(b) To be considered for award, offers of “equal” products, including “equal” products of the brand name manufacturer, must--

(1) Meet the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristic specified in this solicitation;

(2) Clearly identify the item by--

(i) Brand name, if any; and

(c) The Contracting Officer will evaluate “equal” products on the basis of information furnished by the offeror or identified in the offer and reasonably available to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the offer.

(d) Unless the offeror clearly indicates in its offer that the product being offered is an “equal” product, the offeror shall provide the brand name product referenced in the solicitation.

52.211-14 NOTICE OF PRIORITY RATING FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE, EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, AND ENERGY PROGRAM USE (APR 2008)

Any contract awarded as a result of this solicitation will be DX rated order; A7 DO rated order certified for national defense, emergency preparedness, and energy program use under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) (15 CFR 700), and the Contractor will be required to follow all of the requirements of this regulation. [Contracting Officer check appropriate box.]

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:

EVALUATION INFORMATION

Factor 1 - Technical Acceptability: Offers must meet or exceed the specifications in the solicitation and any subsequent amendments (see Proposal Submittal Requirements). The product information as specified in the proposal submittal requirements will be evaluated to determine if the proposed product(s) meets the technical requirements as specified in the solicitation document. Should the product information be insufficient to determine technical acceptability, the Government reserves the right to use other options such as internet research on company’s/companies’ website of products offered/proposed. Delivery will be evaluated based on the contractor's ability to meet the delivery schedule stated in the solicitation.

Factor 2 - Past Performance: Past performance will be evaluated on whether 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 purchase order requirements will be given higher consideration.

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 for 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 a submitted “Past Performance Worksheet." 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 determining offeror’s Past Performance acceptability/unacceptability.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Note that, if the contractor does not provide past performance information with its offer, the Contracting Officer need not pursue further information if it is clear that the offeror’s price is not competitive.

Factor 3 - Price: Offerors are required to submit prices for all line items included in the solicitation.

Failure to submit a price for any line items 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.

Offerors will be evaluated on the basis of lowest price, technically and past performance acceptable to the Government; that is, selection of the contractor is to be based on the establishment of minimum requirements to be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-price factors. In order to be considered for award, there must be an “acceptable” rating in every non-price factor. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) non-price factors included Technical and Past Performance.

Upon completion of the review of all technical, past performance, and price information, the Source Selection Authority/Contracting Officer will select the offer, in conformance with the solicitation, which is determined technically and past performance acceptable and offers the lowest price.

No award will be made at other than a fair and reasonable price.

PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS:

Factor 1 - Technical Acceptability:

Offerors shall describe the technical execution plan for the specified equipment. The validity and thoroughness of the Offeror’s written proposal will be evaluated as specific evidence of their understanding and capability to successfully perform the technical requirements of this contract.

Sub factor 1a: Offerors shall provide information describing equipment design, part/component selection and sourcing, equipment assembly procedures including quality assurance inspection points and controls, grounding/bonding considerations and factory acceptance testing. Offerors shall provide historical examples of mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) metrics, evidence of maintenance and serviceability and recommended preventative maintenance/calibration requirements.

Sub factor 1b: Offerors shall provide a factory acceptance test plan demonstrating compliance with performance specifications.

Sub factor 1c: Offerors shall provide information describing their Quality Management System, including documentation to substantiate ISO/ANSI/ASQ 9001 Certification or Compliance. Offerors shall provide a description of their in-process inspection approach, to include an explanation of how the offeror will mitigate potential rework.

Factor 2 - Past Performance:

Offerors shall demonstrate past performance by completing the Past Performance Questionnaire Worksheet, for up to five (5) of the offeror's most recently completed Federal Government contracts (not to exceed three years since completion) for like or similar items under this solicitation. If the offeror does not have any Federal Government contracts, then list state, local, or commercial contracts, in that order, to complete your Past Performance Questionnaire Worksheet.
