The contractor must cite 52.209-9 and request removal within 7 calendar days of the posting to FAPIIS.

(2) The Contractor will also have an opportunity to post comments regarding information that has been posted by the Government. The comments will be retained as long as the associated information is retained, i.e., for a total period of 6 years. Contractor comments will remain a part of the record unless the Contractor revises them.

(3) As required by section 3010 of Pub. L. 111-212, all information posted in FAPIIS on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews, will be publicly available.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (FEB 2012)

A. General Instructions.

1. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

1.1. The Government shall not conduct a pre-proposal conference for this solicitation.

2. The response shall consist of three (3) separate volumes: Part I – Technical Capability; Part II – Past Performance; and Part III – Price Proposal and Contract Documentation. To the greatest extent possible, each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal. Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity. The Government requires a minimum of 90 calendar days for acceptance of offers submitted in response to this solicitation.

3. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness of the price.

3.1. Formal communications, such as requests for clarification, questions and/or written information concerning this solicitation will be accepted only in writing. Submit to:

USTRANSCOM/TCAQ-R

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

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

(a) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

(2) PAST PERFORMANCE

(3) COST/PRICE

This acquisition will be awarded in accordance with the FAR, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and United States Transportation Command Acquisition Regulation Supplement (TRANSFARS). The source selection will result in the selection of an offeror who represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. The results of the Government’s best value decision will be documented in a best value document and briefed to the Source Selection Authority (SSA) for final approval.

The Government intends to use a best-value source selection approach to award up to six (6) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, as a result of the solicitation. Contracts will be awarded to offerors who are responsive, responsible, and represent the best value to the Government considering technical approach, past performance, and price. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award up to six (6) contracts without discussions. Therefore, the offerors are advised that their initial offer should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if necessary.

Evaluation Factors and Subfactors

The Government intends to award up to six (6) contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Factor 1 – Technical Capability.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical capability to ensure the offeror’s proposal details a realistic approach to successfully accomplishing the tasks as detailed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Paragraph 1.3.

Measure of Merit. The measure of merit for this factor is met when the offeror meets the Government’s minimum standard. This is achieved when the offeror submits a realistic approach for successfully accomplishing the PWS tasks. The offeror’s plan will be rated in accordance with the measure of merit and Acceptable (Pass) or Unacceptable (Fail) ratings shown below.

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal meets the Government’s minimum requirements.

Unacceptable Proposal fails to meet the Government’s minimum requirements.

All technically unacceptable offers will be removed from any further consideration for award.

Factor 2 – Past Performance

Using past performance questionnaires submitted by the offerors Point of Contacts (POCs) and other information independently obtained from Government or commercial sources (i.e. Past Performance Information Retrieval System, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, Questionnaires tailored to the circumstances for this acquisition, through Defense Contract Management Agency channels, or through interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officer Representatives and Contracting Officers), the Government will perform a confidence assessment on each offeror that submits an acceptable technical proposal. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offerors’ ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offerors’ demonstrated past performance. Past Performance questionnaires will be evaluated on the basis of recency and relevancy. The Government will first evaluate the recency (current within the last three years) and then the relevancy. Past performance information submitted which exceeds the three (3) year limitation will not be considered.

The Government will perform an independent assessment of relevancy of the data provided or obtained.

The Government may deem demonstrated performance more relevant on past performance whereby the offeror performed as the prime. In addition, relevancy will take into consideration DOD experience. The relevancy of each contract reference will be considered in the overall confidence assessment rating for the offeror. The following ratings will be used in evaluating the relevancy of the offerors’ past performance:

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.

Past Performance will be evaluated as a measure of the Government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to successfully perform based on previous and current contracts. One of the following confidence assessment ratings will be assigned to each offeror:

Substantial Confidence. Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence. Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence. Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence. Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral). No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offerors performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Offerors with no recent relevant past or present performance history shall receive an Unknown Confidence meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this Request For Proposal (RFP).

Factor 3 – Cost/Price

Price/Cost will be evaluated but not rated. The terms of the Association of American Railroads’ Field and Office Manuals of the Interchange Rules shall govern the ability to charge and the manner of calculating the Contractor’s charges.

Offerors will be evaluated based on the percentage of the AAR Office Manual prices that it shall charge for labor and for those materials priced in the Office Manual. For example, an offer of 100% means the offer is the prices as listed in the Office Manual, an offer of 80% means the offer is prices 20% less than those in the Office Manual, and an offer of 120% means the offer is prices 20% greater than those in the Office Manual. Offerors may propose different percentages for labor and for materials, different percentages for different locations, and different labor percentages for tank cars and for cars other than tank cars.
