This Amendment 0002 is issued as follows:

• BASIS FOR AWARD: This acquisition for Sign Language interpreter &

Communication Access Real Time Translation will be awarded to the responsive and responsible vendor on a full and open competitive basis in accordance with the provisions of FAR Part 12 and 15.4. The Government will review the proposal for technical acceptability to ensure that the proposal meets the requirements set forth in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and that the vendor demonstrates a through understanding of the PWS. In addition, Price will be the determining factor for award between vendors both evaluated equally technically acceptable.

• FAR Clause 52.212-2 is modified to remove Past Performance as an evaluation factor.

• Past Performance

The vendor shall provide Past Performance Information (PPI) that will be reviewed but used as a factor in determining the vendor’s Responsibility Determination.

(1) Aspects of Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance results in 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 recent and relevant past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

The vendor shall identify its past performance information as requested in the solicitation. The basis of this assessment is from three aspects: 1) Recency and (2) Relevancy, and (3) Quality of

Historical Contracts. In rating past performance, the following will be considered:

(a) Recency and Relevancy. The first aspect is to evaluate the Recency which is described as at least three (3) contracts/accounts, commercial or Government, performed within the last five

(5) years for the same or similar services proposed in this RFQ. The second aspect, Relevancy, is assessed to determine whether the vendor’s present / past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration shall be given to what aspects of a vendor’s contract history would give the most confidence that the vendor will satisfy the current procurement. Common elements of relevancy include similarity of service / support, complexity, dollar value, contract type and degree of subcontract / teaming.

(b) Quality of Historical Contracts: The second aspect is to determine how well the vendor performed on present / past contracts. The past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the vendor performed those past contracts and includes history of successful completion of projects; history of producing high-quality reports and deliverables; commitment to customer satisfaction and history of staying on schedule and within budget. Past Performance information may be obtained from Past Performance Questionnaires, Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Contractor Performance/Assessment

Reporting System (CPARS) or other sources available to the Government. The Past

Performance evaluation process does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror’s past performance on present/past contracts.

(2) Past Performance Evaluation Rating. The overall Past Performance Rating will be based on a combination of the Recency/Relevancy Rating and Past Performance Quality Rating.

Past Performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings.

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 in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(3) Sources of Past Performance Information for Evaluation. Sources are as follows:

(a) Past performance information may be provided by the offeror, as solicited.

(b) Past performance information may be obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition.

(c) Past performance information shall be obtained from any other sources available to the Government to include, but not limited to, PPIRS or other databases; interviews with

Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee-Determining Officials; and the Defense

Contract Management Agency.

All other terms and Conditions remain the same.
