Volume II – Price is not page limited

III. QUOTE CONTENT

Volume I:

Factor I: Past Performance

The quoter shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years prior to the closing date that is the same as, or similar to, the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation. In addition, performance data will only be assessed for those references demonstrating at least 1 year of completed performance within the five years prior to the closing date of this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the quoter shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts which meet the definition of relevancy stated above, and provide any other information the quoter considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Quoters should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation. For purposes of this solicitation, a contract is defined as a single contract or a single task order placed under an ID/IQ contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply Schedule. Quoters may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs), task orders (TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance. Each individual example in the combination must also meet the relevancy requirements stated above. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal.

a. If proposed subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement must be stated. The quoter’s submittal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform will not be evaluated.

b. If the prime quoter or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort will not be evaluated.

c. If a combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs are used as a past performance example, the quoter shall state the specific experience claimed, period of performance, and dollar value of each. Performance data will only be assessed for those individual references which meet the definition of relevancy stated above. A Past Performance example that does not provide the level of detail required will not be evaluated.

Subcontractor performance (either the quoter's own subcontractor experience or proposed subcontractors experience) of major or critical aspects of this requirement will be considered as highly as prime contractor past performance information for the quoter. Failure of quoters to provide the required information and level of specificity will result in the contract reference not being evaluated.

The quoter should complete a Past Performance Information Form for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. The forms will count toward the Volume I page limit described above. For additional information regarding a particular reference beyond that which will fit on the form, the quoter may continue onto another sheet of paper. Such continuation sheet(s) for submitted references will count toward the Volume I page limit.

In addition to the information requested above, quoters shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the attached “Past Performance Report Form” and e-mail the completed survey directly David Crouch, at david.w.crouch@navy.mil BY THE CLOSING DATE AND TIME OF THIS SOLICITATION. The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the closing date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information.

Volume II

Factor II: Price Price shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price breakdown with all supporting documentation. The price information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

Price shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price breakdown with all supporting documentation. The price information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

- For the purpose of preparing a price quote, the quoter shall assume that the period of performance consists of a 12-month base period to begin on 01 June2019, plus four 12-month options and FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, established in the Schedule.

- A completed and signed Standard Form 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items, and executed copies of any amendments.

- Complete the tables located in Attachment 13, Pricing Spreadsheet. An quoter must propose on all items in the tables under Attachment 13 within a specified area of performance for a given schedule. Failure to do so shall be cause for rejection of the offer for that area of performance of that schedule. If there is not charge for an item, an entry such as “No Charge” or the letters “N/C” or “0” must be made in the unit price column of the Schedule.

· Any offer, which stipulates minimum charges or graduated process for any or all items shall be rejected for that area of performance within the Schedule.

- Any subcontracts shall be identified and priced in the price factor.

· Unless otherwise provided in this solicitation, the quoter shall state prices in amounts per hundred pounds on gross or net weights, whichever is applicable. All charges shall be subject to, and payable on, the basis of 100-pound minimum weight for unaccompanied baggage and a 500-pound minimum weight for household goods, net or gross weight, whichever is applicable.

· When drayage is necessary for the accomplishment of any item in the pricing schedule, the quoter shall include in the unit price any costs for bridges or ferry tolls, road use charges or similar expenses.

The following information shall also be completed and provided in Volume II with all supporting documentation:

· The Government reserves the right to conduct a Pre-Award Survey of the quoter’s facilities to determine compliance. If the quoter has a Government-approved warehouse facility, the latest warehouse inspection report (DD Form 1812) shall be submitted. If the quoter does not currently have a Government-approved warehouse, their warehouse must be inspected and approved prior to award of contract and they shall provide a pre-filled DD Form 1811, Pre-award Survey of Contractor’s/Carrier’s Facility and Equipment, with the company’s information and warehouse location with their quote. PWS section 5.11 compliance will be reviewed in accordance with Attachment 8, Pre-Award Survey Guidelines, and an executed copy of the DD Form 1811.

(END)

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

(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:

Factor I: Past Perfomance Factor II: Price

The trade-off evaluation of quotes will consider the quoter’s Non-Price Proposal to be approximately equal to the Price proposal. The Non-Price proposal consists of Factor I, Past Performance.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options 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).

(c) 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.

ADDENDUM FAR 52.212-2

FAR provision 52.212-2 Addendum, Evaluation—Commercial Items

The Government intends to award a single (with the possibility of split and/or secondary award), indefinite-delivery requirements (IDR) type contract with firm-fixed-price (FFP) provisions resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. Each quoter’s quote shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to, each of the areas identified in the solicitation provision entitled “FAR provision 52.212-1 Addendum, Instructions to Quoters--Commercial Items.” The evaluation and award are being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and FAR Subpart 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items.

The Government intends to award a contract without exchanges. The establishment of a competitive range is not anticipated. Accordingly, each quoter should submit its most favorable terms from a price and non-price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to establish a competitive range and conduct exchanges if later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary.

The trade-off evaluation of quotes will consider the quoter’s Non-Price Quote to be approximately equal to the Price quote. The Non-Price quote consists of Factor I, Past Performance.

The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced quoter. The Government reserves the right to make an award of two or more areas to a single bidder if such award will result in an overall lower estimated cost to the Government. The Government also reserves the right to award additional contracts, as a result of this solicitation, to the extent necessary to meet its estimated maximum daily requirements.

