(C) Pricing: Contractors shall provide the following pricing information:

A calculated firm fixed total price See (ATTACHMENT (1) Excel Sheet) for each Sub-Clin and a Total cost for each of the

CLIN/Subclin identified under this solicitation. Total cost for the Base Year CLINS, a total cost for the Option Year CLINS and an overall total cost of all CLINS for the entire RFQ. Pricing will be evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable basis.

(PPI) for the same type or similar efforts that have taken place within the past three years. Past Performance references shall be contacted to obtain information on a contractor’s performance either for Government or

Commercial contracts.

It will state what type of data is required to be submitted on the PPI form (Attachment to Solicitation).

To be considered eligible for award, a Contractor must receive a past performance rating of Acceptable or Neutral.

Award will not be made to a Contractor if a rating of Unacceptable is given on past performance.

Technically Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating

Description

Acceptable

Based on offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below)

Unacceptable

Offeror does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation and has not provided all the required technical capability documentation set forth under this solicitation.

Note: In the case a Contractor without a record of past performance or for whom the information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the

Contractor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (See FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv).

Past Performance – Acceptable

Contractor has relevant past performance, no monetary assessment for non-conforming services, no terminations for default, and has met contract requirements for timely delivery and customer service.

Past Performance – Unacceptable

Unacceptable: Monetary assessment for non-conforming services, terminations for default or cause, poor performance, such as untimely delivery or poor customer service.

Past Performance – Neutral

Unknown or no relevant past performance data available for evaluation.

The Government will not make award to a contractor that the Government evaluates as Unacceptable on Past

Performance. To be eligible for award, the Government must evaluate the Past Performance factor as either

Acceptable or Neutral.

The Government will give an Acceptable Past Performance rating to quotes where the offeror has relevant past performance, no monetary assessment for non-conforming services, no terminations for default, met contract requirements for timely delivery and customer service.

The Government will give a Neutral Past Performance rating to offerors that lack a record of relevant Past

Performance or for whom information on Past Performance is not available. In accordance with FAR 15.305 (a)(2), the Government will not evaluate such offerors favorably or unfavorably on Past Performance.

Offerors are reminded, however, that a quote that receives a Neutral on Past Performance may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government and, thus, may be an unsuccessful quote. Accordingly, the Contracting

Officer reserves the right to determine that a higher-priced quote with an Acceptable rating on Past Performance may be more advantageous to the Government than a lower-priced quote with a Neutral rating on Past Performance.

Multiple Award:

Upon completion of the evaluation of the quotes, the Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government’s best interest to do so. The Government will solely determine the number of awards to be made based on all determining factors. The Government would make such multiple awards only to responsible offerors whose quotes are determined technically acceptable, with acceptable Past Performance and fair and reasonable pricing.

Future orders would be competed in accordance with FAR 16.505. Among the factors that the Navy may use in competing orders are price, ability to meet the delivery schedule, and past performance.

The Government may reject any or all quotes, is such action is in the best interest of the Government. The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract(s) without discussions with offerors (except clarifications) as described in FAR 15.306(a)).

Therefore, the offeror’s initial quotes should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint.

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of quotes 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 quotes in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated quotes.
