EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

A contract may be awarded to the Offeror whose quote conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Instructions to Offerors of this solicitation) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors, to represent the best value to the Government. Additionally, the Offeror must be deemed a responsible prospective contractor in accordance with FAR 9.1.

2. EVALUATION FOR AWARD

The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price contract from this Request for Quote (RFQ) to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the RFQ is the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable

(LPTA).

3. EVALUATION FACTORS

a. The evaluation factors represent key areas of importance to be considered in the LPTA selection decision and include:

Factor 1: Technical Factor 2: Total Price

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors of Technical.

Factor 1 – Technical The Technical factor shall either receive an overall Acceptable or Unacceptable rating as defined below based on an assessment of whether the Offeror’s Technical Submission respectively meets the requirements listed in the Instructions to Offerors, Technical Submission requirements (i)-(ii), and SPRS Supplier Risk Report.

An “Unacceptable” rating renders the quote ineligible for award and no further evaluation will be conducted.

Combined Technical/Risk Rating Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the requirement of the RFQ, contains all the information required under Technical Submission, indicates an adequate technical approach to and understanding of the technical requirements set forth in the subject work package, demonstrates the necessary authorizations, certifications, and qualifications to perform the requirement, has a satisfactory SPRS report, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirement of the RFQ, does not contain all the information required under Technical Submission, does not indicate an adequate technical approach to and understanding of the technical requirements set forth in the subject work package, does not demonstrate the necessary authorizations, certifications, and qualifications to perform the requirement, does not have a satisfactory SPRS report, or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

A “Satisfactory SPRS Supplier Risk Report” means that the Offeror’s SPRS Supplier Risk Report is categorized as green, blue, purple, or the Offeror’s performance record has no score (black).

Note that Risk reports categorized as red or yellow are also considered satisfactory SPRS Supplier Risk Reports but additional mitigation efforts will be required upon award.

An “Unsatisfactory SPRS Supplier Risk Report” means that the Offeror’s SPRS Supplier Risk Report is categorized as gray and indicates that an Offeror has been debarred or is otherwise excluded.

Factor 2 – Price

Price will not be scored or rated. The Government will evaluate the submitted quote for its reasonableness in accordance with various analysis methods listed in FAR 13.106-2 and FAR 15.404- 1. The Offeror’s total proposed price will be evaluated for reasonableness. The total evaluated price is the sum of all (contract line item number) CLIN prices.

C-222-H001 ACCESS TO THE VESSELS BY NON-U.S. CITIZENS (NAVSEA) (APR 2019)

(a) No person not known to be a U.S. citizen shall be eligible for access to naval vessels, work sites and adjacent areas when said vessels are under construction, conversion, overhaul, or repair, except upon a finding by COMNAVSEA or his designated representative that such access should be permitted in the best interest of the United States. The Contractor shall establish procedures to comply with this requirement and NAVSEAINST 5510.2D.

(b) If the Contractor desires to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of work under this contract or agreement that requires access as specified in paragraph (a) of this requirement, approval must be obtained prior to access for each contract or agreement where such access is required. To request such approval for non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries, the Contractor shall submit to the cognizant Contract Administration Office (CAO), an Access Control Plan (ACP) which shall contain as a minimum, the following information:

(1) Badge or Pass oriented identification, access, and movement control system for non-U.S. citizen employees with the badge or pass to be worn or displayed on outer garments at all times while on the Contractor's facilities and when performing work aboard ship.

(i) Badges must be of such design and appearance that permits easy recognition to facilitate quick and positive identification.

(ii) Access authorization and limitations for the bearer must be clearly established and in accordance with applicable security regulations and instructions.

(iii) A control system, which provides rigid accountability procedures for handling lost, damaged, forgotten or no longer required badges, must be established.

(iv) A badge or pass check must be performed at all points of entry to the Contractor's facilities or by a site supervisor for work performed on vessels outside the Contractor's plant.

(2) Contractor's plan for ascertaining citizenship and for screening employees for security risk.

(3) Data reflecting the number, nationality, and positions held by non-U.S. citizen employees, including procedures to update data as non-U.S. citizen employee data changes, and pass to cognizant CAO.

(4) Contractor's plan for ensuring subcontractor compliance with the provisions of the Contractor's ACP.

(5) These conditions and controls are intended to serve as guidelines representing the minimum requirements of an acceptable ACP. They are not meant to restrict the Contractor in any way from imposing additional controls necessary to tailor these requirements to a specific facility.

(c) To request approval for non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries (listed in Department of Defense Industrial Security Manual, DOD 5220.22-M or available from cognizant CAO), Contractor shall include in the ACP the following employee data: name, place of birth, citizenship (if different from place of birth), date of entry to U.S., extenuating circumstances (if any) concerning immigration to U.S., number of years employed by Contractor, position, and stated intent concerning U.S. citizenship. COMNAVSEA or his designated representative will make individual determinations for desirability of access for the above group. Approval of ACP's for access of non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries will not be delayed for approval of non-U.S. citizens of hostile communist-controlled countries. Until approval is received, Contractor must deny access to vessels for employees who are non- U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries.

(d) The Contractor shall fully comply with approved ACPs. Noncompliance by the Contractor or subcontractor serves to cancel any authorization previously granted, in which case the Contractor shall be precluded from the continued use of non-U.S. citizens on this contract or agreement until such time as the compliance with an approved ACP is demonstrated and upon a determination by the CAO that the Government's interests are protected. Further, the Government reserves the right to cancel previously granted authority when such cancellation is determined to be in the Government's best interest. Use of non-U.S. citizens, without an approved ACP or when a previous authorization has been canceled, will be considered a violation of security regulations. Upon confirmation by the CAO of such violation, this contract, agreement or any job order issued under this agreement may be terminated or default in accordance with the clause entitled "Default (Fixed-Price Supply and Service)" (FAR 52.249-8), "Default (Fixed-Price Research and Development)" (FAR 52.249-9) or "Termination (Cost Reimbursement)" (FAR 52.249- 6), as applicable.

(e) Prime Contractors have full responsibility for the proper administration of the approved ACP for all work performed under this contract or agreement, regardless of the location of the vessel, and must ensure compliance by all subcontractors, technical representatives and other persons granted access to U.S. Navy vessels, adjacent areas, and work sites.

(f) In the event the Contractor does not intend to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of the work under this contract, but has non-U.S. citizen employees, such employees must be precluded from access to the vessel and its work site and those shops where work on the vessel's equipment is being performed. The ACP must spell out how non-U.S. citizens are excluded from access to contract work areas.

(g) The same restriction as in paragraph (f) above applies to other non-U.S. citizens who have access to the Contractor's facilities (e.g., for accomplishing facility improvements, from foreign crewed vessels within its facility, etc.) except that, with respect to access to the vessel and worksite, the restrictions shall not apply to uniformed U.S.

Navy personnel who are non-U.S. citizens and who are either assigned to the ship or require access to the ship to perform their duties.
