(a) The offeror shall submit past performance references for no more than three of the most relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers within the last three years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. However, the Government is not limited to only the three past performance submissions submitted by the offeror; the Government may consider any past performance information of which it has knowledge. For each Past Performance Questionnaire you expect to be submitted, complete a Contract Information Sheet (RFP Attachment 4) and submit with your proposal [MUST INCLUDE A COPY OF THE PWS OR RELEVANT EXCERPTS]. No past performance narrative is requested/required. Any narrative submitted will be removed from the proposal and will not be considered.

b. First time joint venture. In lieu of the number of questionnaires identified in paragraph (a) above, each party to the arrangement shall submit one to two questionnaires for their most relevant contracts within the last three years.

If more than two questionnaires are received from the Joint Venture or any one party, the government will only evaluate the first two that are received.

(2) If a subcontractor will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including specific details on which requirements of the Performance Work Statement the subcontractor will be performing. In lieu of the number of questionnaires identified in paragraph (a) above, the offeror shall submit one to two questionnaires for their most relevant contracts within the last three years and one to two questionnaires for each subcontractor performing major or critical aspects of the work.

If more than two questionnaires are received from any one party, the Government will only evaluate the first two that are received.

(c) Subcontractor Consent (if applicable). Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. If past performance for subcontractors is submitted, the offeror shall provide a letter from its subcontractor(s) consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor.

2. Paragraph (c) of FAR 52.212-1 entitled “Period for acceptance of offers” is tailored to read:

“The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 220 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.”

3. Paragraph (e) of FAR 52.212-1 entitled “Multiple Offers” is tailored to read: “The Government will not consider multiple offers presenting alternate terms and conditions for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.”

4. Paragraph (g) of FAR 52.212-1entitled “Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids)” is tailored to read: “The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.”

5. Paragraph (h) of FAR 52.212-1 entitled “Multiple awards” is tailored to read: “The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.

The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit price offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.”

(End of Addendum)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items (Oct 2014) FAR 52.212-2 is amended in its entirety as follows:

(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:

(1) Technical Proposal- Staffing (Acceptable/Unacceptable)

(2) Price Proposal

(3) Past Performance Proposal Basis for contract award -This is a competitive best value source selection. The Government will use FAR 15.3, Source Selection, and Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures (31 Mar 2016) to evaluate offers and determine the best value. The Government will conduct a Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) source selection in which competing offeror’s past performance will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than price considerations.

By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Award will be made to the offeror who submits an acceptable technical proposal and is determined, based on their past performance and total evaluated price, to represent the best value to the Government.

This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the superior past performance of the higher priced offeror outweighs the cost difference. However, the Government will not pay a price premium that it considers to be disproportionate to the benefits associated with the proposed margin of service superiority.

The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending on the quality of the proposals submitted and availability of funds. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a single contract without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined by the Contracting Officer to by necessary. The Contracting Officer may limit the competitive range for purposes of efficiency. To arrive at a source selection decision, the SSA will perform an integrated assessment of all offers received as described below.

(b) Specifically, the evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

(1) Proposals will be checked for proposal compliance in accordance with the Proposal Preparation Instructions in the 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.

(2) Technical Proposal. Following the closing date, all technical proposals will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable/Unacceptable as defined below.

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation.

Proposals with “Unacceptable” technical rating will not be considered for award.

(A) Staffing. To be rated “Acceptable”, the offeror’s staffing approach must demonstrate adequate staffing and sufficient management to support the requirements identified in the PWS, Paragraph 1., Description of Services, including all subparagraphs.

(3) Price Proposal. Following the technical evaluation, all technically acceptable offers shall be ranked in order of lowest to highest Total Proposed Price (TPP). In order to determine the TPP for evaluation and award purposes, the Government will first multiply the quantities identified in the Schedule by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number or Subcontract Line Item Number to confirm the extended amount for each. The summation of the extended prices for the base period, all options and award options, and the 6-month extension will constitute the TPP. For purposes of the TPP, the prices for the 6-month extension will be at option period four prices. The Government will then evaluate the TPP to determine the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) by the following:

Completeness: All information required by the solicitation has been submitted and is accurate.

Fair and Reasonable: The Government will conduct a price analysis to determine whether the TEP is fair and reasonable using one or more techniques set forth in FAR 15.404- 1(b)(2).

(4) Past Performance Proposal. First, the Government will evaluate the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer’s past performance. Using the Past Performance questionnaires submitted by the offeror’s references, and other information independently obtained from Government or commercial sources (i.e. Past Performance Information Retrieval System, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, electronic Subcontracting

Reporting System (eSRS), or through interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officer Representatives, and Contracting Officers), the Government will assign an overall confidence assessment for each offeror. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. Each Past Performance effort will be evaluated on the basis of recency, relevancy, and quality of past performance.

The Government will begin its evaluation by first determining the recency and then the relevancy of each past performance effort. To be considered a recent effort, the effort must be currently ongoing or have been performed within the last three years from the date of issuance of this solicitation.

The Government will perform an independent assessment of relevancy of the data provided or obtained. The relevancy of each contract reference will be considered in the overall confidence assessment rating for the offeror. The following ratings will be utilized in evaluating the relevancy of each past performance effort:

Adjectival Rating Description 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.

After the Government has determined the recency, relevancy, and quality of each past performance effort being evaluated, one of the following overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment ratings will be assigned to each offeror using the following definitions:

Adjectival Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

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

Satisfactory Confidence

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

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

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

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

The SSA may determine a Substantial Confidence or Satisfactory Confidence past performance rating is worth more than a Neutral Confidence past performance rating in a best value tradeoff.

In evaluating past performance, the Government will give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP. Those efforts include, but are not limited to, managing/disseminating mission information, ensuring readiness of terminal resources required to receive, document, plan, and move passengers/cargo/mail; ensuring maximum aircraft utilization and on-time aircraft departure reliability; handling/processing/manifesting passengers, baggage, and cargo, and loading/unloading aircraft.

Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information in the format specified in FAR 52.212-1.

Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

Past performance of the prime offeror will be considered more highly in assigning the overall past performance confidence assessment than that of subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement.

(A) If the lowest priced, technically acceptable evaluated offer is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

(B) In the event that the Government does not make an award pursuant to paragraph (A) above, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order of price) until an offeror is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment or until all offerors are judged. The SSA shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision of all “evaluated” offers.

(c) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all option years and award option years 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).

Should the Government extend the contract pursuant to FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, such extension shall be at the monthly prices offered for the last option period to determine the price for a 6-month option period.

(d) 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.
