4. Initial Subcontracting Plan Submission: Any contractor, Other than Small Business, must submit an initial Subcontracting plan at time of proposal. And must agree in the contract that small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance. If apparent successful offerors fail to negotiate a subcontracting plan acceptable to the KO within the time limit prescribed, the offerors will be ineligible for award. Commercial plans defined in FAR 19 – The Small Business Subcontracting Program are acceptable.

5. Failure to provide proposals in accordance with the instructions specified in the RFP may render the offeror’s proposal non-compliant, and the proposal will not be evaluated or considered for award.

1. A technical description of the services being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary.

Proposals will be evaluated against criteria defined in 52.212-2 Addendum Evaluation –Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

3. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Statements that the offeror understands, can or will comply with the performance work statement (PWS), statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof, and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed,” or “well known techniques will be used,” will be considered unacceptable. The offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their experience. The Government will base evaluation on the information presented in offeror’s proposal.

Subfactor 1-Management Approach: Offeror’s proposal shall demonstrate understanding of the technical and functional tasks outlined in the PWS and shall clearly demonstrate a feasible approach for controlling and managing the entire program to meet the performance expected in geographically diverse environment.

Subfactor 2- Facilities Approach: Offeror’s proposal shall demonstrate an understanding the AAA standards for three (3) Diamond facilities. The proposal shall include the approach to be used during task order proposal preparation to meet these standards as you identify facilities and enter into agreements for facilities that are geographically diverse and describe the approach to ensure safety and security outlined in PWS 5.2.17-Lodging Safety and Security.

Subfactor 3- Medical Consult Transportation Approach: Offeror’s shall describe the approach to using carriers that are an approved carrier in the Department of Defense Bus Program managed by the Defense Transportation Management Office (DTMO) outlined in PWS 5.3.3. And describe the approach to provide transportation for applicant medical consultation appointments outlined in PWS 5.3.10.

III-Past Performance Factor file shall be submitted named “III-Past Performance Factor| Offeror Name” and include:

1. Past performance information regarding similar contracts. Offerors shall submit past performance information for up to three contracts the offeror considers recent and relevant in demonstrating acceptable past performance. Recent and relevant past performance information for this solicitation is past performance within the previous 36 months (from the date established for submission of proposals) performing services for lodging and meals and transportation with a minimum value of $3 million. If an offeror submits more than three contracts, the Government will evaluate only the first three listed contracts for recency and relevancy. The three contracts may include the prime contractor and any major subcontractor(s) projected to perform on any resultant contract. Only those subcontractors that meet the definition of a major subcontractor, as defined as performing more than 25% of any resultant contract arising from this solicitation, will be used in the offeror’s past performance assessment.

2. Past performance information may include data on efforts performed by other divisions, corporate management, and critical subcontractors or teaming arrangements, if such performance is recent and relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Provide with the proposal a letter of release from all subcontractors who will perform services under the contract that permits the offeror to submit subcontractor past performance information as part of the offeror’s proposal.

3. All Offerors shall submit information substantiating the Offeror’s past performance in complying with FAR 52.219-8, “Utilization of Small Business” and FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, to maximize opportunities for U.S. small business subcontractors. Offerors shall also provide a statement indicating whether any negative information has been reported in the past three years concerning the Offeror’s past compliance with FAR 52.219-8 or FAR 52.219-9. If any such negative information has been reported, the Offeror may submit explanations or comments responding to such negative information.

Offerors with no prior contracts containing FAR 52.219-8 and/or FAR 52.219-9 shall certify the same. For Other than small business, include SF 294 and SF 295 (or Individual Subcontracting and Summary Subcontracting Reports in eSRS) information for Government contracts with these reporting requirements for the last three years. All Offerors shall provide descriptive information for all small business categories.

Any information concerning long-term relationships with small business subcontractors, such as mentor-protégé relationships should also be addressed.

4. A narrative shall address the following 1) program management; 2) lodging; 3) transportation; and 4) meals.

For contracts that are non-governmental and are not in a Governmental database that can be readily reviewed, the offeror shall provide copies of the commercial contracts for considerations along with the customer reference information sheet. Copies of any commercial contract shall not count against the Past Performance page limit. Failure to submit copies of any commercial contract submission may result in the contract not being evaluated.

5. As discussed in the FAR Provision 52.212-2 Addendum, if an offeror has no record of relevant past performance, or if an offeror’s information on past performance is not available, the offeror’s lack of past performance information will be evaluated as having neither a favorable nor unfavorable impact on the evaluation. Unknown past performance shall be considered acceptable.

6. Past performance shall meet the recency and relevancy definitions stated in the FAR 52.212-2 Addendum of the solicitation.

52.212-1 (c) Period for acceptance of offers is modified to:

Price will not be evaluated. Section 825 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 amended 10 U.S.C. 2305 (a)(3) to modify the requirement to consider price or cost as an evaluation factor for the award of certain multiple-award task-order contracts issued by Department of Defense and implemented by FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii)(A)(2).

The contracting officer chose not to include price or cost as an evaluation factor for award. This solicitation: 1) has an estimated value above the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT); 2) will result in multiple-award contracts (see FAR 16.5) that are for the same or similar services, and: 3) the Government intends to make an award to each and all qualifying offerors. Price will be evaluated during the ordering process to execute task orders for services.

Therefore, there is no need for offeror to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers. However, offerors will be required to hold the prices in its offer for task order fair opportunity submissions firm for 90 days from the date specified for each task order solicited (will be in instructions for Task Order submissions).

