SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

mailto:Monica.F.Hurui.civ@mail.mil

The following have been modified:

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1 Evaluation and Source Selection Process

The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Vendor whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors. The four (4) evaluation factors are: 1) Past

Performance 2) Technical Capability 3) Price and 4) Small Business Subcontracting Plan. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Technical Capability and Small Business

Subcontracting Plan Factors.

Vendors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the Vendor who provides the lowest price quote. The Government is more concerned with obtaining a superior quality Past Performance of relevant contracts with similar scope, size and complexity than with making an award at the lowest overall price to the Government.

However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to the Government to achieve a slightly superior past performance.

M.2 Evaluation Criteria

The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

a. Factor 1: Past Performance

b. Factor 2: Technical

c. Factor 3: Price

d. Factor 4: Small Business Subcontracting Plan

M.2.1. Price Evaluation. Initially, quotes shall be ranked according to price, lowest to highest, including any option prices. A quoter’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to confirm the extended amount for each. The price evaluation will be documented for the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price for the quotes that have received an Acceptable rating from the Technical Capabilities evaluation and received a Substantial

Confidence rating from the Past Performance evaluation as described below in M.2.2. and M.2.3. respectfully.

M.2.2. Technical Acceptability. The Government technical evaluation team (TET) shall evaluate the Technical

Capability volume submitted by the lowest priced quoter on a pass/fail basis, assigning a rating of Acceptable or

Unacceptable. If the vendor’s quote is determined acceptable, the TET will then evaluate the vendor’s Past

Performance as described below in M.3.

M.2.3. Performance Confidence Assessment. Using the references provided, the CO shall seek relevant performance information on the lowest priced quoter, if found Acceptable under M.2.2., based on (1) the past and present efforts provided by the quoter and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced quoter if the lowest priced quoter does not receive a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment. If the lowest priced evaluated technically

Acceptable quote is determined to have a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment, that quote represents the best value for the government and the evaluation team will only evaluate further quotes for the purpose of determining adequate price competition to determine prices fair and reasonable. The evaluation process then stops at this point. Award shall be made to that lowest priced quoter without further consideration of any other quotes.

M.2.3.1. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving Leadership Development Programs that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the quoter’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFQ, based on the quoter’s demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal quoter. Vendors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

M.3 Factor 1 – Past Performance

The Government is seeking to determine how well the Vendor has performed in the execution and completion of

Contracts of similar size, scope and complexity to those identified in the solicitation. The Past Performance Factor will assess the extent to which the Vendor’s past performance reflects knowledge, technical and project managerial proficiency. The Government will conduct a past performance assessment based on the quality, relevancy and confidence of the Vendor's past performance, as well as that of its major subcontractors, as it relates to the probability of successful accomplishment of the required effort.

The Government will evaluate Past Performance using the information submitted in the Past Performance

References required in Section L.2 Factor 1. Past Performance. The Government will assess the extent to which the

Vendor’s past performance reflects effective methods to control schedule and cost to meet all project objectives in their past performance. The extent of satisfaction of end users with contract deliverables and overall Vendor’s service as well as business-like concerns for Government’s interest will also be evaluated. Also evaluated will be the record of compliance with previous contract requirements, accuracy and timeliness of reports, technical excellence, and quality awards/certificates. The extent to which past performance reflects good operational support, reliability, and responsiveness to technical direction, initiative, and adequacy of resources will be evaluated. The

Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a Vendor's likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that Vendor's record of past performance. Past performance information on work for State and local governments, private sector clients, and subcontractors that is similar to the Government requirement will be evaluated equally with similar Federal contracts.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the

Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Vendor Performance Assessment Reporting

System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Vendor’s quote, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract

Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Vendor.

M.3.1. Ratings. Factor 1 (Past Performance) will be evaluated using the following ratings in Table 1 and 2 below.

Table 1 provides rating definitions concerning the relevancy of past performance information. Table 2 provides rating definitions reflecting the quality and usefulness of the past performance information.

Table 1

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition

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.

Table 2

Rating Description

Substantial Confidence

Based on the Vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the

Vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

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

Limited Confidence record, the Government has a low expectation that the

Vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence record, the Government has no expectation that the

Vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the

Vendor’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

M.4 Factor 2: Technical

a. The delivery schedule requirement will be assessed on a go / no go basis. If the quote demonstrates it will meet the delivery schedule requirements, it will receive a “go” and be rated technically acceptable. If it does not meet the requirement, it will not be evaluated any further and rated technically unacceptable.

b. The 13 elements requirement will be assessed on a go / no go basis. If the quote demonstrates it meets the

13 elements requirement, it will receive a “go” and be rated technically acceptable. If it does not meet the requirement, it will not be evaluated any further and rated technically unacceptable.

c. The key personnel requirement will be assessed on a go / no go basis based on resumes submitted. If the quote demonstrates it will meet the key personnel requirement, it will receive a “go” and be rated technically acceptable. If it does not meet the requirement, it will not be evaluated any further and rated technically unacceptable.

Technical Rating

Acceptable Quote clearly demonstrates it meets all technical requirements

Unacceptable Does not meet all technical requirements

M.5 Factor 3: Price

The price proposed will be evaluated for fair and reasonable, but not rated or scored.

For evaluation purposes only, the Government will add the proposed pricing for CLIN 0001 at a MAX QTY of 1, CLIN 0002 at a QTY of 10, CLIN 0003 at a QTY of 5, CLIN 0004 at a MAX QTY of 4, and CLIN 0005 at a MAX

QTY of 1 to assist in the determination of fair and reasonable pricing ONLY.

Failure to provide detailed pricing may be grounds for quote nonconformance. While price will not be scored, it will be evaluated for price reasonableness. Additionally, a determination will be made if there is any significant performance risk to the Government because of unrealistically low or high prices. If Price information is included in any volume other than Price, that volume may not be evaluated.

M.6 Factor 4: Small Business Subcontracting Plan

The Vendor’s Comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be evaluated against the DoD Small

Business goals as defined in Section L. Small Business Vendors submitting as a Prime Contractor for this

Solicitation will automatically be considered acceptable for this factors. The Vendor will be evaluated on the extent of participation of Small Business concerns in performance of this contract opportunity. Factor 4 will be evaluated as follows using an Acceptable/Unacceptable rating:

1) If proposed percentages/dollars meet the DoD goals, then an acceptable rating will be given.

2) If proposed percentages/dollars do not meet the DoD Goals, the Offer shall include an explanation describing why and what actions are being taken to increase the percentage/dollars. If the Vendor provides a valid justification and adequately describes the actions being taken to increase percentage/dollars, then an acceptable rating will be given.

3) If proposed percentages/dollars do not meet the DoD Goals and the Vendor does not provide a valid explanation as to why or describe actions being taken to increase percentage/dollars, then an unacceptable rating will be given.

Small Business Subcontracting Plan Rating

Acceptable Quote Meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote Does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
