PART IV - REPRESENTATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION M

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD USING

BEST VALUE PROCESS, PERFORMANCE PRICE TRADEOFF (PPT) SOURCE SELECTION PROCEDURES

A. Basis for Contract Award This acquisition will utilize the Best Value Process, Performance price Tradeoff source selection procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.101-1, as supplemented, to make an assessment for a best value award decision.

Tradeoffs will be made only between price and past performance among those offerors who have been determined technically acceptable. Award will be made to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 15.101, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements and is judged, based on the evaluation factors, to represent the best value to the Government. The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Defense Logistics Agency the greatest confidence that it will best meet the requirements affordably. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determined that the technical acceptable, superior past performance of the higher price offeror outweighs the cost difference. While the Government source selection evaluation team and the SSA will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective and, therefore, professional judgement is implicit throughout the entire process. The Government intends to award without discussions/reserves the right to award without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

B. Number of Contracts to be Awarded The Government intends to select one contractor for the program. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposals and prices submitted and the availability of funds.

C. Rejection of Unrealistic Offers The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low in cost/price when compared to Government estimates, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.

D. Correction Potential of Proposals The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the “correction potential” of any deficiency or proposal inadequacy.

The judgment of such “correction potential” is within the sole discretion of the Government. If an aspect of an offeror’s proposal not meeting the Government’s requirements is not considered correctable, the offeror may be eliminated from the competitive range.

PRE-AWARD SURVEY

The Government may conduct a pre-award survey (PAS) as part of this source selection. Results of the PAS (if conducted) will be evaluated to determine each offeror’s capability to meet the requirements of the solicitation.

PLANT VISITS

In the event discussions are necessary, plant visits may be conducted during the evaluation phase to develop knowledge for judging the potential for correction of the deficiencies.

SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements; such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors, subfactors to be eligible for award. Any aspect of the proposal judged to be unacceptable would render the entire proposal unacceptable. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being removed from consideration for award. Any exceptions to the solicitation’s terms and conditions must be fully explained and justified.

EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR AWARD

(IAW FAR 13.106-2(b), 14.201-5(c), and 15.204-5(c)) For the purposes of award, offers will be evaluated for acceptability of evaluation factors described below:

FACTOR 1: Technical FACTOR 2: Cost/Price FACTOR 3: Past Performance

a. Order of Importance For this solicitation, technical acceptability is a prerequisite to the best value analysis and potential trade-off between Price and Past Performance. The Order of importance is used to explain how the other factors will be traded off on technically acceptable proposals.

For all technically acceptable proposals, Factor 2 (Cost/Price) will be evaluated on a basis approximately equal to Factor 3 (Past Performance). Tradeoffs may only be made between price and past performance among those offerors who have been determined technically acceptable.

b. Evaluation Methodology All proposals will first be evaluated for technical acceptability. Second, price will be evaluated. Concurrent with the price evaluation, past performance will be evaluated. A decision will then be made as to which proposal provides the best value to the Government.

c. Technical Factor

(1) Technical proposals are not required. Technical acceptability will be determined based on the offerors compliance with the requirement as stated in Section B Schedule and/or any referenced specifications, engineering notes and all other attachments herein.

(2) The delivery schedule will be evaluated based on the dates established in Section B of the solicitation. It should be noted that the Government’s required delivery is based on the Requirements’ need date, and may not be attainable.

Therefore, if a proposed delivery does not meet the Government’s required delivery, the proposed delivery may be considered responsive.

(3) Qualification Requirements must be met IAW Clause 52.209-1, “QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (FEB 1995)” prior to award. Contract award will not be delayed to allow an offeror completion of qualification requirements/process.

Technical acceptability will be ascertained based on one of the ratings described below. Proposals will be evaluated for compliance with solicitation; receipt of a responsive proposal to deliver the supplies in accordance with the solicitation and all other attachments herein.

Acceptable – The proposal meets specified minimum requirements necessary for acceptable contract performance.

Unacceptable – The proposal fails to meet specified minimum requirements necessary for contract performance.

