SECTION II. EVALUATION PROCEDURES

1. Basis for Award

FAR 52.212‐2 – Evaluation – Commercial Items will be used for evaluation procedures.

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award all offers that do not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation, at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range;

and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the Lowest Price Technically

Acceptable (LPTA) proposal.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary.

The Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedure is appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal(s) with the lowest evaluated price.

Reverse Auctions will be considered with this requirement.

An overall technical rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall technical proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE”. A final overall technical rating of

“UNACCEPTABLE” makes the proposal ineligible for award.

2. Evaluation Factors for Award

Factor 1: Technical Capability o Sub‐Factor A: Quality Control/ Stock Rotation Plan

Factor 2: Past Performance

Factor 3: Price

3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Technical Acceptability and Recent Past Performance and Relevant Material Experience:

i. Technical Acceptability‐ the offeror must provide/ document;

Successful capability to provide Steel Grade 300M to the specifications identified in the Performance Work Statement.

All specifications (including Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)), who qualified/ certified and if qualification/ certification is current.

A Quality Control/ Stock Rotation Plan in accordance with the Performance Work Statement.

b. Recent and Relevant Past Performance‐

Evaluations and all other Recent and Relevant Past Performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., PPIRS, past performance documents, and information obtained for any other source) reflect a trend of satisfactory performance considering:

o A pattern of meeting required material specifications and o A pattern of timely delivery.

Experience in providing similar product/ services under a similar DoD contract in the last three (3) years. At a minimum, the documentation must include the contract number, award date, delivery date(s), and quantity.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all

CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/ subsidiary/ affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.
