 CONS/PKAA, 1940 Allbrook Dr, Ste 3, Building 1, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH.

45433-5309. Proposals may be mailed, overnight mailed or hand-carried to the above address so they are received by the contracting office by the due date and time.

7. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial proposals, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

8. Award will be made using Performance Price Tradeoff procedures. Award will be made to the Offeror proposing the combination most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub factors described below. All evaluation factors other than Cost/Price when combined are significantly more important than the Cost/Price Factor.

Factor 1: Mission Capability

Sub factor A: Delivery & Installation of Product (Pass/Fail)

Sub factor B: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail)

Factor 2: Past Performance

Factor 3: Cost/Price

9. Proposal Content:

a. VOLUME I – MISSION CAPABILITY PROPOSAL

The Mission Capability Volume (Volume I) shall not make reference to cost or price information. The

Mission Capability Volume will describe in significant detail, the Offeror’s proposed technical solution and design, demonstrating the capability of the Offeror’s organization to provide the proposed solution in accordance with the

―Ware Washer Specification‖ (Attachment I). It should be specific and complete in every detail. A singular, positive statement to the fact that the Offeror will accomplish all requirements per the specifications alone is not considered acceptable. The proposal shall outline the actual method proposed as specifically as possible.

(a) Sub factor A: Delivery and Installation of Product (Pass/Fail)

Delivery and installation of product is a minimum performance threshold. The Offeror’s proposal shall present their specific delivery schedule to include methodology of installation and completion of all work.

(b) Sub factor B: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail)

Technical specifications are minimum performance thresholds. The Offeror’s Technical Capability proposal shall, as a minimum, contain the information specified below in accordance with the following general outline:

Proposed methodology to comply with the specifications (Attachment I), specific/peculiar design requirements and building constraints. State clearly how you intend to interpret, understand, and comply with the detail contained in the specifications (Attachment I)

Design methodology and timeline (schedule) should be fully articulated. Address your plan for ensuring final design is adequate and complete, and a timeline for gaining necessary final end user approval. Also include in your proposed schedule/plan the relevant dates and endurances (days) of the entire process, including but not limited to design, final approval, factory order, manufacturing, transportation, delivery, installation, and checkout.

It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of the mission capability proposal; therefore, the technical evaluation panel for the Government has been instructed to evaluate on the basis of the information provided. The

Government shall not assume an offeror possesses any capability unless specified in its proposal. Understanding of the requirements of the specifications must be demonstrated by more than a reiteration of the attachment. Repeating the specifications without sufficient elaboration will not be acceptable. Statements such as ―the offeror understands,‖

―can or will comply with all the requirements of the specifications,‖ ―standard procedures will be employed,‖ etc., are insufficient.

b. VOLUME II – PAST PERFORMANCE PROPOSAL

(1) The Past Performance Volume (Volume II) shall not make reference to cost or price information. It will be evaluated strictly on technical merit.

(2) Offerors shall submit information on contracts they consider relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform all requirements of the solicitation. This information shall include sales data of prior efforts of similar items. This information may include data on efforts performed by other divisions, corporate management, and critical subcontractors or teaming contractors, if such resources will significantly influence the performance. If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with the same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past and present relevant contracts and provide questionnaires to their references. Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide with the proposal a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor.

(3) Offerors with vast numbers of relevant contracts to select from shall submit no more than six (6) relevant contracts/jobs performed presently or within the past five (5) years. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of each contract are deemed relevant to the proposed effort. Categorize the relevance determination into the specific evaluation areas used to evaluate this proposal. Offerors are permitted, but not required, to submit information on significant achievements or explain past problems (and how they were resolved) considered relevant to the solicitation requirements.

(4). In addition to the data provided by each Offeror in this part of the proposal, the Government may use data obtained from other sources (Past Performance Information Retrieval System, other Government sources, commercial sources, etc.) in the development of the Integrated Past Performance Assessment rating.

(5) The Offeror’s proposal shall be evaluated to determine the level of customer satisfaction with the Offeror on present and past projects similar in size, scope and complexity.

(a) Describe the extent of your experience in carrying out similar work described in the solicitation

(b) Assess whether your firm performed satisfactorily on similar projects regarding schedules, turnover rates, meeting costs and success in performing the work.

(6) For all current or past contracts deemed relevant, provide all the information requested in the following paragraphs:

(a) Administrative Data

1. Company/Division Name

2. Program Title

3. Contracting Agency

4. Contract Number

5. Type of Contract (i.e. Fixed Price)

6. Dates Performed

7. Contract Value (including any option years)

8. Name, Address & Telephone/Fax Number of Company Official, Government Program

Director/ Manager, Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) or Procurement Contracting Officer.

(b) Relevancy Data: Indicate the percentage of service actually performed by the Offeror (prime), subcontractor (if applicable), and teaming contractors (if applicable). This information indicates the volume of required service actually performed by the Offeror and company(ies) other than the Offeror on past or current contracts in relation to Relevancy. When applicable, provide the name of the company for each subcontractor or teaming contractor. The Offeror may provide clarifying comments in relation to Relevancy.