1. Non-Price Quote Evaluation Criteria

Factor I: Past Performance

The past performance evaluation factor assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in an quoter’s ability to meet the contract’s requirements based on the quality of a demonstrated record of recent and relevant performance. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality. These are combined to establish a single performance confidence assessment rating for each quoter. For the Past Performance factor, the rating tables identified in the table below, entitled Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Table and Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Table will be utilized for the assignment of ratings for relevancy and confidence assessment.

Past Performance Recency: Recency is the first aspect of the past performance evaluation and is the time period during which past performance references are considered relevant. Recency is critical to establishing the relevancy of past performance information. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years prior to the closing date that is the same as, or similar to, the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation. In addition, performance data will only be assessed for those references demonstrating at least 1 year of completed performance prior within the five years prior to the closing date of this solicitation. Evaluation will focus only on work already performed. Work yet-to-be performed and work outside of the relevant period established by this solicitation will not be considered.

Past Performance Relevancy: Regarding relevancy, the aggregated past performance references under the Quoter’s Past Performance submission will be evaluated to determine its scope and magnitude relative to the instant requirement. The following definitions apply to this evaluation:

- Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the PWS.

- Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the dollar value of actually performed work that exists between the PWS and the quoter’s contracts, in the aggregate, during the relevant period established by the solicitation.

The aggregate of each quoter’s past performance references in terms of scope and magnitude will result in the assessed overall relevance of that quoter’s past performance. The quality of performance under a past performance reference that that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be considered in the overall assessment of past performance confidence. In determining the rating for the past performance factor, past performance of greater relevancy will have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Past Performance Quality: The third aspect of the past performance evaluation is to establish the overall quality of the quoter’s past performance. The Government will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the quoter’s performance, including general trends and usefulness of the information, and will incorporate this into the performance confidence assessment.

In order to determine the quality of performance, the Government may utilize existing data sources, including the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), the Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; communication with points of contact in the quoter’s customer’s organization, which could include private sector requirements and contracts personnel, Administrative Contracting Officers, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) personnel, Procuring Contracting Officers, Contracting Officer’s Representatives, and other Government activity requirements personnel. The Government may verify past performance information. The Government may contact some or all of the references provided, as appropriate, and may collect information through questionnaires, telephone interviews, and existing data sources. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources, including sources outside of the Government. This information will be used for the evaluation of past performance.

Past Performance Confidence Assessment: The overall assigned rating for past performance will be the Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating, defined in the table below. The assignment of this rating will be based on the overall quality of the recent and relevant past performance and will also consider the source of the information, the context of the data, and general trends in the quoter’s performance. The quality of performance under a past performance reference that that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be considered in the overall assessment of past performance confidence.

If the quoter’s aggregated past performance is determined to be not relevant as defined in the solicitation, then the quality of the quoter’s past performance will not be evaluated through a confidence assessment and the past performance factor will be rated as “Neutral Confidence.” If an quoter’s aggregate past performance is determined to be somewhat relevant, then each past performance reference under the quoter’s past performance submission that contributed to the determination of aggregate will be evaluated to determine the quality of the quoter’s performance under that reference. The quality of performance on contract references that are rated not relevant is not evaluated even when the overall past performance is found to be relevant.

In the case of quoters for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the past performance factor. In this case, the quoter’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “Neutral Confidence.” Although an quoter that lacks recent, relevant past performance may not be rated favorably or unfavorably with regard to past performance, the Government may determine that a “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating provides better value to the Government than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating.

The past performance factor evaluation and past performance confidence assessment rating is separate and distinct from the contracting officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the quoter’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the quoter and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. Quote Evaluation Criteria

Factor II: Price The Government will evaluate price quotes in accordance with FAR 13.106-3, Award and Documentation. The Government may evaluate any and all information submitted by the quoter to support the reasonableness of the prices quoted. The method of evaluation used by the Contracting Officer is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Individual awards will be made to the quoter(s) who represents the best value for each schedule in each area. In light of the fact that awarding and administering more than one contract may lead to additional Government administrative costs, the Government, solely for the purposes of this evaluation, may apply an additional $500.00 administrative cost to the quoter’s proposed price for each additional potential contract awarded under this solicitation. Award(s) will then be made to the quoter(s) who represent the best value to the Government.

The Government will evaluate each quoter’s Maximum Daily Guarantee Capability (Attachment 4 of the solicitation) per schedule in each area.

In the event that no one quoter meets the Government’s Estimated Maximum Daily Requirements as required in Attachment 4 for any schedule in any area, the Government may award a Primary and possibly Secondary (standby) contract(s) to the quoter(s) whose quote(s) represent the best value to the Government. The successful primary and secondary (standby) contractor(s) will be held to a Guaranteed Daily Capability as set forth by the quoter in the Estimated Quantities (NCWT guaranteed daily capability). Any quoter who is not willing to accept award of a secondary (standby) contract (including all the terms and conditions set forth herein) shall check the block below; otherwise, the quote will be considered for award of a secondary (standby) contract.

__________ WILL NOT ACCEPT A SECONDARY (STANDBY) AWARD

Although price is not the most important evaluation factor, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process. The degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of equality of the quotes in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based. The importance of price will also increase when a quote's price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might be gained under the other aspects of the offer. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all quoters are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, non-price quote, price could become the factor in determining which quoter will receive the award.

3. Written Notice A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer emailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter 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.
