5.1 Work Environment

Arrange for pick- up and transport of regulated medical waste quarterly or as needed.

With the supplied designated regulated medical waste boxes and bags we will pack the waste according to regulatory guidelines. Each box will contain double bagged sharps or pathological waste. Proper transportation, treatment and disposal of sharps and biohazardous waste are important to maintain compliance and protect people and the environment. Provide a transport cart to move boxes from the third floor to the loading dock. These will then be loaded onto the truck to be taken to a designated facility for waste segregation and destruction. The types of regulated medical waste that need to be disposed of properly is blood and blood products, pathological waste, cultures and stocks of infectious agents, contaminated animal waste and sharps. Pathological waste and contaminated animal waste needs to be incinerated at an approved facility. Sharps will need to be incinerated or rendered noninfectious and processed by grinding it down to eliminate the physical hazard of sharps.

6.1 Key Responsibilities

Provide the removal of an estimated 3000 lbs of regulated medical waste annually. Each shipment of RMW consists of around 10-20 cardboard boxes or 500- 800 lbs.

Data concerning the Offeror shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor, in alphabetical order.

The Offeror shall provide the following information:

(a) Contract Number, Contract Type (Fixed Price, Cost Reimbursement, etc.), Awarded price, Award Date, Completion Date

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers will be addressed in accordance with FAR 15.208.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offeror's. Therefore, the offeror's 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 later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number. (Applies to all offers exceeding $3,000, and offers of $3,000 or less if the solicitation requires the Contractor to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation “DUNS” or “DUNS +4” followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address. The DUNS +4 is the DUNS number plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned at the discretion of the offeror to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see FAR Subpart 32.11) for the same concern. If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. An offeror within the United States may contact Dun and Bradstreet by calling 1-866-705-5711 or via the internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. An offeror located outside the United States must contact the local Dun and Bradstreet office for a DUNS number. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(i) System for Award Management. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the Offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. Offeror's may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the SAM database accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

(j) Debriefing. If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror’s offer.

(2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(3) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(4) A summary of rationale for award;

(5) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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.

Award of this requirement will be made on a competitive best value basis, using “best value tradeoff” among cost/price and non-cost/price factors. A best value tradeoff process will be used, thus, the Government may elect to award to other than the lowest priced offeror, or other than the offeror with the highest rated non-cost/price proposal.

Past Performance will be evaluated independently from the other non-cost/price evaluation factors using different standards. The non-cost/price evaluation factors numbered in descending order of importance are as follows: Factor

1. Technical Approach, Factor 2. Management Approach, Factor 3. Experience, Factor 4. Quality Control and Factor

5. Past Performance. All nonpriced factors combined are significantly more important than cost or price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Technical Approach, Management Approach, Experience and Quality Control Approach factors. Offerors are cautioned that the awards may not necessarily be made to the lowest cost or price offered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 - Technical Approach - The proposal shall be evaluated to the degree that the offeror has clearly demonstrated how they intend to meet the Government requirements outlined within the performance work statement (PWS) with specific emphasis on:

An understanding of all the tasks required to be performed.

An understanding of federal, state and local guidelines covering medical waste.

The methodology and flexibility they will use in performing the requirement.

How the approach is likely to yield the required results within the required time frame.

Factor 2 – Management Approach -The Offeror shall submit a written Management Approach which effectively demonstrates:

A management approach to staffing that will lead to the successful accomplishment of the requirement.

How their chain of command practices will contribute in a positive manner to ensuring completion of all tasks (particularly emphasizing communications, accounting, crosschecks on schedule early enough to take necessary corrective actions, and flexibility in allocating resources based on Government priorities).

The offeror shall discuss their approach to coordinating, directing, and effectively managing all their subcontractors.

Factor 3 - Experience - The proposal shall be evaluated to the degree that the offeror has clearly demonstrated the requisite experience that will enable them to meet the Government requirements outlined within the PWS with specific emphasis on:

The offeror shall demonstrate: (Elements of the factor)

Relevant experience identical to, similar to or related to performing services {processes and procedures} contained within the PWS.

Evidence of relevant corporate experience.

Evidence of relevant experience of key personnel.

Evidence of experience of supporting subcontractors, consultants, and business partners (if required).

Experience with an appropriate mix and balance of education and training of key personnel, etc.

Substantive experience in safe removal of medical waste.

Factor 4. Quality Control Approach: The proposal shall be evaluated to the degree that the offeror has clearly demonstrated how they intend to meet the Government requirements outlined within the performance work statement (PWS) with specific emphasis on:

How they will meet and comply with the quality standards established in the PWS.

At a minimum, the QCP must include a self-inspection plan, an internal staffing plan, and an outline of the procedures that the Contractor will use to maintain quality, timeliness, responsiveness, customer satisfaction, and any other requirements set forth in this solicitation.

Rating Standard for Technical Approach, Management Approach, Experience and Quality Control:

Rating Description

Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.

Factor 5 - Past Performance - The proposal shall be evaluated to the degree that the offeror has demonstrated past performance that is relevant to the size, scope and complexity required by the PWS and how well the offeror performed the work. The Offeror shall provide a brief description of no more than three (3) contracted projects that focus on the performance of laboratory support services within the past three (3) years from solicitation release date. The narrative shall include a reference point of contact, contract dollar value, and dates of contract performance. It is not sufficient to state that the reference is similar in magnitude, scope and complexity; the offeror shall provide evidence to demonstrate the comparability of the reference.

Rating Standard for Past Performance:

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

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.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

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.

Factor 5 - Price - The award will be a Firm Fixed-Price contract. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness by performing a price analysis to insure that the final agreed-to price is fair, reasonable, realistic, and consistent with the proposed level of effort.

The Offeror shall submit information other than cost or pricing data which will be used to perform a price analysis.

This information includes the hourly rate for each proposed labor category, performance hours, and cost build-up to the billing rate.

The Price Factor will not be assigned an adjectival rating.

Technical and past performance, when combined, is significantly more important than price.

(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).

(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.
