4. Volume 1 – Factor 1: Technical Capability

Offerors shall submit a proposal that addresses the following three (3) Subfactors. The reading of these sections should leave an evaluator with a detailed understanding of the Offeror’s technical capacity for meeting the technical requirements of the solicitation without having to search throughout the entire quotation to piece together the Offeror’s response.

Do not simply repeat back verbatim or paraphrase requirements along the lines of “we will do this or that.”

Instead, present your plans that describe or outline how you propose to meet the requirements, and do so in sufficient detail to explain clearly the procedures and processes you will put in place and use. In other words, treat each requirement as a question to be answered with “here’s my approach to do the job.” The Government will only evaluate an Offeror’s proposal based solely on the information provided.

Subfactor 1: Selection of Training Instructors

The Offerors shall submit a plan detailing the requirements stated in Objective 1 of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and of Annex A: Personnel Qualification. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following:

A brief narrative describing the approaches and processes used for recruiting and vetting instructors to demonstrate that they are qualified to instruct, are subject matter experts in security and antiterrorism, and able to speak the official language of the host nation as required by the PWS Tasks in Para 2.2 and Annex A:

Personnel Qualification. Include how Offerors will maintain a pool of qualified instructors for this effort.

Objectives - Baseline Security Training Plan: Course curricula, lesson plans, and points of instructions; developing and conducting baseline training; submit a draft Baseline Security Training curriculum or syllabus that covers the main and mandatory topics, and describes the measurement tools used to assess training effectiveness in both subject manner content and instructional delivery.

Subfactor 3: Presentation and Reporting of Training

Offeror shall provide a narrative detailing the methodology for ensuring trainees’ comprehension and assimilation of subject-matter material; internal measurement tool to assess training effectiveness; and a training report template that the offeror will use to report training as stated in the PWS Tasks in Para 2.2 and Annex B:

Training.

5. Volume 2 – 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. The Government will review the information collected to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment 2) to determine the Offeror’s overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of the Offeror’s past performance.

Offeror shall submit a past performance proposal, Volume II Past Performance (Attachment 3), on at least one (1) recent contract(s) for the prime and one (1) for the subcontractors/teaming contractor (performing as the Prime on that effort) to determine the recency, relevancy, and quality of the Offeror’s performance. The Offeror shall submit a separate Volume II Past Performance Proposal for each reference provided, with each reference not exceeding two (2) pages.

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 bus transportation services similar in scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities. To review quality, the Offeror’s Past Performance information collected will be reviewed to determine the quality of the Offeror’s performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate them into the performance confidence assessment.

The Offeror shall demonstrate recent and relevant past performance by completing and submitting Attachment 3

– Volume II – Past Performance.

Failure to submit a Past Performance Proposal (Attachment 3) will result in noncompliance. Therefore, in the event the Offeror does not have any past performance record, the Offeror shall still submit a Past Performance proposal with a statement that past performance is unavailable.

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

Subcontractor/Teaming Information. If an Offeror proposes a teaming arrangement for services, the

Offeror (proposed prime Offeror) shall provide past performance information on any subcontractor or teaming arrangement offered.

o At a minimum, when a prime Offeror teams with a subcontractor, past performance information relevant to that subcontractor shall be provided on at least one (1) effort. Offerors shall include in their proposal the written consent of their proposed subcontractor(s) to allow the Government to discuss the subcontractor’s past performance assessment with the Offeror.

Questionnaires. Offerors must send Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ), Attachment 2, to their customers’ points of contact (POCs) and instruct the POCs to complete the questionnaire in English.

Offerors shall make their best effort to send out enough past performance questionnaires to reasonably expect submission to the contracting officer/ contract specialist at least one questionnaire on each cited contract/work effort. The customer POC that received the questionnaire shall e-mail the completed questionnaires directly to the contract specialist listed on the questionnaire. Past Performance Questionnaires are requested to be received by the issuing office no later than the closing date/time of the solicitation. Ensure that the customer POC annotates the total contract value performed up to the date the POC received the questionnaire, and that the POC provides sufficient details to allow the Government to determine the relevancy and the quality of performance of the past contract. Completed questionnaires included in the proposal or submitted directly by the Offeror will not be evaluated.

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. If you are aware that one or more of your contracts in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) specifically relates to the requirements in this acquisition, please provide this contract/work effort as one of the past performance submissions with your proposal.

6. Volume 4 – Factor 3: Price

Offerors fully burden price proposal shall be complete, and represent an accurate reflection of the requirement as stated in the PWS.

Offerors shall complete, in its entirety, all unit and extended prices using the Government provided Microsoft Excel Pricing Sheet labeled “Attachment X2” and submit it in both the Excel and pdf format. The Pricing Sheet will establish the maximum unit prices the Offeror may charge for services under the contract.

The Government will not be obligated to pay the Offeror any amount in excess of the prices proposed.

Offerors are advised that in the event unit prices multiplied by quantity have been incorrectly calculated, the unit price will govern. The total evaluated price will be considered in making the final best value determination.

The price proposal is presumed to represent the Offeror’s best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between promised performance and price should be explained in the proposal. Any significant inconsistency, if not explained, raises a fundamental issue of the understanding of the nature and scope of the work required.

To account for the option period(s) possible under FAR 52.217-8 (maximum six months) Option to Extend Services, the Government has provided a table within Attachment X2, labelled “FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services.” The Offeror shall provide a unit price for each CLIN/SLIN Description. If the Government decides to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8 in an option period other than the fourth option year, then the rate proposed for the last year performance was completed will be used.

