Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

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

b. Past Performance (Section 3): The Government will evaluate offerors’ likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements as indicated by those offerors’ record of past performance. Past performance ratings will be based on data obtained from any available sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The Government will assign a rating as indicated below.

Table 2. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

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

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. 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.”

c. Price (Section 4): A Firm Fixed Price (FFP) shall be submitted for this effort. The vendor will provide pricing for each CLIN with associated pricing that details the level of effort (LOE) and mix of labor for each PWS Task. Each CLIN will be totaled, and the CLIN sub-totals will be included in the total proposal price.

The Government will then include an additional six months of option year four (4) prices for the option to extend services in accordance with FAR clause 52.217-8 to calculate the total evaluated price. The Government will evaluate all aspects of the price proposal for reasonableness. Proposals found to be unreasonable may be rejected on that basis. The Government will only award the required contract if a fair and reasonable price can be obtained.
