The following proposal preparation instructions are in addition to the below, 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items, 52.212-2 Evaluation Factors for Award.

The Government shall not award any contract if the resulting contract would not represent a "best value" to the Government using the tradeoff process procedures as required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations

(FAR).

To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors are cautioned to strictly comply with all instructions within this solicitation to ensure submission of a complete proposal. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and those identified as evaluation factors and sub-factors. Failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and eliminated from consideration for award.

Offerors are cautioned to submit adequate information to enable the Government to fully ascertain each offeror’s capability to perform the requirement. Commitments made in the proposal may become a part of the resultant contract.

The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost https://www.acquisition.gov/far/part-12#FAR_Subpart_12_6 information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition, the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

If an offeror believes that requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise flawed, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing (email is the preferred method) with supporting rationale by the due date provided. All concerns and questions shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer, Kelly Palmer (kpalmer@blm.gov).

This RFP does not commit the Government to any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal or for any other costs incurred by any firm submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation.

Note specifically that the Offeror will not be participating in a sealed bid procurement process under this acquisition method. Issuance of this RFP does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the Government.

A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Proposals that fail to address any of the evaluation criteria may be deemed incomplete, and the proposal may be removed from further consideration.

Proposals must set forth full, accurate, and complete information as required by this RFP, (including attachments), if applicable. The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in 18 U.S.C. 1001.

Proposal must be valid for a minimum of 45 days.

CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (July 2010)

FAR 42.1502 direct 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.

(a) 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.

(b) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer 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. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not released to the public.

(c) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) 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 http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. The CPARS User

Manual, registration for Online Training for Contractor Representatives, and a practice application may be found at this Site.

(d) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the Contracting Officer will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation and the report will be accessible at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/.

Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation or return the evaluation without comment. Comments are limited to the space provided in Block 22. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the Assessing Official’s narrative and should provide your views on the cause and ramifications of the assessed performance. In addition to the ratings and supporting narratives, blocks 1 – 17 should be reviewed for accuracy, as these include key fields that will be used by the Government to identify your firm in future source selection actions. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating “No comment” in Block 22, and then signing and dating Block 23 of the form. Without a statement in Block 22, you will be unable to sign and submit the evaluation back to the Government. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 30 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.” Your response is due within 30 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR.

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

i. 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 Contracting Officer for instructions.

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

iii. 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.

(f) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the Contracting Officer 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 30-day review period.

(g) 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 (Nov 2021)

1. Introduction:

(a) The Government will award one 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.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or 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

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

https://www.acquisition.gov/far/subpart-32.11#FAR_Subpart_32_11 http://www.sam.gov/ http://www.sam.gov/

2. Evaluation Process:

A. Upon receipt, proposals will be reviewed for completeness and compliance with RFP instructions.

Determination of complete and accurate proposals that are eligible for award will be achieved through a process of evaluating each proposal against the Evaluation Factors described below. Incomplete submissions or submissions exceeding the maximum page limit may NOT receive further consideration.

B. Technical ratings shall focus on strengths, uncertainties, and deficiencies in the proposal and shall be rated at the Factor level with an overall technical factor rating assigned. Technical Factors shall be rated as noted below. Past Performance provided will be assigned a Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating as indicated in the Table on page 20, titled Appendix II.

Rating Definition High Confidence The Government has high confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no Government intervention.

Some Confidence The Government has some confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with some Government intervention.

Low Confidence The Government has low confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, or will be successful in performing the contract even with Government intervention.

Technical Proposal:

1. Quality Control Plan

a. How will the Contractor ensure that the requirements & performance standards will be met?

b. How will the Contractor accomplish inspections, correction of deficiencies, and green initiative compliance?

c. QCP Inspection Checklist: are all areas of service included? How will the Contractor provide

QC for the checklist?

2. Contingency Plan

a. How does the Contractor plan to provide uninterrupted services when employees are absent?

b. How does the Contractor plan to recruit and retain qualified individuals?

3. Past Performance

a. Past Performance Confidence Assessment:

i. Performance Confidence will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305(a) (2). In assessing past performance risk, the evaluators will employ several approaches including: A) reviewing the experience listed in the proposal, B) seeking additional present and past performance information through the use of simplified questionnaires and C) using data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources.

ii. The offeror’s and proposed team member’s subcontractor past performance will be evaluated through the accomplishment of a confidence assessment rating based on aspects of the offeror’s relevant past performance and quality of performance, focusing on and targeting performance that is relevant to the same magnitude and complexity as defined in the Statement of Work. Current performance will have greater impact in the performance confidence assessment than less recent performance. The primary means of evaluation will be the Contractors Past Performance Questionnaire (Appendix I) and Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARS). However, the Government reserves the right to consider any other information obtained through other means. The PPT process will result in an overall confidence rating in accordance with Appendix II. This confidence assessment represents the Government evaluation team’s review of the probability of an offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance.

b. PAST PERFORMANCE:

i. Past performance shall provide adequate information describing the offeror’s previous experience in Janitorial Services within the past three years from the issuance date of this RFP. The offeror shall also list contracts performed in the past two years from issue date of this RFP that are of the same magnitude and complexity of this project. In addition, the Government may solicit past performance on contracts not listed by the offeror. If an offeror does not have any past performance information to submit as the entity under which the proposal is being submitted, the offeror should submit past performance data identified above under which the offeror’s key personnel have worked. If the offeror claims there is no past performance, that status must be identified to the Contracting Officer no later than the date and time due for past performance proposals from all offerors. Lack of any past performance will not automatically disqualify an offeror but is a factor that is considered in the Performance Price Trade-Off (PPT) technique described.
