52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

Evaluation Factors for Award

A. Basis for Contract Award

1. This is a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Navy Marine Corps Acquisition Regulation Supplement (NMCARS). Award will be made to the lowest priced offeror deemed responsible under FAR 9.104, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, whose proposal obtains a technical proposal rating of acceptable, whose proposal obtains a past performance proposal rating of acceptable, and whose proposal offers a total evaluated price determined fair and reasonable.

2. Trade-offs between price and non-price factors is not permitted. Unreasonably high, unbalanced, inaccurate, or incomplete price proposals may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition.

B. Award for Work. The Government intends to award one firm-fixed price contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers received for anything less than the complete scope of work detailed in the solicitation will be considered ineligible for award. As set forth in FAR Clause 52.212-1(g), the

Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contract(s) without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), Clarifications and award without discussions). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the

Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In the event that discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

C. Evaluation Criteria

1. Evaluation criteria consist of factors and subfactors. The proposals will be evaluated under three (3) evaluation factors:

a. Factor 1 – Technical

I. Subfactor A – Understanding of Requirements

II. Subfactor B – Related Organizational Experience

b. Factor 2 – Past Performance

c. Factor 3 – Price

VI. Developing, implementing and maintaining an Information Technology laboratory for developing and sustaining Department of Navy (DoN) accredited systems and networks.

VII. Developing and implementing an IT service management (ITSM) program capable of supporting Change Management (CM), Service

Asset Configuration Management (SACM) and Service Validation &

Testing (SV&T).

The technical factor and each subfactor will receive one (1) of the adjectival ratings defined below.

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation

In order to receive an acceptable subfactor rating, the subfactor submission must meet all of the requirements stated for that subfactor. In order to receive an acceptable technical factor rating, all subfactors must be rated acceptable.

3. Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor. The past performance evaluation will assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. To develop an overall rating, the Government’s evaluation will take into account relevant information submitted by each offeror as part of its proposal and the Government’s assessment and evaluation of other sources of information. Offerors are cautioned that the Government may use data provided in the offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other sources. 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), and other databases, questionnaires, and interview

a. The Government will consider the recency and relevancy of past performance information compared to the requirements detailed in the solicitation, the source of the information, the context of the data and general trends in the offeror’s performance and any associated risk.

I. To be considered recent, the effort must be on-going or must have been completed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

II. To be considered relevant, the recent effort must cover a majority of the tasks identified in the PWS under the complexity of a contract vehicle requiring a broad range of tasks at multiple sites. Cumulative simultaneous contracts may be considered in the absence of one (1) relevant contract vehicle.

b. 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/deliverables; (c) management; and (d) regulatory compliance.

c. The Government will consider the company itself, predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience and subcontractor who will perform major or critical aspects of the requirements.

d. The Government reserves the right to consider Past Performance Questionnaires received after the due date for receipt of proposals. The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information and the right to consider other relevant past performance information. The Government may call customers, whether or not provided by the offeror, to inquire about the offeror’s past performance. The

Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problem it finds with the information provided by the offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror.

e. Assigning Ratings. The past performance factor will be assigned one (1) of the ratings defined below.

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

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 be able to successfully perform the required effort.

In the case of an offeror without 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”.

4. Factor 3 – Price Factor. Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one (1) or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b).

Unbalanced pricing may be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk which could result in unreasonably high prices. Through these techniques, the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete, and balanced. The total evaluated price will be taken from the

“total evaluated price” cell on the summary tab on the Price Proposal Spreadsheet.

As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services

(see FAR clause 52.217-8) by adding six (6) months to the offeror’s final calendar year price to the offeror’s total price. Offerors are required to price the base and four (4) calendar years to follow. Offerors shall also submit a price for the potential six (6) month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of

Services at the end of any performance period (base or calendar years), utilizing rates of that performance period.

Definitions:

Reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.

Completeness/Accuracy. The offeror’s proposal is in compliance with the Price

Volume instructions in the solicitation.
