However, if the offeror uses alternate materials to manufacture the PDM(s) a letter must be supplied with them stating (i) which materials depart from the end item specification and (ii) that, although the materials used in producing the PDM(s) differ from those specified, the materials required by the specification will be utilized under any resultant contract.

NOTE: Generally, the use of alternate materials will not affect the rating of the PDM, either favorably or negatively when the use of the alternate materials is identified in accordance with the requirements of this section. However, the Government reserves the right to give a negative rating to (a) PDM(s) that is(are) made with materials that depart from the end item specification and the use of those alternate materials was not identified in accordance with the requirements of this section. Accordingly, to preclude a negative assessment of a PDM that is comprised of materials that are not in accordance with the specification(s), it is in the offeror's best interest to identify any and all alternate materials that have been used.

Although the offeror is permitted to use alternate materials to construct the PDM(s), the offeror is not permitted to utilize alternate manufacturing operations or change the construction/design of the PDM. The PDM must be manufactured (i) at the same facility as the production quantity and (ii) must be in accordance with applicable specifications, including the placement of the labels, unless otherwise identified.

(a) The Government will make award to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer conforms with the solicitation and is most advantageous to the Government, cost or price, and other evaluation factors considered. The Government will award a contract only to concerns whose technical proposals establish that they can meet the requirements of the Government. For this solicitation, all evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are -

[ ] significantly less important than cost or price. As the evaluated cost/price becomes more equal, relative importance of all other evaluation factors becomes more significant.

[ ] approximately equal to cost or price.

[X] significantly more important than cost or price. As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated cost or price becomes more important.

(b) Non-Cost/Price Evaluation Factors (listed in descending order of importance):

(1) Product Demonstration Model(s) --Subfactors*:

(a) Manufacturing

(b) Visual Requirements

(c) Dimensional Requirements (*NOTE: The Product Demonstration Model subfactors above are of equal importance. The overall PDM rating will be no higher than the lowest subfactor rating.)

(2) Past Performance / Experience --Subfactors*:

(a) Experience

(b) Quality of Items / Delivery Performance (*NOTE: The Past Performance / Experience subfactors above are of equal importance.)

(c) Compliance with Contractual Socioeconomic Subcontracting/Mentoring Goals (*NOTE: The Past Performance / Experience subfactors above are of equal importance.)

The Non-Cost/Price Evaluation Factors listed above will be evaluated and rated in accordance with the criteria listed on the pages which immediately follow.

Page | 24

ATTACHMENT: SPM1C1-10-R0077

The characteristics that will be tested or evaluated are conformance to:

(a) manufacturing

(b) visual requirements

(c) dimensional requirements of the specification/commercial item description.

Note Well:

(1) An “UNSATISFACTORY” rating in any of the subfactors will be cause for an Overall Unsatisfactory rating of the PDM.

(2) The offeror shall produce both the PDM and the production quantity at the same facility and certify to this effect by submission of the PDM.

(3) Approval of the PDM as part of this technical proposal does not relieve the potential awardee from the requirements of the RFP.

(4) Manufacturing operations for the placement of labels must be completed to indicate compliance with the specification/commercial item description. The labels need not be printed for the purpose of the PDM; however, the end item size must be indicated.

(5) An Overall Unsatisfactory of the PDM rating will result in the rejection of the entire offer.

(2) Evaluation of Past Performance / Offeror Experience From two years before the solicitation closing date, the Government will assess offeror-submitted past performance information, as well as relevant information from any other sources, for use as an indicator to successful contract performance. Specific subfactors to be evaluated are as follows:

(a) Experience

(b) Quality of Items / Delivery Performance.

(c) Compliance with Contractual Socioeconomic Subcontracting/Mentoring Goals

The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, volume of business and general trends in performance will be considered. Offerors may be given an opportunity to address especially unfavorable reports of past performance and the offeror's response or lack thereof will be taken into consideration.

SECTION M: EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Page | 25

• Exceptional.

o PDM: The PDM meets the stated requirements of the acquisition documentation (i.e., specification, commercial item description, purchase description, etc.,) and has no deficiencies.

o Past Performance: The offeror’s record of past performance (experience, quality of items / delivery performance, and, if an unrestricted acquisition, compliance with contractual socioeconomic subcontracting / mentoring goals) demonstrates that the offeror meets contractual requirements and exceeds many requirements to the Government’s benefit. Contractual performance is accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror were highly effective. The offeror has extensive experience with items/services of the similar kind and complexity as the solicited items/services. Experience is on commercial or government contracts.

An overall rating of this magnitude indicates a comprehensive understanding of the technical requirements and an ability to provide an acceptable quality product/service with the highest probability of successful contract performance.

• Very Good.

o PDM: The PDM meets the stated requirements of the acquisition documentation (i.e., specification, commercial item description, purchase description, etc.,), but contains a deficiency or deficiencies that are not significant and are very easily correctable during production."

o Past Performance: Past performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s benefit. Contractual performance is accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror were effective. The offeror’s experience is with items/services of the similar kind and complexity as the solicited items/services and is on commercial or government contracts.

An overall rating of this magnitude indicates an understanding of the technical requirements and an ability to provide an acceptable quality product/service with a very good probability of successful contract performance.

• Satisfactory.

o PDM: The PDM meets the stated requirements of the acquisition documentation (i.e., specification, commercial item description, purchase description, etc.,), but contains a deficiency or deficiencies that require preventative corrective action in production.

o Past Performance: Past performance meets contractual requirements. Contractual performance includes some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror appear or were satisfactory. The offeror has little experience with items/services of the similar kind and complexity as the solicited items/services and is on commercial or government contracts.

An overall rating of this magnitude indicates an understanding of the technical requirements and an ability to provide an acceptable quality product/service with a reasonable probability of successful contract performance.

• Marginal.

o PDM: The PDM does not meet all the stated requirements of the acquisition documentation (i.e., specification, commercial item description, purchase description, etc.,), but has the potential to become acceptable through significant corrective action. The PDM exhibits a significant deficiency or deficiencies that indicate that the offeror did not completely understand the technical requirements and an inability to produce an acceptable item.

o Past Performance: Past performance does not meet some contractual requirements. Contractual performance contains serious problem(s) for which the offeror’s corrective actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented. The offeror has experience with items/services of a lesser kind and complexity as the solicited items/services and is on commercial or government contracts.

An overall rating of this magnitude indicates a marginal quality product/service and a questionable probability of successful contract performance.

• Unsatisfactory.

o PDM: The PDM substantially fails to meet many significant design related and/or other requirements. of the acquisition documentation (i.e., specification, commercial item description, purchase description, etc.,), and is indicative of a lack of understanding the technical requirements. The PDM exhibits a very significant deficiency or deficiencies determined by the evaluation team to render the PDM completely unacceptable for its intended function.

The PDM cannot become acceptable without extensive preventative correction action or remedy that would be tantamount to a new PDM.

o Past Performance: Past performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery did not occur in a timely manner. Contractual performance contains serious problem(s) and corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An overall rating of this magnitude indicates a…
