SSES
Elements of the proposal that have exceeded mandatory minimums (in ways that are not integral to the requirement) whose removal and corresponding price decrease may make an offeror's proposal more competitive.
EVALUATION FACTOR 2: Past Performance.
In conducting the past performance evaluation, the Government will consider the quoter's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying services that meet the contract's requirements. The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance shall be considered. These are combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each quoter.
(1) Evaluation Process. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality. The first aspect of the past performance is to evaluate the recency of the quoter's past performance being evaluated. The second aspect is to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the quoter is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. The third aspect is to establish the overall quality of the quoter's past performance.
These aspects will be evaluated as follows:
a) Recency. First, the Government will evaluate each past performance reference to determine recency.
Recency is expressed as a time during which the past performance references are considered relevant and is critical to establishing the relevancy of past performance information. To be considered recent, the effort must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation.
b) Relevancy. Second, the Government will evaluate whether the quoter's past performance is relevant or not relevant to the required effort.
- Scope: For this requirement, relevant past performance in terms of scope are past efforts that involve Roman Catholic Priest services.
- Magnitude: Relevancy in terms of magnitude will be past efforts based on years of relevant experience.
The following rating scale shall be used for past performance relevance.

SOMEWHAT

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.
c) Quality. The third aspect of the past performance evaluation is to establish the overall quality of the Quoter's past performance. Only recent past performance deemed Somewhat Relevant or better will be evaluated in this third step. The Government will review this past performance information (to include CPARS and/or questionnaires) and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to a performance confidence assessment.
The Government's performance confidence assessment will consider the Past Performance Worksheet submitted by quoters, Past Performance Questionnaires submitted by quoter references, their own experience with offerors, and information from third-party references. If a quoter already has had an evaluation completed within the Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS) for a past performance effort listed in the Past Performance Worksheet, a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) does not need to be submitted. If a PPQ is received and there is an existing CPARS record for the same effort, the CPAR record will take precedence.
Note: An offeror without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Such quoters will receive a neutral rating of Neutral Confidence.
(2) Ratings. After the Government reviews the past performance information to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to a performance confidence assessment, quoters will be assigned one of the following confidence ratings:

EVALUATION FACTOR 3: Price. In order to be considered for an award, the price must be determined to be fair and reasonable, and balanced (or if unbalanced pricing exists that it does not pose an unacceptable risk to the government) using one or more techniques set forth in RFO 12.204 .
Options. In accordance with the provision at RFO 52.217-5, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options, including the option under RFO 52.217-8, to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise options. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.
Quoters are advised that the Option to Extend Services Clause at 52.217-8 is included in the solicitation and will be included in the awarded contract. When proposing prices for base and option years, quoters should consider that the Government may choose to exercise the option to extend services at the end of any period of performance (base or option periods), utilizing the rates in effect during the period of performance in which the option is exercised. The Government assumes that any price proposed for base and option periods reflects the possibility that a period of performance may be extended. For evaluation purposes, the Government will take the total price for the last option period exercised, divide it by two, and add it to the total contract price.
