PAGE 15 OF 36 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

The Offeror shall describe their background, knowledge and experience related to the manufacture and delivery of the types of single and double wall corrugated fiberboard boxes required by the solicitation. Of particular emphasis is performance that was executed in accordance with the same or similar scope and magnitude that is described in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. Past performance information is used in determining the level of confidence the Government has for successful performance based upon the Offeror’s actions under previously awarded, relevant contracts.

To be considered relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate an ability to perform the work described in the solicitation through its successful past execution of similar contracts in terms of scope, complexity, and magnitude of effort within the past five years. (The Government recommends submission of at least three contracts, but will evaluate any and all submitted). Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation of the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements as defined in the RFP. If subcontractor experience is provided as part of the most relevant contracts, it will be given weight relative to the percentage of effort being provided by that particular subcontractor in the offer submitted. The references will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow offerors who may not have the entire scope, magnitude, and complexity of the requirement under one individual contract to still be considered relevant if experience with the full scope, magnitude, and complexity of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of references as described above.

If an Offeror or its subcontractor determines they have no past performance data, they shall provide the following statement in lieu of the information requested below: “(Insert Offeror or subcontractor’s name) has determined that they possess no past performance information in accordance with the RFP.”

To be compliant with this factor offerors shall provide the following information for both the Offeror and proposed subcontractors.

(1) An index of previous contract data for the Offeror. The index shall contain three or more PRIME contracts and SUBCONTRACTS that the Offeror is currently performing or has completed during the last five years. The index shall include:

- Contract/Purchase Order Number

- Customer points of contact (minimum of two, provide name, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses)

- Length of contract

- Period of performance (dates)

- Initial Contract Price

- Final Contract Price or price as of the last modification

- Description of product/service provided (include sufficient detail to demonstrate the scope and complexity of the product/service provided)

- Discussion of the similarities and differences of experience (include sufficient detail to demonstrate similarities/dissimilarities to the requirements of this solicitation)

- Facilities in which the product/service was performed

- Quality of Past Performance; to include a discussion of actual performance under each contract listed, including problems encountered; how they were resolved; the timeliness of deliverables required; how costs were controlled; business relationships;

management of personnel, and any other areas deemed necessary to provide insight into actual performance issues

(2) A narrative synopsis that shall describe the specific nature of the work, similarities with the proposed work and the relevant experience gained.

(4) Attachment 2, Past Performance Questionnaire. Offerors and all major subcontractors shall send this questionnaire to previous customers of relevant prime and subcontracts. A major subcontractor is defined as those providing twenty percent of total dollar threshold AND/OR twenty-five percent of total man-hour effort. All questionnaires shall be sent by the proposal due date and time identified in the Instructions to Offerors. All previous contracts the offeror utilizes for Questionnaire information must be contained in the Previous Contract Data index for the offeror/major subcontractor. The offeror/major subcontractor shall complete Part I of Attachment 2 prior to submitting the questionnaire to the customer. The offeror/major subcontractor shall ask the customer to complete the questionnaire and return it directly via email to the Contract Specialist identified in Part III – RETURN INFORMATION of the questionnaire.

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation Commercial Items

FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION FACTORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

The Government intends to award one contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation using the lowest price technically acceptable source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-2, as supplemented. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. Award will be made to the acceptable offeror with the lowest evaluated price, inclusive of options, which is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and which has submitted a proposal conforming to the solicitation requirements. The requirements include all stated terms, conditions, completion of representations and certifications, and all other requirements of this solicitation. The Government intends to award without discussions; therefore, the initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

Proposals shall be evaluated for acceptability or unacceptability only and shall not be rated. Award will be based on the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for the non-price factor. Any offeror who has been found to have an acceptable past performance will then have their proposal evaluated for lowest price.

The following non-price factor shall be used to determine acceptability of a proposal:

Past Performance

Past performance shall be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. 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 (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), Past Performance Evaluation). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

To be considered acceptable and eligible for award, an Offeror must address the past performance factor set forth in accordance with the instructions of this solicitation. A major item and/or gross omission which precludes meeting solicitation objectives that cannot be corrected prior to or during discussions without major revision or complete resubmission of the proposal will cause a proposal to be found technically unacceptable.

PAGE 17 OF 36 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

An initial proposal evaluation of "Unacceptable" in the Past Performance Factor will not automatically eliminate an offeror from the competitive range, but may be considered in making the competitive range determination if communications have been conducted pursuant to FAR 15.306(b)(1)(i). Communications shall be held with offerors whose past performance information is the determining factor keeping them from being placed within the competitive range if the communications are necessary to allow them to address adverse past performance information to which the offeror(s) had not had a prior opportunity to respond.

