52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(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:

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Quotes will be evaluated independently, using the following factors on an acceptable or unacceptable basis:

1. Technical Capability

2. Past Performance

3. Price

EVALUATION MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

1. Technical Capability: A quote will be evaluated as technically acceptable if it satisfies the Government’s minimum requirements described in the Statement of Work (SOW) and elsewhere in this solicitation, and based on evidence in the quote of the quoter’s technical approach, personnel/staffing, facilities, equipment, and understanding of the requirements.

2. Past Performance: Quoters will be rated on timeliness, quality of work, and business relations. Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown. In evaluating past performance, the Government will use various sources of information, including, but not limited to federal, state and local government agencies, Better Business Bureaus, published media, electronic databases (CPARS/PPIRS), and/or the offeror’s performance on DeCA contracts. The evaluation of past performance will consider relevant facts and circumstances. The Government will evaluate past performance as an indicator of future performance. Past performance will be evaluated as either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” If the business does not have a record of relevant past performance, the Government will rate past performance neither favorably nor unfavorably. A neutral rating will be considered as “Acceptable.”

3. Price: Price will be evaluated by adding the base and all option years to determine the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for the location. The total evaluated price must be determined fair and reasonable in order to be determined acceptable for award. The contract specialist will evaluate all quotes. Quotes will not be discussed or released to anyone not directly involved in the source selection for this acquisition.

EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

Specifically, the evaluation process shall proceed as follows: First, the quotes will be ranked in price order from lowest to highest based on the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The lowest ranked TEP quoter will then be technically evaluated and given a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. If acceptable, the quoter’s past performance will then be evaluated and given a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. A quoter with no past performance will be rated as neutral-acceptable.

If the lowest ranked quoter’s past performance is rated as acceptable or neutral-acceptable, the Government will then evaluate pricing to determine fair and reasonableness using one or more of the techniques contained in FAR sub-part 13.106-3. If the lowest ranked TEP quote is judged to have acceptable technical capability, past performance and fair and reasonable pricing, the Government will complete a responsibility determination in accordance with the criteria specified in FAR 9.104-1. If found responsible, the evaluation process stops at this point as that offer is the lowest priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) quote that represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quotes.

If the lowest rated quoter’s technical capability or past performance is assigned an unacceptable rating, or if the price is determined not fair and reasonable, or if the quoter is found to be non-responsible, the next lowest ranked TEP quote will be evaluated. This process will continue (in order of ascending (TEP) until a quoter is judged to have an acceptable technical capability rating, acceptable past performance, fair and reasonable pricing, and is deemed responsible.

The evaluation of past performance will be an assessment based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. The Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a genuine concern by performing quality services on time, with concern for the customer's satisfaction. The evaluator will use any information available, such as the Government-wide Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at www.cpars.gov . If adverse information is obtained, that was not previously communicated; the quoter will be provided an opportunity to respond.

The alternate proposal must be submitted as a totally separate document from the primary proposal. The alternate proposal must satisfy all of the submission requirements of the primary proposal and be clearly marked as an alternate proposal. Pricing for the alternate proposal will be evaluated in the same manner as the primary proposal.

If an offeror proposes a different pickup frequency in their alternate proposal, the government will evaluate price based on the number of pickups proposed per week and multiplying that number by 52 weeks.

(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.

(End of provision)

The following have been modified:

Addendum to 52.212-1 – Instructions to Offerors

Required documents must be submitted via email to Christina.ellison@deca.mil and Diana.gross-bendall@deca.mil.

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code applicable to this solicitation is 812332 and the Size Standard is $47,000,000.

Per FAR 4.1201(a): Prospective contractors SHALL complete electronic annual representations and certifications (Reps & Certs) at https://www.sam.gov database. Your Reps and Certs must include the NAICS applicable to this solicitation and indicate your organization’s business size status.

