(c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, Deputy Director of Contracting, AFICC/KC (OL-ACC), 114 Thompson Street, Bldg 586, Room 129, Langley AFB, VA 23665, telephone (757) 764-5372 (DSN 574-5372) email: acc.a7k1@us.af.mil.

(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d)Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors.

(e)Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Feb 2026) (Deviation 2026-O0038)

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a 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. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

Technical Approach

The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical approach based on its feasibility and the degree to which it demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the requirements in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

The evaluation of the Technical Approach will be conducted in two phases. First, the Government will evaluate the offeror's written technical submission. Second, for those offerors deemed most highly rated based on the written submission, the Government reserves the right to request a live technical demonstration. An offeror not invited to provide a demonstration will be considered technically unacceptable and will be removed from further consideration for award. The final rating for the Technical Approach factor will be based on a combined assessment of both the written submission and the live demonstration (if held).

If conducted, the live technical demonstration will be evaluated on the following aspects:

User Interface and Experience: The offeror's ability to demonstrate an intuitive, "no-code" or low-code user interface that allows a non-technical user to perform key tasks, such as setting up a custom weather alert and generating a mission-specific forecast.

JWICS/C2/SIPR Integration Approach: The offeror's ability to demonstrate how their API data payload is structured and to articulate how this data would be visualized and manipulated within a representative JWICS/C2/SIPR interface, addressing potential challenges such as data latency and bandwidth limitations.

Clarity of Information: The offeror's ability to demonstrate how their platform clearly communicates complex meteorological information, such as model bias and operational impacts, to both expert forecasters and general operational planners.

Past Performance

The past performance evaluation results are an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the services outlined in the solicitation requirements. Past performance information will be gathered from information provided by the offeror, information gathered from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and any other reasonable source that 20 CONS can obtain (surveys, telephone interview, etc.). There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation: a) recency & relevancy; b) performance acceptability.

Contractors must submit no more than three (3) recent and relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies or commercial customers where offerors performed as the prime contractor that demonstrate offeror's ability to successfully perform the scope and breadth of the requirements described in the Performance Work Statement of this solicitation. Past performance information submitted more than the first three contracts will not be evaluated.

Recency & Relevancy

Each vendor's present/past performance will be evaluated to determine whether it is recent and relevant. is defined as efforts where performance Recent past performance is ongoing or performed within the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Each vendor's present/past performance will also be evaluated to determine whether it is relevant to the effort being acquired. includes performance of efforts involving requirements that are similar or greater in Relevant past performance scope and/or complexity than the effort described in this solicitation.

Each vendor's recent and relevant past performance will be evaluated, and the vendor will be assigned a single rating of "acceptable" or "unacceptable" based on the vendors probability of meeting contract performance requirements.

Rating Descriptions:

"Acceptable" - Based on the vendor's performance record, the Government a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required has effort, or the vendor's performance record is unknown.

"Unacceptable" - Based on the vendor's performance record, the Government reasonable expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform has no the required effort.

Price

The Government will evaluate the total proposed price for reasonableness. The price evaluation will consider whether the proposed price reflects a clear understanding of the requirements in the PWS and is consistent with the offeror's proposed technical approach.

(b) 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 Options.

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).

The total evaluated price will be determined by adding the value of each Contract Line Item (CLIN), plus 50% of CLIN 0003. The additional 50% of the CLIN 0003 prices represents the total cumulative price of RFO 52.217-8. Should IAW RFO clause 52.217-8 be exercised in the future, the price will be pro-rated to the actual performance required. Before a contract may be awarded, the contracting officer must determine the price fair and reasonable per RFO 15.

(c) . 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 Notice of award 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.
