COMPARATIVE EVALUATION – FAR 13.106-2 (b)(2) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, provides the best benefit to the Government, price and other factors considered. Offers will be evaluated by performing a comparative evaluation in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3) to determine which response represents the “best” as a whole. Comparative Evaluations is the act of comparing two or more offers or proposal in response to the RFP.

Proposals will be evaluated by performing a direct comparison of one offer with another in a uniform manner to determine which provides the Government with what is needed, as identified in the RFP.

The comparison is also performed to compare each offeror to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a response that offers more than the minimum and select that response, if it provides a benefit to the Government. The Government has the discretion to accept other than the lowest priced offeror that provides additional benefits.

The Government also has the discretion to make an award based on whether the lowest priced of the quotations/offers having the highest past performance rating possible represents the best benefit to the Government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Price

Prices will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through a price analysis that compares the offered prices against each other and against the Independent Government Estimate (IGE).

Proposals unrealistically high or low in price, when compared to the Government estimate, and market conditions evidenced by other competitive proposals received, may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in proposal rejection without discussion.

Award shall not be made to an Offeror’s proposal for goods or services that is found to be unbalanced and/or unreasonably low or high.

Factor 2: Past performance

Past Performance Questionnaire forms provided in the solicitation shall be completed and submitted as specified in the Instructions to Offerors. They will be evaluated to assess the degree of confidence the Government has in an Offeror's ability to supply products and services that meet users' needs based on a demonstrated record of recent and relevant work similar to the work described in this solicitation. Recent or relevant work is defined as similar work within the past four (4) years.

The Contracting Officer shall deem the offeror non-responsive if they fail to provide recent and relevant past performance prior to award IAW FAR 52.212-1(b)(11). The offeror must submit a PPQ with a satisfactory or higher rating to be deemed eligible for award.

Factor 3 – Technical Approach and Understanding of the Work

This factor considers whether the Offerors demonstrate an understanding of the complexity and magnitude of requirements set forth in the Performance Work Statement. At a minimum, the proposal shall include a brief narrative (conceptual work plan) that clearly demonstrates an understanding of the requirements of the solicitation. The narrative shall address how the Offeror will perform, develop and implement the work plan.

It shall not exceed five pages.

Submission Requirements:

At a minimum, the proposal for this factor shall include a brief narrative (conceptual work plan) that clearly demonstrates an understanding of the requirements of the solicitation. The narrative shall address:

1. Ability to explain how inspections are accomplished and documented, to cover all schedules in accordance with the contract.

2. Ability to explain controls for performance measures, to cover all schedules in accordance with the contract.

3. Ability to explain remedies to be used to address insufficiencies discovered from the Quality Control Operations.

4. How the contractor will prevent rework and if rework is necessary, how it will be addressed.

5. Resources (to include management and administrative) to perform requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Amd#0001

The Government reserves the right to evaluate past performance based on such information as the contracting officer’s knowledge and previous experience with the item or service being purchased, customer surveys, or other reasonable basis, without the existence of a formal database.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATIONOF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive or negative.
