II. REQUIREMENTS FOR QUOTE FORMAT

1. Introduction and Purpose: This section specifies the format that quoters shall use in responding to this RFQ.

III. QUOTE CONTENT

Volume I Non-Price Quote

The Non-Price Quote evaluation factors are listed below:

Factor I – Technical

This volume shall address the technical requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and shall include all information required for proposal evaluation. This volume shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the proposal.

Offerors shall provide, in detail, a technical submission that demonstrates a complete understanding of and the capability to fully implement and execute all requirements of the solicitation and PWS. The offeror’s response shall address each of the requirements detailed in Section 4.0 of the PWS.

Factor II – Past Performance:

The quoter shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the past three (3) years prior to the closing date of the solicitation that is the same as or similar to, the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the quoter shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts within the past three (3) years of the closing date of the solicitation. Quoters shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts to the requirements of the solicitation. For purposes of this solicitation, a contract is defined as a single contract or a single task order placed under an IDIQ contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply Schedule.

If the quoter includes delivery orders/task orders as past performance, the quoter shall state specifically what work was performed by the quoter under the delivery order/task order and the dates during which work was performed.

Subcontractor performance (either the quoter 's own subcontractor experience or proposed subcontractors experience) of major or critical aspects of this requirement will be considered as highly as prime contractor past performance information for the quoter.

If proposed subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement must be stated. The quoter’s proposal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform will not be evaluated. Quoters may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs), task orders (TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance. Each individual example in the combination must have been performed within three (3) years of the closing date of this solicitation. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal.

If the prime quoter or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort will not be evaluated.

The references will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow quoters who may not have the entire scope and magnitude of the requirement under one individual contract to still be evaluated for quality if past performance with the full scope and magnitude of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of references as described above.

The quoter should complete a Past Performance Information Form (Attachment 1) for each reference submitted.

The form is an attachment to the solicitation. For additional information regarding a particular reference beyond that which will fit on the form, the quoter may continue onto another sheet of paper. The forms and any such continuation sheet(s) for submitted references will count toward the Volume I page limit described above.

In addition to the information requested above, offerors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the attached Past Performance Report Form (Attachment 2) and e-mail the completed survey directly to Lorna Mohney at lorna.mohney@navy.mil by the closing date and time of this solicitation.

The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the closing date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information.

Volume II

Factor III – Price:

The Price Quote shall include the completed solicitation documents. The price quote shall include all elements of price and such other price information considered appropriate to support the quoter’s proposal. The pricing information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

- A complete and signed SF1449 (Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial items) and executed copy of Amendments, if applicable, completed by the quoter;

- All supplemental information to support the proposed price.

- A completed and signed Page 1 of the solicitation and a completed and signed Page 1 of any amendments.

- Unless completed in SAM, RFP, Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors completed by the quoter.

Small Business Subcontracting Plan (For other-than-Small Businesses Only). Each Quoter that is not a small business shall provide a Small Business Subcontracting Plan that contains all elements required by FAR 52.219-9 (DEVIATION 2018-O0007), as supplemented by DFARS 252.219-7003 (DEVIATION 2018-O0007) by the closing date and time stated in the solicitation. This plan will not be evaluated as part of the formal source selection process. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan must be determined to be acceptable by the Contracting Officer in order for the quoter to be eligible for contract award in accordance with FAR 19.702(a)(1). If the apparently successful quoter fails to negotiate a subcontracting plan acceptable to the contracting officer within the time limit prescribed by the contracting officer, the quoter will be ineligible for award. If the Contracting Officer accepts the Small Business Subcontracting Plan, it will become part of the contract. Quoters are permitted to submit a master subcontracting plan as long as it is created in accordance with FAR 19.701 and FAR 19.704(b). Small Business Subcontracting Plans are not required from quoters that qualify as Small Business concerns under NAICS Code 334515 with a Size Standard of 750 Employees.

It is the goal of this solicitation that prime contractors subcontract with small businesses to the maximum extent practicable. For other-than-small prime contractors, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan goals shall be expressed in terms of whole dollars and percentages based on total planned subcontracting dollars. Of the total planned subcontracting dollars, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall include goals for Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Woman-Owned Small Businesses, HubZone Small Businesses, Veteran Owned Small Businesses and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The Government will consider prior achievement of small business subcontracting plan goals as well as the quoted dollar values and percentages related to this solicitation.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) 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 shall be used to evaluate offers:

The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value to the Government after an evaluation in accordance with the factors in the RFQ. Each quoter’s quote shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to, each of the areas identified in the solicitation provision entitled “FAR provision 52.212-1 Addendum, Instructions to Offerors-- Commercial Items.”

The trade-off evaluation of quotes will consider the non-price factors of technical and past performance to be more important than the price factor. Within the non-price factors, technical and past performance are approximately equal in importance.

Initially, quoters shall be ranked from lowest to highest according to price, inclusive of all option pricing. A quoter’s price will be determined by adding all extended amounts for the CLINs.

If the lowest priced quoter is evaluated to have an overall Factor I: Technical rating of “Acceptable” and an overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating of “Substantial Confidence”, that quoter represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quotes. However, if the lowest priced quoter is not evaluated to have an overall Factor I: Technical rated “Acceptable” and an overall “Substantial Confidence” Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating, the next-lowest priced quoter will be evaluated. The evaluation process will continue (in order of price from lowest to highest) until a quote is evaluated to have an overall Factor I: Technical rating of “Acceptable” and an overall “Substantial Confidence” Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating. The Government shall then make an integrated best-value award decision from among that quote and all lower-priced awardable quotes.

