Notice to Contractors - CPARS (DEC 2015)

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (December 2015)

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the 6.evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should a)provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting "Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation".

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as "Pending" with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

Vendors are required to submit both a written Technical Quote and Price Quote to Government officials for the purposes of acquiring services from the Contractor that is fully cognizant of the scope of this requirement and has the capability to complete all requirements described in the solicitation. Quotes which merely state to conduct a program in accordance with the requirements of the Government's scope of work will not be eligible for award.

Only one award will be made as a result of this RFQ. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award an order without contacting vendors. However, the Government reserves the right to contact one or more vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

1. Solicitation Inquiries and Questions

The government points of contact are Mary Carver, Contracting Officer, MARY_CARVER@IBC.DOI.GOV and Joseph Lorelli, Contract Specialist, joseph_lorelli@ibc.doi.gov.

All questions regarding this RFQ shall be submitted via email no later than 3:00 PM ET on June 18, 2021 to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist.

2. Quote Submission

Quotes must be submitted to the government points of contact via email on or before the date and time in Block 8 of the SF-1449.

3. Formatting

Page size 8.5 by 11 inches with 1/2 inch margins. Paragraphs single spaced. Minimum font size/style 10 point font for Text, 9 point font in the Arial family for Tables, and 8 point font in the Arial family for Graphics. Tables and graphics may be landscape; all other text must be portrait.

If the vendor uses a different format (font size, margin, etc.), the government reserves the right to adjust the quote to fit the parameters of the format as stated in the RFQ, and if this results in the quote exceeding the page limitations in any one area, the government will not consider those excess pages.

The following table shows the page limits to which vendors' submissions must adhere.

https://www.acquisition.gov/

Volume Description Page Limit Executive Summary / Cover Letter 1 Personnel Qualifications 5 Organizational Experience 10 Management Approach and Technical Capabilities 10

#1 Technical Quote

Past Performance None #2 Price Quote Completed Pricing Spreadsheet (Attachment 4) None

4. Transmittal and Cover Letter

The vendor's transmittal and cover letter for the quote must contain the name, phone number, and e-mail address of the person to be contacted concerning any matter related to the solicitation. Include the following information in your quote

1) DUNS number

2) Company Name mailing address, and website address

3) Date submitted and quote expiration date

4) All of the above-cited information for each entity on the proposed team, if a team is proposed

5) Type of Company (i.e., small business, 8(a), woman owned, veteran owned, etc.) as validated via the System for Award Management (SAM). All vendors must register in SAM located at http://www.sam.gov/;

6) Company Point of Contact, Phone and Email address

5. Executive Summary (Volume 1)

The vendor should provide an executive summary for the technical quote. In the executive summary, the vendor should highlight the significant factors of its technical quote. The executive summary for the technical approach should be no more than 1 page long.

In the event that the vendor is planning to propose a teaming, mentor/protégée, or a subcontracting relationship, narrative statements must also be included for the additional organizations, as well as a clear delineation of tasks that they will be expected to support.

6. Technical Quote (Volume 1)

Vendors shall provide a Technical Quote that addresses the following criteria:

A. Personnel Qualifications B. Organizational Experience C. Management Approach and Technical Capabilities D. Past Performance

The vendor must define their management and technical approach that satisfies the requirements defined in this document. Please include a description of your current personnel resources for this, which addresses their capabilities and experience relating to the attached PWS.

7. Past Performance (Volume 1)

The vendor shall identify three contracts/task orders with the Federal Government and/or commercial customers that demonstrate recent and relevant past performance. Recent is defined as within the last three years. Relevant is defined as work similar in scope, size and complexity of the work described in the PWS. Include the following information:

· Project title

· Description of the project

· Government Agency/Organization http://www.sam.gov/;

· COTR's name, address, and phone number

· Contracting Officer's name, address, and phone number

· Contract and, if applicable, task order number

· Current status, e.g., completed and/or if in progress, start and estimated completion dates

· Dollar value and type of contract

· Name of company being referenced

· Key personnel (please highlight those individuals who worked on the relevant project(s) and are also being proposed for this effort.)

· A brief narrative of why you deem the reference to be relevant to this effort

The Government may also consider information obtained through other sources. Past performance information will be utilized to determine the quality of the contractor's past performance as it relates to the probability of success of the required effort.

8. Price Quote (Volume 2)

The vendor's Price Quote shall be a separate volume from the Technical Quote. Pricing shall include all anticipated costs to fully perform all objectives as stated in the solicitation.

The Government is relying on the vendor to identify specific labor categories. The Wage Determination is attached for those categories that are not exempt from Service Contract Act requirements.

The vendor is expected to include all labor, ODC, and other costs (except travel) in the price of each deliverable. It is important that these details are included in the Price Quote (Volume 2).

For example, Baker x 1 Hour @ $25/Hr = $25 QA x .5 Hours @ $50/Hr = $25 Deliverable - Cookie Recipe $50
