I: Science Middle School Grades (6-8):

Pass-Fail Technical Approach Subfactors

a) Subfactor 1: Alignment to Standards, PWS 1.3.1: The vendor's quote will be evaluated based on their demonstration in the alignment to the New Generation Science Standards (NGSS) including all performance expectations in grade bands 6-8.

Trade-Off Technical Approach Subfactors--The rating standard for these subfactors are shown below:

2. Rating Method

Table 1: Factor 1 and 2 Technical Approach Pass/ Fail

Rating Subfactor 1, Certification Training

Pass The vendor self-certifies that its resources are aligned to the New Generation Science Standards in PWS 2.1

Fail Vendor does not self-certify to the statement above.

Table 2: Factor 1 Technical Approach (Subfactors 3 through 5)

Rating Rating Standard

Exceeding The vendor's quote exceeds the solicitation requirements.

Acceptable The vendor's quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable The vendor's quote does not early meet the minimum requirement of the solicitation. Quote is un-awardable

II. Factor 2-Past Performance

A vendor's Past Performance will be evaluated as "Good" "Acceptable"," Unacceptable" or "Unknown/Neutral" (see table 3 below). The past performance evaluation will assess the vendor's probability of meeting the minimum solicitation requirements. Vendors quote shall include at least 3 and no more than 5 references of relevant past performance references 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 the Contractor Performance Assessment System (CPARS) , System https://cpars.gov Award Management (SAM) , Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Informationhttps://SAM.gov system (FAPIIS), other databases, and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officer Representatives, Contract Specialists, and Contracting officers.

Relevant performance includes efforts of the same or similar in size and scope that this solicitation requires; vendors should include specific examples, of relevance, 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 five years, including those efforts currently being performed.

The Government will consider the collective record of all recent and relevant past performance in assessing a rating. In the case of a 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. CPARSWEB The Official Web site for Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System and Past Performance Information Retrieval System. cpars.gov

Table 3: Factor - Past Performance Rating Table

Rating Description

Good Based on the vendor's recent and relevant present and past performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

Acceptab le

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

Unaccept able

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

Unknown /Neutral

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

III. Factor 3-Price

Price will be evaluated separately from technical and past performance factors. Vendor's total quoted price will be evaluated for fair and reasonable pricing in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. This effort will be awarded as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract and includes estimated quantities (reference PWS and Pricing Sheet). The quantities identified in the Pricing Sheet are estimated and represents the Government's best estimate for each line item. Payment will be for actual quantities procured and delivered at the prices outlined in each Delivery Order. If the Government's requirements do not result in the quantities estimated; such event shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment under the contract.