(7) If no past performance information is submitted as a part of the Offeror’s proposal, the entire proposal may be considered non-responsive and will not be considered for award. For those Offeror’s who do not have any relevant past performance information to submit, a statement to that effect will satisfy the requirement for a past performance volume.

c. VOLUME III – PRICE PROPOSAL

(1) General – All information relating to pricing data shall be included in this volume. Under no circumstances shall pricing data be included elsewhere in the proposal. Should such pricing data be included in the mission capability and/or past performance proposals, the result will be removal of such pricing data and all other information included on the same page with such data. This could result in the exclusion from evaluation of critical mission capability/technical and/or past performance information. The price proposal shall contain the following in the order shown:

(a) Cover letter, only if offeror desires to provide a cover letter for the Pricing Proposal.

(b) Pricing Schedule within the solicitation. Complete all blanks for unit and total prices. All dollar amounts shall be carried out two (2) decimal places. Please submit separate line item pricing for the ware washer, installation of new equipment and removal of existing equipment.

(c) Offerors must complete all appropriate blocks on the cover page of the solicitation to include blocks

17a, 29, 30a, 30b, and 30c.

(d) Completed provisions/clauses for Offeror’s Representations and Certifications (see 52.212-3 and

252.225-7000).

(e) Required Statement Regarding Expiration Date of Proposal: A statement shall be provided that the proposal and prices will remain in effect for 120 days after solicitation closing date. Include this statement on the cover letter.

(f) Signed acknowledgement of any Amendment(s) issued against this solicitation (if applicable).

FAR 52.212-1 and Addendum thereto, FAR 52.212-2 and Addendum thereto, FAR 52.212-3, and DFARS 252.225-

7000 will be physically removed from any resultant award, but will be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any award resulting from this solicitation.

(End of provision)

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

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

- Mission Capability

Sub Factor A: Delivery & Installation of Product (Pass/Fail)

Sub Factor B: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail)

- Past Performance

- Price

Mission Capability and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price, however price will be a major determinant in the best value decision.

(b) Options are not required.

(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.

Addendum 1: 52.212-2 – Evaluation – Commercial Items

Evaluation Criteria/Basis For Award

(a) Award will be based on a Price – Past Performance Tradeoff by the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) in accordance with FAR 15.101-1. The Government will select the best overall offer, based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub factors. All proposals timely received will be evaluated in three (3) separate areas:

1 - Mission Capability

Sub Factor A: Delivery & Installation of Product (Pass/Fail)

Sub Factor B: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail)

2 - Past Performance

3 - Price

(b) The Government shall evaluate the Mission Capability Proposals. Each proposal will be assigned a rating of:

Acceptable, Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable, or Unacceptable. All technically acceptable proposals are considered equal and will not be assigned a technical ranking.

(c) All technically acceptable proposals will then receive an Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment

Rating of: Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, Unknown

Confidence, as described in ―Past Performance‖ paragraphs, below.

(d) All technically acceptable proposals will then be ranked by evaluated price. Note: Unrealistically low or high proposals may be eliminated from competition and not considered for award.

(e) If the lowest evaluated price, technically acceptable Offeror has a ―Substantial Confidence‖ Integrated Past

Performance Confidence Assessment Rating, this Offeror’s proposal would represent the best value for this acquisition and award will be made to this Offeror, subject to a positive responsibility determination by the

Government. If the lowest priced, technically acceptable Offeror’s Integrated Past Performance Confidence

Assessment Rating is less than Substantial, the Government will consider a tradeoff between Price and Past

Performance to determine which offer represents the best value to the Government. In these cases, the Source

Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment, using good business judgment in making the best value award decision.

(f) The Government reserves the right to award only one or no contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposal(s) submitted. The Government anticipates making award without conducting discussions. Therefore, each initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the

Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined to be necessary by the Source Selection

Authority.

MISSION CAPABILITY:

(a) A decision on the technical acceptability of each Offeror’s Mission Capability Proposal shall be made. Each proposal will be assigned a rating of:

(1) Acceptable: The Mission Capability Proposal meets all the minimum Technical Specification Delivery and Threshold proposal requirements in the solicitation. Only those proposals determined acceptable, either initially or as a result of exchanges will be considered for award.

(2) Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable: The Mission Capability Proposal does not meet some of the minimum mandatory Technical Proposal requirements in the solicitation; however, there is reason to believe that through exchanges an acceptable Mission Capability Proposal could result. For award without discussions these proposals are considered ―unacceptable‖.

(3) Unacceptable: The Mission Capability Proposal substantially fails to meet the minimum mandatory

Mission Capability Proposal requirements in the solicitation. Mission Capability Proposals with an unacceptable rating will not be considered for award.

Each Offeror must show evidence of a capability to provide the mandatory requirements set forth in the technical specifications (Attachments I & II), clause 52.212-1 (Instructions to Offerors) and elsewhere in this solicitation.

