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 that 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 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.”

Paragraph (h) entitled “Multiple awards” is tailored to read: “The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers may not be submitted for quantities differing from those specified. The

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.

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.

mailto:thomas.m.fee2.civ@mail.mil mailto:emmanuel.d.hardrick.civ@mail.mil mailto:kenneth.a.smith439.civ@mail.mil

Following the closing date, proposals will receive a randomized number. In order of ascending rank (lowest to highest), 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 provide sufficient detail identifying how the Offeror intends to 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.

Following the technical evaluation, all technically acceptable offers shall be ranked in order of lowest to highest

Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Beginning with the technically acceptable offer with the lowest 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 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 unable to be found responsible, the technically acceptable offer with the next lowest 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 offer 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 or no offer was found to be technically acceptable or compliant, 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 unless it is in the Government’s best interest not to award a contract.

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 requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Technical Proposal. To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must provide a Technical Proposal which clearly describes how the offeror will achieve the objectives of Performance Work Statement as defined by the minimum requirements below. Specifically, the Government will evaluate the following minimum requirements in its rating of the Technical Proposal:

A. Offeror demonstrates knowledge of the types of equipment necessary to handle multiple classes of supply and the ability to access all such equipment as necessary to conduct operations within established timeframes.

B. Offeror demonstrates the ability to conduct operations in accordance with the applicable safety standards and regulations by describing details of its formal safety program.

C. Offeror demonstrates the capabilities to successfully conduct stevedoring & related terminal services without damage and in accordance with stow plans, to include:

loading and discharging of cargo from vessels (LOLO, RORO & TOTO) receipt and disposition of cargo inland transportation of cargo to/from sea terminals & inland origination/destination container and yard management and staging cargo cleaning and rinsing services prevention of detention, demurrage and excess port storage charges handling loss and damage reporting in a timely manner in accordance with Transportation

Discrepancy Report procedures

D. Offeror demonstrates the capability to maintain accountability and tracking of all DTS cargo offered for shipment with minimal discrepancies.

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

Offerors should limit their technical proposal to addressing the specific minimum requirements listed above.

Sections of the submitted technical proposal addressing elements of the PWS not listed above will not be considered in the overall rating. If any of the above is rated as Unacceptable, the entire Technical Proposal will be rated as

Unacceptable.

2. Factor II: Price.

The Offeror shall complete and submit the Schedule of Rates, Attachment 2 as its price proposal. The price proposal shall be submitted as an attachment to an email and contain no hidden formulas or external links. The

Government utilizes the Schedule of Rates Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet to capture pricing and to calculate the Total

Evaluated Price (TEP) for evaluation and award purposes. The TEP is calculated using the rates proposed in all highlighted cells where proposed unit pricing is required, for the base and all option periods, to include a 6 month extension of services. Escalation that will apply to the out-years shall be entered on the Summary sheet in the appropriate cells. 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, 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 reserves the right to clarify aspects of the proposals and hold discussions, as allowable under FAR Part 15 procedures.
