CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

Addendum to 52.212-1:

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 This section provides general instructions for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements in addition to those identified as evaluation factors and subfactors. Taking exception to any provision in the solicitation without addressing the exception with the contracting office before the proposal due date specified within the solicitation will render the proposal ineligible for award.

1.2 The Government intends to award this contract without discussions. Notwithstanding this intent, the

Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with Offerors in the competitive range, if necessary and permit such Offerors to revise their proposals.

1.3 An Offeror’s proposal is presumed to represent the Offeror’s best efforts to comply with the solicitation requirements. Clarity and completeness of the proposal are of the utmost importance. The proposal must be written in a practical, clear, and concise manner. It must use quantitative terms whenever possible and must avoid qualitative adjectives to the maximum extent possible. Offerors are cautioned against restating PWS requirements in their proposal, particularly with regard to technical requirements and must state how all RFP and PWS requirements will be met. Statements such as "the Offeror understands" and "the Offeror shall/can comply", along with responses that paraphrase the RFP, are inadequate. The use of phrases such as "standard practices" (with a specific government reference or industry reference) does not indicate that an Offeror understands the requirements and will likely result in a diminished evaluation rating.

1.4 The offer should be complete as submitted and not include references to data or information previously submitted. Data previously submitted to the Navy, if any, will not be incorporated “by reference” into the offer and will not be considered in the evaluation of the proposal.

1.5 At the Government’s discretion, the Contractor’s proposal may be incorporated into the final contract, either in whole or in part.

1.6 The Offeror’s proposal shall remain valid for at least 120 calendar days after the proposal due date.

1.7 Questions regarding any aspect of this procurement must be submitted in writing to the Contract

Specialist. Other methods of submitting questions are not authorized and will not be acknowledged or addressed. Both questions and answers will be posted to the Government Point of Entry

(www.sam.gov) in a form of amendment to the solicitation for all parties to view. The Government will make every attempt to answer all questions in a timely manner. However, questions submitted within three days of the posted closing date may not allow for ample time to respond, and Offerors cannot be guaranteed a response will be issued. All questions must be submitted by date referenced on sam.gov.

2. PROPOSAL FORMAT AND CONTENT

(End of provision)

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

Addendum to 52.212-2:

1.0 BASIS FOR AWARD:

1.1 Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation requirements and is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The acquisition will utilize the Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) process to make a best value award decision. For proposals determined technically acceptable, a trade-off between price and past performance will be conducted with past performance being significantly more important than price considerations.

1.2 The Government intends to award this contract without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a technical, past performance and price standpoint. Notwithstanding this intent, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to conduct discussions, a matter within his/her discretion.

1.3 The Offerors must fully comply with the instructions included in Section L (Instructions, Conditions, and Notices for Submission of Offers), and sufficiently address all solicitation requirements. Taking exception to any requirement in the solicitation without addressing the exception with the contracting office before the proposal due date specified within the solicitation will render the proposal ineligible for award.

2.0 EVALUATION PROCESS AND FACTORS

2.1 The Government will evaluate proposals based on the following factors and sub-factor:

Factor I – Technical

Sub-Factor (1) Staffing Plan

Factor II – Past Performance

Factor III – Price

2.2 If three (3) or fewer quotes are received, the Government will evaluate all quotes. If more than three

(3) quotes are received, the Government will then evaluate the three (3) lowest priced quotes.

However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes if none of the initial three (3) lowest priced quotes are qualified as technically acceptable under Factor I and have at least a

Satisfactory Confidence performance assessment under Factor II. If additional quotes are evaluated, they will be evaluated in the order of increasing total evaluated price.

2.3 The Government’s technical evaluation team will evaluate Factor I, Technical, on an

“Acceptable”/”Unacceptable” basis. Only technically acceptable quotes are eligible for award.

2.4 There is one sub-factor under Factor I, Technical: Sub-factor (1) Staffing Plan. This sub-factor will be used to establish an overall rating for Factor I. An “Unacceptable” in this sub-factor will result in an overall Factor I rating of “Unacceptable,” rendering the entire proposal ineligible for award.

2.5 Only those offerors that are determined to be technically acceptable under Factor I, Technical, will be further evaluated under Factor II, Past Performance. Past Performance history will be evaluated as being significantly more important than Price.

2.6 Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable under Factor I with at least a Satisfactory

Confidence performance assessment under Factor II, either initially, or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award.

