3.0 EVALUATION CRITERIA

The acquisition will employ the use of “best value” trade-off process. Offerors will be required to submit both non-price and price proposals. Non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. As proposals become more equal in merit of non-price factors, price becomes more important.

A. Non-Price Factors

Technical Approach and Management Approach are of equal importance; and are both more important than Past Performance/Corporate Experience. It is the Government’s objective to obtain the highest technical quality at a fair and reasonable price.

ASSIST Request for Proposal (RFP) SP7000-15-R-1064

Evaluation Factor #1 - Technical Approach

1A. Subfactor A: Technical Approach The offeror shall provide a detailed description of its Technical Approach that will ensure the successful execution of the requirements outlined in the PWS.

1C. Subfactor C: Key Personnel

Certain skilled, experienced, professional, and/or technical personnel are essential for successful accomplishment of the work to be performed under the resultant contract. These are defined as “key personnel” and their resumes are to be submitted as part of the technical proposal for evaluation purposes. Offerors will be evaluated on appropriateness of the staffing mix in regards to the distribution of the tasks and subtasks described in PWS. The proposed key personnel assigned to the effort will be evaluated to determine whether the individuals possess the requisite qualifications and experience, including the benefits and competencies that those individuals bring, to ensure the successful accomplishment of ASSIST Program duties required by the PWS. Key Personnel proposed shall, at a minimum, clearly demonstrate that the person possesses the Certifications, Special and Minimum Skill Set Requirements as set forth in the RFP and PWS.

The offeror will be evaluated on the following:

a) Detailed understanding of the requirement set forth in the PWS.

b) Appropriateness and feasibility of the offeror’s management approach to carry out the requirements in the PWS.

c) Detailed description of how the offeror will manage its workflow support team capable of performing routine maintenance updates to the existing workflows.

These summaries shall outline the type of work performed and in what ways the previous work described is similar to the current requirement.

ASSIST Request for Proposal (RFP) SP7000-15-R-1064

• Each summary must list the name, address, point of contact, telephone number, dollar value, contract number, and the period of performance.

• Describe any significant problems or issues that occurred during performance of the contract and how they resolved those issues.

The Government may consider additional past performance sources including the CPARS, FAPIIS, and PPIRS system.

The past performance/corporate experience relevancy ratings will be used to rate the quality and usefulness of the past performance information provided as it applies to a performance confidence assessment.

B. Price

The total acquisition price will be determined by summing the proposed evaluated prices for each of the CLINs for a 60 months total. The total acquisition price evaluation will include all firm fixed price line items.

EVALUATION RATING SCALE

EVALUTION FACTOR #2

Past Performance/Corporate Experience will first be evaluated to determine if the Offeror has relevant or non-relevant past performance in the areas of similarity of service/support, complexity, dollar value, and contract type.

NOTE: There are two aspects to the Past Performance/Corporate Experience evaluation.

Factor 2: Past Performance/Corporate Experience Relevancy Rating (Aspect One)

Very Relevant Offeror’s past performance demonstrates contracts/accounts of same or similar services as proposed in the RFP that includes working with a document distribution system in a secure environment.

Past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Offeror’s past performance demonstrates contract/accounts that possess some of the services as proposed in the RFP that include similar scope within a secure environment.

Past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Offeror’s past performance demonstrates contract/accounts that possess some of the services as proposed in the RFP that include similar scope, however are not executed in a secure environment.

Past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

ASSIST Request for Proposal (RFP) SP7000-15-R-1064

Non-Relevant Past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Past Performance/Corporate Experience will then be evaluated to determine how well the Offeror performed on past contracts. Sources of Past Performance Information are information as solicited, past performance information from questionnaires and other past performance information such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) or Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS).

Factor 2: Past Performance/Corporate Experience Performance Rating (Aspect Two)

EXCEPTIONAL Offeror’s past performance record indicates that the offeror consistently meets contract requirements and exceeds many to the Government’s benefit. Past contractual performance has been accomplished without problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror have been highly effective.

VERY GOOD Offeror’s past performance record indicates that the offeror consistently meets contract requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s benefit. Past contractual performance has been accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror have been effective.

SATISFACTORY Offeror’s past performance record indicates that the offeror has met contract requirements. Offeror’s past performance contains reports of some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror appear to have been or were satisfactory.

MARGINAL Offeror’s past performance record indicates that the offeror has not met some contract requirements. Offeror’s past performance contains reports of serious problems for which the offeror did not identify corrective actions or proposed corrective actions that were only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

UNSATISFACTORY Offeror’s past performance record indicates that the offeror has not met most contractual requirements, recovery was not accomplished in a timely manner and proposed corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

NEUTRAL Offeror has no relevant record of past performance. Offeror will not be rated favorably or unfavorably.

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE
