26. INFORMATION FOR EVALUATION

This section supplements clause 52.212-1 and 52.212-2 which is included elsewhere in this request for quotes. The Government intends to evaluate offer and award a contract without discussions. 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 and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

TECHNICAL FACTOR:

Evaluation –Each item in Technical Requirements Table will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below. Any criterion that receives “U” rating will result in an overall unacceptable rating for the factor and are not eligible for award.

The offeror has no active or inactive exclusions listed in their Entity Record on the System for Award Management (SAM).

In accordance with FAR 42.15, the offeror does not have any Past Performance rated at “Marginal” or “Unsatisfactory”.

The agreed upon items and quantities will be multiplied times their respective unit prices found in the RFQ.

As part of its proposal, the offeror must provide the estimated total cost (if any) incurred to comply with the enterprise Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (eCMRA) requirement. Offeror must determine, in the schedule, CLIN(s) X003, to price or not separately price the CMRA requirement. CLIN(s) X003 shall be the CLIN(s) under which the Contractor shall bill for all costs associated with the eCMRA requirement.

Evaluation – Price will not be assigned an adjectival rating; and will be evaluated to determine if the offeror quoted price is fair, reasonable, and balanced. The government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if prices are significantly unbalanced. Price shall be evaluated at estimated quantities multiplied times their respective unit price.

Unrealistically Low Prices: Prices quoted may be reviewed to determine whether they reflect a lack of technical understanding of the requirements and to assess the risk inherent in an offeror’s quoted prices. Unrealistically low quoted prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for rejection for this solicitation.

Unbalanced Pricing: Offeror is cautioned against submitting quote that contains unbalance pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. The Government shall analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or subline items. Quotes that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding six (6) months of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Offerors are required only to price the base and option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods), utilizing the rates of that performance of period.

27. ALTERNATE DISPUTES RESOLUTION: In furtherance of Federal policy and the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1990 (ADR Act), Public Law 101-552 and FAR Clause 52.233-1, Subparagraph (d) (2) (1) (B) (2), the Contracting Officer will try to resolve all post award acquisition issues in controversy by mutual agreement of both parties. Interested parties are encouraged to use alternative dispute resolution procedures to the maximum extent practicable, in accordance with the authority and requirements of the ADR Act.

28. CONTRACT PERFORMANCE:

a. Purpose. IAW with FAR Subpart 42.1500 contractor past performance information (PPI) is relevant information for future source selection purposes regarding a contractor’s actions under previously awarded contracts. It includes, for example, the contractor's record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship; the contractor's record of forecasting and controlling costs; the contractor's adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the contractor's history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the contractor's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. Contractor past performance information is one of the tools that support Army efforts to acquire best value and is used to evaluate performance risk in source selection. The feedback provided by the government to the contractor in collecting PPI, and the knowledge that PPI will be used in future source selection decisions, should result in improved performance and a greater contractor focus on customer satisfaction.

b. Assessment Period. Performance Assessment Reports (PAR) shall be prepared IAW AFARS Subpart 42 upon physical completion of the contract. If the period of performance will exceed 18 months, an “interim” assessment report shall be prepared at the completion of 12 months performance and annually thereafter until the contract is physically complete. An out-of-cycle or “addendum” report may be prepared if there is a need to record an extraordinary event prior to the next regularly scheduled evaluation or if it is necessary to report a meaningful occurrence during the period between physical completion of the contract and contract closeout. Additionally, addendum reports may be prepared to record contractor’s performance relative to contract closeout and other administrative requirements (e.g. final indirect cost proposals, technical data, etc.).

c. Completion Due Date. The government will complete the PAR within 60 days after the end of the assessment rating period.

d. Evaluators. The Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer’s Representative will jointly complete the performance assessment.

e. Contracts Performance Elements. The contractor’s performance shall be assessed in accordance with elements and rating system set forth in AFARS Subpart 42.

f. Contractor Review. The Contracting Officer will furnish a copy of the PAR to the contractor requesting that the contractor submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional information to the Contracting Officer within 30 calendar days of receipt. Failure to respond within the designated timeframe will be taken as agreement with the assessment.

g. Contract Concurrence. Where a contractor concurs with, or takes no exception to a PAR, such report shall be considered final and releasable for use in source selection and other deliberative purposes.

h. Contractor Rebuttal. Where a contractor takes exception to a performance report, the Contracting Officer will review the contractor’s rebuttal or comments and make appropriate changes. If the Contracting Officer makes changes, the changed rating will be reflected in the narrative. The Contracting Officer will make all reasonable efforts to reconcile the report and the contractor’s comments. However, it is not necessary that they reach agreement on the report where such is clearly impracticable. The contractor’s rebuttal or comments shall be made part of the PAR.

i. Resolving Disagreements between the Government and the Contractor. In the event disagreements between the parties regarding the PAR occur, the Contracting Officer will review the rebuttal and make appropriate changes. If no agreement is reached, the PAR is forwarded to the Reviewing Official (Director of Contracting) along with the Contracting Officer’s Findings and Recommendation and supporting documentation. The decision of the Reviewing Official is final. Copies of the PAR and the contractor’s response and review comments, if any, shall be retained as part of the evaluation.

j. Release of Contractor Performance Evaluation Information. The evaluation will not be released to other than government personnel and the contractor whose performance is evaluated. The performance evaluation information will be input into the applicable module within Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) database (or Government system in use at time of the evaluation).

k. Source Selection Information. Departments and agencies will electronically access the PAR information to support future award decisions.

29. REQUIRED INSURANCE:

In accordance with FAR clause 52.228-5 entitled, “Insurance--Work on a Government Installation” the following minimum amounts of insurance are required.

Unless otherwise specified in these provisions, services will be performed during normal duty hours.

Minor non-conformance usually can be corrected by the contractor within a short timeframe, where no further corrective action (CA) response is necessary, and can be issued by the COR to the contractor either through a verbal or written NCR. Minor non-conforming services shall be re-performed within a specified time frame at no increase in contract price. If minor non-conformances are recurring or re-performance is not completed in full and within the specified time a Level II non-conformance may be issued to the contractor by the KO.

Major non-conformance’s shall result in the issuance of a written NCR from the KO to the contractor requiring a response by the contractor by a specified timeframe identifying the reasons for the unsatisfactory performance, corrective action(s) taken and date resolution has/will occur, and procedures to preclude recurrence of unsatisfactory performance. The KO may also reduce the payment to the contractor in accordance with (IAW) the performance requirements summary (PRS), or reduce payment to reflect the value of the services performed if re-performance is not possible, or may have the identified non-conforming service performed and charge the contractor for any related cost incurred.

1.6.2.1.3 Level III (Critical) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the services; is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission; is for a repeated or uncorrected level II NCR’s; or is for a non-responsive contractor to a level II NCR. Critical non-conformance’s shall result in the issuance of a written NCR from the KO to the contractor requiring a response by the contractor by a specified timeframe identifying the reasons for the unsatisfactory performance, corrective action(s) taken and date resolution has/will occur, and procedures to preclude recurrence of unsatisfactory performance. The KO may also reduce the payment to the contractor IAW the PRS, or reduce payment to reflect the value of the services performed if re-performance is not possible, or may have the identified non-conforming service performed and charge the contractor for any related cost incurred.
