52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items NOV 2021

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

In accordance with FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 15; multiple IDIQ’s will be awarded. The Government will award multiple contracts, no more than 5, but reserves the right to award less. The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the four evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance, Small Business Subcontracting

Plan, and Price. The Technical Capability is more important as Past Performance. When combined, Technical

Capability and Past Performance are significantly more important than Price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Technical Factor (to include all subfactors) and the

Small Business Participation factor. Small Business Subcontracting Plan is less important than Price. Additionally, any other than small business offeror must have an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan to receive an award in accordance with FAR 19.702(a). Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. NOTE: ALL NON-PRICED FACTORS COMBINED ARE significantly more important THAN PRICE.

A. FACTORS AND SUBFACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation 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 described below. The Government reserves the right to make award based upon the Price factor in the event that the Technical, Past Performance, and Small Business Participation evaluation results of all the offerors’ proposals are substantially the same.

Factor 1. Technical Factor: Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address each Technical Factor as it applies to the SOW. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph D of this section. During evaluation of each proposal, the Government will assign each Technical Factor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

Factor 2. Past Performance: Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence assessment.

Factor 3. Small Business Participation: Each offeror’s level and degree of commitment to utilize small business in execution of the requirement will be evaluated.

Factor 4. Price: The resulting award will be a Firm Fixed Price IDIQ. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the Firm-Fixed Price effort.

B. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals shall be evaluated by the Source Selection Team (SST).

1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

a. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the RFP.

b. Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

2. The Technical Factors are contained in the SOW listed as the following:

1 Scope of Work

3.1 Delivery Objectives

3.2 Information Management

3.3 Shipping and Marking

3.5 Equipment

4 Additional Information (Appendixes)

The Technical Factor evaluates the offeror’s proposed in the SOW for the basic contract period and all ordering years. Marginal levels of overall Scope of Work could indicate a lack of understanding concerning mission requirements and may result in the entire proposal receiving an unfavorable rating and/or being eliminated from the competitive range. The evaluation will focus on the offerors’ understanding and capabilities to perform the SOW and all subsections of work required as listed below:

KEY POINT #1 WITH DESCRIPTION: Under SOW Section 1 Scope of Work and all subsections required under scope of work in the SOW.

KEY POINT #2 WITH DESCRIPTION: Under SOW Section 3.1 Delivery Objectives and all subsections required under delivery objectives of work in the SOW.

KEY POINT #3 WITH DESCRIPTION: Under SOW Section 3.2 Information Management and all subsections required under information management of work in the SOW.

KEY POINT #4 WITH DESCRIPTION: Under SOW Section 3.3 Shipping and Marking and all subsections required under shipping and marking of work in the SOW.

KEY POINT #5 WITH DESCRIPTION: Under SOW Section 3.5 Equipment and all subsections required under equipment of work in the SOW.

KEY POINT #6 WITH DESCRIPTION: Under SOW Section 4 Additional Information

(Appendixes) and all subsections required under additional information and appendixes of work in the SOW.

In accordance with the Army Source Selection Supplement (AS3). The Army methodology for evaluating the combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the significant strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings (see Table 1 below).

TABLE 1 – COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATINGS

Color

Rating

Adjectival Rating Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

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

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

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

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable, and/or risk of performance is unacceptably high.

3. Price Factor. Adjectival ratings shall not be used for offerors’ Price proposals. The Government will fully evaluate and may negotiate all priced Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs) for award. For award purposes, the total proposed price for all CLINs will be added together into a total sum. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness for this effort by utilizing an Excel Pricing Spreadsheet Model (See Attachment 2 – SKO Pricing.)

The evaluation of all CLINs ordering periods will not obligate the Government to execute any Task Order more than the minimum order. The Offeror’s Price proposal will be evaluated as follows.

a. FFP Evaluation. For a price to be fair and reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Offeror’s proposed fixed-price CLINs may be evaluated, using one or more of the techniques described in FAR 15.404-1 in order to determine if they are fair and reasonable.

b. Overall Price Proposal Evaluation: The overall Price proposal will evaluated for the following:

1) Compliance: The Price proposal submitted by the Offeror will be evaluated for compliance based upon the submission requirements contained in the RFP instructions in Section 52.212-1 of the solicitation.

2) Unbalanced Pricing: The Offeror’s overall Price proposal will be evaluated for unbalanced pricing as defined in FAR 15.404-1(g). An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government (see FAR 15.404-1(g)(1) through FAR 15.404-1(g)(3)).

3) Errors: The Offeror’s Price proposal will be reviewed for errors. The Offeror may be given an opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposal at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

4) Business Systems: The Government will verify the adequacy of the Offeror’s business systems.

