CAR 1352.213-70 Evaluation Utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures (APR 2010)

The Government intends to award a trade-off, firm fixed price purchase order resulting from this request for quotation to the responsible offeror whose quotation results in the best value to the Government, considering both price and non-price factors with payment terms of Net 30.

The evaluation will consider the Non-Price Technical Solution (Technical Approach, Capability, Experience and Past Performance) to be significantly more important than price. However, as quotes are determined to be more equal in the non-price evaluation factors, price becomes more important.

The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order depending on the quality of the quote(s) submitted and the availability of funds.

The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced vendor or the vendor with the highest technical rating if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government. The Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve only slightly superior performance capability.

The following factors are listed in order of importance and will be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Technical Approach and Capability.

The Offeror’s overall technical approach will be evaluated to assess the Government's level of confidence in the Offeror’s understanding of, approach to, and ability to successfully perform the requirements as described in the Statement of Work. A detailed technical approach write-up describing how the Offeror will perform this service is required to be submitted with the quote regardless of whether a site visit was made or not. The technical approach write-up must not be a reiteration of the Statement of Work, but how your company plans on performing the tasks listed in the attached Statement of Work. (i.e. performance checklists, anticipated number of employees, anticipated hours at the facility and/or confirmation of supplies being provided, etc.)

2. Experience.

The offeror's background, experience, and qualifications (relevant past projects performing similar services, certifications related to current requirement, etc.) will be assessed to determine the likelihood that the offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements. Offeror must have knowledge and experience with wall carpet/sound proofing material removal, wall repair, and wall repainting.

3. Past Performance.

The Offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, cost management, communications between contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. The Government will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation, and the information may be obtained from references provided by the Offeror, the agency’s knowledge of Offeror performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases, and will be based on responsiveness, quality, and customer services. Quote shall include at least two separate references from two separate contracts for similar and relevant services including the phone number, full address, and e-mail address.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive a neutral rating for past performance.

4. Price.

The quoted prices will be evaluated but not scored. The Government will evaluate the price quote for completeness and reasonableness in relation to the RFQ requirements. Quoted prices must be entirely compatible with the Non-Price Technical Solution.

(End of Provision)

CAR 1352.213-71 Instructions for Submitting Quotations Under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold—Non-Commercial (APR 2010)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition is 238320 and $19.0 million.

(b) Submission of quotations. Submit quotations to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. At a minimum, quotations must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(3) Acknowledgment of solicitation amendments;

(4) A technical description showing that the offeror can supply the requirements in the specifications or statement of work in sufficient detail to allow the Government to evaluate the quotation in accordance with the evaluation factors stated in the solicitation.

(5) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and reference information (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information).

(6) Price and any supporting details for the price, as requested in the solicitation.

(c) Offerors are responsible for submitting quotations and any modifications thereto, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified. The offeror's initial quotation should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest quotation; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received.

(End of Provision)

The certification and accreditation requirements of Clause 1352.239-72 do not apply (even though that clause is not included in this order), and a Security Accreditation Package is not required.

CAR 1352.213-70 Evaluation Utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures (Apr 2010)

The Government intends to award a trade-off, firm fixed price purchase order resulting from this request for quotation to the responsible offeror whose quotation results in the best value to the Government, considering both price and non-price factors with payment terms of Net 30.

The evaluation will consider the Non-Price Technical Solution (Technical Approach, Capability, Experience and Past Performance) to be significantly more important than price. However, as quotes are determined to be more equal in the non-price evaluation factors, price becomes more important.

The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order depending on the quality of the quote(s) submitted and the availability of funds.

The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced vendor or the vendor with the highest technical rating if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government. The Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve only slightly superior performance capability.

The following factors are listed in order of importance and will be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Technical Approach and Capability.

The Offeror’s overall technical approach will be evaluated to assess the Government's level of confidence in the Offeror’s understanding of, approach to, and ability to successfully perform the requirements as described in the Statement of Work. A detailed technical approach write-up describing how the Offeror will perform this service is required to be submitted with the quote regardless of whether a site visit was made or not. The technical approach write-up must not be a reiteration of the Statement of Work, but how your company plans on performing the tasks listed in the attached Statement of Work. (i.e. performance checklists, anticipated number of employees, anticipated hours at the facility and/or confirmation of supplies being provided, etc.)

2. Experience.

The offeror's background, experience, and qualifications (relevant past projects performing similar services, certifications related to current requirement, etc.) will be assessed to determine the likelihood that the offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements. Offeror must have knowledge and experience with wall carpet/sound proofing material removal, wall repair, and wall repainting.

3. Past Performance.

The Offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, cost management, communications between contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. The Government will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation, and the information may be obtained from references provided by the Offeror, the agency’s knowledge of Offeror performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases, and will be based on responsiveness, quality, and customer services. Quote shall include at least two separate references from two separate contracts for similar and relevant services including the phone number, full address, and e-mail address.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive a neutral rating for past performance.

4. Price.

The quoted prices will be evaluated but not scored. The Government will evaluate the price quote for completeness and reasonableness in relation to the RFQ requirements. Quoted prices must be entirely compatible with the Non-Price Technical Solution.

(End of Provision)

FAR 52.217-5 Evaluation of Options (Jul 1990)

Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR17.206 (b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

(End of Provision)

This includes options under FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which applies to this solicitation. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services (Nov 1999)

The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 15 days.

(End of clause)

Inclusion of FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, in the solicitation and resultant contract is for…
