CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

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

2021)

(a) The Government will award a firm-fixed priced 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:

Factor 1 – Technical approach. The experience, education, and language expertise of contracted personnel will be evaluated to determine the degree to which they possess the qualifications to perform their proposed duties under the contract.

Sub-factor 1: Prior experience requirement. Approximately five (5) years or more of work experience in international business, government, public relations, public policy, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or a related professional field is preferred. The CRS must be able to develop a working knowledge and relationship with key personnel from the U.S. Embassy and various Djiboutian government ministries and heads of government. Preferred experience includes having a familiarity with the foreign claims process and legal terminology. Prior experience working with international media is preferred, as the CRS will be required to interact with Djiboutian and international media outlets. The contractor shall provide no more than one (1) page summary citing work experience in international business, government, public relations, public policy and, non-government organizations.

Sub-factor 2: Educational requirement. The CRS will hold, at minimum, a Bachelor's degree and preferably an advanced or professional degree. The contractor shall provide necessary documentation (such as college transcripts) to substantiate any significant academic degrees.

Sub-factor 3: Language expertise requirement. The CRS must be able to communicate clearly and effectively on a University degree level (or higher) in written and spoken French and Somali with a minimum of a working proficiency in English. The ability to also speak and understand Djibouti's local languages, including Afar, and Arabic, is preferred. The CRS will be required to translate documents and conversations in the course of performing his/her duties. The contractor shall provide at a minimum any language proficiency certifications.

The quote will be evaluated on how the offeror intends to organize, staff, and manage the contract and the means that will be used to accomplish the contract requirements in accordance with the Capabilities/Excecution plan. The degree to which the quote demonstrates an understanding of the requirements will be evaluated, as well as the offeror's planned management of consultants and subcontractors, if applicable. The offeror’s quote shall be evaluated using a combined technical/risk rating adjectival rating method. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the significant strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings.

Factor 1 – Combined Technical / Risk Rating Method Adjectival Rating Description

Outstanding Quote demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Quote indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength or significant strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Quote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Quote has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable, and/or risk of performance is unacceptably high.

Factor 2 – Past performance. The offeror's background, experience, and qualifications will be assessed to determine the likelihood that that offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements and the degree of the risk of non-performance. The offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, effective management of subcontractors, cost management, level of communication between the contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction.

The Government reserves the right to assess the past performance of proposed subcontractors.

Factor 2 and the sub-factors within shall be prescribed as a “Pass/Fail” gate that the offeror’s quote must meet before advancing further in the offer evaluation process. Receiving a “Fail” in any one of past performance submissions shall result in an overall rating of “Fail” for Factor 2 and the offeror’s quote shall not be evaluated futher.

If an offeror does not have a history of relevant contract experience, or if past performance information is not available, the offeror will receive a neutral past performance rating.

Factor 3 – Price. Price analysis will be conducted.

The Government reserves the right to determine which offers show the capability to meet the requirements of this RFQ.

The Government will award a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) 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.
