Technical Evaluation Rating Table

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal clearly does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

2. Past Performance Acceptability:

The offeror’s past performance must be determined to be acceptable before further consideration will be given. Based on an analysis of the past performance record of the offeror, the Government must have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. If the offeror’s past performance record is unknown, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably, and will therefore be rated as acceptable. The past performance information will be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable based on the degree to which the offeror satisfied its customers in the past and complied with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Past performance references for efforts providing applicable experience relative to the solicitation requirements will be given greater consideration. The offeror shall provide a maximum of three (3) references. The Past Performance Worksheet, attachment 1, included in the solicitation may be used for providing information. Offerors shall include an accessible point of contact, including name and telephone number, for each reference provided.

The Government may contact some of each offeror’s customers to ask whether or not they believe: (1) that the offeror is capable, efficient and effective; (2) that the offeror’s performance conformed to the terms and conditions of its contract; (3) that the offeror was reasonable and cooperative during performance; (4) that the offeror was committed to customer satisfaction; and (5) that the offeror was able to hire and retain qualified personnel necessary for successful completion of customer requirements. Additionally they may ask if given a chance would they select the same or a different Contractor and/or other questions related to the offeror’s ability in the areas outlined in this Factor.

The Government may consider past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the offeror, such as published media and electronic databases. Only past performance that is relative to the specified item will be evaluated. It is the responsibility of the offeror to relate past performance to the specifications. Government evaluators may utilize federal, state, and local past performance databases including, but not limited to, Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and DLA’s Mechanization of Contract Administration Services (MOCAS) system. The Government may research offeror performance on any federal, state, local, and commercial contract performance of the offeror that is known to the Government, but not included on the submitted Past Performance Worksheet, attachment 1; additionally, the personal experience and evaluator knowledge of offeror performance may be utilized.

The Government will consider the relevance of past performance information obtained in relation to the scope of this procurement. Past performance, either positive or negative, which is considered by the Government to be more closely related to the scope of this effort, will be given greater weight in the evaluation process.

Past Performance will be assessed according to the following evaluation ratings and criteria format provided in the below Rating Table.

Past Performance Evaluation Rating Table

Rating Description

Acceptable

Based on the 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.

Unacceptable

Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

3. Price: Offerors are required to submit prices for all line items. Failure to submit a price for any line item may result in the offer being rejected as unacceptable. The prices will be compared to the Government Estimate, other offers received and/or other independent price and cost information. The

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

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.

Offeror’s prices will be evaluated utilizing the following Stepladder Pricing Evaluation.

Stepladder Pricing Evaluation

The Government will be evaluating offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all CLINs utilizing the STEPLADDER PRICING EVALUATION. The prices will be compared to the Government estimate, other offers received and/or other independent price and cost information.

Stepladder pricing shall be evaluated by computing a weighted average unit price for each line item. The weighted average unit price will be computed based upon the price offered for each stepladder quantity times the upper quantity in that particular stepladder, divided by the sum of the “upper quantity” units. The weighted average unit price computed for that line item will then be multiplied by the “evaluated quantity” (EQ) identified for that line item to derive a total evaluated line item price. Please note that regardless of the stepladder price under which the EQ falls, the EQ will be multiplied only by the weighted average unit price derived for that particular CLIN and not by the actual price that corresponds to that quantity within Section B/Schedule of Supplies/Services.

Example: Evaluated Quantity (EQ): 50

Stepladder Qty Price x Upper Qty = Total

41-50 $100 x 50 = $ 5,000

31-40 $120 x 40 = $ 4,800

20-30 $150 x 30 = $ 4,500

Total 120 = $14,300

Weighted Average Unit Price = $14,300/120 = $119.17

Total Evaluated Line Item Price = $119.17 x 50 = $5,958.50

The “Total Evaluated Line Item Price” for each CLIN will be added together to arrive at the “Total Evaluated Stepladder Price”.

The EQ to be used for each CLIN under this solicitation shall be as follows:

CLIN EQ

1001 75

2001 75

3001 75

Offerors are hereby advised that the “EQ” in no way restricts the Government as to the number of units it may order under each line item. It is used solely for evaluation purposes. The Government reserves the right to order ANY quantity within a stepladder subject to the availability of funding at time of initial award or option exercise. Offerors should note that price breaks given for each stepladder within a CLIN are to apply to all units within that and lower stepladders. The following example illustrates the correct procedure for calculating the overall price for specific quantities ordered:

Stepladder Qty Price

20-30 $150

31-40 $120

41-50 $100

Examples of quantities ordered and pricing:

Qty Ordered Price Total Price

25 $150 $3,750

38 $120 $4,560

41 $100 $4,100
