Offers will be evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked using non-price factors/subfactors. All non-price factors and subfactors will be rated as either “acceptable”or “unacceptable”.

The following ratings will be used in evaluating all non-price technical factors and subfactors.

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

In order to be considered for award, there must be an “acceptable” rating in every non-price factor/subfactor.

In other words, a rating of “unacceptable” for any factor or subfactor will result in the entire offer being rated “unacceptable”.

FACTOR A - Technical Proposal:

(i) Subfactor A - LICENSES: The prime contractor must submit General Business Registration (일반사업자등록증) granted by the Republic of Korea (ROK); however, a subcontractor's license may be used as a substitute for one of the prime contractor's license requirements. When the prime contractor uses the subcontractor’s license, the prime contractor shall submit a copy of the subcontract agreement with official company who possess the license along with the subcontractor’s specific license issued by Republic of Korea (ROK).

EXPERIENCE: Both prime contractor and subcontractor shall have at least two (2) years of verifiable experience in facility maintenance management or inspection, repair, and maintenance of natural gas lines and equipment or similar relevant experiences within the last five (5) years from the closing date of this solicitation

FACTOR B - PAST PERFORMANCE: The past performance factor considers the offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying services that meet the contract requirements. Past performance will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. The offerors are required to identify contracts, both commercial and Government contracts for the same or similar service. The Government may ascertain past performance information on the offeror from sources other than the contracts/ references provided.

The following ratings will be used in evaluating Past Performance:

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown (See note below)

Unacceptable Based On the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”

The recency and relevancy of Past Performances will be evaluated on the contractor’s list of contracts which they have performed same or similar services relevant to this solicitation’s requirement within the last five (5) years.

The offeror’s past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2).

(ii) Subfactor B - CONTRACTOR’S PRIOR EXPERIENCE: Both prime contractor and subcontractor shall have at least two (2) years of relevant experience within the last five (5) years from the closing date of this soliciting in performing paper shredding services in U.S. Government or Commercial Industry.

Past performance of offerors will be evaluated based on the following processes:

(1) Review of the detailed explanation submitted by offerors, demonstrating the relevance of the references to the requirements of the solicitation.

(2) References will be contacted by phone to verify contents in detail explanation and to determine record of compliance with contract requirements, accuracy of reports, technical and quality awards/certificates.

(3) The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any reasonable source available, including the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) website http://www.ppirs.gov in order to evaluate offerors’ past performance. Also CPARs, if applicable, will be used for evaluation of the past performance.

Note: As part of the Responsibility Determination, the Contracting Officer will evaluate past performance to determine the offeror’s capability to perform the contract. Failure to provide data or lack of any performance history will not in itself be a reason for determination of non-responsibility. The Contracting Officer is not limited to the information provided. The Contracting Officer may use this data along with data obtained from other sources the Contracting Officer determines appropriate to obtain sufficient information on the offeror’s past performance to make a responsibility determination.

FACTOR C - PRICE: Proposed prices will be evaluated as follows:

Price analysis will be conducted for each proposal to ensure completeness, realism, reasonableness and balance.

The following applies to that evaluation:

i. Completeness. The offeror shall complete the pricing information for all CLINs and Sub-CLINs identified for each year and option year include total price for all five

(5) years. Any underlying assumptions including

Past Performances will be evaluated on the contractor’s list of contracts which they have performed same or similar services relevant to this solicitation’s requirement within the last five (5) years.

FACTOR C - PRICE: Proposed prices will be evaluated as follows:

Price analysis will be conducted for each proposal to ensure completeness, realism, reasonableness and balance.

The following applies to that evaluation:

i. Completeness. The offeror shall complete the pricing information for all CLINs and Sub-CLINs identified for each year and option year include total price for all five (5) years. Any underlying assumptions proposed escalation rates between base and subsequent option periods shall be clearly explained.

ii. Price Realism. Price Analysis in conjunction with Technical Analysis will be used to perform a Price Realism Analysis to determine if the price is realistic for the work to be performed. The proposal will be evaluated using price analysis techniques to determine whether the proposal reflects a thorough understanding of the PWS, and whether the price proposed is realistic for the work to be performed and is consistent with approaches described in the technical and management proposals. Price proposals, which are unrealistically low, will be deemed reflective of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the proposed contractual requirement and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.

iii. Price Reasonableness. Price should also reflect fair market value and be reasonable when compared to the independent Government estimate, previous prices for same or similar services and/or when compared among other technically acceptable offers.

iv. Unbalanced Pricing. As part of the price evaluation, proposals will be reviewed to identify any unbalanced pricing. IAW FAR 15.404-1(g)(3), Unbalanced Pricing, a proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

Note 1: The Government will examine price proposals for artificially low unit prices. Offers found to be unreasonably high, unrealistically low (an indication of “buy-in”), or unbalanced, may be considered unacceptable and may be rejected on that basis.

Note 2: Price is not scored. The lowest price for award purposes will be the combined total of the base year and all option periods. Price shall include all CLINs and Sub-CLINs. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions as primary award determination. Therefore, offerors are instructed that submitted proposals should contain their best pricing.

Option Clause 52.217-8. As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (FAR Clause 52.217-8 - Option to Extend Services) by adding one-half of the Offeror’s final option period price to the Offeror’s total price. Thus, the Offeror’s total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, and one-half of the 4th option.

Offerors are required only to price the base and four (4) including proposed escalation rates between base and subsequent option periods shall be clearly explained.
