(b) Offerors are cautioned that the government could elect to award a contract without discussion therefore, initial quotes should represent the best possible effort.

(c) Any resultant contract shall include the general contract provisions and contract clauses applicable to the selected offeror's organization and type of contract awarded.

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

QUOTES SHALL BE EVALUATED USING THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

(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 two (2) following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE

In evaluating Contractors past performance, the Government intends to review U.S. Navy and other agencies’ Contractor Performance Assessment Reports in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and reports submitted to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). General trends in a Contractor’s performance will also be considered.

The past performance evaluation will take into account the guidelines outlined at FAR 15.305(a)(2) Past Performance Evaluation. The Contractor’s past performance will be evaluated based on Past Performance Quality Ratings. Below is the Past Performance matrix used to evaluate contractor performance:

Past Performance Quality Ratings

The Government shall consider this information, as well as information obtained from any other sources, when evaluating the offeror’s past performance. The offeror is further reminded that the Government shall determine the relevance of past performance information. One of the following relevancy ratings will be assigned to each contract reviewed:

PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY RATINGS

FACTOR 2 – PRICE

Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the request for quotes. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness.

(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 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.

The total evaluated price of the offeror will be determined by totaling the proposed prices of all the Definite Items, plus the composite labor hour extended total, plus lay days, and foreseeable costs.

(1) DEFINITE ITEMS: These are the items, which, if there is an award at all, will be awarded. The quote shall be evaluated to include the price for each definite item.

(2) OPTIONAL ITEMS: These are the items, which, if there is an award at all, will be awarded upon completion of open and inspect. The proposal shall be evaluated to include the price for each option item.

(3) COMPOSITE LABOR HOUR RATE: The offer shall be evaluated to include the offer price for the Composite Labor Hour Rate multiplied by the estimated quantity of hours.

(End of Provision)

ADDENDA to FAR 52.212-2, EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEM

The quality of past performance and relevance of experience to the Navy will be evaluated. The ability to manage and maintain a qualified workforce will be considered. Customer satisfaction will be an integral consideration. In evaluating past performance the Government will consider contracts performed during the last 3 years. Emphasis will be placed upon the contractor’s administration of the contractual responsibilities. For example:

(1) Adequacy of contract start up.

(2) Performance in accordance with proposed method of performance.

(3) Sufficiency of proposed personnel to perform contract.

(4) Filling of key positions with qualified individuals.

(5) Quality performance of work.

(6) Response to emergency situations.

(7) Schedule adherence (including administrative aspects of performance.)

(8) Responsiveness to Government requirements.

(9) Performance in accordance with contract requirements.

(10 Customer satisfaction.

(11) Complete submittals.

(12) Timely delivery of paperwork.

(13) Timely and accurate invoice submittals

(14) Quality of drawings.

(15) Knowledge of Customer Requirements and Expectations.

(16) Management and cost control of subcontracts

Additionally, unofficial past performance information (PPI) may be submitted directly to the Contract Specialist from offeror’s prior customers via customer questionnaires, see Attachment (13), PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE (PPQ). The Contracting Officer will not interpret or otherwise construe the final customer ratings – they will be taken at face value. However, greater legitimacy will be conferred on relevant, well-documented official federal reports since such reports will demonstrate that the assessor has justified his/her ratings.

Consistent with FAR 15.306(a) & (b), offerors may provide information on adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to comment.

Prior to a contract being awarded a Pre-Award Survey may be conducted by the US Navy Quality Assurance Team. The survey is used as an indication of whether a contractor has the qualifications to do the work and that the contractor’s facilities are certified under US Navy specifications.
