An aspect of an Offeror’s proposal with appreciable merit or will exceed specified performance or capability requirements to the considerable advantage of the

Government during contract performance.

Strength An aspect of an offeror's proposal with merit or will exceed specified performance or capability requirements to the advantage of the Government during contract performance.

Weakness A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Significant

Weakness

A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Deficiency

A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

(iii) Factor 2: Past Performance. The Government will evaluate Past Performance based on the submission required in the provision 52.212-1 identified above. In addition to the offeror’s past performance submission the government may use the data available in the Contractor Performance Assessment

Reporting System (CPARS) during this evaluation. In evaluating Past Performance, the Government will consider the recency and relevancy of the past performance to the requirements contained in the SOW, the risk to successful performance, and the Government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to successfully perform the solicited requirements. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

a. When making relevancy determinations, the below definitions will be utilized:

Rating Definition

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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.

b. To be considered Recent, past performance must have been performed whole or in part during the past 3 years of the closing date of this RFP.

c. Past Performance Ratings – The following ratings will be applied to Factor 2 during evaluations.

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 offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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

The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(iv) Factor 3: Price. The evaluated price will be determined using the total price for base and all option years. The offeror’s proposed price will be evaluated per FAR 13.106-3(a). Offerors responding to this solicitation are advised that, prior to award, the Government may request offerors to submit information/data to support price reasonableness such as copies of paid invoices for the same or similar items, sales history for the same or similar items, price list with effective date and/or copies of catalog pages along with any applicable discounts. Failure to submit the requested information may result in disqualification of the submitted proposal.

a. Included in the solicitation and resulting contract is FAR Clause 52.217-8, the price of exercising this clause will be evaluated using the prices of the last option year period submitted in the vendor’s proposal.

(b) The Government intends to award solely on the information contained in the proposal and intends to award without discussions. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed necessary.

(c) Although price is not the most important evaluation factor, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process. The degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of equality of the proposals in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based. The importance of price will also increase when a vendor’s price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might be gained under the other aspects of the offer. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all vendors are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, proposals, price becomes more important in determining which vendor shall receive the award.

(d) 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.
