Part 2 of 2

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(A) Acceptable

Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. 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.

An 'Acceptable' 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.

(U) Unacceptable

Performance does not meet some or most contractual requirements. 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.

An 'Unacceptable' rating is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

F. Volume 2 – Price Schedule Instructions. Offerors shall utilize the price schedule included in the RFQ as the Volume 2 Price Schedule submission.

G. Weight of Evaluations. This RFQ is being evaluated under Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria. Due to the commercial nature of this requirement no technical proposals are required in this RFQ. Instead, past performance shall be evaluated based upon the criteria below. In order for a quotation to be considered 'Technically Acceptable' the past performance rating below must be rated 'Acceptable'.

H. Volume 1 Past Performance Information. The Past Performance of the Prime Contractor (Offeror) consists of (a) Relevant Company Effort and (b) Quality of Past Performance. The Government will review recent, relevant company efforts and quality i n f o r ma t i o n provided by the owners of those efforts to assess the Offeror’s past experience and probability of successfully performing the work described in this solicitation. A recent, relevant project is:

(a) Performed under a contract or task order, as those terms are defined in FAR 2.101, for Federal projects, or similar contractual agreements for State or Local Governments, or the commercial or private sector. (Multiple projects under a single contract or task order are considered one project.

However, do not combine multiple projects under separate contracts or task orders to create a single project.);

(b) That is “recent”; one that has been completed within five (5) years of the solicitation issue date, or on-going project at least 50% complete (measured by end user approved progress report) as of the solicitation issue date. (Offerors are responsible for providing start and completion dates for each completed project, or the start and scheduled completion dates for projects currently being performed);

(c) That is “relevant”; one that is similar in scope (type, size, complexity and dollar value) to the project types described in Section 01 00 02, in particular paragraph 2.0 OBJECTIVE. (In terms of dollar value, a relevant project is one ranging from $100k to $1M. For a project to be assessed any degree of “relevancy” it must clearly demonstrate installation references of Software House integrated systems. Additionally, the contractor is required to provide a current Software House certification in order to be considered technically acceptable.

Every recent and relevant PPQ reference shall contribute toward an overall Volume 1 Past Performance evaluation rating based upon the following rating scale. Any rating of 'Acceptable' shall demonstrate the quotation is considered 'Technically Acceptable'.

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(A) Acceptable

Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. 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.

An 'Acceptable' 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.

(U) Unacceptable

Performance does not meet some or most contractual requirements. 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.

An 'Unacceptable' rating is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

I. Volume 2 Price Schedule. The price schedule will be evaluated based upon the lowest priced offeror being considered most advantageous to the government. The price schedule shall be submitted in Firm Fixed Price values.

J. Award Recommendation. Award recommendation should it be accomplished shall be issued to the LPTA offeror. There is no preference given for vendors with higher past performance evaluation ratings.

(2) 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).

(3) 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.
