Offerors must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation. The response shall consist of three (3) separate parts, Part I – Technical Approach, Part II – Pricing, and Part III – Past Performance.

I. Technical: The offeror must submit a technical approach that clearly demonstrates a complete and realistic plan that meets the requirements in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Additionally, offeror must submit a mission essential plan.

II. Price: Quoted prices must be submitted using the Pricing Worksheet (Attachment 2) with pricing rounded to the nearest cent (for example $0.02 not $0.0231).

III. Past Performance: The contractor may submit no more than three (3) past performance references. References should be for services similar in scope and magnitude to this requirement that have occurred in the last three years prior to the closing date of the solicitation. References for past performance shall include a point of contact, their phone number, email address, name of the company, contract number (if applicable), initial contract cost and period of performance.

Evaluation of past performance will also include past performance information obtained from any suitable source, such as CPARS, PPIRS, direct local business experience with the offeror, or similar.

Technical (Factor I) is significantly more important than Price (Factor II) and Past Performance (Factor III).

Addendum to FAR 52.212-1(c), Period for Acceptance of Offers. The paragraph is tailored as follows: “The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 120 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.”

12. The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (Nov 2021) applies to this acquisition.

FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation, (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:

(i) Technical capability of the services offered meets the Government requirement;

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed 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 (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of provision)

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2(a), Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Technical: The offeror must submit their technical approach that clearly demonstrates how they are able to meet/accomplish all the requirements in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Price: Evaluation of price will consider the total of the annual prices for all contract years (base plus all options, including a possible six-month extension), with each year’s price evaluated as the sum of the prices of all contract line items (CLINs) for that year. Each CLIN price will be evaluated as the quantity multiplied by the unit price, rounded to the nearest cent. A potential six-month extension IAW the clause FAR 52.217-8 will be evaluated at the pricing of the final option year divided by two. In the event of an extension under this clause, it will be exercised at the prices of the prior contract year.

Past Performance: The contractor may submit no more than three (3) past performance references. References should be for services similar in scope and magnitude to this requirement that have occurred in the last three years prior to the closing date of the solicitation. References for past performance shall include a point of contact, their phone number, email address, name of the company, contract number (if applicable), contract cost and period of performance(s).

Evaluation of past performance will also include past performance information obtained from any suitable source, such as CPARS, PPIRS, direct local business experience with the offeror, or similar.

Basis for Contract Award: This is a competitive best value in which quotes will be evaluated were Technical Factor is significantly more important than Price and Past Performance Factors.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable.

Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

a) The technical evaluators will review Technical approach and will determine whether the Offeror’s technical approach is acceptable or unacceptable, in accordance with the PWS.

Rating Description Acceptable The offeror submitted a technical approach that clearly demonstrates how they are able to meet/accomplish all the requirements in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Unacceptable The offeror did not provide a complete and realistic plan IAW PWS.

b) The technical evaluators will review recent and relevant past performance information provided by the offeror and data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources.

Relevant past performance includes performance of efforts involving services that involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Satisfactory Confidence or better.

In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.
