ADDENDUM TO FAR CLAUSE 52.212-2, EVALUATION-COMMERICAL ITEM

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1-Technical Capability. The Technical Factor evaluation provides an assessment of the

Offeror’s capability to fully satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. The technical capability evaluation process will consider the following three subfactors:

Subfactor 1: Understanding the Requirement. This subfactor will evaluate the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform all contractual Army Stationing and Installation Plan requirements as stated within the solicitation. The Offeror’s proposal shall demonstrate understanding of the technical and functional tasks outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) 5.1.1 – 5.16.2. To accomplish this, an

Offeror’s proposal shall clearly meet following requirements:

i. Provide a plan on how all tasks, standards, and deliverables outlined in the PWS will be achieved.

ii. Demonstrate a clear understanding of the work to be performed in the establishment of the ASIP-S and how the Offeror intends to establish the ASIP-S within the requirement timeline in accordance with PWS paragraph 5.15.

Subfactor 2: Staffing Plan/Key Personnel Qualifications and Experience. In this subfactor, the

Government will evaluate documented evidence of the Offeror’s ability to provide personnel who meet all contract qualification requirements for both prime and subcontractor personnel. At a minimum, the

Offeror’s proposal shall address in detail each of the following specified minimum requirements:

i. The Offeror shall provide a fully completed pricing plan in accordance with the proposed Contract Line

Item Number (CLIN) structure with the proposed staffing plan. The proposed pricing plan and staffing plan will be evaluated against the Government’s estimate and rounded to the nearest whole number.

ii. The Offeror must provide a proposed Staffing Plan (e.g. skill mix, personnel experience or qualifications and their personnel availability) to include resumes of key personnel that best meet the requirement. If the Offeror’s approach contains cross utilization, the cross utilization explanation will be evaluated for a clear understanding and description of the position being cross utilized, and how it will benefit the Government. The position description for each cross utilized position, if any, will be evaluated against the deliverables outlined in the PWS for each position that was cross utilized.

iii.The qualification explanation will be evaluated to assess the Offeror’s understanding and approach to provide personnel with the required knowledge and skills in accordance with PWS paragraph 1.6.18, Key

Personnel.

iii. To be considered, a list of key personnel must be submitted with their position descriptions and each resume must demonstrate the minimum relevant experience associated with the positon being fulfilled.

Resumes will be evaluated for appropriately assigned specific duties and responsibilities, and the necessary backgrounds, qualifications, credentials to successfully fulfill the duties of this requirement. As such, resumes shall clearly demonstrate the required knowledge, education, certifications, and years of experience below:

Technical Factors will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below. The subfactor ratings will be used to determine an overall rating for the factor. To receive a rating of Acceptable, all subfactors must receive a rating of Acceptable.

Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

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

Factor 2-Past Performance: The Past Performance evaluation will assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. Past performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance and focusing on performance that is recent and relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are advised the Government will utilize data in the offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other sources (i.e. Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)) to determine the relevancy and recency of past performance.

In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or from 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. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable” for the purposes of this evaluation.

The past performance factor will be assigned one of the rating defined below:

Table A-2. Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Based upon the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

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

Factor 3-Price. Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b). Through these techniques, the Government will determine whether prices are fair and reasonable.

If the Government is unsure of the reasonableness, the Government reserves the right to request other than Cost or Pricing Data.

Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose…
