SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 07-Oct-2020 08:00 AM to 07-Oct-2019 08:00 AM.

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 0001

1. There is a discrepancy regarding the time quotes are due. The SF 1449 states, “08:00 AM 07

Oct 2020”. FBO also states, “Quotes are due in this office no later than 7 OCT 2019, MONDAY at 8:00am (CST) local central daylight time.” FAR 52.212-1 ADDENDUM Section 3.5.1 states, “The entire and complete Quote, composed of Volumes I through V, shall be submitted by 1:00pm Central Standard Time, TBD.”

a. Answer - 7 OCT 2019, MONDAY at 8:00am (CST)

b. Question - FAR 52.212-1 ADDENDUM Section 3.5.1 states, “The entire and complete Quote, composed of Volumes I through V, shall be submitted by 1:00pm Central Standard Time, TBD.”

i. Answer – The correct date and time for the Quotes are 7 OCT 2019 at 8:00am CST. Corrected Volumes I & II only

2. There is a discrepancy regarding the time questions are due. FBO states, “Questions must be submitted no later than (NLT) 20 SEPT 2019 by 8:00am CST.” FAR 52.212-1 ADDENDUM, Section 2.1.1. states, “The due date for communications and questions will be 1:00pm Central Standard Time, TBD 2019.”

a. ANSWER – Questions must be submitted NLT 24 SEPT 2019 by 8:00am CST

3. It is unclear whether the solicitation is an RFQ or an RFP. The SF1449 has the “RFP” boxed checked in Box 14, however various language throughout refers to “Quotes.” Also, FAR 52.212-1 ADDENDUM, Section 2.1.1. refers to the RFQ.

a. Answer – Corrected from RFP to RFQ

4. “Is the Summary section in Volume I page counted, and if so, does it go toward the Factor 1 page count?” FAR 52.212-1 ADDENDUM, Section 4 states, “Each file of the Quote shall consist of a Summary section, and a narrative discussion.”

a. Answer – The Summary does not count towards the page count

5. The instructions did not specify where the FAR 52.212.1 requirements go. Can the reps & certs be included into the Volume II pricing?

a. Answer - The REP & CERTS should be included in VOL I

6. There is a question on the Cover letter for Past Performance Questionnaire. Is this a set template for the cover letter? It ask us to add our logo to the top, but it has a name at the bottom of the letter and needs to be signed. I believe this should be possibly be the company contact?

a. Answer - Removed for your signature

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

FAR 52.212-2 Addendum EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. BASIS FOR AWARD

The award will be made based on the best value from the quote that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors:

Technical, Past Performance and Price. To arrive at a Best Value decision the evaluation of Technical, Past Performance and Price as set out in the solicitation. In terms of the relative importance of the factors, Technical and Present/Past Performance when combined are more important than Price Factor. The firm that represents the best value to the Government will be selected for award in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(1) Evaluation of Quotations or Offers. Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. If non-price factors are evaluated as comparatively equal between two or more Offerors, Price may become a determinative factor.

The Contracting Officer will begin the evaluation process by conducting a quote compliance review for all timely-received quotes for determination of basic quote adequacy prior to providing the quotes to the evaluators. Failure to provide a complete quote may result in the quote being removed from further consideration for award. Failure to address any factor Technical, Past Performance and Price shall be grounds for elimination from evaluation and consideration for award.

Although the assessment of Past Performance as a specific evaluation factor is separate and distinct from the Determination of Responsibility required by FAR Part 9, Past Performance information obtained herein will be used during the Government’s responsibility determination. The Government also reserves the right to obtain additional information solely for the purpose of making a responsibility determination from all offerors after receipt of quotes. Requests for responsibility information do not constitute discussions.

2. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

2.1. The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each quote.

Award will be made to the offeror whose quote is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors described below.

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

2.2. Evaluation of the Offeror’s quote shall address each factor as it applies to the Performance Work Statement (PWS). A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth below of this section. During evaluations of each quote, the Government will assign each non-priced factor a rating.

3. EVALUATION CRITERIA

3.1. FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL APPROACH (VOLUME I) – The

Government will evaluate the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements, feasibility of approach, completeness, and technical risk relative to the PWS. This evaluation will consist of an assessment of all relevant aspects of the Offerors’ technical approach quotes based to the following:

3.1.1. Understanding of the Requirements. The extent to which the technical approach demonstrates a clear understanding of the PWS, and provides evidence of the ability to accomplish all such requirements.

