Neutral Irrelevant past performance was submitted or no past performance was submitted.

Volume III, Factor 3: Cost/Price - Price lists shall be submitted with all the items being offered.

Contractors shall use the Price Schedule attached and complete with all pricing, inclusive of equipment, supplies, project management and other costs. This will be a fixed-price contract Note:

so pricing should be for the total project.

Each contractor should also include a cover letter on company letterhead, summarizing the pricing total and outlining the contractor's terms and conditions, signed by the representative managing the account. Include the contractor's CAGE Code, TAX ID #, DUNS #, and SIN #.

The total price shall be equal to the sum of the total of all the cost elements (Specified items, Labor, and Materials). The Government will verify the contractor's calculation of the total offered price. The prime contractor and each subcontractor shall provide their labor rates for each of the labor categories contained. Each labor rate shall be multiplied by its corresponding level of effort (hours) for the contract period of performance.

The contractor shall provide payment and performance bonds on a task order basis.

The contractor shall ensure that the rates proposed for all of the labor categories subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA) and Davis Bacon Act (DBA) comply with the minimums specified by the applicable Department of Labor Wage Determination. Please note the applicable wage determination will be issued on a task order basis.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and make the award IAW RFO 15.402. The Government may require additional pricing information to assist in determining the extent to which the price is fair and reasonableness. Offers with an omission or unclear proposal may be judged to mean the contractor does not fully understand the requirements or understand what it takes to meet the requirements, regardless of the proposed price and will be rated unacceptable. In that case, the offeror may be found ineligible for award. As stated in RFO 52.215-1(f)(8), if one or more priced line items or labor hours is significantly overstated or understated, the Government may reject the offer. The Government reserves the right to ask questions of offerors if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary.

EVALUATION CRITERIA RATING

Volume I, Factor 1: Technical Acceptability

RATING DESCRIPTION

ACCEPTABLE Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Please see Section "EVALUATION CRITERIA: 1.

Technical" for specific requirements.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal clearly does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Volume II, Factor 2: Past Performance

The contractor will provide information regarding their past performances with the OFFER.

RATING DESCRIPTION

ACCEPTABLE Past performance references and /or PPQ has satisfactory ratings and clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Past performance references and/ or PPQ has unsatisfactory ratings and clearly does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

NEUTRAL No past performance submitted.

Volume III, Factor 3: Cost/Price

Award will be made to the Offerors with the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. Pricing will be evaluated in accordance with price lists submitted with all the items being offered. The government may require additional pricing information to assist in determining the extent to which the price is fair and reasonable, and the pricing information shall be provide if requested. The Government will evaluate proposals for award purposes by adding the total of all CLIN prices to ensure that pricing is not unbalanced. Offerors must complete all line items to be considered for award.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government anticipates award of a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Lowest Price (Cost) Technically Acceptable offeror, i.e. to the offeror with the lowest evaluated realistic price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than "Acceptable" must be achieved for the technical factor and all enumerated paragraphs there under.

Award will be made with appropriate consideration given to the three evaluation factors: Factor 1- Technical, Factor 2- Past Performance and Factor 3 - Cost/Price.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and make award without questions to offerors.

Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a Technical and Cost standpoint.

Unclear proposals may not result in questions for clarifications. Offers with an omission or unclear proposal may be judged to mean the contractor does not fully understand the requirements or understand what it takes to meet the requirements, regardless of the proposed cost/price and will be rated unacceptable. In that case, the Offeror may be found unacceptable, and ineligible for award. The Government reserves the right to ask questions of offerors if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary.

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision-

Foreign person means any person other than a United States person.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States. For purposes of the prior sentence, a foreign country does not include an outlying area of the United States.

United States person as defined in 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(30) means

(1) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(2) A domestic partnership;

(3) A domestic corporation;

(4) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(5) Any trust if-

(i) A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(b) Unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specified Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. See 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7.

(c) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). The Offeror may claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(d) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that

(1) It [ ] is [ ] is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that-I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 [ ] a full exemption, or [ ] partial or no exemption [Offeror must select one] from the excise tax.

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then-

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the IRS as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts. For questions relating to the interpretation of the IRS regulations go to https://www.irs.gov/help/tax-law-questions.
