52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes, listed in descending order of importance:

Factor 1: Technical Understanding and Personnel Qualifications

Factor 2: Management Approach

Factor 3: Past Performance

Factor 4: Price

Technical understanding and personnel qualifications, management approach and past performance, when combined, are more important than price.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes to assess the vendor’s technical understanding and personnel qualifications, management approach, and understanding of the requirements as referenced in the PWS.

Technical Factors 1 and 2 for the quote will be evaluated using the adjectival ratings and applicable definitions included in the tables below:

Table 1. Combined Technical/Risk Rating

Color Rating Adjectival Rating Description

Blue Outstanding

Quote indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple Good

Quote indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green Acceptable

Quote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Quote has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable

Quote does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Quote is unawardable.

Table 2. Risk Rating Definitions

Adjectival

Rating

Description

Low

Quote may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal

Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate

Quote contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may potentially cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High

Quote contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

Unacceptable Quote contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.

Table 3. Observation Definitions

Observation Definition

Significant An aspect of a Vendor's quote that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds

Strength specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Strength

An aspect of a Vendor's quote that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Weakness A flaw in the quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

See FAR 15.001.

Significant

Weakness

A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

See FAR 15.001.

Deficiency

A material failure of a quote to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001.

Uncertainty Aspects of the quote that make it impossible to determine if a requirement will be met.

Risk

The potential for unsuccessful contract performance. The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which a Vendor’s quoted approach to achieving the technical factor or subfactor may involve risk of disruption of schedule, degredation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

(1) Factor 1: Technical Understanding and Personnel Qualifications. The Government will evaluate the following:

- The Vendor’s technical understanding and approach to performing the tasks identified in the PWS.

- The Vendor’s staffing plan which explains in detail how the Vendor will provide personnel that meet or exceed the qualifications specified in the PWS.

- The Vendor’s experience, if any, providing emergency medical services in a developmental testing or amphibious environment, including experience with related medical conditions and the demands of such environments.

- The Vendor’s ability and approach to providing the required services given the schedule fluctuations inherent in a developmental test environment.

(2) Factor 2: Management Approach. The Government will evaluate the following:

- The Vendor’s management approach in meeting the requirements of the PWS and how the company will oversee and manage the contract effort, maintain medical oversight in accordance with San Diego County

EMS policies, procedures, and protocols, and communicate with the Government.

- A Quality Control Plan that, at a minimum, explains how the vendor will maintain proper oversight over to the contract effort, ensure that staff maintain current certifications and licensure throughout performance of the contract, and ensure that EMT support is provided as ordered by the Government, addressing issues including, but not limited to employee turnover, absenteeism, and tardiness.

(3) Factor 3: Past Performance. The Government will evaluate past performance by reviewing each past performance reference or other source of past performance information to determine recency and relevancy. Recency and relevancy will be determined as follows:

Recency: Recency is assessed to ensure vendor past performance is considered based on information that is sufficiently current to allow for meaningful predictive value. References for contracts or task orders with at least 12 months of performance in the last 36 months will be considered to be recent.

Relevancy: Relevancy is assessed so that contract performance may be weighed in relation to its predictive value. To determine relevancy, the Government will consider the magnitude, scope, and complexity of each past performance reference.

Then the Government will weigh the quality of the performance on each effort in relation to the effort’s relevancy in order to determine a single rating for each Vendor from the Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating

Method table below.

Table 4. Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort, or the vendor’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

In the case of a vendor without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the vendor shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

(4) Factor 4: Price. The Government will evaluate the vendor’s price quote to determine fair and reasonableness using price analysis techniques and procedures. Price will be evaluated but not rated.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The resultant task order will include FAR 52.217-8. As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services by adding a six month option period, calculated using half of the quantity in the final option year at the vendor’s final option period price, to the vendor’s total price. Accordingly, a separate evaluation for fair and reasonableness will be completed for this option and will be part of the above price evaluation.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the vendor's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(d) Vendors must propose for all CLINs. Partial quotes will not be accepted.
