Volume 2, Part II (Technical Approach) aligns to theTechnical Requirements outlined in Technical Exhibit 1 on pages 78-79. See Amendment 1for more information.

• With regard to the GPAT for accessibility, to what WCAG Standards are programs required to meet (i.e., WCAG 2.0 or 2.1)?

52.212-2 ADDENDUM – EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (DEC 2006)

Addendum to 52.212-2 Paragraph (a)

The Government anticipates issuing a multiple award Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Firm-Fixed Price (IDIQ) contract resulting from this solicitation to the vendor whose quote provides the best value to the government in accordance with FAR Part 12 and 13 procedures. To make the award decision, the government will consider three evaluation factors: (1) Resource Specifications; (2) Past Performance; and (3) Price.

The Government will apply a tiered approach to the resource specifications evaluation using two parts. The first part of the resource specification evaluation will be conducted on a pass/fail basis using the ratings in table one (1) below. If a quote receives a fail rating for part 1, it will not be eligible for award. The second part of the resource specification evaluation will be conducted using an adjectival rating process depicted in table two (2) below. The Government may determine the best value vendor to be other than the lowest priced offer or other than the highest technically rated quote.

Factor 1- Resources Specifications

Part I Pass/Fail Criteria: The Government will evaluate the vendors’s resources quote for their ability to meet the the specification outlined in the PWS section 2.1 and its subsections.

Factor 3- Past Performance

2.1.1 A vendor’s past performance will be evaluated as “acceptable”,” unacceptable” or “neutral”. The past performance evaluation will assess the vendor’s probability of meeting the minimum solicitation requirements.

Vendors shall submit at least one and no more three recent and relevent past performance projects with their quote and will be assigned one of the previously mentioned ratings. The assessment will be based on the vendor’s record of relevant and recent past performance information. In addition to past performance, the Government may also consider information obtained through other sources such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System.

2.1.2 Relevant performance includes efforts of the same or similar scope that this solicitation requires; vendors should include specific examples, of relevance, if appropriate. These include efforts where the vendor provided material similar to those outlined in the PWS. Recent efforts are defined as those efforts, which have been performed during any portion of the last three years, including those efforts currently being performed.

2.1.3 The Government will consider the collective record of all recent and relevant past performance in assessing a rating. In the case of an vendor without a record of past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance can be reasonably assigned, the vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance therefore, the vendor shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable”.

Table 3 Factor 3 - Past Performance Rating

Rating Description

Acceptable

Based on the vendor’s recent and relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown/Neutral No recent and relevant performance record is available or is so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned.

Unacceptable

Based on the vendor’s recent and relevant performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

2.2 Factor 3 - Price- Vendor’s total quoted price will be evaluated for fair and reasonable pricing in accordance with FAR 13.106-3.
