52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(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: Qualifying Criteria, Technical, Past Performance, and Price.

Qualifying Criteria will be evaluated first on a Pass/Fail basis. If the proposal does not pass, no further evaluation will be conducted, and the proposal will not be considered for award. Factor 1 – Technical will be evaluated next. If the proposal is rated Unacceptable/Red, Past Performance and Price will not be evaluated, and the proposal will not be considered for award.

(b) The Government intends to award a single Firm Fixed Price type contract to the responsible vendor whose overall proposal represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. To arrive at a selection decision, the Contracting Officer will perform an integrated assessment using the evaluation factors described in this solicitation. This may result in awards being made to the higher rated, potentially higher priced proposal(s) where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors. This is a competitive, best value trade-off selection that will be conducted in accordance with (IAW) with FAR parts 15, 12 & 13, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Special Operations Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (SOFARS). The following factors will be used to evaluate proposals and are in descending order of importance; Technical, Past Performance and Price. The order of importance for the evaluation factors is 1) Technical, 2) Past Performance, and 3) Price. When combined, Technical and Past Performance are more important than price.

(i) Factor I: Technical: The offerors approach to performing contract requirements and its capability to successfully perform the contract in accordance with Performance Work Statement. Evaluation of this factor will focus on the significant strengths, strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses and deficiencies of the proposal.

A. The Government will evaluate the extent to which the Technical Capability plan demonstrates an understanding of how to successfully maintain a Vendor Help Desk and guaranteed response times as detailed in the PWS. A feasible, realistic plan that mitigates disruption of schedule, degradation of performance, and/or the need for increased Government oversight represents a low risk to contract performance, and a higher rating will result.

B. The Government will evaluate the extent to which the Offeror’s plan, processes, and procedures demonstrate the ability to successfully meet all security requirements (facility and personnel), procedures and policies, risk mitigation techniques, flexibility, and experience that when viewed collectively demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to successfully execute contract performance while minimizing impacts to the mission. The Government will determine whether the proposal meets the requirements in the PWS and to what degree the proposed approach indicates an understanding of the requirements per the definitions contained within Technical: Combined Color/ Risk Ratings chart below.

C. The Government will evaluate the extent to which the Offeror’s plan, processes, and procedures demonstrate the ability to successfully execute equipment repair and replacement, as well as the ordering processes for Bill of Materials as detailed in the PWS.

D. If an Offeror’s Capability Plan demonstrates a material failure to meet a Government requirement, it is a deficiency in the Offeror’s proposal. The Government will determine if the Plan meets or exceeds PWS requirements, to what degree the proposed approach indicates an understanding of the requirements, and the level of risk to unsuccessful performance per the color rating definitions contained within the Technical: Combined Color/ Risk Ratings chart below.

Identified strengths may be incorporated into any resultant contract award (i.e., added to the SOW, added as a Section H clause, etc.) as appropriate.

Technical Ratings – The following ratings will be applied to Factor 1 during evaluations. These ratings will also be assigned as an overall evaluated rating of the proposal.

Technical: Combined Color/ Risk Ratings

Color Adjectival

Rating

Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements, contains multiple strengths and / or at least one significant strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple Good Proposal demonstrates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength or significant strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green Acceptable Proposal demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and / or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is un-awardable, and / or risk of performance is unacceptably high.

(i) When conducting evaluations of Factor 1, the below definitions will be utilized:

Finding Definition

Significant Strength

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. See FAR 15.001.

Significant Weakness

A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

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. See FAR 15.001.

Risk, as it pertains to source selection, is the potential for unsuccessful contract performance.

The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which an offeror’s proposed approach to achieving the technical factor or subfactor may involve risk of disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. (For firm-fixed-price contracts, the reference to increased cost may be removed from the risk definition.)

(i) 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.

(ii) 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) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.

(d) 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 could become the factor in determining which vendors shall receive the award.

(e) 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.
