The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.

(d) The Government intends to award without discussions. Pursuant to FAR 52.215-1(f) (4), however, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. Additionally, the Government may, after evaluation of initial offers, limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to allow for an efficient competition in accordance with FAR 15.306(c)(2).

An Offeror must be found technically acceptable in each Factor and Subfactor to be considered for award. Any proposal with a rating of 'Unacceptable' or for any Subfactor will result in the appropriate Factor being rated 'Unacceptable'. Any offer rated 'Unacceptable' for any Factor may be ineligible for award, or may be excluded from the competitive range.

The Government will review the information required by the RFP to determine whether the Offeror has met the minimum submission requirements.

All evaluation factors are considered equal in weight. In order to determine the proposal providing the lowest price technically acceptable offer, the following Factors and Subfactors will be considered:

An Unacceptable rating in any technical sub-factor will result in an Unacceptable rating for the technical capability factor. See rating definitions in the chart below:

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 (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 required effort.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

Past performance will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, based on a review of the Past Performance Questionnaires received, PPIRS, and any other information available to evaluate the Offeror’s Past Performance.

Offerors shall submit Reference Information Sheets, Attachment 9, and Past Performance Questionnaires, Attachment 10, in their proposals for past performance evaluation.

The past performance evaluation will assess the Offeror’s probability of meeting the RFP requirements. To develop an overall rating, the Government’s evaluation will take into account information submitted by each Offeror as part of its proposal and the Government’s assessment and evaluation of other sources of information. Other sources of information for past performance may include, but are not limited to, Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) reports, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic

Subcontract Report System (ESRS), other databases, questionnaires and interviews. The following ratings will be used in the past performance evaluation:

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 does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(1) 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).

(2) The Government will consider the company itself, predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience and subcontractors who will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement.

In accordance with FAR 15.305(a) (2) (iv), an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

For each of the contracts the Offeror describes in a Reference Information Sheet, the Offeror is requested to provide a Past Performance Questionnaire to a reference at the organization that awarded the contract. It is requested that the reference, not the Offeror, email or mail the completed Past Performance Questionnaire BEFORE THE DUE DATE FOR PROPOSALS directly to Derek Willis at derek.l.willis@navy.mil or Military Sealift Command, 471 C Street, Naval Station Norfolk, VA 23511-2419 Attn: Derek Willis. Fax submittals will not be considered.

The Offeror, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, is responsible for ensuring that the Government receives a sufficient number of questionnaires.

FACTOR 3: PRICE PROPOSAL

The Government will review the 1449 and Exhibit (A) Rate Table provided by the offeror to evaluate price. The offers will be evaluated using the total evaluated price as calculated by adding all CLINs and should be equal to the total value calculated in Exhibit (A) Rate Table.

Each offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness, and to determine whether pricing is materially unbalanced. Materially unbalanced pricing may cause a proposal to be unacceptable if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

Under the Option to Increase Quantity (FAR 52.217-6), the Government may increase the quantity of supplies called for in the Schedule for an amount up to $6,000,000.00. This amount will be added to the Total Evaluated Price.

Under the Option to Extend Services (FAR 52.217-8), the period of performance shall not exceed six (6) months.

The Option to Extend Services will be calculated by dividing the total FFP amount for the five-year ordering period by 10.

The Total Evaluated Price is equal to the Total Firm-Fixed Price for the 5-year Ordering Period plus the $6,000,000.00 for the Option to Increase Quantity plus the Option to Extend Services (calculated by dividing the total FFP amount for the five-year ordering period by 10).

SOLICITATION COMPLIANCE

The Government will determine the acceptability of each offer on a 'Pass' or 'Fail' basis. The Government will consider an offer to be acceptable when it manifests the offeror’s assent, without exception or imposition of condition, to the terms and conditions of this Request for Proposals (RFP), including attachments and documents incorporated by reference. If an offeror takes exception to any of the terms and conditions of the RFP, impose additional conditions or omit material information required by this RFP, the Government may consider the offer unacceptable. Unacceptable offers can only be corrected through discussions per FAR 15.306(d)). The Government reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the RFP by amendment at any time prior to the source selection decision.