If no quotes are rated with an overall Factor I: Technical rating of “Acceptable” and an overall “Substantial Confidence” Past Performance Confidence Assessment, the Contracting Officer shall make an integrated assessment best-value award decision from among all awardable quoters.

Although price is not the most important evaluation factor, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process. The degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of equality of the quotes in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based. The importance of price will also increase when a quoter’s price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might be gained under the other aspects of the quote. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all quoters are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, quotes, price could become the factor in determining which quoter shall receive the award.

All quotes will be reviewed for timeliness. Timely quotes will be reviewed for responsiveness (compliance) to the solicitation. If the quote is not responsive to the solicitation, it will not be evaluated and the quoter will be notified that the quote is non-responsive.

1. Non-Price Proposal Evaluation Criteria

Volume I

Factor I – Technical

Factor I - Technical will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis utilizing the Technical Ratings in Table 1 below. Quoters receiving a rating of “Unacceptable” for Factor I – Technical will not be considered for an award and will not be further evaluated.

Factor II – Past Performance

For the Past Performance factor, the rating tables identified in the table below, entitled “Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Table” and “Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Table” will be utilized for the assignment of ratings for relevancy and confidence assessment. Past performance will be evaluated for confidence based on the recency, relevancy, and quality of the submitted contracts. Past Performance will be assessed as follows:

Past Performance Recency

Recency is the first aspect of the past performance evaluation and is the time period during which past performance references are considered relevant. Recency is critical to establishing the relevancy of past performance information. Evaluation will focus only on work experience already performed. For purposes of this solicitation, recent past performance is performance that has taken place within five (5) years as of the closing date of this solicitation. Performance outside of this stated period will not be considered for evaluation purposes.

Past Performance Relevancy

Regarding relevancy, each past performance reference under each quoter’s Past Performance submission will be evaluated to determine its individual scope and magnitude relative to the instant requirement. The following definitions will apply to this evaluation:

Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the dollar value of actually performed work that exists between the PWS and the quoter’s contracts, in the aggregate, during the stated five-year period established by the solicitation.

The aggregate of each quoter’s past performance references in terms of scope and magnitude will result in the assessed overall relevance of that quoter’s past performance. The quality of performance under a past performance reference that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be considered in the overall assessment of past performance confidence. In determining the rating for the past performance factor, past performance of greater relevancy will have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Past Performance Quality

The third aspect of the past performance evaluation is to establish the overall quality of the quoter’s past performance. The Government will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the quoter’s performance, including general trends and usefulness of the information, and will incorporate this into the past performance confidence assessment.

Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings

The overall assigned rating for past performance will be the Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating, defined in the table below. The assignment of this rating will be based on the overall quality of the recent and relevant past performance and will also consider the source of the information, the context of the data, and general trends in the quoter’s performance. The quality of performance under a past performance reference that that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be considered in the overall assessment of past performance confidence.

Evaluation will focus only on work already performed. Work yet-to-be performed and work outside of the five (5) years prior to solicitation closing to will not be considered.

If the quoter’s aggregated past performance is determined to be not relevant as defined in the solicitation, then the quality of the quoter’s past performance will not be evaluated through a confidence assessment and the past performance factor will be rated as “Neutral Confidence.” If a quoter’s aggregate past performance is determined to be Somewhat Relevant, or greater, then each past performance reference under the quoter’s past performance submission that contributed to the determination of aggregate relevance (i.e., each reference that is rated at least somewhat relevant) will be evaluated to determine the quality of the quoter’s performance under that reference. The quality of performance on contract references that are rated not relevant is not evaluated even when the overall past performance is found to be relevant.

In the case of quoters for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the past performance factor. In this case, the quoter’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “Neutral Confidence.” Although a quoter that lacks recent, relevant past performance may not be rated favorably or unfavorably with regard to past performance, the Government may determine that a “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating provides better value to the Government than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating.

In order to determine the quality of performance, the Government may utilize existing data sources, including the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), the Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases;

communication with points of contact in the quoter’s customer’s organization, which could include private sector requirements and contracts personnel, Administrative Contracting Officers, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) personnel, Procuring Contracting Officers, Contracting Officer’s Representatives, and other Government activity requirements personnel. The Government may verify past performance information. The Government may contact some or all of the references provided, as appropriate, and may collect information through questionnaires, telephone interviews, and existing data sources. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources, including sources outside of the Government. This information will be used for the evaluation of past performance.

The Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating is separate and distinct from the contracting officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the quoter’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the quoter and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. Price Quote Evaluation:

Factor III – Price:

The Government will evaluate price proposals in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a), Award and Documentation.

The Government may evaluate any and all information submitted by the quoter to support the reasonableness of the prices quoted. The method of evaluation used by the Contracting Officer is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Price will be evaluated by multiplying the estimated quantities provided to the Government by the quoted unit price for each line item provided by the quoter and then adding the totals together thereby identifying the quoter’s total estimated price for each line item.

If, at any stage of the evaluation, all quoters are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, or generally equivalent, non-price quotes, price could become the factor in determining which quoter shall receive the award.

The Contracting Officer shall also review the apparently successful quoter’s Small Business Subcontracting

Plan. The apparently successful quoter shall negotiate an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan with the Contracting Officer prior to award. Failure to negotiate an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan will make the quoter ineligible for award.

3. Written Notice

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer emailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the quoter’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.

4. Rating Tables

Table 1: Technical Ratings Table

Rating Description Acceptable Quote clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation

The ratings table above will be used in the evaluation of Factor I – Technical and Sub-factors I, II, III.

Table 2: Past Performance Relevancy Table

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.

Table 3: Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Table

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(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.
