The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(k) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(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 or 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.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) All offers received timely and in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-1 will be evaluated. This acquisition will use trade-off analysis to make a best value award decision. Source selection will incorporate trade-off techniques and will be made based on an integrated assessment of each offeror’s proposal. As such, the Government may award to an offeror who has not offered the lowest price or the highest rated technical offer.

(b) 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. Offers will be evaluated based on the stated evaluation factors.

(c) Experience and past performance are of equal importance. On experience sub-factors 1 and 2 are of equal importance. On past performance, sub-factors 1 and 2 are of equal importance. Experience and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

Factor 1, Experience.

Sub-Factor 1.1. Corporate Experience.

The Government will evaluate the depth, recency, and relevancy of the offeror (and major subcontractor’s) experience as compared to the services required by this solicitation. A “major subcontractor” is defined as any subcontractor that performs 50% or more of a task, to include individual options. Relevant experience includes contracts that are considered to be similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity when compared to the requirements described in this solicitation (e.g., teaching and developing higher educational curriculum and associated materials in a field such as international relations and security studies for an international audience and developing simulations/decision-making exercises for use in professional military education systems).

Sub-Factor 1.2. Key Personnel Experience.

The Government will evaluate the depth, recency, and relevancy of the proposed Course Exercise Developer’s qualifications and experience as compared to the services required by this solicitation. Relevant qualifications include an advanced degree in International Relations or an associated field. Relevant experience includes contracts that are considered to be similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity when compared to the requirements described in this solicitation (e.g., teaching and developing higher educational curriculum and associated materials in a field such as international relations and security studies.)

Factor 2, Past Performance.

Sub-factor 2.1. Corporate Past Performance.

The Government will evaluate the recency, relevancy, and quality of the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) past performance. A “major subcontractor” is defined as any subcontractor that performs 50% or more of a task, to include individual options. Relevant contracts are contracts operating in similar working environments and contracts involving services that are considered to be similar in scope, magnitude and complexity when compared to the requirements described in this solicitation. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) past performance will be used to evaluate how well it has performed similar services in the past. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for past performance. To assess performance risk the Government may use both past performance data provided by the offerors and data obtained independently.

Sub-factor 2.2. Key Personnel Past Performance.

The Government will evaluate the recency, relevancy, and quality of the proposed Course Exercise Developer’s past performance. Relevant contracts are contracts operating in similar working environments and contracts involving services that are considered to be similar in scope, magnitude and complexity when compared to the requirements described in this solicitation. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the proposed Course Exercise Developer’s past performance will be used to evaluate how well he/she has performed similar services in the past. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for past performance. To assess performance risk the Government may use both past performance data provided by the offerors and data obtained independently

Factor 3, Price.

All proposed prices, including options, will be evaluated for reasonableness and in accordance with FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers (FEB 2000), as applicable.

(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.