(End of provision)

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

FAR 52.212-2 Addendum , EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

52.212-2 (a) modified to:

The Government will award multiple contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, other factors consider. The Government intends to make an award to each and all qualifying offerors. Proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance but will not be ranked. To be considered for award, proposal must receive an acceptable rating in every non-price factor. If any of the subfactors are determined to be Unacceptable due to the Offeror failing to meet the evaluation criteria, then the entire Technical Proposal will be determined to be Unacceptable. A proposal receiving a rating of unacceptable will not be eligible for award. All other than small businesses must have an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan to receive an award in accordance with FAR 19.702(a)

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR 1-Technical Approach (Subfactor 1-Management Approach; Subfactor 2- Facilities Approach, and Subfactor 3- Medical Consult Transportation Approach). Offeror’s proposal must receive an acceptable rating for all three subfactors to be considered technically acceptable in Factor 1.

Table 2 – Technical Evaluation Rating Method

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

1. Subfactor 1: Management Approach.

Item Standard Management Approach The Government will evaluate the

Offeror’s understanding of the technical and functional tasks outlined in the PWS, specifically the ability to control and manage the entire program to meet the performance expected in a geographically diverse environment.

2. Subfactor 2: Facilities Approach.

Item AAA 3 Diamond Areas Standard Understanding the AAA standards for three (3) Diamond facilities, approach to meet the AAA standards when identifying facilities and enter into agreements for the facilities that are geographically diverse during task order proposal preparation.

General Curb Appeal;

Restaurant or Breakfast Areas Bed / Bedding Seating Layout; Television type and placement; work space /writing surface Ventilation; window coverings Counter/shelf space; Amount available Personal Care Shower Curtain/Door Towels

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s understanding of the AAA standards for three (3) Diamond facilities and the approach to be used during task order proposal preparation with regard to identifying facilities and entering into agreements for facilities that are geographically diverse.

Describe approach to ensure safety and security outlined in PWS 5.2.17-Lodging Safety and Security

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s approach in ensuring the safety and security outlined in PWS 5.2.17- Lodging Safety and Security.

Subfactor 3: Medical Consult Transportation Approach.

Item Standard Describe approach to using carriers that are an approved carrier in the DoD Bus Program managed by the Defense Transportation Management Office (DTMO) outlined in PWS 5.3.3.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s approach to using carriers that are an approved carrier in the Department of Defense Bus Program managed by the Defense Transportation Management Office (DTMO) outlined in PWS 5.3.3.

Describe approach to provide transportation for applicant medical consultation appointments outlined in

PWS 5.3.10.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s approach to provide transportation for applicant medical consultation appointments outlined in PWS 5.3.10.

FACTOR 2 Past Performance. The Government will evaluate past performance on an acceptable/unacceptable basis to determine past performance acceptability. The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of successfully performing the required effort; therefore, past performance evaluation is not a determination of contractor responsibility. The Government evaluation will also consider an Offeror’s compliance with requirements under FAR 52.219-8 and 52.219-9 as required under FAR 15.304(c)(3)(i) and DFARS 215.305(a)(2). The past performance assessment is based on the offeror’s record of recent and relevant past performance with respect to the services specified in the solicitation requirements. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation: (1) the recency and relevancy of the past performance, and (2) the quality of that past performance. The Government will evaluate an offeror’s past performance submission according to the following procedures:

(1) Recency and Relevancy – For purposes of assessing an offeror’s performance information, the offeror’s present/past performance must be both recent and relevant to the effort to be acquired. The past performance of a technically qualified team member or major sub-contractor may be used to satisfy past performance requirements for a prospective prime offeror. Recency and relevancy are defined as follows:

i. Recent: Past performance within the previous 36 months (from the date established for submission of proposals).

ii. Relevant: Relevant past performance is defined as contracts for lodging and meals and transportation services with a minimum value of $3 million.

(2) Quality – For purposes of assessing an offeror’s past performance, the offeror’s recent, relevant present/past performance information will be assessed to determine how well the offeror performed on its previous contracts. The past performance evaluation process in support of this source selection will not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of an offeror’s past performance on contracts;

rather, the past performance evaluation process will gather and evaluate information from other, previous customers on how well an offeror performed their respective contracts. Past performance information will be obtained from the following sources: past performance information provided by the offeror, in accordance with the terms of the solicitation; past performance information from any other sources available to the Government to include, but not limited to the Government’s System for Award Management (SAM) database, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), or other databases as applicable; and interviews with Program Managers, CORs, and KOs. Past performance information will be reviewed to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to the overall performance risk assessment. See FAR 15.101-2(b)(1) for treatment of past performance relative to small business.

i. Offerors are cautioned that, in conducting the past performance assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources. Since the Government may interview sources other than those provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offeror to explain the relevance of any past performance information provided.

ii. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past or present performance effort that is rated less than satisfactory overall or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

iii. If the Government determines the offeror has demonstrated a favorable record of past performance, the past performance for that offeror shall be considered Acceptable.

If, the Government determines the offeror has demonstrated an unfavorable record of past performance, the past performance for that offeror shall be considered Unacceptable.

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 (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

Past performance will be rated as “acceptable” or “unacceptable” using the ratings in Table 3:

Table 3 - Past Performance Rating Method Adjectival Rating Description

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 above).

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(b) Options modified to: In accordance with FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii)(A) price will not be received or evaluated FOR BASE PERIOD OR ANY OPTION(S). Before exercising any option period, the Government will conduct a comprehensive review of each awardee's participation rate, reasons for non-participation, and performance evaluations for both completed and ongoing task orders. It is essential to note that the evaluation of options does not impose any obligation on the Government to exercise the option(s).
