The following have been modified:

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

(A) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the single responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

A vendor must be determined “responsible” in accordance with FAR Part 9. Vendors who are not responsible are ineligible for award. Quotes must meet solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations, and certifications. Failure to comply with the requirements of this solicitation may result in the Vendor being ineligible for award and eliminated from consideration without further evaluation.

Evaluation Factors

The following evaluation criteria will be used to evaluate each quote.

Price

(1) The total evaluated price will be the sum of the total price.

(2) Reasonableness: The Vendor’s quote will be evaluated to ensure it is fair and reasonable, pursuant to FAR

13.106. The government anticipates adequate price competition for this contract.

(3) The Government, as part of their evaluation of price, may perform a price realism analysis to ensure that low priced quote(s) do not present an unacceptable risk to contract performance.

Technical

(1) Each offeror’s example resume, will be assigned a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. Acceptability will be based upon the government’s confidence that the vendor understands the minimum employee requirements shown in the paragraphs below.

Contractor personnel shall have a minimum of three years work experience as a cultural advisor in Somalia.

Contractor personnel shall have an active TS/SCI security clearance.

Contractor personnel shall have Interagency Language Roundtable level 3 proficiency in English and

Somali.

Contractor personnel shall have demonstrated experience satisfying the requirements listed in Section 4 of the Performance Work Statement dated 12FEB2024.

(2) Each quote will be assigned a single rating of “acceptable” or “unacceptable” based on the definitions below. A quote must be “acceptable” to be considered for award.

- Acceptable: Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

- Unacceptable: Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Past Performance

(1) Each offeror's Past Performance will be assigned an overall rating of acceptable or unacceptable. To be considered for evaluation, past performance must be both recent and relevant. Recent efforts are those performed and completed within three years of the date of issue for this solicitation. Relevant efforts are those under which cultural advisor and interpreter services were performed for a corporate or government agency. Each quote will be assigned a single rating of "acceptable" or "unacceptable" based on the definitions below. A quote must be "acceptable" to be considered for award.

- Acceptable: 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*.

- Unacceptable: 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.

*Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will not be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable on past performance. A rating of neutral will be applied to such offers and the offeror shall be deemed eligible for award based upon past performance.

Evaluation Procedures will be as follows:

(i) All proposals will be reviewed for timeliness. Timely proposals will be reviewed for responsiveness (compliance) to the solicitation. If the proposal is not responsive to the solicitation, it will not be evaluated further.

(ii) Total price, including all options and extensions, will be ranked from lowest to highest.

(iii) The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for acceptability of technical requirements.

(iv) If the lowest offer receives a rating of “acceptable” for technical requirements, past performance will then be evaluated. Award will be made if the offeror receives a rating of “acceptable” or “neutral”. If past performance is rated as unacceptable the offeror is removed from award consideration and the next lowest offeror will be evaluated using these steps. This process will be repeated until an acceptable awardee is identified.

(B) Options and contract extensions. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options and contract extensions 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/contract extensions shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(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.
