Offeror’s are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors.

Offerors shall submit in their proposal all requested information specified in this section of the solicitation at or before the exact time specified. There will be no public opening of the proposals received as a result of this solicitation. If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain and error, ambiguity, omission or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale.

In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals.

II. BASIS OF AWARD

The Government will award this contract on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. The Contract will be consist of a base year with four options years. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment.

Overall Relative Order of Important of Evaluation Factors:

All evaluation factors when combined are significantly less important than price.

The evaluation factors are as follows:

Factor I – Technical Capability: the Offeror must provide information as specified in the attached Scope of Work under section 4 Information Requirements. Each submittal will be evaluated to ensure requirements are met. The responsiveness and quality of information delivered by the Technical Service Department contacts provided shall also be considered in evaluating technical acceptability.

Factor II – Product Performance Testing: The product submitted by the offeror must meet the minimum performance requirements as stated in the instructions to offerors. Additionally the testing Agency will determine a Performance Factor for all submitted samples. This Performance Factor will be used to calculate the Weighted Cost.

Factor III – Past Performance: An acceptable rating is required to be considered for award. The Offeror must provide information demonstrating that they have already successfully performed as a prime contractor within the last five (5) years of at least two (2) chemical contracts of equal or greater complexity to this solicitation in the minimum price range of $100,000 - $500,000. This information shall be submitted on the Past Performance Contacts Questionnaire (attached) and information requested on this document must be submitted. The Offeror shall submit at least two references, including point of contact name, email address and phone number, that can verify past performance listed in this paragraph. This shall be submitted directly to the Contract Specialist via email at LaShura.M.Johnson@usace.army.mil. Failure to do so will deem Offeror non-responsive.

The Past Performance Questionnaire included in this solicitation is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the Contract Specialist for each project the Offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 2 – Past Performance. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) should be submitted with your proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before solicitation closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the quote the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. Questionnaires will be submitted directly to the Contract Specialist (via email) at least 2 days prior to the solicitation closing date.

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFQs.

However, this does not preclude the Government’s from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Offerors may include performance recognition documents received within the last 5 years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

The Government may review any other sources available to retrieve past performance information. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, ast Performance Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

Factor IV – Offerors shall insert proposed pricing in the Price Schedule, proposing a price on all proposed items. The unit prices shall include all markups for providing the specified chemical requirements. Markups are defined as all other direct and indirect costs, management, supervision, contractor furnished equipment, material, and supplies, travel, overhead and profit. Weighted Cost will determine the lowest price among submitted quotes. The formula to be used is as follows:

Price per Dry Ton X Performance Factor = Weighted Cost

The absence of any information required to support the evaluation factors herein and as described below will result in disqualification from competition, as that offer will be found non-responsive and unacceptable. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Factors I, II and III.

III. EVALUATION RATINGS

The following ratings, as defined, will be assessed to the evaluations factors as indicated below.

FACTOR I – Technical Capability Rating Definition

Factor I – Technical Acceptability Factor II – Product Performance Testing Factor III – Past Performance Factor IV – Price

Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly less important than cost or price. This contract will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Basis.

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.
