(a) The Government will 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:

Quoters shall submit quotes:

Technical Quotes/Explanation

Past Performance

Price Quote – Should be submitted separate from Technical and Past Performance.

Award shall be made to the responsible, lowest priced technically acceptable offeror with acceptable past performance. To be considered a technically acceptable solution for a parts/equipment procurement, the quoted parts/equipment shall meet the solicitation requirements including required parts/equipment, delivery dates, and terms and conditions stated in the solicitation. Please make sure you address all of the requirements in the mailto:timothy.lewis6@navy.mil

Procurement Specification by explaining how you are meeting the requirements in the Procurement Specification and by providing proof/evidence that you are meeting those requirements.

Past Performance Quoters are requested to provide information on up to three (3) previous Government/Commercial contracts whose effort is/was recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation.

a. “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last three (3) years. If the quoter has not had three (3) Government contracts within the last three (3) years, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

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

i. Scope: Experience in the areas defined in Procurement Specification.

ii. Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the quoter’s submitted contracts to the Procurement Specification.

iii. Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of efforts and disciplines performed by the quoter in its submitted contracts to the Procurement Specification. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the quoter be considered, but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

A Past Performance Data Sheet (Attachment 2) is requested to be submitted for each contract to be considered as past performance. Quoters shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts to the requirements of this solicitation; a detailed description of the work performed for the contract; and the role performed, including whether the quoter acted as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. Quoters are responsible for the accuracy of all data provided. Past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience and subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement may be provided as past performance submissions.

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

Procurement Specification. “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 Procurement Specification. 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.
