SP4705-15-Q-0014 Page 6 of 13

(E) Acquisition Authority

The Government plans to award one Blanket Purchase Agreement in accordance with FAR

13.303 with an ordering period of three years from the date of award. This acquisition, a 100% small business set-aside, is for a commercial item in accordance with FAR Part 12 and will be evaluated in accordance with FAR Part 15 – Contracting by Negotiation.

In accordance with FAR 15.101 Best value continuum, the source selection process for this acquisition is lowest price technically acceptable. This process will be used during the evaluation process pursuant to FAR 15.101-2(a) which states, “The lowest price technically acceptable source selection process is appropriate when best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.”

(F) Contractor Selection

Selection of a contractor will be based on a best value determination consistent with the evaluation factors described in the Evaluation Factors for Award section of the solicitation.

Pursuant to the provisions of the FAR 52.212(g) and 52.215-1(f), the Government intends to evaluate and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(ix) The provisions at 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Item (October 2014) is applicable to this acquisition and the factors are listed below.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: technical capability, past performance, and price. Technical capability and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Technical capability and past performance are equal in importance.

Factor 1 – Technical Capability

The technical proposal will be evaluated on the degree to which the offeror’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements as identified in the Statement of Work.

Factor 2 – Past Performance

The past performance proposal will be evaluated based on the degree to which current and previous, within the last three years, contract efforts indicate the probability of the offeror’s performance successfully meeting the required objectives throughout the performance period. Evaluation will investigate information furnished by the offeror to ensure they have consistently demonstrated a commitment to administration, customer satisfaction, timely delivery, and quality goods and services in prior contracts of similar scope and complexity.

There are two aspects to this evaluation: (1) the determination of relevant experience of other contracts to the requirements of the solicitation and (2) a determination of how well the offeror performed on those contracts. These two aspects, when combined, will result in the offeror’s performance confidence assessment rating.

Aspect One: Relevant: In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, the Government shall evaluate the following: (1) performance within the last 3 years; (2) similarity of service; (3) complexity, and (4) dollar value.

SP4705-15-Q-0014 Page 7 of 13

Aspect Two: Quality of Past Performance: The second aspect is to determine how well the offeror performed on the contracts. The past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror 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, PPIRS, CPARs or other sources available to the Government.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Offerors are advised that the Government may use information gained from any source known to the Government to evaluate past performance, provided such information is recent, within the last 3 years.

Factor 3 – Price

The Government will evaluate the proposed total acquisition price in order to make a fair and reasonable price determination. Other factors such as competitive offers, market price indices and other price evaluation techniques may be utilized in evaluating price. Evaluations will consider the amount of effort being subcontracted to ensure compliance of FAR Clause 52.219-14 which states for services, “At least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern.” A price analysis will be used to determine the total evaluated price to support the selection of the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror.

The contractor shall not use, disclose, or reproduce proprietary data, which bears a restrictive legend, other than as required in the performance of this SOW.
