(Based on the questionnaire, DoDEA’s IT department may need to do some testing to see if the vendor’s proposed software system meets DoDEA’s security requirements so that DoDEA can use it on its network. If testing is required, the vendor’s proposed software system must pass all IT checks)

Fail: The vendor does not submit, or submits an incomplete, GPAT 508 Compliance Questionnaire or Cloud Questionnaire; or does not pass all IT software testing; or does not accept DoDEA’s addendum to the End User License Agreement.

Factor 2, Past Performance:

The vendor’s past performance shall be evaluated to assess the vendor’s probability of meeting the minimum solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the vendor’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the services outlined in the solicitation requirements. Relevant efforts are defined as any efforts that are of similar size and scope of the solicitation. Recent efforts are defined as those performed to any extent within the last three (3) years prior to the closing date of the solicitation. Past performance will be rated on an “Acceptable,” “Neutral,” or “Unacceptable” basis.

Rating Description Acceptable Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort, or the vendor’s performance record is unknown (see note below).

Neutral No recent and relevant performance record is available or the Vendor’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful past performance assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The Vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Unacceptable Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

The Government may consider data available in the statistical reporting module of the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) regarding the vendor’s past performance history for the services being purchased. Information regarding past performance may also be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include but not limited to:

Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS); Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS); other federal databases; references from Program Managers and Contracting Officers; past customers, Government agencies and activities and other sources deemed necessary.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In that case, the vendor will be determined to have “neutral” past performance, which shall be considered “acceptable.”

Factor 3, Price: Price will be evaluated utilizing techniques identified in FAR 13.106-2 and FAR 13.106(3)(a) to determine whether it is reasonable. This factor will be evaluated using one or more of the following price analysis techniques identified in FAR 13.106(3)(a). (NOTE: The quantity of 67,500 Each will be used to evaluate the base price and all option prices.)

(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) 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.

52.219-4 NOTICE OF PRICE EVALUATION PREFERENCE FOR HUBZONE SMALL BUSINESS

CONCERNS (DEVIATION 2019-O0003) (JAN 2019)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause— “HUBZone small business concern” means a small business concern, certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA), that appears on the List of Qualified HUBZone Small Business Concerns maintained by the SBA (13 CFR 126.103).

“Similarly situated entity” means a first-tier subcontractor, including an independent contractor, that has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award; as is considered small for the NAICS code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract the subcontractor will perform. An example of a similarly situated entity is a first-tier subcontractor that is a HUBZone small business concern for a HUBZone set-aside or sole source award under the HUBZone Program.

(b) Evaluation preference.

(1) Offers will be evaluated by adding a factor of 10 percent to the price of all offers, except—

(i) Offers from HUBZone small business concerns that have not waived the evaluation preference; and

(ii) Otherwise successful offers from small business concerns.

(2) The factor of 10 percent shall be applied on a line item basis or to any group of items on which award may be made. Other evaluation factors described in the solicitation shall be applied before application of the factor.

(3) When the two highest rated offerors are a HUBZone small business concern and a large business, and the evaluated offer of the HUBZone small business concern is equal to the evaluated offer of the large business after considering the price evaluation preference, award will be made to the HUBZone small business concern.

(c) Waiver of evaluation preference. A HUBZone small business concern may elect to waive the evaluation preference, in which case the factor will be added to its offer for evaluation purposes. The agreements in paragraphs

(d) and (e) of this clause do not apply if the offeror has waived the evaluation preference.

__ Offeror elects to waive the evaluation preference.

(d) Independent contractors. An independent contractor shall be considered a subcontractor.

(e) Agreement. By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, a HUBZone small business concern agrees that, in the case of a contract for—

(1) Services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded;

(2) Supplies (other than procurement from a nonmanufacturer of such supplies), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded;

(3) General construction, it will not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded; or

(4) Construction by special trade contractors, it will not pay more than 75 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 75 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.

(f) A HUBZone joint venture agrees that the aggregate of the HUBZone small business concerns to the joint venture, not each concern separately, will perform the applicable requirements specified in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(g) Notice. The HUBZone small business offeror acknowledges that a prospective HUBZone awardee must be a HUBZone small business concern at the time of award of this contract. The HUBZone offeror shall provide the Contracting Officer a copy of the notice required by 13 CFR 126.501 if material changes occur before contract award that could affect its HUBZone eligibility. If the apparently successful HUBZone offeror is not a HUBZone small business concern at the time of award of this contract, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful HUBZone small business concern or other offeror.
