b) May not constitute a new assignment of work or changes to the expressed terms, conditions, or specifications incorporated into this BPA or any BPA call orders issued by the CO or ACOs;

c) Shall not constitute a basis for extension of the BPA / BPA order delivery schedule(s)

Nothing contained in this part authorizes the Contractor(s) to incur costs in excess of the BPA price or other limitations of funds set forth in the BPA due to extra work performed in response to informal directions, suggestions, or instructions (oral or written) given by representatives of the CO, unless prior to commencing such work, the Contractor(s): 1) directly notifies the CO; 2) requests a formal BPA modification; and 3) receives written authorization to proceed from the CO.

Processing Platform) at www.IPP.gov. Contractors must sign up in IPP prior to submitting their first invoice. If the Contractor has an existing IPP username and password from any federal agency that uses IPP, the Contractor must use these to log into IPP and submit an invoice.

FAR 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

• PRICE

(b) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD. This is a competitive best value acquisition utilizing simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13.

Comparative Evaluation. The Government may perform a comparative evaluation (comparing offers to each other) to select the contractor that is best suited and provides the best value, considering the evaluation factors in this solicitation.

(c) PRICE EVALUATION. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness, and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price. Affordability may be controlling in circumstances where two or more offers are evaluated for past performance and the superior offeror is at a cost that the Government cannot afford.

(d) PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Using the past performance questionnaires, the contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information on a minimum of three (3), lowest priced offerors based on the past and present efforts provided by the offeror, and data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Past performance must be recent and relevant.

Recent past performance must include performance that occurred within three (3) years of the solicitation issuance date.

Relevant performance includes performances of efforts involving janitorial services similar to the dollar value and complexity of this solicitation.

In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on past-performed contracts deemed most relevant (similar type, scope, and magnitude) to the effort and services detailed in this solicitation.

Ratings which will be used to measure Past Performance:

ACCEPTABLE - Based on the offeror’s performance record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. The risk to the Government is low.

MARGINAL - Based on the offeror’s performance record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. They may not have relevant experience of the same size/scope of this requirement. The risk to the Government is medium-high.

UNACCEPTABLE - Based on the offeror’s performance record, extreme doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. They have not demonstrated that they have relevant experience of the same size/scope of this requirement, nor have they provided sufficient information to adequately access their work history. The risk to the Government is very high.

Offerors are cautioned to submit past performance in sufficient information. It is also the offeror’s responsibility to make all best attempts to assure that information provided for past performance verification is as current and accurate as possible. Information containing contact names no longer at the location provided, disconnected or changed phone numbers, or any other inaccurate information that hinders verifying past performance information runs the risk of the information not being considered.

Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond.

Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that support a less than satisfactory rating finding or any unfavorable comments received from sources. The Government will use information provided by the offerors and information obtained from other sources.

(e) ADEQUATE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION. Proposals submitted without providing adequate information to perform a technical evaluation shall be deemed unresponsive and not be considered for award.

THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AWARD TO OTHER THAN THE LOW

OFFEROR.
