7) Contract Award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2- EVALUATION-COMMECIAL PRODUCTS AND

COMERCIAL SERVICES

(a) The government will award a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract, as a result of this solicitation, to the offeror who represents the best value to the Government. Award of this contract will be made on a competitive best value basis, using a Performance-Price Tradeoff methodology. All factors and sub-factors will affect contract award. Factor 1 (Technical) and Factor 2 (Past Performance), when combined, are more important than Factor 3 (Price); however, Factor 3 is relevant. First, the Government will evaluate all technical proposals and assign an overall “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” rating. Second, for proposals deemed acceptable under the Technical factor, the Government will assign a single past performance confidence rating based on the assessment of offeror’s past performance. Lastly, the Government will rank all “Acceptable” rated offerors by the performance confidence rating and then by the total evaluated price. Only proposals with a technical rating of “Acceptable” or better and performance confidence rating of “Neutral Confidence” or better will be considered for award. Any proposal with an overall “Unacceptable” rating will be eliminated from competition. The Government intends to award to the highest performance confidence rated, technically acceptable offeror at the best price for the requirement.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR 1: Technical Capability Sub-factor 1: Staffing/Key Personnel Sub-factor 2: Operations Sub-factor 3: Training Sub-factor 4: IT/Security FACTOR 2: Past Performance FACTOR 3: Price

FACTOR 1: Technical Capability- The Government will review the offeror’s technical proposal, as well as the labor mix provided in the pricing sheet, to assess proposed level of effort.

In addition, the Government will review the technical proposal ensure competency with respect to the each sub-factor. The technical rating will be issued with consideration of risk in conjunction with the significant strengths, strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, and deficiencies in accordance with DoD Source Selection Procedures, dated August 20, 2022.

Technical sub-factors must receive an adjectival rating of Acceptable or higher (Table A-1) to be considered for award; a rating of Unacceptable under any sub-factor renders the entire proposal Unacceptable and ineligible for award. All sub-factors are equal in importance to each other.

Table A-1 Combined Technical/Risk Rating Adjectival

Ratings Descriptions

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

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

Unacceptable Proposal 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.

The following definitions are provided in accordance with FAR 15.001 and the DoD Source Selection Procedures:

Significant strength: an aspect of an Offeror’s proposal with appreciable merit or will exceed specified performance or capability requirements to the considerable advantage of the Government during contract performance.

Strength: an aspect of an offeror's proposal with merit or will exceed specified performance or capability requirements to the advantage of the Government during contract performance.

Significant Weakness: a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Weakness: a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Deficiency: a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

The technical subfactors that establish the requirements of acceptability are hereby set forth in this solicitation as follows:

a. Sub-factor 1- Staffing/Key Personnel: The proposal must demonstrate an adequate approach to staffing personnel for the scope of work required and include a staffing matrix/recruiting plan that will ensure achievement of task objectives in accordance with PWS Part 5. The staffing matrix/recruiting plan shall illustrate how the personnel expected to work under the resulting contract meets the special qualifications in Attachment 3-Qualifications. The plan must also include a brief summary of experience (6-8 bullets) outlining their education and experience in accordance with PWS Part 5 and shall be no more than ten (10) pages in length. Summaries shall provide for each personnel expected to work under the resulting contract. Letters of intent are required for personnel not employed with the prime offeror and is an employee of a proposed subcontractor, teaming partner or outside entity of the prime. Personnel expected to work under the resulting contract must be available at the time of award.

b. Sub-factor 2- Operations: The proposal must demonstrate an adequate approach to achieving the objectives and scope of work required in accordance with PWS Part 1. The offeror’s proposal must exemplify experience in supporting and implementing HIV/AIDS prevention programs, assisting/aiding foreign militaries and U.S. Government programs on a global scale and providing consulting services in support of PEPFAR, at a minimum. Because this program supports foreign militaries with their prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS during normal and contingency efforts, travel to austere and insecure environments is required.

Familiarity with DoD travel requirements is essential. The proposal must illustrate an understanding of the other direct costs incurred in order to meet performance objectives. The proposal must also incorporate an effective quality control plan to ensure services provided under contract are delivered.

c. Sub-factor 3- Training: The proposal must demonstrate an adequate approach to initiating and completing all mandatory training required to perform under the resulting contract. This includes both DoD and DHA-directed training in accordance with PWS 1.9, 1.11.2., 3.4.1, 5 and6.3. Personnel will acquire and maintain training, as required, for the duration of the contract.

d. Sub-factor 4- IT/Security: The proposal must demonstrate an adequate approach and understanding of the information technology and security requirements in accordance with PWS Part 6. All personnel expected to perform under the resulting contract are subject to a background investigation in accordance with PWS 1.17.1 and initiate a DD Form 2875 to obtain access to the DoD network and applications. In addition, the offerors proposal must illustrate having knowledge or familiarity with all DoD policies, manuals, instructions, and procedures as they relate to information systems, software, and security. The proposal shall also identify company protocols in place to maintain and protect sensitive Government information.

FACTOR 2: Past Performance- The offeror shall submit no more than three (3) past performance references. Past performance references may be those of the offeror, combination of references of the offeror and/or the offeror’s proposed subcontractors and/or teaming partners.

The Government will assess the offeror's present and past performance that meets the recency and relevancy criteria. Recent is defined as services ongoing for a least 6 months and performed within the past three (3) years whether as the prime or subcontractor. Relevant is defined as work similar in size, scope and complexity of the work being requested. The past performance reference should include a contract#, dollar value, period of performance, name of prime/sub-contractor/or teaming partner, technical POC, relevant description of the services provided and performance rating, if applicable. Subcontractor past performance consent forms are required to be included in the past performance volume (Attachment 4). Past performance concerning subcontractors/teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the sub/teaming partner’s consent. Because the prime is considered private party, the Government will need that consent before exchanges with the Government and prime.

The recency and relevancy of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the contractor’s performance will be considered. Using the rating and descriptions outlined in the DoD Source Selection Procedures dated August 20, 2022, the government will assign an adjectival performance confidence rating as identified in Table A-2.

Table A-2 Past Performance Rating

Adjectival Ratings Descriptions

Substantial Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available, or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

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 (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror will be determined to have an unknown (or neutral) past performance and considered acceptable. In the context of confidence rating, a neutral rating shall be considered “Neutral Confidence”.

Past performance information may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases, if necessary.

FACTOR 3: Price- In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(1), price will be evaluated for the one-year base, plus four, one-year option periods to include the six-month extension period. All CLINS are Firm-fixed Price, to include travel. Proposed pricing in the Excel pricing sheet (Attachment 2) shall include a completed Summary (Tab 1) and CLIN breakdown (Tab 2), which provides a fully loaded labor rate for each labor category being offered. Offerors shall propose on all contract line items. A line-item price left blank will be considered nonresponsive to this request and the offer may not be considered for award. Offers shall remain valid for a minimum of 180 days from the date of submission.

Option (Extension Provision) price: In accordance with FAR 52.217-8, OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES (NOV 1999), the Government has the unilateral right to extend any resulting contract under the same terms and conditions for a total of not more than six months. To account for the option period(s) possible under 52.217-8, the Government will evaluate the option to extend by adding six months of Offeror’s performance period to the Offeror’s total price, if not included in price proposal. The method for evaluating the extension is to multiply an additional six months of requirements by the offered monthly price of the last option period. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The Government intends to award without discussions. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, emailed 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, whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
