Services are essential if the effectiveness of defense systems or operations has the potential to be seriously impaired by the interruption of these services, as determined by the appropriate functional commander or civilian equivalent.

(2) "Mission-essential functions" means those organizational activities that must be performed under all circumstances to achieve DoD component missions or responsibilities, as determined by the appropriate functional commander or civilian equivalent. Failure to perform or sustain these functions would significantly affect DoD's ability to provide vital services or exercise authority, direction, and control.

(b) The Government has identified all of the contractor services performed under this contract as essential contractor services in support of mission essential functions.

(c)(1) The Mission-Essential Contractor Services Plan submitted by the Contractor, is incorporated in this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall maintain and update its plan as necessary. The Contractor shall provide all plan updates to the Contracting Officer for approval.

(3) As directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall participate in training events, exercises, and drills associated with Government efforts to test the effectiveness of continuity of operations procedures and practices.

(d)(1) Notwithstanding any other clause of this contract, the contractor shall be responsible to perform those services identified as essential contractor services during crisis situations (as directed by the Contracting Officer), in accordance with its Mission-Essential Contractor Services Plan.

(2) In the event the Contractor anticipates not being able to perform any of the essential contractor services identified in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section during a crisis situation, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer or other designated representative as expeditiously as possible and use its best efforts to cooperate with the Government in the Government's efforts to maintain the continuity of operations.

(e) The Government reserves the right in such crisis situations to use Federal employees, military personnel or contract support from other contractors, or to enter into new contracts for essential contractor services.

(f) . The Contractor shall segregate and separately identify all costs incurred in Changes continuing performance of essential services in a crisis situation. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of an increase or decrease in costs within ninety days after continued performance has been directed by the Contracting Officer, or within any additional period that the Contracting Officer approves in writing, but not later than the date of final payment under the contract. The Contractor's notice shall include the Contractor's proposal for an equitable adjustment and any data supporting the increase or decrease in the form prescribed by the Contracting Officer. The parties shall negotiate an equitable price adjustment to the contract price, delivery schedule, or both as soon as is practicable after receipt of the Contractor's proposal.

(g) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (g), in subcontracts for the essential services.

/Delivery Order the Offeror has performed under this ordering type contractual vehicle. Not the ordering vehicle itself or a combination of orders under the vehicle.

Paragraph 52.212-1(m) is hereby added:

(m) The non-FAR Part 12, discretionary FAR, DFARS, AFARS provisions included herein are incorporated into this solicitation either by reference or in full text. If incorporated by reference, see provision 52.252-1 herein for locations where full text can be found.

(End of Addendum)

Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified from:

Addendum to 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Paragraph 52.212-2(a) is hereby amended, as follows:

The Government will award a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is the best value to the Government.

Award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process. The Government will initially list proposals from lowest to highest price. The Government will evaluate the lowest priced proposal first. If that proposal is determined technically unacceptable, the Government will evaluate the next lowest priced proposal and continue in that manner until a proposal is rated Technically Acceptable. If a proposal is rated Technically Unacceptable, the

Government will not evaluate any other factor. USING THIS PROCEDURE, THE GOVERNMENT The following evaluation MIGHT NOT EVALUATE ALL PROPOSALS. factors shall be used to evaluate the offer:

Factor 1 - Technical Capability:

Technical capability ratings reflect the Government's confidence in the offeror's ability, as demonstrated in its written technical proposal, to perform the requirements stated in the solicitation. The Government will make an independent judgment of the probability of success.

Prospective contractors shall demonstrate that the service offered complies with the technical requirements described in the Performance Work Statement by submission of a written capability statement with their offer which specifically must address adherence to the PWS. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than "Acceptable" must be achieved in technical acceptability. If an offeror does not indicate whether its proposed services meets a certain minimum requirement, the Government will determine that it does not. adjectival The following ratings will be used in evaluating each offeror's written technical proposal:

ACCEPTABLE: To receive an acceptable rating the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the offeror fully understands and is capable of performing the minimum requirements of the Performance Work Statement.

UNACCEPTABLE: An unacceptable rating will be assessed on any offeror that presents a proposal that fails to clearly demonstrate that the offeror fully understands and is technically capable to perform the minimum requirements of the Performance Work Statement .

Factor 2 - Price:

The Government will evaluate the pricing to determine if it represents a fair and reasonable price once the proposal has received an acceptable rating for technical capability. Offerors' pricing must be determined to be fair and reasonable in order to be eligible for an award. Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. A Responsibility Determination will be made prior to award in accordance with FAR 9.104-1. Offerors shall indicate a price for each CLIN to be eligible for award.

Paragraph (b) is hereby replaced with the following:

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. In addition, given that FAR Clause 52.217- 8, Option to Extend Services, provides that the Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract (i.e., the rates in effect when the Option to Extend Services clause is exercised), for purposes of evaluating this option, the contracting officer will consider the prices submitted for each CLIN, since those would be the binding prices should this option be exercised. Evaluation of this option shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, 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.

(End of provision)

To:

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND

COMMERCIAL SERVICES

Paragraph 52.212-2 (a) is hereby added: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. Award will be made using the Tradeoff source selection process. This process permits tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced offer. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The Government will review proposals received to determine if they are compliant to the solicitation requirements. A compliant proposal is one that meets all of the terms, conditions and specifications in the solicitation. The Offeror must provide all documents listed and comply with all proposal instructions in order for their proposal to be considered "compliant" to this solicitation.

