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 https://www.ipp.gov/ mailto:IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov

Location: BLM-NV Black Rock Solicitation Number: 140L3926Q0027 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/.

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

7. 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.

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

9. 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".

10. 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.

11. 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."

12. The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

13. 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.

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

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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.

52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services DEVIATION

MAR 2026

Note: Quotes will be evaluated based on a best value, trade-off process.

(a) The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote is most advantageous to the Government, price and evaluation factors identified below. This acquisition is being conducted under the Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services of FAR Part 12.

Best Value allows the Government to consider or award to an offer who’s Price might not be the lowest offer, but the offeror’s proposal is more advantageous in Technical Capability and/or Past Performance.

The Government may consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror when it is in the best interest of the Government.

1. Evaluation Process:

In accordance with FAR 12 (FAR Overhaul - Part 12 | Acquisition.GOV) the Government will perform a comparative evaluation of quotes. A comparative evaluation is defined as the act of comparing one quote to another in a side-by-side fashion.

Location: BLM-NV Black Rock Solicitation Number: 140L3926Q0027

• No Formal Scoring is required: The Government is not required to use formal evaluation plans, precise weighting, or adjectival scoring (e.g., "Excellent" or "Blue").

• Direct Comparison: IAW FAR 12, Quotes will be compared against one another to determine which provides the best value. The Government will use their professional business judgment to determine if a quote’s technical superiority or more favorable terms (e.g., faster delivery, longer warranty) justifies a higher price. However, the Government may first perform a price analysis. If the lowest-priced quote provides the best value, the Government may award to that quoter without further comparison to other quotes.

2. Evaluation Factors:

The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes:

• Technical Capability: Vendors shall demonstrate their ability to meet the specifications in the Statement of Work with a technical narrative to address, at a minimum, the following items:

• Technical Capability:

a. Offerors must be regularly established in the industry providing the requested services.

b. The technical submittal should include the suggested technical approach to accomplish the required services in the Statement of Work. There is no specific format, but offerors should include relevant information related to personnel qualifications, staffing, management planning, etc. in order to give the Government reasonable assurance that the offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements.

• Key Personnel & Relevant Experience & Qualifications:

a. Include a list of proposed personnel and their relevant experience & qualifications.

b. If the contractor plans to hire new staff to fulfill the needs of this contract then a plan of recruitment must be submitted in the proposal. The plan must identify how the contractor plans to recruit, & hire qualified staff and ensure they are trained and ready to perform at the time the performance period begins. There is no flexibility in the period of performance of these services as they support a planned Recreational Event so the recruitment plan must give the Government the assurance the contractor can acquire staff to meet the need and perform to contract requirements.

Include only information relevant to this project and the contractor's proposal. Address each item described above.

• Relevant Experience (Past Performance): At least 3 recent and relevant experiences in size and scope within the past 5 years.

Past performance will be evaluated to assess the level of confidence the Government has that the offeror will be successful in performing the tasks outlined for this effort in the SOW based on the extent to which an offeror has successfully performed and managed contracts, similar in nature to this acquisition. The recency and relevance of past performance, source of information, context of the data, and general trends in performance will be considered. The Government will consider

Location: BLM-NV Black Rock Solicitation Number: 140L3926Q0027 performance quality of the offeror’s past performance by determining how well the contractor performed to establish a qualitative overall risk assessment rating for the past performance factor.

Other Sources of Information. In evaluating past performance, the Government may consider data provided by the offeror, as well as, past performance data on other projects obtained from other available sources, such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the System for Award Management (SAM) or other Government databases; interviews with COs, Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs), and/or Project Inspectors with specific knowledge of the offeror’s performance to conclude general trends in the quality of work in the offeror’s performance record. While the Government may consider all available information and sources, the burden to provide complete, recent, and relevant past performance information rests with the offeror.

If a performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, a neutral confidence rating will be assessed.

1. Name of Project

2. Location of Project

3. Contract Number

4. Period of Performance

5. Total cost for Project

6. Name of Agency/Entity

• Price: Total evaluated price. Offeror to complete the Standard Form (SF) 1449 in full including pricing. Price should include ALL costs associated with the completion of the project per the attached Statement of Work.

Technical and past performance when combined are significantly more important than price.

(b) Options (if applicable). 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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.

“The information specifically identified on pages ______ of this proposal constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract.”