3.1.2. Feasibility of Approach. The quote will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results are achievable. The quote will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The quote will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the Offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

3.1.3. Completeness. The extent to which the quote adequately and completely considers, defines, and satisfies the requirements specified in the solicitation. The extent to which each requirement of the solicitation has been addressed in the quote in accordance with the quote instructions in the solicitation.

3.1.4. Technical Risk: Risk assess the degree to which the Offeror’s proposed technical approach for the requirement may cause disruption of schedule, increased costs, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or increased likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

The table below reflects the combined Technical/Risk ratings and descriptions for Factor 1 (Technical Approach)

Combined Technical/Risk Rating

Color Rating Adjectival Rating Definition Blue Outstanding Quote indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple Good Quote indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green Acceptable Quote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Quote has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Quote does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Quote is unawardable.

For purpose of evaluation for Factor 1 (Technical Approach), Strength, Significant Strength, Weakness, Significant Weakness, Deficiency, and Uncertainty are defined as follows:

Strength is an aspect of an Offeror's quote that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Significant Strength is an aspect of an Offeror's quote that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Weakness means a flaw in the quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Significant Weakness in the quote is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Deficiency is a material failure of a quote to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

Uncertainty is any aspect of a non-cost/price factor quote for which the intent of the Offer is unclear (e.g. more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the quote indicating that there may have been an error, omission, or mistake).

3.3. FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE (VOLUME I) – The

Government will evaluate the Offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS. Past performance will be rated with one overall rating of “Performance Confidence Assessment”.

3.3.1. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation:

recency, relevancy and quality.

Recency – The Government will evaluate the recency of the Offeror's past performance. Recency is defined as work performed in the past three years from the closing date of this solicitation. A separate recency rating will not be given, rather, the past performance confidence assessment rating (para. 3.3.2.) is based on the Offeror's overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance. Past performance older than three years will not be considered.

Relevancy – The Offeror’s past performance must be assessed to determine the relevancy of an effort accomplished by the Offeror to the effort to be acquired through the source selection.

Relevancy is not separately rated; however, the following criteria will be used to establish what is relevant which shall include similarity of service/support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and degree of subcontract/teaming.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Quality – The Government will assess the quality of the Offeror’s past performance on those recent efforts that were determined relevant by determining how well the contractor performed on the contracts. Documented results from Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs), CPARS report(s), interviews, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment. A separate quality rating will not be given, rather, the past performance confidence assessment rating is based on the Offeror's overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance.

3.3.2. Performance Confidence Assessment – The final step is to arrive at a single consensus performance confidence assessment for the Offeror, selecting the most appropriate rating from the table below. In the case of Offerors for which there is noinformation on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance (see FAR 3.106-2(b)(4) Evaluation of Quotations or Offers. In this case, the Offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “neutral.”

Performance Confidence Assessments Rating

Adjectival Rating Description

Substantial Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence

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

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

3.4. FACTOR 3: PRICE (VOLUME II) – The Price factor evaluation will be conducted on the basis of fixed price. To be considered for evaluation, Offerors must submit a quote on all items/services listed in the solicitation and PWS. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness, completeness and balance for the fixed priced effort.

3.4.1. In evaluating “price reasonableness” the Government will focus on whether the price is too high to be considered fair and reasonable.

The Government will also evaluate whether the price is too low, which may indicate the prospective Offeror does not understand the requirement or may be offering an unrealistically low price that successful performance under the contract may be negatively impacted. In terms of “completeness”, the Government will evaluate whether the price appears to cover all of the work identified in the PWS. In terms of “balance”, the Government will evaluate whether the pricing is consistent throughout the term of the contract to include any options.

3.4.2. The base period and all option years shall be included in the price calculation. The Government will review CLINs for reasonableness, realism, completeness, and balance to determine whether they reflect an understanding of Government tasks or contain apparent mistakes that will be considered a performance risk. As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the

Offeror’s final option period price to the Offeror’s total price. Thus, the Offeror’s total price for the purpose of the evaluation (i.e. Total Evaluated Price) will include the base period, total of options, and one-half of the last year option to determine the price basis. Offerors are required only to price the base and the four one-year options.

Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential one-half year extension of services period.
