If the Offeror does not submit the written consent, the Government will address any past performance issues directly with the principal subcontractor or JV Team member and the Offeror will forfeit the opportunity to participate in any related discussions.

The Offeror shall include instructions for the Program Manager to send completed questionnaires within two (2) weeks of its receipt via e-mail to Kieran Connolly, Contract Specialist, at E-mail kieran.m.connolly2.civ@us.navy.mil thereby allowing the customer approximately 2 weeks to complete their response.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

BASIS FOR AWARD:

This solicitation is set aside for 100% Small Business. Award of the contract resulting from this solicitation will be made to the responsible offeror whose quote is one that conforms to requirements set forth in the solicitation (i.e., meets all minimum mandatory requirements specified in the Statement of Work/ Performance Work Statement (SOW/PWS)), has an Acceptable past performance assessment rating and offers the lowest price.

The contractor shall fully read and meet all conditions and submit all required documentation as set forth in the buy package/ bid documents requirements and complete those requirements in full.

In addition, as a minimum, simultaneously with their bid the contractor shall also submit the following but not limited to separate detailed technical documents addressing the following items:

List of relevant and recent completed project references, showing that the contractor and any sub companies have mechanics with experience and are technically proficient in this specific type of required work. Said list shall provide as a minimum a point of contact person (POC) with POC’s full name, email, title, company & department name, phone number, address, email and a detail description on the work performed.

Compliance with this scope of work by all sub-contractors shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor.

A detailed capability statement must be provided showing that the contractor and any sub-contractors are competent to perform this required work. The following information as a minimum shall be provided in the company’s Capability Statement: Name and company branding, slogan (if any) summary description of the company; Core Capabilities; Description of major services offered; Federal Small Business Certifications; Contract Vehicles in which you participate (Federal and State); State Certifications document that records the individual and organizational achievements, competencies, and the business accreditations, letters of recommendations.

Provide detailed manufacturer’s cut sheets, shop submittal of the product(s), specifications and manufacturers information ensuring full compliance with the statement of work and bid documents requirements.

This solicitation is for items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Part 36. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) in accordance with FAR 13.106. Written quotes are required (oral offers will not be accepted). Submission of quotes must be in accordance with “Instructions to Offerors”. The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract. Since award of the Firm Fixed Price contract will be based on initial responses, offerors are highly encouraged to quote their most advantageous pricing in their initial response. Award of the contract will be made using the Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(1).

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from award consideration any or all quotes at any time prior to award of the contract(s) that do not conform to the solicitation and to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range.

The Government intends to evaluate the quotes and award the Firm Fixed Price contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)), but the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

BASIS FOR EVALUATION:

(i) Basis of Evaluation of Price: The Government will evaluate price per Item No(s) to determine fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. In accordance with FAR 13.106-3 before making award the contracting officer must determine the proposed price is fair and reasonable. The contracting officer may, whenever possible, base price reasonableness on competitive quotations or offers.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation of Past Performance: Each Offeror will be evaluated on its past performance based on recent and relevant contracts or subcontracts currently ongoing or completed within the last three (3) years for similar efforts. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to size and complexity of the procurement under consideration and relevance of the performance to the requirements of the SOW of the solicitation. Sources other than those identified by the Offeror may be contacted by the Government. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation:

· Recency of the past performance, which will only consider work performed within three (3) years of the solicitation release date in relation to the functional area being proposed to

· Relevancy of the Past Performance, which will consider similarity of scope in terms of requirements within the statement of work in relation to the functional area being proposed to

· Quality of the recent, relevant, past performance, which will focus on requirements, schedule, managing the effort being proposed to

A separate quality rating will not be assigned. However, a past performance assessment rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable will be based on the Offeror’s overall record of past performance taking into account the recency, relevancy, and quality of performance.

Sources of past performance evaluation information include information provided by the Offeror in response to the solicitation, information obtained from questionnaires, and any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information Systems, Electronic Subcontract Reporting System, or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

III. DEFINITIONS

A. EVALUATION RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings: More relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance assessment rating than past performance of lesser relevance.

The Government will employ the Performance Assessment Rating Method described in the table below.

NOTE: In the case of an Offeror 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 Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. 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."

Deviations from the RFQ minimum/maximum requirements are NOT allowed and the Offeror’s quote for that Item No that deviates from the RFQ will be determined non-responsive and not eligible for award.

AWARD OF CONTRACT

In accordance with FAR 13.004 (Legal effect of quotations) the Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract, to to the responsible offeror whose quote is one that conforms to requirements set forth in the solicitation (i.e., meets all minimum mandatory requirements specified in the SOW/PWS), has an Acceptable past performance assessment rating and offers the lowest price.

The RFQ does not commit the Government to make any award. The Government may cancel or resolicit this RFQ or any part of it at any time. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to reject any and all quotations and to waive any information, or minor irregularities in quotations received.

A written notice of award, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the 60 day window for quote validity, 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.
