As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The government will utilize trade-off to determine best value. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Technical Past Performance Price

To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Technical factor (to include all sub-factors). Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offer. If non-price factors are evaluated as comparatively equal between two or more Offerors, Price may become a determinative factor. The firm that represents the best value to the Government will be selected for award in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(1) Evaluation of Quotations or Offers.

The following evaluation factors and sub-factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub-factors described below. The Government reserves the right to make award based upon the Price factor in the event that the Technical and Past Performance evaluation results of the offerors’ proposals are substantially the same.

SUB- FACTOR 1: Section 1 - Narrative - Quoter’s are required to provide a narrative of their corporate experience in proving Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, to include: professional, comprehensive and confidential counseling and referral services for employees having a wide range of personal problems (e.g. alcohol abuse, drug abuse, financial, personal, emotional, psychological, family, legal and stress related issues) to illustrate how they will meet the requirements state in the PWS as well, as resolved any issues that come up.

Assigning Technical Ratings: Each offer/proposal will receive either an “Outstanding,” “Good,” “Acceptable,” “Marginal” or “Unacceptable” rating as follows:

Outstanding: Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good: Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal: Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

Part II – Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will consider each Quotes demonstrated Recent and Relevant record of performance for similar efforts of equal or greater complexity supplying services that meet this solicitation's requirements. A past performance rating as prescribe in 52.212-2 – Evaluation of Offerors shall be assigned for each Quoter after evaluating the recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements.

Submission with the offer of references of similar work that can be verified by the Contract Specialist prior to award. A minimum of two references are required. No more than four references shall be submitted.

General description of the project including aspects deemed relevant to the this effort; (similar in scope, size and complexity of this requirements in the PWS, and whether the work was performed as a prime or subcontractor.

Offerors are requested to provide references for federal government contracts. However, other contracts for state and local governments or for other private entities will be accepted in the absence of federal contracts.

There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation:

Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. Recent past performance is defined as not more than three (3) years from the RFQ release date; relevant in terms of similar nature of work, size, and complexity.

A relevancy determination of the offeror’s (including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)) past performance will be made. In determining relevancy for individual contract, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror’s contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. The past performance information provided in the proposal and obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Performance Confidence Assessment – The final step is to arrive at a single consensus performance confidence assessment for the Offeror. Assigning Past Performance Ratings: Each Past Performance submission will receive either a “Substantial Confidence,” “Satisfactory Confidence,” “Limited Confidence,” “No Confidence” or “Unknown Confidence (Neutral)” rating as follows:

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

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.

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.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral): 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.

Part 3: Price: Price will not be assigned an adjectival rating; however, evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3. Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable and complete.

Reasonableness. The Government will evaluate the price reasonableness of the offerors' proposed prices to ensure that in its nature and amount, it does not exceed what would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government shall employ price analysis techniques in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 to determine that a proposed price is fair and reasonable.

Completeness. The Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges with offerors, but exchanges are not anticipated or intended. Since discussions are not anticipated or intended, the Government requires complete quotes with respect to price. A complete proposal will include all information required by this solicitation.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The Government will evaluate option pricing in accordance with 52.212-2(b). Additionally, as part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's base period prices to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option period (6-months) and 6-months – FAR 52.217-8 of the second option period. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8 or FAR 52.217-9. The total sum of the base period and all option periods will represent the Total Evaluated Price. The Total Evaluated Price must be determined as fair and reasonable by the KO prior to award.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
