ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) contract to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation by utilizing the trade-off process. The quoter’s quote shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified in the Instructions to Quoters section of the solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award the task order upon initial quotes. Therefore, the quoter’s initial quote should contain the quoter’s best terms from a technical, past performance, and price standpoint.

The evaluation of quotes will be conducted after placing all offers in order of lowest price to highest.

If the lowest priced offer is evaluated to have a Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating of ‘Substantial Confidence’, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other offers. However, if the lowest priced offer is not evaluated to have a rating of ‘Substantial Confidence’ Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating, the next-lowest priced offer will be evaluated. The evaluation process will continue (in order of price from lowest to highest) until an offer is evaluated to have a ‘Substantial Confidence’ Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating. The Government shall then make an integrated best-value award decision between the offer rated with a ‘Substantial Confidence’ Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating and all lower priced awardable offers. If no quotes are rated with a ‘Substantial Confidence’ Past Performance Confidence Assessment, the Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best-value award decision from among the awardable offers.

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.

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. For purposes of this solicitation, recent past performance is performance that has taken place within five (5) years as of the closing date of this solicitation. Performance outside of this stated period will not be considered for evaluation purposes.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

First, the Government will assess each past performance reference under each quoter’s Past Performance submission to determine scope and magnitude relative to this requirement. The following definitions will apply to this evaluation:

• Scope: The measure of the similarity of the scope of the PWS and the quoter’s contracts. The PWS scope meets the majority of the objectives as defined in the solicitation.

• Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the dollar value of actually performed work that exists between the PWS and the quoter’s references. Magnitude will be evaluated on the dollar amount of work actually performed under the contract or contracts during the relevant five-year period established by this solicitation.

The relevancy rating assigned to each past performance reference will be considered in determining the weight to be given to that reference in the overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment. 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.

The Past Performance Relevancy Ratings are listed in Table 1 – Past Performance Relevancy Rating Table below:

Table 1 – Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Table

Rating Description

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.

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 past performance confidence assessment.

Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings

Next, the overall assigned rating for Past Performance will be the Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating.

The assignment of this rating will be based on the quality of the relevant past performance and will also consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance. The quality of performance under a past performance reference that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be considered in the overall assessment of Past Performance Confidence. This evaluation and 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 RFQ. In determining the rating for the past performance evaluation factor, the Government will give greater consideration to the contracts which the Government feels are most relevant to the RFQ. The Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings are detailed in the table as follows:

Table 2 – Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Table

Adjectival Rating

Description

Substantial Confidence

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

Satisfactory Confidence

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

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the quoter’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

The quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

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

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

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 a 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.

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.

Price

Price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. For the purpose of preparing a price quote, the contractor shall assume that the basic period of performance will be a three (3) year ordering period. The Government will evaluate the price quote for the three (3) year ordering period.

Prices will be evaluated on the basis of price reasonableness.

The Government may evaluate any and all information submitted by the quoter to support the reasonableness of prices proposed. The method of evaluation used by the Contracting Officer is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Additionally, the government may request quoters to submit additional information/data to support price reasonableness such as copies of paid invoices for the same or similar items or uncertified cost and pricing data. Failure to submit the requested information may result in disqualification of the submitted quote.

A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote e-mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Although price is the 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 quote. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all quoters are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, non-price quotes, price could become the factor in determining which quoters shall receive the award.