Only compliant proposals will be evaluated for award.

Award shall be made on a "Past Performance Price Tradeoff" basis. Past performance is significantly more important than Price. An Offeror's proposed Technical Proposal will be evaluated to determine if the proposed Technical Proposal is acceptable or unacceptable in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in this solicitation. If an Offeror's Technical Proposal is determined to be unacceptable, the Offeror will no longer be considered for award, and no further evaluation will be conducted.

The Government seeks to award to the Offeror who gives the Agency the greatest confidence that it will best meet or exceed our requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government and whose compensation plan (s) has been determined to be "Acceptable." This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced Offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Contracting Officer reasonably determines that the past and present performance of the higher priced Offeror outweighs the price difference. This may result in an award to a higher-rated, higher-priced offer if the Government determines that the past performance of the higher-priced offer outweighs the price difference. The selection process is subjective by nature and professional judgment is implicit throughout the tradeoff process. The contract will be awarded to the Offeror whose proposal, based upon the evaluation criteria, represents the best value to the Government.

Award may be made without discussions with Offerors (except communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification). Therefore, the offer should contain the Offeror's best terms and conditions.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal: technical proposal, past performance, and price. The Offeror's technical proposal will be evaluated as either "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable". If an Offeror's Technical Proposal is "Unacceptable," the Offeror will not be eligible for award and will not be further evaluated. Past Performance is significantly more important than Price.

Factor 1 - Technical

Factor 2 - Past Performance

Factor 3 - Price

FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL

Technical capability ratings reflect the Government's confidence in the offeror's ability, as demonstrated in its written technical proposal, to perform the requirements stated in the solicitation. The Government will make an independent judgment of the probability of success.

Prospective contractors shall demonstrate that the service offered complies with the technical requirements described in the Performance Work Statement by submission of a written capability statement with their offer which specifically must address adherence to the PWS. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than "Acceptable" must be achieved in technical acceptability. If an offeror does not indicate whether its proposed services meets a certain minimum requirement, the Government will determine that it does not. The following adjectival ratings will be used in evaluating each offeror's written technical proposal:

ACCEPTABLE: To receive an acceptable rating the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the offeror fully understands and is capable of performing the minimum requirements of the Performance Work Statement.

UNACCEPTABLE: An unacceptable rating will be assessed on any offeror that presents a proposal that fails to clearly demonstrate that the offeror fully understands and is technically capable to perform the minimum requirements of the Performance Work Statement.

FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

This factor is assessed with an overall Performance Confidence Assessment (PCA) rating (Table 3), which is based on an integrated assessment of the Offeror's recent, relevant, and quality past performance.

The resulting performance confidence assessment rating is determined at the factor level and represents an overall evaluation of contractor performance. Offerors without a record of recent, relevant, and quality past performance or for whom information on past performance is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned 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.

NOTE: Past performance reference projects performed by a proposed teaming partner or a proposed subcontractor will only be considered if: (1) the Offeror submits at least one recent, relevant or very relevant past performance project that the Offeror has performed, as a prime; (2) the teaming partner or subcontractor is identified as a teaming partner or subcontractor in the administrative volume of the proposal, and (3) the role and percentage of work proposed to be performed by the teaming partner or subcontractor on the proposed requirement is detailed in the proposal. Items (2) and (3) shall be identified in the administrative volume.

In the instance that an offeror submits more than three (3) Project Summary Sheets, only the first three (3) will be evaluated.

Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information contained in the Offeror's submittals will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed within the past three (3) years from the closing date of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

Relevancy Ratings: An assessment of the recent past performance information will be made to determine its relevancy. This information will be evaluated to determine how closely the services performed under those contracts relate to the scope, magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Table 2. Relevancy

Relevancy Rating

Adjectival Rating Description

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 Quality Assessment

After the determination of recency and relevancy, the Government will assess the performance quality (how well the contractor performed on the contracts). The Government will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the Offeror's performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate these into the Performance Confidence Assessment rating. A separate quality assessment rating will not be assigned; rather, the Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating is based on the Offeror's overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance.

Confidence Ratings: The Government will use the following definitions/ratings in Table 3 when Proposals with a Performance making an overall Performance Confidence Assessment rating.

Confidence Assessment Rating of less than Neutral shall not be further evaluated.

Table 3. Performance Confidence Assessment Rating

Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Methods

Rating Description

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.

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.

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 successfully perform the required effort.

FACTOR 3 - PRICE

The Government will evaluate the pricing to determine if it represents a fair and reasonable price once the proposal has received an acceptable rating for technical capability and past performance.

Offerors' pricing must be determined to be fair and reasonable in order to be eligible for an award.

Award will be made on a Performance-Price Tradeoff (PPT) basis. A Responsibility Determination will be made prior to award in accordance with FAR 9.104-1. Offerors shall indicate a price for each CLIN to be eligible for award.

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all ordering periods. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the prices are significantly unbalanced.

The award decision will be based on the best value offered to the Government and not solely on price and price related factors. In making the award decision, the Contracting Officer will consider the evaluated rating of all factors. Proposals which receive ratings below "Neutral Confidence" and /or a rating of "Unacceptable" will not be eligible for award and will not be further evaluated.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, 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.
