Subfactor 1: Past Experience: The submitted past experience evidence will be evaluated on the evidence of at least two (2) festivals/trade fairs/fun fairs/events (or the past experience of a joint venture/teaming partner or key subcontractor being intended to perform the solicited service, or instances where the offeror performed as key personnel or a key subcontractor) entirely within the previous five (5) years from the issuance date of this notice, where the offeror is/was responsible for providing electrical support for festivals/trade fairs/fun fairs/events.

Subfactor 2: Contractor employees shall comply with all Facharbeiter-Brief-Elektro standards and certifications. Copies of employee certifications for each employee performing under this agreement shall be provided.

Factor 3 – Past Performance.

The following ratings will be applied:

RATING:

Acceptable: DEFINITION: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable: DEFINITION: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Offerors must receive an "Acceptable" rating to receive an award. The standard for an "Acceptable" past performance rating is met when recent and relevant past performance information as defined in paragraph (b) (10) of the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, and as outlined below is rated as "Acceptable" for overall performance (question #15, section D.) on the Past Performance Questionnaire(s) submitted by the commercial customer/contracting activity.

Past Performance information may be obtained, but not limited to, the following sources:

a. Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs)

(i) Offerors shall provide evidence of at least two (2) references demonstrating recent and relevant past performance by completing sections B. and C. of the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Atch 5, to the solicitation. Submit one PPQ for each referenced contract. "Recent" is defined as entirely within the past five (5) years from the issuance date of the solicitation, where the offeror (or subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, or instances where the offeror performed as key personnel or a key subcontractor) is/was responsible for the performance of relevant service contracts.

"Relevant" is defined as the providing of electrical support services for festivals/trade fairs/fun fairs/events.

(ii) Each Past Performance reference should include:

(A) Name of Commercial Customer or Contracting Activity;

(B) Point of Contact (POC) Name, Valid Phone Number and Valid Email Address;

Upon completion of the questionnaires, these shall be returned directly from the referenced commercial customer and/or contracting activity by email to beatrice.meier.1.de@us.af.mil and claudia.ledig.de@us.af.mil. Offerors are responsible to ensure that their reference sources receive, complete, and return the questionnaires to the 700th Contracting Squadron. It is the offeror's responsibility to ensure all questionnaires are forwarded to the 700th Contracting Squadron by 1500 hrs (0300 p.m.) CEST on 2 May 2022. A listing of the references the PPQs were provided to shall be submitted with the quotation. Please note that the same contracts used as evidence for past performance may also be used for past experience.

Note: In 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 (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."

Award Process:

The Government intends to make multiple awards in the form of Blanket Purchase Agreements based on best value. The Agency reserves the right to make up to three (3) awards based on the capacity of each vendor to meet the minimum requirements of this request for quote beginning with the offeror with the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotation with acceptable past performance. In such case, the two next-lowest offerors with an acceptable technical capability and acceptable past performance rating will also be given the opportunity to be an awardee at their quoted price. The Government intends to award without discussions, but reserves the right to hold discussions at any point during the evaluation. The evaluation process is as follows:

1. The Government will rank the offerors from lowest to highest price.

2. Next, a technical and past performance evaluation will be performed beginning with the three lowest priced offerors. Evaluations will stop when three offerors are determined to be acceptable for both past experience and past performance. Only those offerors with an acceptable rating for past experience and past performance, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award.

3. A fair and reasonable determination will be made for the three lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotes with acceptable past performance.
