FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL

- SUBFACTOR 2 – Government IT Compliance Forms: The Government will evaluate the vendor’s executed submission of the required compliance forms.

FACTOR 2– PAST PERFORMANCE

The offeror’s past performance shall be evaluated to assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the resources/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 a “Good”, “Acceptable”, “Neutral” or “Unacceptable” basis.

Rating Description Good Based on the Vendor’s performance record, the

Government has confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Acceptable

Based on the Vendor’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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.

Unacceptable

Based on the Vendor’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror 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 offeror’s past performance history for the services being purchased. Information regarding past performance may also be obtained from the offeror’s proposal, information obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition, or 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 history, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history. The offeror shall be determined to have “Neutral” past performance. For this evaluation, “Neutral” past performance rating shall be considered “Acceptable.”

FACTOR 3 – PRICE

(a) Price will be evaluated utilizing techniques identified in FAR FAR 13.106-(3)(a) to determine whether it is reasonable. The analysis will be conducted on the total price to include the base period and all option periods. All line items will be evaluated to determine if prices are unbalanced. If the analysis indicates that pricing is unbalanced, the quote may be rejected if it is determined to pose an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(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.
