Offerors are cautioned against restating the SOW requirements in their offers, particularly with regard to technical requirements. Statements such as "the offeror understands", and "the offeror shall/can comply", along with responses that paraphrase the RFQ, are inadequate.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

1. BASIS FOR AWARD

(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:

1.1 The award resulting from this solicitation will be a single firm fixed price contract. This is a small business set-aside, using a best value trade-off methodology. The basis for award of a contract will be an integrated assessment by the Contracting Officer of the results of the evaluation based on the evaluation factors and their importance as indicated below. The integrated assessment will include consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of the offers. The Government reserves such right of flexibility in conducting the evaluation as is necessary to assure placement of a contract is in the Government's best interest. Accordingly, the Government may award to other than the lowest price offeror, or other than the offeror with the highest technical rating.

1.2 To be eligible for award, the offeror must fully comply with the statement of work, and address all solicitation requirements. As such, offers that take exception to any term or condition of this solicitation, propose any additional term or condition, or omit any required information, may not be considered for award.

Alternate proposals are NOT authorized and will be rejected. An offeror must propose in accordance with the directions set forth in the “Instruction to Offerors” to be considered for award. Additionally, prior to award, a responsibility determination will be made in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 and will take into consideration the information submitted by the offeror and information obtained from other resources.

The Government intends to award based on initial submissions. 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 enter into discussions with Offerors if it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the Government’s best interest.

1.3 Relative Weights

1.3.1 Factor I (Technical Approach) and Factor II (Past Performance Confidence) are listed in descending order of importance. When combined, the non-cost factors [Factor I (Technical Approach) and Factor II (Past Performance Confidence), are significantly more important than Factor III (Cost). A rating of “Unacceptable” in any factor will render the entire proposal ineligible for award. There are two sub-factors under Factor I (Technical). These two sub-factors shall be used to establish an overall rating for Factor I. An unacceptable in any sub-factor will result in an overall Factor I rating of Unacceptable, rendering the entire proposal ineligible for award. The sub-factors are listed in descending order of importance:

a. Sub-factor (1) Management/ Staffing Plan

b. Sub-factor (2) Resumes

1.3.2 Award will be made to that offeror whose proposal contains the combination of those criteria offering the best overall value to the government. In making this comparison, the government is more concerned with obtaining superior Technical Approach (Factor I), Past Performance Confidence (Factor II), than Cost (Factor III). However, the Government may not make an award at a significantly higher cost to the Government to achieve slightly superior technical approach or past performance.

2. EVALUATION OF OFFERS

The Government will assess the Offeror’s Technical Approach with respect to its compliance with the solicitation requirements and the risk associated with the Offeror's approach through the assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies.

a. Sub-Factor (1) Management/ Staffing Plan:

1. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s submission to determine the Offeror’s understanding of, approach to, and ability to meet the solicitation requirements based on the information provided as required by INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS. The contractor’s technical information will be used to determine whether the items or services proposed meet or exceed the requirements/ salient characteristics included in the SOW.

b. Sub-Factor (2) Resumes:

2.1 The Government will evaluate resumes to determine the Offeror’s ability to provide qualified personnel.

2.2 Technical Approach Grading Criterion:

The Government shall evaluate Technical Approach using the following adjectival ratings:

Combined Technical/ Risk rating

Rating

Description

Outstanding

Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good

Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one 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/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

2.3 Unacceptable Rating. Any offeror receiving a score of “unacceptable” in a factor or any sub-factor will render the entire proposal ineligible for award.

B. Factor II – Past Performance Grading Criteria There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate each contractor’s past performance for relevancy to the proposed effort. The second is to determine the Government’s confidence level regarding future performance, based on each contractor’s past performance.

1. Relevance. Past performance on current and recent contracts (within the last 3 years) that are more technically relevant to the customer’s mission and program performance requirements, and similar in size, scope and complexity will receive greater consideration than performance on contracts that are less relevant.

1.1 Grading Criteria for “Past Performance Relevancy.” To determine how relevant each recent effort accomplished by the contractor is, the government will evaluate each past performance action, and rate each action using the following table below:

Past Performance Relevancy Rating

Definition

Very Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

2. Performance Confidence Assessment. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts in the past (including at a minimum customer service, quality of work, schedule, delivery of services) and what level of confidence the government can place in the contractor’s future performance under the proposed effort.

The government will evaluate vendors’ past performance for the following:

• Extent of client satisfaction with previous performance

• Reasonable and cooperative behavior in dealing with clients

• Quality of previously performed services

• Effectiveness in meeting schedules and providing services or products

2.1 Grading Criteria for “Performance Confidence Assessment:” To determine the confidence level, each past performance action will be evaluated and rated using the following ratings:

Performance Confidence Assessment

Description

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 has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the

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 has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the

In the case of a vendor for whom information on past performance is not available, the government will not evaluate the vendor favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Such vendor will receive a Neutral rating for past performance. The government intends to verify past performance information on contracts listed by the Offerors. The Government may contact some or all of the references. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. The Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) will be accessed to locate recent and relevant information.

C. Factor III– Price:

The Government will evaluate quotations for price completeness, and price reasonableness. A price reasonableness determination will be made using the price analysis techniques identified in FAR 15.404-1 as deemed appropriate.
