52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(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:

Past Performance (Best Value Tradeoff)” or “Best Value Tradeoff considering Past Performance”. The Government will award on the basis of price unless Contracting Officer is aware of past performance information related to the low price quote which indicates that quote may not represent best value. In that case, the Government reserves the right to consider the past performance of other quotes, conduct a price, past performance tradeoff, and award to other than the lowest price quote.

Evaluation Factors

1) Past Performance

2) Price

1. Evaluation of Past Performance Information (PPI) Contractor shall provide three (3) past performance records (Attachment (II)), which include sufficient information to determine the Recency, Relevancy, and Quality of the work performed for the same or similar services/supplies. That were provided to the general public, the U.S. Government, and/or the Government of Japan (including Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF)) within the past three (3) years.

The extent of PPI required by this acquisition is set forth in the solicitation. PPI will not be considered if it is not related to the services/supplies called for by this solicitation.

NOTE: In the case of a quoter without a record of 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 quoter 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 (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

In assigning the Past Performance Rating, the Government will evaluate the Recency, Relevancy, and Quality of Past Performance Information:

Recency In order to be determined Recent, PPI shall be for work completed within three years from the date the solicitation was issued. PPI determined to be not within the Recency threshold will not be evaluated further.

Relevancy In order to be determined Relevant, PPI shall be for work that is same or similar supplies/services as described in the specification for this solicitation. The PPI may be for work provided to the general public, the U.S. Government, and/or the Government of Japan. PPI determined to be not within the Relevancy threshold will not be evaluated further.

Quality of Products or Services In order to determine the Quality of PPI, the Government will review responses to questionnaires sent to the quoter’s customers, and any other source of PPI available to the Government evaluators. The Government’s evaluation will consider the following areas;

1. Quality of services: Determine if the quoter has complied with contract requirements in terms of standards of good workmanship and services.

2. Timeliness of performance: Determine if the…
