Volume II – Factor 2: PAST PERFORMANCE.

The past performance evaluation is a comparative assessment of the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the contract based on the Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of how well the Offeror performed on previous contracts.

Offeror shall submit past performance information on at least two (2), but not more than five (5), recent contracts for the prime and subcontractors (performing as the Prime on that effort) to determine the recency and relevancy of the Offeror’s performance. To be recent, the effort must be on-going or must have been completed within the last three (3) years by the closing date/time of this solicitation. To be relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate that performance involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The relevancy analysis will focus on if the Offeror has provided hearing-impaired services similar in scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities.

Past Performance information submitted that is not recent (more than 3 years) and/or not relevant will not be evaluated.

i. The Government reserves the right to obtain information relative to present and past performance on its own, in addition to information provided by the Offeror and from contract and subcontract POCs.

Volume III – Factor 3: PRICE.

(A) This factor will not be assigned a rating. However, the Offeror’s price quote will be evaluated for reasonableness, and balancing of prices based upon the Offeror’s priced quote using the Pricing Sheet (Attachment 1) as follows:

See 52.212-2 Addendum

Technical approach is more important than Past Performance, when combined, Technical Approach and Past Performance factors are more important than price.

(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.

52.212-2 ADDENDUM – EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD This acquisition will be conducted using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 13 (to include 13.5). FAR Part 15 source selection procedures will NOT be used for this acquisition. The Government will award a Firm Fixed-Price, Single Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will offer the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. The resulting IDIQ contract may be awarded to an Offeror with a higher priced quotation if the perceived benefits of the higher priced quotation merit the additional cost. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

1.Technical Approach Evaluation Factor:

Volume 1 – Factor 1: Technical Approach.

Performance Work Statement (PWS): The government will evaluate the offeror’s Technical Approach in providing services as outlined in PWS.

Additionally, the government will evaluate the offeror’s submission of an actual copy of a written Functional Hearing Assessments (FHA)/ /Functional Listening Evaluations (FLE) report with PII information redacted for evaluation, and provide a copy of the ToD / HI Certification.

Technical Approach Ratings:

The Technical Approach Factor will be rated in accordance with the following Adjective Rating Method:

Combined Technical Approach / Risk Rating Method

Outstanding Submission indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Submission indicates a thorough approach of the requirements and contains at least one strength and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Submission indicates an adequate approach of the requirements and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Unacceptable Submission does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Submission is unawardable

Offerors who receive an “Unacceptable” technical rating will not be considered further for award.

Volume II – Factor 2: Past Performance. The government will evaluate the offeror’s past performance by reviewing information collected to determine the quality of the Offeror’s overall record of recent and relevant past performance.

In assessing the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the contract, evaluation of past performance will result in Past Performance Recency, Relevancy, and Overall Ratings as follows:

Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent according to the following:

Past Performance Recency Ratings

Relevancy Assessment. The Government will determine how relevant the effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the solicitation. The Government is not bound by the Offeror’s assessment of relevancy. To be relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate that performance involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevancy will be rated in accordance with the following Rating method:

Past Performance Relevancy

Past Performance Overall Rating. Past Performance Confidence assessment will be based on the following Rating method:

Past Performance Confidence Assessment

In addition to past performance information submitted by the Offeror and Questionnaires completed for the Offeror, past performance information may be obtained from Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, or other sources known to the government.

In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those individual contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this Request for Quote (RFQ). The Government also reserves the right to give greater consideration to an individual Offeror’s past performance information rather than the combined past performance information of an Offeror.

Offerors without a record of recent or relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or is so sparse that a past performance rating cannot be reasonably assigned will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and as a result, will receive a “Neutral” rating for the Past Performance factor. However, the Government reserves the right to make a determination that a “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating is worth more than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating in a best value tradeoff.

If the Government chooses to conduct discussions, Offerors will be provided an opportunity to address any adverse past performance information not previously addressed. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information which supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation aspect or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

The Government may reject a quote if it is found that the Offeror deleted, misrepresented, or withheld any information that might have a negative impact on its past performance record.

Volume III – Factor 3 Price. The price quotes will be evaluated for price reasonableness but not rated. Offeror’s proposed prices will be determined using Attachment 1 by multiplying the quantities identified in the RFQ by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to confirm the extended amounts for each CLIN. The individual CLINs will be totaled to determine the offeror’s total proposed price. To account for the option periods possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months), the unit prices from the last option year will be used.

FAR 52.212-2 paragraph b is addended below:

b. Evaluation of Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base period. The Offeror shall submit pricing for the base period and all option periods. 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).
