52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (SEP 2023) ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-1(b), Submission of Offers:

(12) Offerors must have an active entity registration in the System for Award Management (https://www.sam.gov/SAM/) in order to submit an offer.

(13) Offerors shall ensure that all representations and certifications are up-to-date in SAM.gov at time of offer submission. A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 shall be submitted with the offer.

(14) Offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall include technical capability, past performance information, and pricing.

(i) FACTOR I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY. Provide an offer demonstrating your firm’s capability to provide the services required in Attachment 1 – Performance Work Statement (PWS). Address the following criteria:

(A) Sub-Factor #1 – Quality Control Plan (QCP). Submit with your quotation package your QCP that describes how your company will carry out the work by ensuring your company’s quality of services will be performed in accordance with the performance work statement.

(B) Sub-Factor #2 – Work Schedule. Submit a draft work schedule addressing the sequence and timeline to accomplish all the work required by the required period of performance. Include start date, sequence and timeline for each task, and completion date.

(ii) FACTOR II – PAST PERFORMANCE. The Past Performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offeror's Relevant Past Performance, focusing on and targeting performance which is relevant to the effort as it directly relates to the services being procured under this solicitation and as defined in Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

(A) Sub-Factor #3 – Relevant Past Performance. The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the services and being procured under this solicitation. The offeror shall submit ongoing work or work completed within the past five years.

This past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

1. Submit a short narrative for each relevant project that is similar in nature, size, complexity, scope, and geographical conditions as required by PWS. Provide these details (as a prime / sub-contractor):

□ Contract number;

□ Project Title / Location;

□ Contract Value;

□ Period of Performance;

□ Company Role (Prime or Subcontractor); and

□ Customer Contact Info (Name/Tele/E-mail).

http://www.sam.gov/SAM/)

(B) In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance submission and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at https://www.cpars.gov, and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their offers may be used by the Government to evaluate offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offerors. Offers that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk receiving an unacceptable performance rating by the Government. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(iii) FACTOR III – PRICE. Offerors shall complete and submit the Schedule of Items.
