Information provided below apply to both the IDIQ and Task Order solicitations unless otherwise specified.

Offerors are hereby on notice that a failure to submit all the required documentation as

SP4705-26-R-0004 6

instructed may constitute a basis for the Government to reject a proposal as non-compliant and therefore, unawardable at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

The Government reserves the right to waive minor informalities, non-compliances and irregularities in proposals without holding exchanges with Offerors.

The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply restate or rephrase the Government’s requirements, but rather provide a convincing rationale explaining how the offeror intends to meet these requirements.

The proposal shall contain all the pertinent information in sufficient detail in the area of the proposal where it contributes most critically to the discussion of the same information. When necessary, the offeror shall refer to the initial discussion and identify its location within the proposal.

The offeror is responsible for providing adequate documentation to enable a thorough evaluation of the proposal. The offeror shall submit a proposal that clearly and concisely describes and defines the offeror’s response to the objectives/requirements contained in the RFP.

Hasty responses or responses which merely repeat the Performance Work Statement (PWS) cannot be considered as being responsive to the requirements of this RFP.

Assurances of experience, capability, or qualifications, without a clear demonstration to support this claim may adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal. Unnecessary elaboration or other presentations beyond what is sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired.

Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and that it will base its evaluation exclusively on the merits and content of the information presented in the offeror’s proposal. Each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated without cross-referencing.

Alternate proposals are not authorized. Exceptions to any terms and conditions of the RFP may make the proposal unacceptable. Moreover, proposals must respond to all requirements of the solicitation with no additions or deletions. Non-conformance with the solicitation requirements shall render the offer unacceptable and the Offeror may be deemed ineligible for award, at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

E.2 Evaluation Factors for Award

E.2.1 General Information

E.2.1.1 Solicitation Terms and Conditions

Offers that do not conform to the requirements stated herein may be determined unacceptable and may be rejected without further evaluation. Only complete proposal package submitted in accordance with Section E.1 Instructions to Offers will be evaluated for consideration of an award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable.

Offeror’s proposal will be reviewed in following sequence and must be found acceptable at each level prior to advance to the next level in the process. Unacceptable rating will result in entire proposal package Unacceptable and eliminated for further evaluation for an award.

E.2.1.2 Exchanges with Offerors After Receipt of Proposals

The Government may evaluate proposals and make award without discussions. If it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions a Competitive Range may be established and offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. The Source Selection decision will then be based on the Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) of the Offerors remaining in the Competitive Range at the time discussions are closed. If the Offeror’s proposal has been evaluated as acceptable at the time discussions are closed, any changes or exceptions in the FPR are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the Offeror’s proposal may be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.

E.2.1.3 Basis for Award

The award shall be made to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal is determined to be the best value to the Government, non-price factors and prices considered. The Government’s objective is to obtain the highest quality services considered necessary to achieve the stated objectives of this acquisition, with fair and reasonable prices. An award(s) will be made based on a best value trade-off source selection process in accordance with DoD Source Selection Procedures dated August 20, 2022, and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Contract by Negotiation. Tradeoffs may be made between Non-Price and Price. This may result in award to a higher rated, higher priced Offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation Factors and the Government reasonably determines that the technical approach of the higher priced Offeror outweighs the cost difference, and therefore represents the best value to the Government.

SP4705-26-R-0004 13

E.2.2 Source Selection Methodology

The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with DoD Source Selection Procedures, paragraph 3.1.2.2 Methodology 2: Combined Technical/Risk Rating. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the significant strengths, strength, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. The following adjectival ratings will be used for Factor 1 (Technical) and Factor 2 (Cybersecurity).

• All required RMF documentation to support a successful A&I assessment

SP4705-26-R-0004 17

Factor 3: Past Performance

This factor will assess the offeror's record of relevant and recent performance. The Government will evaluate the quality and relevance of the offeror's performance on contracts of similar scope, size, and complexity. The evaluation will focus on performance related to:

A. Subfactor 3A: EVSE maintenance to ensure system availability, B. Subfactor 3B: IT/OT systems maintenance to ensure network availability, C. Subfactor 3C: cybersecurity compliance (especially RMF), D. Subfactor 3D: and federal contract management. The Government may use information provided by the offeror and data from other sources, such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

Sources of Past Performance Information: Evaluation of past performance factor will be based on information provided by the offeror’s proposal and information obtained from external sources including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). If the Government’s information conflicts with assertions made in the Offeror’s proposal, the Offeror will be asked to clarify this information.

Performance Confidence Assessment: Past performance information will be reviewed and assessed to determine its recency, relevancy and quality in order to assign a Performance Confidence Assessment rating. In the case of offerors for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance. In this case, the offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “Neutral.” Each offeror shall be assigned one rating from Table 3c.

Table 3c. Performance Confidence Assessment Rating

Adjectival Rating Description

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

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

SP4705-26-R-0004 18

Price Analysis: Price analysis will be completed to determine proposed prices are fair and reasonable. The Offeror will propose a total firm-fixed price that will include all costs associated with meeting the task order requirement. A price analysis will be conducted to determine the total evaluated price to support the selection of the awarded Contractor. When contracting on a firm-fixed-price basis, comparison of the proposed prices will usually satisfy the requirement to perform a price analysis since competition normally establishes price reasonableness, and a cost analysis need not be performed.

Price Reasonableness: For a price to be reasonable, it shall represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to the prices in the market.

Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404.
