Offerors are instructed to specifically identify and separate all pages that are not included in the page count.

Pages Excluded from Page Count: The covers for volumes, tables of contents, indices, title pages, cross reference indices, and section dividers/tables will not be included in the page count if they are inserted solely to provide ease to the reader in locating parts/sections of the quote. They will be counted if they contain any other information, e.g., diagrams, extraneous data, etc.

Indexing: Each volume shall contain a detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume.

Factor 1 - Technical Approach:

The Offeror shall describe its technical approach to accomplish the requirements outlined in the PWS. The Technical Approach shall contain sufficient content for the Government to determine whether the Offeror understands and can perform the PWS requirements. To demonstrate understanding, the Offeror shall propose sound, practical, and feasible methods to accomplish all tasks identified in the PWS.

The Offeror shall submit a table showing its labor mix to accomplish the required tasks of the PWS. The table shall provide the individual’s name, name of proposed position, list of the PWS task(s) the individual will perform, and the number of hours proposed for the individual. For the name of the proposed position, the Offeror shall indicate which key position defined at PWS para 2.1 the individual will fill.

Factor 2 - Personnel Resumes:

The Offeror shall demonstrate through the submission of resumes that the key personnel defined in Section 2.1 of the PWS meet the criteria stated in Section 2.

If a firm has no relevant past performance history of the same or similar scope, size, and complexity of this requirement, the Offeror must affirmatively state that it possesses no past performance experience of the same or similar scope, size, and complexity.

Factor 4 - Price:

The Offeror shall submit a firm-fixed-price for Contract Line Item (CLIN) 0001 as listed in the RFQ and a breakdown of the proposed positions, labor rates, and hours used to arrive at the aggregate CLIN pricing. The pricing volume shall be submitted as a separate document. Offerors shall also submit a completed Attachment 1 – Pricing Template.

The Offeror shall not propose a price for CLINs 0002 (Travel) and 0003 (Other Direct Costs) since both of these CLINs are Cost Reimbursable and will be administered on a not-to-exceed basis. The estimated amounts are as follows: CLIN 0002 (Travel): $300,000.00, CLIN 0003 (Other Direct Costs): $425,000.00.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

The Offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation ``Unique Entity Identifier'' followed by the unique entity identifier that identifies the Offeror's name and address. The Offeror also shall enter its Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator, if applicable. The EFT indicator is a four-character suffix to the unique entity identifier. The suffix is assigned at the discretion of the Offeror to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative EFT accounts (see subpart 32.11) for the same entity. If the Offeror does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

(k) System for Award Management. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the Offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

(6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

(End of provision)

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

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 - Technical Approach Factor 2 - Personnel Resumes Factor 3 - Past Performance Factor 4 - Price

Factor 1 - Technical Approach is more important than Factor 2 – Personnel Resumes. Factor 2 – Personnel Resumes is more important than Factor 3 - Past Performance. Factor 3 – Past Performance is more important than Factor 4 – Price.

If the Offeror receives a “Marginal” or an “Unacceptable” rating for Factor 1 - Technical Approach, the Offeror will be ineligible for award and will not be further evaluated. If the Offeror receives a “Marginal” or an “Unacceptable” rating for Factor 2 – Personnel Resumes, the Offeror will be ineligible for award and will not be further evaluated.

Each quote will be separately evaluated and the quote’s strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and performance risks will be identified. A strength is an aspect of a quote that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that is advantageous to the Government during contract performance. A weakness is a flaw in the quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance. A lack of clarity in the quote that hinders an evaluator’s understanding is a weakness. A deficiency is a material failure of a Quote to meet a Government requirement, or, a combination of weaknesses in a quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. Performance risk is the potential for unsuccessful contract performance due to the technical approach, potential for increased cost, or potential for schedule delays. The Government intends to evaluate quotes as if to issue the contract without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror’s quote should contain the best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; accept an offer other than the lowest priced quote; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received. The Government intends to award a contract to the responsible Offeror whose quote conforming to this solicitation that will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Factor 1 - Technical Approach:

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s ability to accomplish the requirements outlined in the PWS and the understanding of the Offeror’s sound, practical, and feasible methods to accomplish all tasks identified in the PWS.

The Government will also evaluate the Offeror’s labor mix, to include the level of effort and the experience and qualifications of its personnel, to determine the extent to which the labor mix can satisfy the PWS requirements.

Factor 2 - Personnel Resumes:

The Government will evaluate the resumes of the Offeror’s proposed key personnel to determine if those individuals meet the criteria stated in Section 2 of the PWS and the extent to which they exceed the PWS requirements.

Factor 3 - Past Performance:

The Government will evaluate the degree of confidence it has in a quoter’s ability to perform services that meet the Government’s needs, based on a demonstrated record of performance. Performance confidence is assessed at the overall past performance factor level after evaluating aspects of the quoter’s recent and relevant past performance.

The Government may obtain past performance information from any source available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases;

interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Contracting Officer’s Representatives, Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency.

Factor 4 – Price:

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s price in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a) to determine if the price is fair and reasonable. The Government will add the total price of the base period and the optional six (6) month extension of services, IAW FAR 52.217-8, to reach a total overall evaluated price. The Offeror shall not price the optional six (6) month extension of services.

Rating Methodology

Factor 1 - Technical Approach: The following adjectival ratings will be used to rate Factor 1 – Technical Approach. A rating of “Marginal” or “Unacceptable” under Factor 1 will render the Offeror ineligible for award.

Rating Description Outstanding Quote indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

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

Acceptable Quote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Quote has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high. Quote is unawardable.

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

Factor 2 – Personnel Resumes: The following adjectival ratings will be used to rate Factor 2 - Personnel Resumes.

A rating of “Marginal” or Unacceptable” under Factor 2 will render the Offeror ineligible for award.

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

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

Acceptable Quote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Quote has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high. Quote is unawardable.

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

Factor 3 - Past Performance: The following adjectival ratings will be used to rate Past Performance:

Each quote will be evaluated in accordance with the RFQ and assigned a recency, relevancy, performance and confidence rating under Factor 3 using the ratings below:

Recency: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past five (5) years from date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated. Note: If any part of the performance falls within the past five (5) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation the contract in its entirety may be considered/evaluated for past performance.

Relevancy: The following definitions will be used for the relevancy rating:

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires

Performance: The following definitions will be used for the past performance assessment rating:

Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the customer's benefit. The element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the customer's benefit. The element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. The element being assessed contains some minor problems for which corrective action was acceptable.

Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified or taken satisfactory corrective action.

Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery did not occur or is not likely to occur in a timely manner. The element being assessed contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective action appears or was ineffective.

Confidence: The following definitions will be used for the confidence rating:

Substantial Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Factor 4 – Price: Price will not be scored or receive an adjectival rating.