Furthermore, the Offeror shall submit a price proposal narrative in MS Word or PDF that provides supporting pricing information/data of how their proposed prices are reasonable in order to meet the PWS requirements. The narrative shall provide a brief summary of the risks considered and/or indicate whether additional services are being proposed that exceeds the minimum requirements that have affected the pricing.

The Offeror is required to submit a price proposal narrative in addition to the completed Attachment X2 as part of their Volume 3 submission. Failure to submit the price proposal narrative will result in the Offeror’s proposal to be non-compliant to the solicitation requirement and the Offeror’s proposal will not be further considered for award.

As referred to in paragraph (b) of FAR Clause 52.216-19, "Ordering Limitations" of this contract, the contract minimum guaranteed to the offeror is a total of €2,500.00 for the base period. The maximum quantity is the total quantity for all items combined as set forth in the pricing sheet, Attachment X2.

7. Volume 5 – Factor 4: Representations and Certifications

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

Addendum to 52.212-2 Paragraph (a)

The words Offer, Offeror, or Proposal within this clause are substituted to read Quotation, Vendor, or Quotation, respectively.

Basis of Award

The Government intends to award a single or multiple single-award Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to the vendor’s proposal whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, provides the lowest price while meeting all the technical requirements specifications of the solicitation.

Lowest priced proposals that do not meet all requirements of the solicitation shall not be considered for award. The offeror’s pricing must be reasonable, and the offeror must be determined responsible in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.1. This solicitation is being competed under FAR Parts 12 and 13 procedures.

The Government may, in its discretion, conduct exchanges and clarifications with vendors if exchanges are determined to be in the Government’s best interest.

The Government shall conduct price analysis first to determine whether a vendor’s proposal is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a). After a vendor’s price is determined fair and reasonable, the Government shall then evaluate the technical and past performance volumes of the vendor who represents the lowest price that was determined to be fair and reasonable to determine technical and past performance acceptability. Based on the preceding, the Government reserves the right to not evaluate all vendors’ proposals as it will be based on the vendor who represents the lowest price that was determined to be fair and reasonable.

The overall evaluation criteria for this solicitation are as follows:

Factor 1: Technical Acceptability.

For a proposal to be determined technically acceptable, all proposed items shall meet or exceed the minimum specifications and requirements set forth in the solicitation. The technical submissions will be rated as either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.”

Acceptable is defined as meeting the Government’s requirements and Unacceptable is defined as not meeting the Government’s requirements. If a vendor’s technical submission is determined to be Unacceptable, it will no longer be evaluated or considered for award. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s response to each Element stated in 52.212-1 Addendum to determine if the vendor’s proposal clearly demonstrates the vendor’s capability to meet or exceed the requirement in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The three (3) elements are:

(1) Selection of Training Instructors;

(2) Technical Approach Baseline Training Plans; and

(3) Presentation and Reporting of Training.

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation

Factor 2: Past Performance. Will be evaluated to assess the vendor’s ability to successfully meet the requirements based on the Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of how well the vendor performed on previous contracts. The Government will evaluate the information collected to include but is not limited to responses received from the attached Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) and the Past Performance Proposal, Attachment 3, to determine the Offeror’s record of recent and relevant past performance.

The vendor’s past performance will be rated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis using the ratings in the table below:

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.

An offeror without a past performance record will be deemed to be Neutral, and thus Acceptable.

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

Recent The effort must be ongoing or must have been completed within the last three (3) years by the closing date and time of this solicitation.

Not Recent The effort has been completed for more than three (3) years by the closing date and time of this solicitation.

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 their performance involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities this solicitation requires.

Scope: Refers to the type of work performed in the Offeror’s past performance reference when compared to the type of work required in this solicitation. The type of work required is for student transportation security training services.

Magnitude of effort: Refers to the size (e.g., currency/dollar amount, personnel, vehicles) of an Offeror’s past performance reference. The Offeror’s past performance reference will be compared to the Government’s estimated amount to perform the work required in the PWS.

Complexity: Refers to the level of complication of an Offeror’s past performance reference. The level of complexity will be compared to the Government’s estimated complexity level. The following factors may be considered for each past performance reference to determine whether each reference is similar in complexity.

1. Appropriately managing personnel.

2. Providing, tracking, and reporting required training.

3. Providing timely and accurate reports and other contract deliverables.

4. Effectively communicating with all stakeholders. Communicating issues as necessary to ensure all stakeholders were informed.

Quality Assessment. The Government will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the offeror’s performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate these into the performance confidence assessment.

The government will consider past performance in the aggregate in addition to an individual contract basis when assigning a confidence rating. In addition to past performance information submitted by the contractor, past performance information may be obtained from Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Award Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); and interviews with Program Manager, Contracting Officers, or other sources known to the government.

If the Government chooses to conduct negotiations, Offerors in the competitive range will be provided with 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 proposal if it is found that the Offeror deleted, misrepresented, or withheld any information that might have a negative impact on its past performance record.

Factor 3: Price.

This factor will not be assigned a rating; however, the vendor’s proposal, using Attachment X2 and the vendor’s price proposal narrative, will be evaluated to determine price reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. The Government will use the vendor’s proposal narrative as part of their price reasonableness determination.

(b) Addendum to Paragraph (b). Paragraph (b) is changed to read as follows:

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).

To account for the option period(s) possible under FAR 52.217-8 (maximum six months) Option to Extend Services, the Government has provided a table within Attachment X2, labeled “FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services.”

The Offeror shall provide a Unit Price for each CLIN Description. If the Government decides to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8 in an option period other than the fourth option year, then the rate proposed for the last year performance was completed will be used.

Factor 4: Representations and Certifications.

Will not be evaluated, but will be reviewed for…
