Your Reps and Certs must include the NAICS applicable to this solicitation document and indicate your organization’s business size status.

Per 13 CFR 121.106 – If the size determination is based on the number of employees, the method for determining business size status is based on the average number of employees of the concern (including part-time and full-time employees of its domestic and foreign affiliates), which is based upon the number of employees for each of the pay periods for the preceding completed 12 calendar months. [Additional definition is available by searching 13CFR121 at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html]

1. Collective Bargaining Agreements: The contractor is required to submit all CBAs applicable to the facility providing service to the requirement location(s). The CBA must be signed and final. If the CBA is currently in negotiation, submit an unsigned copy with the offer; however, the final CBA must be submitted as soon as signed.

2. Quotes/Proposals are to be submitted via email no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on June 29, 2016.

The complete quote/proposal, with authorized representative’s signature, must be received by the closing date and time.

3. The offeror’s Quote/Proposal shall address the following information:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability

a. Submission Requirements: The offeror must be able to provide on-site performance in all areas of the PWS.

b. Government’s Minimum Requirement: The Offeror will be evaluated to determine its capability of providing service on all areas contained in the Performance Work Statement.

The offeror’s proposal shall be evaluated against the minimum requirements to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions in the table below.

Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

http://www.sam.gov/ http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html

Factor 2 – Past Performance

a. Submission Requirements: The offeror shall provide three references to obtain past performance from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition from the last three years.

b. Government’s Minimum Requirement: The evaluation of past performance will be rated on an

“acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis after considering relevant facts and circumstances.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable 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 Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable 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. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered

“acceptable.”

Factor -3 Price

a. Government’s Minimum Requirement: For award purposes, the Government will evaluate price for each CLIN by adding together the evaluated price from the associated Sub CLINs for the base and the option periods. Evaluation of the option periods will not obligate the Government to exercise the option. The evaluated price per CLIN will be used as the award amount in the resultant award. Price analysis will be used to determine the total evaluated price to support the selection of the lowest price, technically acceptable offeror.

b. The total offered price will be determined by adding the price for the basic requirements to the price for all options.

4. To be considered for award, contractor must comply with the following:

a. Complete Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) pricing.

b. Be registered in www.SAM.gov and have completed the applicable representations and certifications for this requirement and NAICS.

c. Return the completed combined synopsis solicitation via email to Tammie. Lett-Chalmers@dcma.mil. Any quotes received after the appointed time will be late and may not be considered for award.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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 item offered to meet the Government requirement; (ii) price; (iii) past performance

(see FAR 15.304).

Technical and past performance, when combined, more important than price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(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.