Since the size standard is based on average annual gross revenue, the method for calculating the average annual receipts to determine business size status is found in 13 CFR 121.104.

Organizations whose average annual gross revenues exceed the size standard of this solicitation are considered large businesses. Additional information on size standards can be found on the Small Business Administration’s Size Standards webpage at https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-guide/size-standards.

52.212-1(b):

Quoter shall submit signed copy of the following documents via email to: Diana.Gross- Bendall@deca.mil and Christina.ellison@deca.mil by the closing date and time of this solicitation.

(1) Standard Form 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial items, page 1, Blocks 17a, 17b, 30a, 30b, 30c completed and signed by an authorized representative on behalf of the quoter. Discount terms, if any, in Block 12.

(2) A completed Schedule of Supplies/Services starting on page #3, to include total price (NET AMT) for all CLINs, in addition to a completed Attachment 1 - Pricing Sheet and Linen Listing Spreadsheet with pricing for the base and all four option periods, for every item listed, for the location(s) on which you are submitting an offer.

Contractor must provide pricing for every item listed on the linen attachment, even if the estimated quantity is zero. Although the commissary does not have a current requirement for those items, the prices entered for those items will be effective for any future requirements or quantity increases. However, un-balanced pricing WILL NOT be allowed.

SUBMIT Pricing Spreadsheet in both “excel” and PDF. DO NOT change or manipulate formulas on the excel spreadsheets.

NOTE: Where the quantity is zero each; a multiplier of one (1) will be used for evaluation purposes only. This will be multiplied by maximum number of pickups authorized per week of 1 times 52 weeks. This will be done for each performance period of 12 consecutive months. This will become the offeror’s total evaluated price for that location. Example: Blue Bib Aprons – 0 quantity x $0.00 would be converted to Blue Bib Aprons – 1 x $0.33 = $.33. This is to ensure there is no unbalanced pricing. All individual pricing will be evaluated for cost realism. Un-balanced pricing will not be allowed. All other quantities will be evaluated on the quantities given as the estimated usage quantity per week.

a. Weekly environmental fee, if applicable, is entered on Line Number 16.

b. Energy Surcharge percentage (if applicable for period of high-energy costs) is entered on Line Number 19. The percentage rate will be applicable to the rental total for the week.

c. Weekly lost/damage fee percentage is entered on Line Number 20. This fee will fund replacement costs for items lost or damaged by commissary personnel. The rate will be applied to the total rental fee, exclusive of the environmental fee and energy surcharge, if applicable. The fee will eliminate the need for billing for individual items and reconciliation of reasonable lost/damaged items at the end of the contract period(s).

d. If no pricing is entered for Lines a, b and c above; it will be assumed the item or service is provided at no charge. No changes will be made to these costs after contract is awarded. These fees will be evaluated as part of the total cost for award purposes.

e. Pricing spreadsheet is provided in excel format with formulas to total weekly and annual costs. Any errors in the formulas for extended pricing will be verified and corrected upon evaluation of errors.

(3) Submit the following information:

(a) Unique Entity ID (UEI): _______________________________

(b) Contractor E-Mail Address: ____________________________

(4) Provide a statement of certification that the quoter understands and satisfies the Government’s minimum requirements described in the Statement of Work and elsewhere in this solicitation, and has submitted evidence in the quote of the quoter’s technical approach, personnel/staffing, facilities, equipment, and understanding of the requirements in regards to linen services in accordance with best industry practices. A narrative outlining the quoter’s approach to completing the work to include any subcontractors that will be utilized.

(5) Past Performance information required:

DeCA will consider any past performance information available to the Government such as CPARS (formerly PPIRS) or other databases.

52.212-1(c):

The Government requires a minimum acceptance period of 90 calendar days in lieu of the 30 calendar days as specified in FAR 52.212-1(c), Period of Acceptance of Quotes. The

Government will not award a contract to a quoter allowing less than the Government’s minimum acceptance period.