(b) The following specific factors and sub factors will be evaluated in the Mission Capability Proposal. Any factor or sub factor determined unacceptable will render the entire Mission Capability Proposal as unacceptable. Upon final determination that a proposal is unacceptable, the PCO shall promptly notify the Offeror that it will not be considered for award and shall indicate in general terms the basis for the determination.

Mission Capability Evaluation Factor and Sub Factors are as follows:

(a) The mission capability volume will primarily describe the proposed solution and ability to meet the designated delivery & installation schedule. It should be specific and complete in every detail. The proposal shall outline the specific ways that the product meets technical specifications (Attachments I). The Offeror’s mission capability volume shall, as a minimum contain the information specified in accordance with the following general outline:

Sub factor A: Delivery & Installation of Product (Pass/Fail)

The Offeror’s proposal will be assessed as to the Offeror’s understanding and approach to meet the delivery & installation schedule requirements listed within the specifications

(Attachments I & II). The delivery schedule must be met in order to be considered as meeting the minimum performance threshold for this sub factor.

Sub factor B: Technical

The Offeror’s proposal will be assessed as to the Offeror’s understanding of and technical approach to meeting the technical specification requirements included in the solicitation.

Technical specifications are minimum performance thresholds.

(b) This volume will be evaluated to determine if the Offeror has done sufficient analysis of the requirements detailed in the specifications (Attachment I) and proposed a solution which meets or exceeds the requirements.

Where specific capabilities/user features, quality measures, and minimum performance capabilities are specified, Offerers must demonstrate with data and documentation that the proposed products are of ―equal of better‖ quality than delineated by the specifications (Attachment I) – unsubstantiated assertions and assumptions of quality, performance, capabilities, and features are not acceptable.

(c) Each Offeror must show evidence of a product capability to provide/satisfy the mandatory requirements set forth in the referenced specifications (Attachment I). A technical review team composed of key Government personnel will use their technical skills, knowledge, and experience to thoroughly review the adequacy of the proposals. In evaluating the Technical Proposal, the Government will use the following evaluation criteria:

(1) Compliance with the requirements of the specifications (Attachment I) and this entire solicitation,

(2) Understanding of the requirements of the specifications (Attachment I) and this entire solicitation,

(3) Compliance and understanding of the requirements of the specifications (Attachment I) as applied specifically to each factor listed below.

(d) The following specific factors will be evaluated in the Technical Proposal. Any factor determined unacceptable will render the entire Technical Proposal as unacceptable. Upon final determination that a proposal is unacceptable, the PCO will promptly notify Offeror submitting the proposal that it will not be considered for award and shall indicate in general terms the basis for the determination.

(e) Proposals should cover all aspects of the specifications (Attachment I). Offerors should, to the maximum extent possible, clearly communicate and articulate how the proposed product meets these evaluation factors. If it is not mentioned, the presumption by the evaluators will be that it does not meet the criteria and was thus not included in the proposal for that reason.

PAST PERFORMANCE:

(a) Technically acceptable Offerors will receive an Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating based on the Offeror’s past and present performance as it relates to the probability of successfully accomplishing the required effort. The Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating will be determined by combining two individual components: Relevancy and Quality of Past Performance. In evaluating past performance, the

Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP.

(b) Relevant performance includes performance of efforts that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the Offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the Offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown

Confidence. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the Offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

Past Performance Evaluation Factors:

RELEVANCY OF PAST PERFORMANCE: Determined by comparing the offeror’s current and recent past performance (contracts that have not expired more than five (5) years ago) to the scope and complexity of the effort required by the CID and other requirements of this solicitation. The Government is not bound by the Offeror's opinion of relevancy.

QUALITY OF PAST PERFORMANCE: Determined by examining documentation to identify how well the offeror and their products actually performed on current and recent past contracts.

INTEGRATED PAST PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT RATING: Determined by subjectively integrating the overall Relevancy and Quality of Past Performance data. This final assessment rating of the Offeror's past performance will be used by the Government in the best value award decision.

Each Offeror will receive one of the following Integrated Past Performance Confidence Ratings:

Substantial Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has an

Limited Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a low

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

Unknown Confidence: No performance record is identifiable or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. (See FAR

15.305(a)(2)(iii)and (iv)

PRICE:

(a) For evaluation purposes, the following steps will be utilized to arrive at a total evaluated contract price:

(1) The Offeror shall complete the unit prices, line item amounts, and total amounts for CLINs 0001 through 0002 as described in clause 52.212-1 (Instructions to Offerors). The evaluated contract price is considered to be the total price of CLINS.

(2) Price will be a substantial factor in the PCO’s decision. Selection will be based upon the most advantageous offer (price and other factors considered) and, though not necessarily the determinative factor, price will contribute substantially to the award decision. The basis of the proposed price must be compatible with all other elements of the proposal. Mission Capability and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

(3) No advantage will accrue to an Offeror who submits an unrealistically low price proposal. Such a proposal may be viewed as lacking understanding of the Government’s desired objective and may not be considered for award.

(4) Since discussions are not contemplated, the Offeror should submit his best price upon initial submission of the proposal.