3.0 FACTOR I – TECHNICAL

The Government will conduct technical evaluation on the three lowest priced offerors.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical proposal against the listed sub-factors to determine whether they are technically acceptable or technically unacceptable.:

3.1 Sub-factor (1) Staffing plan.

3.1.1 The Government will evaluate the adequacy of the Offeror’s staffing plan to determine whether or not it properly addresses the staffing requirements for on-going day-to-day operations. Offerors will be evaluated on their ability to respond to workload fluctuations and overlapping tasks in a timely manner.

3.1.2 The Government will evaluate all proposed Personnel and the supporting information to determine the extent to which the described knowledge, experience, and education are in accordance with the key requirements in the PWS.

3.1.3 The Government will evaluate the adequacy of the Offeror’s transition plan

Each sub-factor will be evaluated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis using the ratings below

TABLE M-1 TECHNICAL ACCEPABLE/ UNACCEPTABLE METHOD

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

4.0 FACTOR II – PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government will conduct the past performance evaluation on the three lowest priced offerors if they are determined to be technically acceptable under Factor I, Technical.

4.1 The assessment of the Offeror’s past performance will be used by the Government as a means to evaluate the relative capability of the Offeror and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the PWS and as a measure of performance risk for contract award. The government’s assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror’s performance on list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgment of the government after it considers all available relevant and recent information.

4.2 The rating tables identified below as “Past Performance Relevancy Rating” Table and “Past

Performance Confidence Assessment” Table will be utilized for the assignment of ratings for relevancy and confidence assessment.

4.3 Each past performance data sheet will be evaluated to determine whether the work performed by the

Offeror is recent and relevant to the instant requirement. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts accomplished within the past three (3) years that is of the same or similar scope, complexity, and magnitude to that which is described in the solicitation. Common aspects of relevancy include, but are not limited to, the following: similarity of product/service/ support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, use of key personnel (for services), and extent of subcontracting.

4.4 The Government will assign one relevancy rating for each past performance effort submitted using the four levels of relevancy as shown in “Past Performance Relevancy Rating” Table below. Past performance of greater relevancy will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Past performance reference that that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably and will not be considered in the overall assessment of Past Performance

Confidence.

“Past Performance Relevancy Rating” Table

Rating Definition

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

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

Somewhat Relevant 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.

4.5 Each past performance reference under each offeror’s Past Performance submission that is found to have at least some relevance to the instant requirement will be evaluated to determine the quality of the offeror’s performance under that reference. The Government will focus its inquiry of the Offerors record of performance as it relates to timeliness, quality, cost control, and customer satisfaction.

4.6 Quality of the relevant past performance will form the basis for the Offeror’s overall rating for Past

Performance.

4.7 The Government will assign one Past Performance Confidence rating to each Offeror using the five levels of confidence as shown in “Past Performance Confidence Assessment” Table below. This rating will become the Offeror’s overall rating for Past Performance.

“Past Performance Confidence Assessment” Table

Rating Description

Substantial

Confidence:

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

Satisfactory

Confidence:

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

Limited

Confidence:

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

No Confidence:

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence

(Neutral):

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

The government intends to verify past performance information on contracts listed by the Offerors. The government may contact some or all of the references. 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. The

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) will be accessed to locate recent and relevant information.

5.0 FACTOR III – PRICE

5.1 All proposals will be ranked by the total evaluated price. Total Evaluated Price will be calculated by summing the evaluated price for the base year and all option years, plus the Option to Extend, per FAR clause 52.217-8. Evaluation of options WILL NOT obligate the Government to exercise the options.

5.2 Each Offeror's price proposal will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Also, unbalanced pricing will be evaluated of the proposed unit prices of the fixed price list, including options, IAW

FAR 15.404-1(g). A proposal is considered complete when all items outlined in the Schedule of

Supplies/Services of the Solicitation. Price reasonableness will be determined using one or more techniques identified in FAR 15.404-1(b) such as comparison of proposed prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items or subline item(s) appear to be significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques.

5.3 Option to Extend Services: As part of the Price Factor evaluation, the Government will evaluate the

Option to Extend Services under FAR 52.217-8 by including six (6) months, priced at the monthly rate of the last option period. The Government may choose to exercise the extension of services at the end of all options, utilizing the rates for that ordering period.
