SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014):

Paragraphs (d) and (e) are added to read as follows:

(d) Basis for contract award - This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part’s 12, Acquisition of Commercial

Items, Subpart 12.6 and Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Offers will be evaluated using the factors identified in FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial items and this Addendum.

Noncompliance may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Award will be made on the basis of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process, IAW FAR 15.101-2. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to

Offerors, and the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, the offeror agrees to the terms of this solicitation.

Specifically, the evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

First, proposals will be checked for compliance with the Proposal Preparation Instructions in Addendum to FAR

52.212-1(b). Failure to materially comply with all Proposal Preparation Instructions will result in the proposal being found noncompliant with the solicitation. Noncompliance may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from evaluation and consideration for contract award.

Next, the proposals will be ranked in price order from lowest to highest based on the total evaluated price (TEP) as calculated in Attachment 2, Schedule of Rates. In turn, all Technical proposals will be evaluated and receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order to be rated as Acceptable, the Technical proposal must meet the

Government's minimum requirements as stated in paragraph (d)(1) below. Proposals deemed Unacceptable are those that fail to meet the Government's minimum requirements.

Beginning with the technically acceptable offer with the lowest ranked TEP, the Government will then evaluate pricing as proposed in Attachment 2, Schedule of Rates Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet to determine fair and reasonableness using one or more techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). Additionally, IAW FAR 15.404-1(g), the Government will review the proposed prices to determine if unbalanced pricing exists. If proposed prices are unbalanced, this will be noted and the risk to the Government will be considered in making the source selection decision. IAW FAR 15.404-1(g)(3), if the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government, the offer may be rejected and not considered further for award. If it is determined the technically acceptable offer with the lowest ranked TEP has fair and reasonable prices and balanced pricing (or if unbalanced pricing exists that it does not pose an unacceptable risk), the Government will complete a responsibility determination IAW the criteria specified in FAR 9.104-1. Each offeror’s Corporate Experience Information will be considered in the Government’s responsibility determination IAW the standards specified in FAR 9.104-1. If found responsible, the evaluation process stops at this point as that offer represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

If the technically acceptable offer with the lowest ranked TEP is determined not to have fair and reasonable prices, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government or if the offeror is found to be non-responsible, the technically acceptable offer with the next lowest ranked TEP will be evaluated in accordance with the paragraph above. This process will continue for any technically acceptable offers in order of ascending TEP until an offeror is judged to have an acceptable technical rating, fair and reasonable prices, balanced pricing (of if unbalanced pricing exists that it does not pose an unacceptable risk) and the offeror is deemed responsible; or until all technically acceptable offers have been evaluated.

If all technically acceptable offers are not awardable based on the initial evaluation process above, the Source

Selection Authority (SSA) will determine whether it is in the Government's best interest to enter into discussions. If the SSA determines to enter into discussions, a competitive range will be established IAW FAR 15.306(c). The source selection team will complete the discussion process, request final proposal revisions, and document final evaluation results IAW DOD Source selection procedures for those offerors determined to be within the competitive range. After the evaluation of the final proposal revisions, the SSA will make a selection of the best-value proposal consistent with the stated evaluation criteria.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Factor I: Technical. Each offeror’s Technical Proposal will be evaluated as Acceptable or Unacceptable as defined below.

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Proposal meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Technical Approach. To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must provide a Technical Approach which clearly describes how the offeror will achieve the objectives of the PWS. Specifically, the Government will evaluate the following minimum requirements in its rating of the Technical Approach:

A. The approach demonstrates the offeror’s ability to access all equipment necessary to conduct operations and the ability to handle multiple classes of supply.

B. The approach demonstrates the ability to conduct operations in accordance with the applicable safety standards and regulations utilizing a formal safety program.

C. The approach demonstrates the offeror’s capabilities to successfully conduct vessel cargo operations without damage and in accordance with stow plans, to include:

Planning

Vessel Loading

Vessel Discharging

Receipt of Cargo/Unloading of Trucks

Disposition of Cargo/Loading Trucks

Stuffing/Unstuffing of Cargo

Intra-Terminal Transfer of Cargo

Inland Transportation/Onward Movement of Cargo

Management Expertise

Customs Clearance

Tally and Check

Berthing Facilities

In-Stow Inspections

Prevention of detention, demurrage and excess port storage charges

Handling loss and damage reporting in a timely manner

D. The approach demonstrates the offeror’s capability to maintain accountability and tracking of all DTS cargo offered for shipment with minimal discrepancies.

E. The approach demonstrates the capability to perform customs clearance and related services.

If any of the above is rated as Unacceptable, the entire Technical Proposal will be rated as Unacceptable.

2. Factor II: Price.

Completion of the pricing schedule will require the user to have good working knowledge of the Microsoft Excel program. The Offeror shall complete and submit the Schedule of Rates, Attachment 2. The price proposal shall be submitted as an attachment to an email and contain no hidden formulas or external links. The Government will utilize the Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet to capture pricing and to calculate the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for evaluation and award purposes. Thus, the total TEP is calculated using the rates proposed in all cells where proposed unit pricing is required, for the base and all option periods, to include a 6 month extension of services.

The summation of the base, all option years, and the six month extension of services will constitute the TEP. Failure to input a unit price in any highlighted cell shall be construed as the offeror’s intention to propose a price of zero (0).

However, the Offeror may be considered ineligible for award if all required pricing is not complete.

In order to be considered for award, price must be determined fair and reasonable and balanced (or if unbalanced pricing exists that it does not pose an unacceptable risk to the Government). The data contained in the price proposal shall be utilized by the Government to analyze Offeror’s pricing using one or more techniques set forth in

FAR 15.404-1(b)(2) and determining if unbalanced pricing exists IAW FAR 15.404-1(g). Upon contract award, this data will form the basis for any price adjustments pursuant to the Revision of Prices clause, DFARS 252.247-7002, and, as such, must provide the means of determining the application of any requested adjustments and calculating the revised unit prices.

(e) The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending on the quality of the proposals submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a single IDIQ contract without discussions. Therefore, the offerors are advised that their initial offer should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. The Government does reserve the right to clarify aspects of the proposals and hold discussions, as allowable under FAR Part 15 procedures.
