52.212-2 EVALUATION- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

PROPOSAL EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

a. The Government will award a firmed-fixed price contract IAW FAR 12 and 13.503, 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 criteria are listed in descending order of importance and will be used to evaluate the offers:

Technical Capability and Approach

(to include a Staffing Plan and Quality Control Plan)

2) Past Performance

3) Price

Technical capability and approach, and past performance, when combined are more important than price. The Government may consider making an award to other than the lowest priced Offer. As the technical ratings for the proposals approach equality, price becomes more important in the award decision. The Government will make an award to the offeror whose proposal provides the best overall value to the Government.

Technical Capabilities and Appoach- The Government will evaluate how the vendor proposes to conduct the work required in the Performance Work Statement to include the understanding of the requirements and the ability to provide the required services to include the staffing plan. Additionally, the Government will evaluate the demonstrated prior experiences including corporate involvement, management of personnel, staffing policies and the quality control information.

NOTE: Although the entire response to the proposal will be considered, emphasis will be placed on Section 2.0 of the PWS and each specific tasks (2.1 – 2.29), Government evaluators will look for a clear understanding of the work, including creativity and thoroughness shown in understanding the objectives of the PWS and specific tasks and planned execution. Additionally, they will target the quality and effectiveness of the allocation of personnel and resources in the staffing plan.

Past Performance- The Government will evaluate each vendor's past performance of contracts which are determined to be similar in size and scope over the prior three (3) years from the date of the RFP. In performing this evaluation, the government will consider the Vendor's past performance information provided by the vendor (up to 3) and may consider information obtained from other sources. If no relevant past performance information is received, past performance will be rated as neutral.

Price - The Government anticipates adequate price competition and therefore, will conduct price analysis to determine the total price fair and reasonable.

The Government will validate that any information provided in other parts of the proposal is consistent with the information provided in the price proposal. Any inconsistencies will be noted and may adversely affect the proposal evaluation.

BASIS FOR AWARD

This is a best value procurement. The Government will make an award to the Vendor whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, price and other criteria considered. The Government may consider making an award to other than the lowest priced Offer. As the technical ratings for the proposals approach equality, price becomes more important in the award decision. The Government will make an award to the offeror whose proposal provides the best overall value to the Government. Award may be made on the basis of initial proposals without communication. Vendors are therefore, cautioned that each initial proposal should contain the Vendor’s best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct communications/negotiations.

The deadline for submission of questions is 2:00 p.m. on September 2, 2014. All questions shall be submitted in writing to Contract specialist, Jaime Morrison via email at Jaime.Morrison @ ice.dhs.gov the Contracting Officer Linda Morrill, Linda.M. Morrill@ice.dhs.gov" Linda.M. Morrill@ice.dhs.gov

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.