Proposals with an unacceptable rating are not awardable.

d. Cost/Price Factor (IAW 5315.305(a)(1))

(1) The offeror’s cost/price proposal will be evaluated for award purposes by multiplying the proposed unit price by the total quantity. The quantity utilized for evaluation will be based on the firm quantity incorporated in Schedule B.

(2) Unrealistically low proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the bases that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic proposal.

(3) Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment or unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. The Government shall analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or subline items. Offers that are determine to be unbalanced may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the government.

(4) Cost/price proposals submitted by vendors shall be evaluated by multiplying the proposed unit price by the quantity desired by the Government to determine the contractor’s total price.

Proposals for Bid A will be evaluated as follows:

The contractor’s proposal for CLIN 0001AA, CLIN 0001AB, and CLIN 0001AC added together for purposes of evaluation. The Evaluation Cost factor for First Article $16,400.00) will be added to this total. This cumulative price of these factors will be used in evaluation of proposals submitted under Bid A.

Proposal for Bid B will be evaluated as follows:

The contractor’s proposal for the quantities under CLIN 0002 is the price factor that will be used in evaluation. Evaluation of award will be based on the proposed unit price multiplied by the required quantity.

(5) If incidental or miscellaneous expenses not related to specific CLIN structure accompany vendor proposals, these charges shall be added to the total CLIN cost/price to reach the final total cost/price proposed to the Government. In addition ‘Price Analysis’ shall be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, to determine ‘Reasonableness’ on all offers submitted by vendors.

*Unrealistically low costs/prices proposed either initially or subsequently may be grounds for elimination of an offer from the competition and shall be based upon the vendor not understanding requirements or because an unrealistic proposal was submitted.

e. Past Performance Factor The Past Performance Evaluation is accomplished by reviewing aspects of an offeror's (1) relevant past performance and (2) recent past performance, focusing on and targeting performance, which is relevant to the technical requirement. In determining relevance, consideration will be given to the likeliness and similarity of the effort to include contract scope, contract type, and contract schedule. This information may include data on parts manufactured by other divisions, critical subcontractors, or teaming contractors, if such resources significantly influence the proposed requirement. The Government may consider relevant work as those performed for agencies of the federal, state, or local governments and commercial customers. Where relevant performance record indicates performance problems, the Government will consider the number and severity of the problems and the appropriateness and effectiveness of any corrective actions taken (not just planned or promised). The Government may review more recent contracts or performance evaluations to ensure corrective actions have been implemented and to evaluate their effectiveness.

The Government will evaluate the offeror's past performance by reviewing the offeror’s record of supplying products that comply with contract requirements, including cost and schedule. Under the Past Performance factor, a Performance Confidence Assessment Rating represents the evaluation of an offeror's present and past work record to assess the Government’s confidence in the offeror's probability of successfully performing as proposed.

The offeror is not required to provide Past Performance information. Past performance information will be determined primarily based on the offeror’s “Supplier Risk Score” in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) at the time of the close of the solicitation period. Past performance may also be obtained through the contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), similarly systems of other Government departments and agencies (MOCAS, etc), questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of this acquisition, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) channels, interviews with program managers and contracting officers, and other sources known to the Government, including commercial sources.

Each offeror will receive an integrated Performance Confidence Assessment rating, which is the rating for the Past Performance factor. Although the past performance evaluation focuses on performance that is recent and relevant to the technical requirement, the resulting Performance Confidence Assessment is made at the factor level and represents an overall evaluation of contractor performance. The Past Performance factor will receive one of the following performance confidence assessment ratings IAW the Department of Defense (DoD) Source Selection Procedures.

Rating Description

SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the 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 confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

LIMITED CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

NO CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: With regards to the best value award decision, all offerors receiving the same past performance rating will be considered equal for the Past Performance Factor.

Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and, as a result, will receive a "Neutral confidence" rating for the Past Performance factor. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

Offerors with adverse past performance information to which they have not previously had an opportunity to respond will be given the opportunity to provide clarifications concerning the adverse information.

E. Discussions It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions, therefore, it is imperative that offeror’s submit their best terms initially. However, if during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs), and the Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) will be considered in making the source selection decision.
