Award will be made in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 to a single quoter who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, whose quote offers a technically acceptable solution, who has acceptable past performance, conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose quote represents the lowest overall price.

To be considered a technically acceptable solution, the solution shall meet all of the minimum requirements stated in the specifications.

A past performance evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b) (3). The Government intends to utilize the Government wide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for the past performance evaluation as a basis for anticipating successful/unsuccessful performance on this required effort. To be considered acceptable for past performance, a search of the PPIRS shall reveal no negative past performance information for the recent and relevant records. In the event that there are no recent and/or relevant PPIRS records, the quoter’ s past performance record shall be considered “unknown.” In the context of acceptable or unacceptable, “unknown” past performance shall be considered “acceptable.” To be considered recent, the effort must have been completed within the previous three (3) years from date of this draft award notice. To be considered relevant the record should be similar in terms of scope and magnitude. “Scope” is defined as experience in areas defined in the SOW. “Magnitude” is defined as the measure of similarity of the volume, dollar value and or duration of work actually performed under the quoter’ s submitted contracts to the SOW. At the quoter’s discretion, additional past performance information may be submitted with the quote as a supplement to PPIRS. If furnished, this submission will be evaluated in accordance with the procedures described above.

The Government will evaluate quoted pricing for reasonableness utilizing techniques described in FAR 13.106-3. Note, all charts listed in Enclosure 2.2.1 will be evaluated for price reasonableness. For evaluation purposes only, charts designated with a quantity of zero (0) will be evaluated utilizing a quantity of one (1).

13. MSC SPECIFIC WIDE AREA WORKFLOW (WAWF) INSTRUCTIONS (AUG 2012)

The information contained in this instruction is supplemental to DFARS 252.232-7006.

The information contained in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006 is for WAWF purposes only. Information included in DFARS 252.232-7006 and this WAWF instruction apply only to WAWF Invoicing and WAWF Receiving Reports. Contradictory information elsewhere in this contract, e.g. Ship to DoDAAC, shall be followed per the terms and conditions of the contract.

When entering the invoice into WAWF, the Contractor shall fill in the DoDAAC fields or DoDAAC extensions exactly as shown in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006. Fields that should not be filled in when entering the invoice into WAWF will be indicated with the direction, “Leave Blank.”

In some situations the WAWF system will pre-populate the “Pay DoDAAC,” “Admin By DoDAAC” and “Issue By DoDAAC.” The Contractor shall verify that those DoDAACs automatically entered by the WAWF system match the information in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006. If these DoDAACs do not match, then the Contractor shall correct the field(s).

If Receiving Reports are required, ensure that the “Inspection” and “Acceptance” defaults of “destination” for both fields are not changed in the WAWF online interface.

The CLINs on the WAWF invoice shall be entered exactly as set forth in the contract document including CLIN number (e.g. 0001), Quantity (may be adjusted for actual quantity or dollar value delivered and invoiced), and Unit Price (e.g. $1.00). The dollar amounts on each CLIN or SubCLIN on the WAWF invoice shall reflect final performance values, but in no instance can the dollar amount for each CLIN or SubCLIN exceed what is specified in the contract document. The Contractor shall bill to the lowest level, e.g., the SubCLIN level. The Quantity and Unit of Measure fields must be filled out exactly as indicated in the CLINs and SubCLINs to reduce the possibility of the invoice being delayed or rejected during processing.

Before closing out of an invoice session in WAWF, but after submitting the document or documents, the Contractor will be given the option to send additional email notifications by clicking on the “Send More Email Notifications” link that appears on the page. The Contractor shall click on this link and add the Technical Point of Contact’s (TPOC) or Contracting Officer’s Representative’s (COR) email address in the first email address block and add any other additional email addresses desired in the following blocks. This additional notification to the Government is important to ensure the acceptor/receiver is aware that the invoice documents have been submitted into the WAWF system.
