(b) Language Skills is a pass/fail factor. To be considered further, the quote must receive a pass rating for Factor 1.

Education, experience, and past performance are of equal importance. On experience, sub-factors 2 and 3 are of equal importance. When combined, sub-factors 2 and 3 are of equal importance to sub-factor 1. Education, experience, and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

2.1 Pass/Fail , Factor 1, Language Skills.

In order to be eligible for award, the quoter must satisfactorily demonstrate that he/she meets the requirements spelled out by sub-factors 1 and 2.

2.1.1 Pass/Fail-Sub-Factor 1. Target Language Proficiency – ARABIC (MSA)/IRAQI/MOROCCAN - (Pass/Fail)

ARABIC (MSA) - If the Government receives evidence that the proposed instructor is a native speaker, or, the proposed instructor obtained target language proficiency through formal education (courses completed at an institution of higher learning taught in the TL), or TL language proficiency certification, or has used the TL in a work environment where the TL was the primary means of communication, the proposed instructor shall receive a pass under this sub-factor. Only those quotes that meet these requirements will be evaluated further.

IRAQI - If the Government receives evidence that the proposed instructor is a native speaker, or, the proposed instructor obtained target language proficiency through formal education (courses completed at an institution of higher learning taught in the TL), or TL language proficiency certification, or has used the TL in a work environment where the TL was the primary means of communication, the proposed instructor shall receive a pass under this sub-factor. Only those quotes that meet these requirements will be evaluated further.

MOROCCAN - If the Government receives evidence that the proposed instructor is a native speaker, or, the proposed instructor obtained target language proficiency through formal education (courses completed at an institution of higher learning taught in the TL), or TL language proficiency certification, or has used the TL in a work environment where the TL was the primary means of communication, the proposed instructor shall receive a pass under this sub-factor. Only those quotes that meet these requirements will be evaluated further.

2.1.2 Pass/Fail-Sub-Factor 2, Working Knowledge of English. (Pass/Fail)

If the Government receives evidence that the proposed instructor’s English language skills are sufficient to fulfill the teaching requirements of this contract, the proposed instructor shall receive a pass under this sub-factor.

Evidence shall consist of proof that the proposed instructor is either as native speaker, or, he/she has obtained English language proficiency through formal education (courses completed at an institution of higher learning taught in English and requiring participation in English, e.g. term papers), or English language proficiency certification, or has used English in a work environment where English was the primary means of communication.

Only those quotes that meet these requirements will be evaluated further.

2.2. Factor 2, Formal Education.

The Government will evaluate the level and relevancy of the proposed instructor’s educational qualifications (i.e., MA in teaching the Target Language to foreigners, etc.).

2.3 Factor 3, Experience.

2.3.1 Sub-Factor 1. Teaching Experience.

The Government will evaluate the depth, recency, and relevancy of the proposed instructor’s experience as compared to the services required by this solicitation. Relevant experience includes 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 (e.g., teaching the Target Language at a government institution in a formal setting to multinational adult learners for extended periods of time/contact hours).

2.3.2 Sub-Factor 2. Development of Instructional or Test Material.

The Government will evaluate the extent to which the proposed instructor has developed relevant instructional or test materials.

2.3.3 Sub-Factor 3. Life and Work Experience in Target Language Country.

The Government will evaluate the extent of life and work experience the proposed instructor spent as an adult (after age 18) in the TL country.

2.4 Factor 4, Past Performance.

The Government will evaluate the recency, relevancy, and quality of the proposed instructor’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 instructor’s past performance will be used to evaluate how well he/she has performed similar services in the past. Quotes 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 quoters (e.g., official performance reviews/appraisals, letters of recommendation) and data obtained independently.

2.5 Factor 5, Price.

All prices, including option years, will be evaluated for reasonableness and in accordance with FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers (FEB 2000), as applicable, except for the travel Contract Line Items (CLINS) 0003, 1003, 2003, 3003 and 4003.

The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