5) Total Evaluated Price: The Total Evaluated Price consists of summing the Offeror’s proposed fixed-price CLIN prices for all ordering years.

4. Past Performance Factor. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the SOW.

a. Evaluation of past performance shall be in accordance with this plan utilizing the forms and questionnaires set forth in Appendix D.

b. The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. For the purposes of this

SSP/Requirement, major subcontractors are defined as members of an offeror’s overall team who are expected to perform 25 percent or more of the proposed effort. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. Therefore, offerors will be reminded to include the most recent and relevant efforts (within the past three years) in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned a “neutral confidence rating” and its proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in

Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services as compared to the NAICS 339112.

c. Offerors shall submit all Government and/or commercial contracts for the prime offeror and each major subcontractor in performance or awarded during the past 3 years, from the issue date of this RFP, which are relevant to the efforts required by this RFP. The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources but is not compelled to rely on all of the information available.

d. The past performance factor considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract requirements. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality. Contracts that are recent and relevant will be evaluated for quality.

(i) RECENCY: The first aspect is to evaluate the recency of the offeror’s past performance. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant and is critical to establishing the relevancy of past performance information.

(ii) RELEVANCY: The second aspect is to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. Relevancy is not separately rated; however, the following criteria (see Table 2) will be used to establish what is relevant which shall include similarity of service/support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and degree of subcontract/teaming.

Table 2 - Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition

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.

(iii) QUALITY ASSESSMENT: The third aspect assesses the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance. Documented results from Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment.

e. Performance Confidence Assessment: Utilize the Performance Confidence Assessment (see Table 3 below) to select the most appropriate confidence level for each Offeror. Ensure the rationale for the conclusions reached are included.

TABLE 3 - Performance Confidence Assessments

Rating Definition

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. The

Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the facto 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.

5. Small Business Participation Factor. IAW Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) 215.304(c)(i), the extent to which offeror’s identify and commit to small business performance of the contract shall be evaluated.

Offerors shall submit a Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) which specifies the offeror’s level and degree of commitment to small business utilization/participation in performance of this requirement. An

SBPCD is required from all offerors, including companies with commercial plans and comprehensive subcontracting plans. The Government will evaluate the following:

a) The extent to which such firms are specifically identified in proposals

b) The extent of commitment to use such firms (for example, enforceable commitments are to be weighted more heavily than non-enforceable ones)

c) The complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform

d) Past performance of the offerors in complying with requirements of the clauses at FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of

Small Business Concerns, and 52.219-9 Small Business Subcontracting Plan

e) The extent of participation of such firms in terms of the value of the total acquisition

f) The realism of the proposal

6. FAR 52.219-9 Small Business Subcontracting Plan

a. Performance against subcontracting plan goals.

b. Compliance with the subcontracting plan in general.

c. Timely Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) reporting (FAR 52.219-9 1 (l) & (2))

d. Reduced or untimely payments (as defined in FAR 19.701), made to small business subcontractors, determined by the contracting officer to be unjustified. (FAR 42.1502 (g)).

All prime offerors submitting a proposal are required to meet or exceed the Minimum Quantitative Requirement(s)

(MQRs) relative to the total contract value as follows:

Small Business (SB) 23%

Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 10%

Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) 5%

HUBZone-Certified Small Business (HUBZone) 3%

Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) 3%

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) 3%

For purposes of this requirement, total contract value is defined as the cumulative value of task order awards received that have opportunities to utilize small business concerns throughout the life of the contract. Small business prime offerors may achieve small business participation (meet or exceed MQR) through their own performance/participation as a prime and also through subcontracting to other small businesses. All offerors are required to submit Small Business Participation Commitment Documents in accordance with the instructions in

Section 52.212-1 of the solicitation. Small business participation commitments will become requirements and be incorporated into the resulting contract.

The contractor shall report actual achievement of small business participation results on an annual basis and shall discuss performance in achieving the small business commitments/requirements.

Small business utilization metrics/performance requirements are specified in the Performance Requirements

Summary of the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan.

C. DISCUSSIONS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION. In accordance with FAR 15.306(d), discussion sessions with each offeror may be held. Should discussions take place, all offerors in the competitive range will be allowed a minimum of 5

(five) calendar days to submit Final Proposal Revisions.

TABLE 4 – Small Business Ratings

Color Rating Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Green Acceptable Proposal indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet small business objectives.

2. DISCUSSION SCHEDULING. If discussions are conducted, the Contracting Officer may determine that the number of most highly rated proposals that might otherwise be included in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted. In this event, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
