1. BASIS FOR AWARD

This acquisition is a 100% Small Business Set Aside, competitive procurement utilizing Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) best value continuum source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-2. A single award will be made to the Offeror who provides a technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price. Quoted prices will be evaluated but not scored or otherwise combined with the other aspects of the quote evaluation.

2. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

Factor 1: Experience Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price

3. EVALUATION APPROACH

All quotes will be evaluated by the Technical Evaluation Team. A quote must receive an “Acceptable” rating in all non-price factors to be considered for award. The two non-price factors are Experience and Past Performance.

4. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF FACTORS

Factor 1, Experience and Factor 2 Past Performance are equally important. When combined, both non-priced factors are equal to Factor 3 Price.

5. EVALUATION CRITERIA

FACTOR 1 –EXPERIENCE:

The Government will evaluate the Experience factor on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis based on the descriptions outlined in Table C-1. Offerors who are determined “Unacceptable” will not be eligible for award.

Experience Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings and Evaluation Method:

Table C-1 Experience Evaluation Ratings Rating Description

ACCEPTABLE Quote meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Quote does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The Government will evaluate experience capabilities of the Offeror.

To be considered acceptable for FACTOR 1, Offerors shall submit evidence of item’s A, B & C below:

**Please complete and submit Exhibit A**

a. The Prime Contractor is required to submit ONE commercial contract demonstrating 5 years’ experience completing grounds maintenance on projects of a similar size and scope to the Clock Tower Complex grounds maintenance project. Current references for these contracts, must be included with the one contract submitted.

b. The Prime Contractor is required to have a facility to be located within 60 miles of the project location AND submit a list of personnel who will be working on this potential contract, AND submit a list of equipment by type quantity, as proof of the companies’ ability to self-perform on-site work thru their own staffing and equipment.

All information submitted must be accurate and complete.

All project examples shall contain a Point of Contact (POC) as well as one alternate Point of Contact, to include the name, job title of the POC, address, telephone, and e-mail address. The POC and alternate shall be familiar with the scope and details of the project and be a representative of the owner/customer/prime contractor, not affiliated with the Offeror. The POC and alternate shall be able to verify the experience cited.

FACTOR 2 –PAST PERFORMANCE:

Past performance information may be obtained from established systems such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, such as the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

The Government reserves the right to evaluate the past performance of any team member in the Offeror’s quote using all CAGE/DUNS numbers (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified as part of its assessment of the acceptability of that Offeror’s quote.

The Government will evaluate the Past Performance factor on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis based on the descriptions outlined in Table C-2. Offerors who are determined “Unacceptable” will not be eligible for award.

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings and Evaluation Method:

Table C-2 Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description

ACCEPTABLE Offerors whose past performance information demonstrates all the elements being rated at satisfactory or above, or whose performance record is unknown (see note below), will be rated Acceptable for Past Performance.

UNACCEPTABLE Offerors whose past performance information demonstrates any of the element being rated as marginal or lower will be rated Unacceptable for Past Performance.

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.”

FACTOR 3 -- PRICE:

Price will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the quote evaluation. An award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote. The lowest price will be determined by adding up all listed line items. Offerors shall complete and submit the Schedule of Prices with its quote and include a price for each line item. Failure to submit a price for any of the required line items on the Schedule of Prices will render the Offeror’s quote as ineligible for award. Offerors will be allowed one quote submission.

The Technical Evaluation Team will evaluate each Offeror’s price and verify that unbalanced pricing is not present. The Contracting Officer will evaluate each Offeror’s price in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 to determine price reasonableness. Price reasonableness will be determined by comparing all quoted prices, the Independent Government Estimate, and pricing of previous work that is equivalent or similar to the requirement.

As prescribed in 19.309(c)(1), insert the following clause:

Postaward Small Business Program Rerepresentation (Jan 2025)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options. However, the term does not include contracts that exceed five years in duration because the period of performance has been extended for a cumulative period not to exceed six months under the clause at 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or other appropriate authority.

Small business concern-

(1) Means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in its field of operation, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(2) Affiliates, as used in this definition, means business concerns, one of whom directly or indirectly controls or has the power to control the others, or a third party or parties control or have the power to control the others. In determining whether affiliation exists, consideration is given to all appropriate factors including common ownership, common management, and contractual relationships. SBA determines affiliation based on the factors set forth at 13 CFR 121.103.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3) prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size and socioeconomic status according to paragraph (f) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (h) of this clause, upon occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(3) For long-term contracts-

(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

(c) If the Contractor represented its status as any of the small business concerns identified at 19.000(a)(3) prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size and socioeconomic status according to paragraph (f) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (h) of this clause, for the NAICS code assigned to an order (except that paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this clause do not apply to an order issued under a Federal Supply Schedule contract at subpart 8.4)-

(1) Set aside exclusively for a small business concern identified at 19.000(a)(3) that is issued under an unrestricted multiple-award contract, unless the order is issued under the reserved portion of an unrestricted multiple-award contract ( e.g., an order set aside for a woman-owned small business under a multiple-award contract that is not set-aside, unless the order is issued under the reserved portion of the multiple-award contract);

(2) Issued under a multiple-award contract set aside for small businesses that is further set aside for a specific socioeconomic category that differs from the underlying multiple-award contract ( e.g., an order set aside for a HUBZone small business concern under a multiple-award contract that is set aside for small businesses);

(3) Issued under the part of the multiple-award contract that is set aside for small businesses that is further set aside for a specific socioeconomic category that differs from the underlying set-aside part of the multiple-award contract ( e.g., an order set aside for a WOSB concern under the part of the multiple-award contract that is partially set aside for small businesses); and

(4) When the Contracting Officer explicitly requires it for an order issued under a multiple-award contract, including for an order issued under a Federal Supply Schedule contract (see 8.405-5(b) and 19.301-2(b)(2)).

(d) The Contractor shall rerepresent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this rerepresentation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code(s) assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code(s) can be found at https://www.sba.gov/document/support--table-size-standards.

(e) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing an end item that it does not manufacture, process, or produce itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees, or 150 employees for information technology value-added resellers under NAICS code 541519, if the acquisition-

(1) Was set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Used the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the Contractor waived the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Was an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(f) Except as provided in paragraph (h) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the representation(s) required by paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Representations and Certifications section of the System for Award Management (SAM) and its other data in SAM, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause, or with its offer for an order (see paragraph (c) of this clause), that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.
