10. Provision 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Items (Oct 2014) applies to this acquisition.

Award will be made in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.5 to a responsible quoter who provides a technically acceptable solution at a fair market price and who has acceptable past performance.

(a) The Government may 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:

(i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;

(ii) price;

(iii) past performance, if applicable (see FAR 15.304); justification is required if this is not assessed when the value of the procurement is over the limits set in FAR 15.304(c)(3)(i) and any applicable deviations.

Award shall be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror in LPTA solicitations.

To be considered a technically acceptable solution for a parts procurement, the quoted parts shall meet the solicitation requirements including required parts, delivery dates, and terms and conditions stated in the solicitation. To be considered a technically acceptable solution for a service, the quoted service shall meet the solicitation requirements including terms and conditions stated in the solicitation. The quote shall state that all aspects of the technical requirement, including required delivery date and part numbers, can be met.

If utilized, a past performance evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3)(ii)(C). The Government intends to utilize the Government Wide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for past performance evaluations as a basis for anticipating successful/unsuccessful performance on this required effort. To be considered acceptable for past performance, a search of the PPIRS must reveal no negative past performance information for the recent and relevant records. In the event there are no recent and/or relevant PPIRS records, the quoter may submit information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts. If no recent and relevant contracts are available in PPIRS or submitted by the offeror, 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 either still be in progress or 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 complexity, 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.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. 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 by the Government 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.

15. 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.
