The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. Incomplete quotes will be considered ineligible for award.

The Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges if it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

The Government may select for award that offer in which the Total Evaluated Price is not necessarily the lowest, but whose overall response is deemed sufficiently more advantageous to the Government based upon the merit of its Technical and the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS so as to justify the payment of a higher price. Conversely, the Government may select for award the Offeror whose Total Evaluated Price is the lowest, when the merit of Technical and the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS of other Offerors is not sufficiently more advantageous so as to justify the payment of a higher price. The Government may reject any or all responses if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest quote; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in the submitted responses.

B. FACTORS AND ELEMENTS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation factors and elements will be used to evaluate each quote. An award will be made to the offeror whose quote is most advantageous to the Government based upon an assessment of the evaluation Factors and Elements described below.

Factor 1: Technical. The technical evaluation will consist of the following elements:

Factor 2: Price.

Factor 3: Past Performance.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and elements are as follows.

Evaluation criteria consists of three factors: Technical, Price, and Past Performance. The Technical portion is divided into elements.

Factor 1 – Technical Rating. The Government will evaluate technical quotes to determine the merit of each offeror’s proposed approach to meeting the technical requirements of the PWS based on the elements identified.

Factor 2 – Price. Price will not be assigned an adjectival rating. Price will be evaluated to determine if the offeror’s quoted price is fair and reasonable. Price shall be evaluated at estimated quantities multiplied times their respective unit price.

Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the “Option to Extend Services” under FAR clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the Offeror’s final option period prices to the Offeror’s total price.

Factor 3- Past Performance

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS.

The Government may review any sources of information for evaluating past performance. The Government will only evaluate the past performance of the Prime Contractor or organizations that are under Joint Venture agreements. Past Performance of any proposed sub-contractors will not be evaluated as the government has no assurance that the offeror will actually use the sub-contractor proposed in their offer, deeming the act of evaluating a proposed sub-contractor irrelevant. Sources may include, but are not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/Entity Identifier number of team members (Partnership, joint venture, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s quote, inquiries of owners representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), DOD Termination List and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

Offerors shall not include items of past performance with their quote.

1.6 General Information

1.6.1 Quality Assurance: Quality Control is the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor is responsible for the delivery of quality services/supplies to the Government (see FAR 52.246-1, Contractor Inspection Requirements). A formal Quality Control Plan (QCP) is not required for this commercial service. However, the contractor shall maintain an inspection system commensurate with commercial practices to ensure the Contractor only tenders for acceptance those items or services that conform to the requirements of this contract.

1.6.2 Quality Control: The Government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is a Government only document primarily focused on what the Government must do to assure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the requirements of the contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. Non-conforming services shall be re-performed at no increase in contract price. If non-conforming services are recurring, cannot be re-performed, or the services fail to achieve the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS), the Government may reject the nonconforming service(s) and document the contractor’s performance record accordingly. The Government may also issue a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) in which the contractor will be required to respond with the development of a corrective action plan (CAP) which identifies the root cause, corrective action (CA) for the root cause, CA for the specific nonconformance, and the date the CAs will be complete. The Government may also reduce the payment to the contractor IAW the PRS, or reduce payment to reflect the value of the services performed, or may perform the services and charge the Contractor for any related cost incurred, or may terminate this contract for default.

1.6.2.1 Nonconforming Supplies or Services: When a Contractor’s performance does not meet Contract requirements and/or approved work schedules and/or timeframes it is considered a nonconformance. Nonconformance shall be classified in one of three categories: level I (Minor), level II (Major) or level III (Critical). The Government may re-inspect work designated for re-performance or late performance, and the Contractor may be held liable for any damages sustained by the Government including, for example, the costs associated with re-inspection.

1.6.2.1.1 Level I (Minor) nonconformance: is defined as a nonconformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose, or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services. Minor nonconformance usually can be corrected on the spot, 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 nonconformance report (such as a Contractor Notification of Observation of Unacceptable Performance, Incidental Observation or through a validated customer complaint, etc.). Minor Non-conforming services shall be re-performed within a specified time frame at no increase in contract price. If minor nonconformance are recurring or re-performance is not completed in full and within the specified time a Level II nonconformance may be issued to the contractor by the Contracting Officer (KO).

1.6.2.1.2 Level II (Major) nonconformance: is defined as a nonconformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose. Recurring Minor nonconformance, or a non-responsive contractor, indicating a trend or failure of the contractor’s quality control, can also be classified as a Major nonconformance.
