AMEND PART X to read FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (Jan 2017)

DELETE PART X(a)(1)(j) AND REPLACE WITH: "Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number" with " Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)".

DELETE PART X(b)(10) in its entirety and replace with the following:

Past Performance Information (Tailored)

For the purpose of evaluating offerors’ past performance:

A. “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last three (3) years.

B. “Relevant” is defined as a contract that is of similar scope, magnitude, complexity to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation.

1. Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the PWS.

2. Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the offeror’s submitted contracts to the PWS.

3. Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of the efforts and disciplines performed by the offeror in its submitted contracts to the PWS. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (E.G., Concurrent performance requirements).

AMEND PART X(c) to read: "Unless offeror proposes a shorter period, by submission of an offer, offeror agrees that its offer, including any timely revisions thereto, shall remain valid until the Government makes award under this solicitation. The forgoing does not preclude an offeror from withdrawing its offer prior to award."

AMEND PART XI. (a) replace first sentence in paragraph (a) to read as follows:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror (See Note (1) below) whose technically acceptable proposal represents the lowest price to the Government.

NOTE (1): It is emphasized that as an integral part of the award selection a responsibility determination of the offeror will be made in accordance with FAR Part 9.104. Within this determination, the Government will only consider an offeror responsible if it presents a viable, continued capacity to fully provide the contracted services in accordance with the charter, regardless of operating conditions (e.g., conflict or contingency operations). This will be determined using the factors shown in FAR Part 9.104, to include: 1) experience, 2) operational controls, 3) technical skills, 4) satisfactory performance record, and 5) ability to comply with required delivery schedule.

ADD XI (a) - AMEND FINAL SENTENCE: Award will be made, if at all, to an offeror in the highest priority (among those offers received) set forth in sec. III.A.3. of VISA, in accordance with the award criteria set forth below, with consideration given to vessels with shipyard work completed in the USA or Guam.

DELETE PART XI(d) in its entirety and replace with the following;

Past Performance. The government will search PPIRS for each offeror’s three most recent and relevant government contracts for the ocean transportation of cargo. While the government intends to use primarily PPIRS to gather information on offerors’ past performance, it reserves the right to consider other sources of relevant information. The government will not consider the past performance of parent or sister companies, and will only consider the past performance of the offeror. Recency and relevancy are defined in section X, above, of past performance information.

The government will consider the extent of the offeror’s ability to perform a previous contract successfully in the areas of; (A) Quality of product or services; (B) Timeliness or scheduling of supplies/deliveries; (C) Business relations/customer satisfaction; and (D) Key personnel and staffing (including subcontractors).

a) At a minimum, award will not be made to an offeror who is or within the past three years has been seriously deficient in contract performance, unless the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances were properly beyond the offeror’s control or that the offeror took appropriate corrective action.

b) If discussions are held, offerors will be given the opportunity to address unfavorable reports of past performance.

c) Rating Scale: The government will assign ratings as follows: 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 (see note below). Unacceptable: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the requirement.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant 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.

Offerors will be evaluated on their performance under existing and prior contracts for similar services and as otherwise detailed in the solicitation. Information obtained from references listed in proposals, other customers known to the Government, and other sources of useful and relevant information will be considered.

ADD PART XI(i): In compliance with Cargo Preference, the Contracting Officer may elect to only evaluate U.S. flag vessels, to include current U.S. flag vessels and vessels to be U.S. flag upon delivery.

PART XII(c)(2): AMEND TO READ: FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, (Jan 2017) Alternate 1 (Oct 2014).

ADD PART XII FAR 52.223-22 Public Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Goals--Representation (Dec 2016)

(a) This representation shall be completed if the Offeror received $7.5 million or more in Federal contract awards in the prior Federal fiscal year. The representation is optional if the Offeror received less than $7.5 million in Federal contract awards in the prior Federal fiscal year.

(b) Representation. [Offeror is to check applicable blocks in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2).]

(1) The Offeror (itself or through its immediate owner or highest-level owner) [ ] does, [ ] does not publicly disclose greenhouse gas emissions, i.e., make available on a publicly accessible Web site the results of a greenhouse gas inventory, performed in accordance with an accounting standard with publicly available and consistently applied criteria, such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard.

(3) A publicly accessible Web site includes the Offeror's own Web site or a recognized, third-party greenhouse gas emissions reporting program.

(c) If the Offeror checked "does" in paragraphs (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this provision, respectively, the Offeror shall provide the publicly accessible Web site(s) where greenhouse gas emissions and/or reduction goals are reported:_____.