It is the intention of the Government to award without discussions. However, if it is determined that discussions are required, then the determination of the competitive range will include all proposals which are considered to be technically acceptable and may include those that are considered to have a reasonable chance of being selected for award, unless the competitive range is further limited in accordance with FAR 15.306(c)(2).

Those offerors whose proposals do not fall into the competitive range will be notified as required by FAR 15.503(a)(1). Offerors will be notified in writing with a concise explanation of their proposal deficiencies without jeopardizing the competitive range.

Those offerors whose proposals are determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the competitive range will be contacted by the Contract Specialist for discussions. Discussions will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.306(d). If verbal discussions are held they will be followed by a written reiteration of the discussion. Written discussions may also be held, whereby the Government will provide a written list of discussion questions to each offeror, as appropriate. In the case of both verbal and written discussions, the offeror will provide a written response to the discussion question and revision to the proposal as required. This response and revision (if required) will be marked accordingly to distinguish it as a supplement to their original proposal. More than one round of discussions may be held. At the conclusion of final discussions, the Government will request each offeror in the competitive range to submit a Final Proposal Revision (FPR).

The FPR will be evaluated as to its revised past performance, and/or pricing approach in response to the issues identified during discussions. The Government then intends, in accordance with the evaluation factor for award set forth below, to award a contract to the offeror who has submitted the lowest priced proposal with a record of acceptable past performance.

If discussions are held, a proposal will be determined “unacceptable” for award if the non-price Factor, Past Performance Record, is evaluated as unacceptable.

Past Performance Record: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Past Performance Record to determine acceptability of a proposal as follows:

Past Performance shall be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. 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 (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), Past Performance Evaluation). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

The Government may utilize the Federal Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), data submitted by the Offeror as part of the Past Performance Proposal, and any other information available to determine the quality and relevance of the Offeror’s past performance.

Each proposal will be evaluated to the extent to which the Offeror has demonstrated an ability and willingness to perform: 1) A quality product or service (i.e. the conformance to contract requirements, specifications, and standards of good workmanship); 2) Timeliness of the contract with regard to completion of contract, task orders, milestones, delivery schedules and administrative requirements (e.g., effort that contributes to or affects the schedule variance); 3) Acceptable cost control with regard to the Offeror’s effectiveness in forecasting, managing, and controlling contract cost; 4) Good business relationships with regard to the timeliness, completeness and quality of problem identification and resolution, Offeror’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior, customer satisfaction, timely award and management of subcontracts, and whether the contractor met their small/small disadvantaged and women owned business participation goals; and 5) Management of personnel with regard to demonstration of a commitment to the management of personnel with regard to the Offeror’s performance in selecting, retaining, supporting, and replacing when necessary, personnel.

The Government will only consider relevant past performance data of the Offeror and its major subcontractors. A major subcontractor is defined as those providing twenty percent of total dollar threshold AND/OR twenty-five percent of total man-hour effort. Subcontractors not meeting the definition of a “major subcontractor” will not be evaluated. To be considered relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate past execution of similar contracts in terms of complexity, magnitude of effort, and scope. Additionally, the performance must have occurred during the last five years. Offerors shall be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. 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 (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), Past Performance Evaluation). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”. Should the Government

PAGE 18 OF 36 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

discover adverse past performance information to which the Offeror(s) had not had a prior opportunity to respond, the KO will conduct communications if deemed appropriate.

PRICE PROPOSAL

If a proposal has been determined acceptable for the non-price factor listed above, the Government will then evaluate the proposal for the lowest price. The proposal total price-the sum of the total amount for all CLINS-between offers will be the determining factor in the selection of a proposal for award. The Government will assess the offeror’s price to determine if it is reasonable for the requirements described in the RFP.

PRICE

The Government will perform a price analysis to determine the reasonableness of proposed price in accordance with FAR 15.404- 1(B)(2). The Government will utilize a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation. Normally, adequate price competition establishes price reasonableness (see FAR 15.404-1 (b)). In addition the Government may utilize a comparison of previously proposed prices and previous Government and commercial contract prices with current proposed prices for the same or similar items, if both the validity of the comparison and the reasonableness of the previous price(s) can be established. The Government intends to make one award as a result of this solicitation.

(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.
