(2)
(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.
The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Past Performance and Price
Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal to price.

*Reference Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 for details of how proposals will be evaluated.
(b) 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).
(c) 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.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items
EVALUATION CRITERIA
1.0. Evaluation Process.
1.1. Each Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) member will independently prepare a Proposal Evaluation Worksheet for each proposal, evaluating the factors of Past Performance and Technical.
1.2. Upon the completion of the independent evaluations of Past Performance and Technical, the Chairperson will assemble the board members for open discussion. The group will reach a consensus and assign an overall rating to each proposal for Past Performance and Technical, which will be documented on a Consensus Proposal Evaluation Worksheet. In the event the group cannot reach a consensus, majority and minority reports will be prepared. The SSEB will rate each proposal independently, and not make comparisons to other proposals concerning Past Performance and Technical.
1.3. After the Performance and Technical evaluations are complete, the Price proposals will be presented to the SSEB members and ratings assigned.
1.4. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award the contract without discussions; therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposals, such as the relevance of an offeror’s past performance information, adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, or to resolve minor clerical errors.
1.5. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
1.6. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; award a contract to other than the offeror submitting the highest technically rated; and award contracts to offerors submitting a proposal determined by the Government to be the best value to the Government.
1.7. The Contract Specialist will conduct a proposal compliance review before the SSEB convenes, and refer any non-compliant proposals to the Contracting Officer and/or Source Selection Authority (SSA) for determination of adequacy. Failure to comply with solicitation instructions will result in the proposal being found non-responsive, rejected and eliminated from further consideration for award.
1.8. 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.
2.0. Evaluation Factors and Subfactors. The factors to be evaluated are Technical, Past Performance and Price. The Technical subfactors of Course Content and Offeror/Instructor Qualifications are approximately equal in importance. Technical and Past Performance, when combined, are approximately equal to Price.
2.1. PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract’s requirements. In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2), the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance shall be considered.
These are combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each offeror.
W912LP-18-R-0011 ATTACHMENT #2 PAGE 5 OF 34
2.1.1. There are three sub-factors to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality of services/training.
2.1.1.1. Recency. Past performance is considered recent if the training occurred within three (3) years prior to the date of the solicitation, and includes present performance. However, references for training conducted more recently may receive more consideration. For example, a reference for training conducted within the last 12 months may receive more consideration than a reference for training conducted 30 months ago. Recency will be expressed using the Past Performance Recency Ratings described in Table 1.
Table 1 - Past Performance Recency Rating Adjectival Rating Description Very Recent Performance from 18 months before solicitation date to present Recent Performance from 36 to 18 months before solicitation date Not Recent Performance 36 months before solicitation date and older
2.1.1.2. Relevance. In establishing what is relevant to this acquisition, consideration will be given to scope and complexities (similarity, complexity and duration of training; similarity of audience type); magnitude of effort (one-time training or multiple iterations, single or multiple years); and extent of subcontracting/teaming. Relevance will be expressed using the Past Performance Relevancy Ratings described in Table 2.
Table 2 - Past Performance Relevancy Rating
Very Relevant Past performance effort involved essentially the same scope, complexities and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.
Relevant Past performance effort involved scope, complexities and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.
Somewhat Relevant Past performance effort involved some of the scope, complexities and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.
Not Relevant Past performance effort involved little or none of the scope, complexities and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.
2.1.1.3. Quality of Services/Training. The SSEB will review all past performance information collected to determine the quality of the offeror’s performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate these into the performance confidence assessment. A separate quality assessment rating will not be made. The Quality of Services/Training will consider the following elements and sub-elements:
2.1.1.3.1. Quality of Products/Service, includes the following sub-elements:
2.1.1.3.1.1. Course Design & Development
2.1.1.3.1.2. Course Curriculum/Agenda

2.1.2.1. Past performance information may be provided by the offeror, as solicited;
2.1.2.2. Past performance information may be obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition; and
2.1.2.3. Past performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and interviews with Program Managers, Customers and Contracting Officers within our own agency or other agencies.
2.1.3. Performance Confidence Assessment. Using the past performance sub-factors and ratings identified above, the SSEB will assess performance confidence using the Performance Confidence Assessment described in Table 3.
W912LP-18-R-0011 ATTACHMENT #2 PAGE 7 OF 34
Table 3 - Performance Confidence Assessment
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.
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.
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.
2.2. TECHNICAL FACTOR. The Technical factor refers to non-cost/price factors other than past performance. The evaluation of the Technical factor will assess the ability of the offeror to provide the specific instruction outlined in the solicitation and Performance Work Statement (PWS). Technical will be evaluated at the subfactor level. The Technical Subfactors of Course Content and Offeror/Instructor Qualifications are approximately equal in importance.
2.2.1. Course Content. Course content will be evaluated based on inclusion of required course topics and the ability to achieve the objectives outlined within the PWS. Failure to submit the course content information identified in the solicitation submission requirements will result in a negative technical rating for this subfactor.
Proposals that merely mimic language from the RFP/PWS will result in a negative technical rating for this subfactor.
2.2.2. Offeror Qualifications. The offeror (contractor) must meet the following minimum qualifications.
2.2.2.1. Offerors (contractors) shall have prior experience in the design, development, and delivery of both introductory and intermediate level criminal intelligence courses which are compliant with the training requirements recommended by the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan (NCISP).
2.2.2.2. Offeror (contractor) shall have provided at least three (3) iterations of both introductory and intermediate level criminal intelligence courses including concepts and topics identified in PWS paragraphs 5.1.2 and 5.2.2 and their sub-paragraphs within the past three (3) years.
2.2.3. Instructor Qualifications. Offerors shall determine the appropriate number of instructors required to teach the course, based on their instruction methodology and class size. Each proposed instructor must meet the minimum qualifications.
2.2.3.1. Instructor(s) shall have a minimum of 10 years of experience working in law enforcement intelligence.
2.2.3.2. Instructor(s) with more than 15 years of law enforcement intelligence experience are preferred.
2.2.3.3. Instructor(s) shall be currently engaged in training law enforcement officers on current law enforcement intelligence concepts, processes and functions; consistent with NCISP.
W912LP-18-R-0011 ATTACHMENT #2 PAGE 8 OF 34
2.2.3.4. Instructor(s) shall have studied, practiced, researched, taught, and consulted on basic and advanced level intelligence functions and operations.
2.2.3.5. Instructor(s) who have authored assessments and professional treatises on criminal intelligence matters are preferred.
2.2.4. Failure to submit the offeror and instructor qualification information identified in the solicitation submission requirements, or proposals that merely mimic language from the RFP/PWS will result in a negative technical rating for this component.
2.2.5. The SSEB will assess the Technical factors and subfactors utilizing the Combined Technical/Risk Rating Method described in Table 4.
Table 4 – Combined Technical Risk Rating Method Color Rating
Adjectival Rating Description
Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.
Purple Good Proposal 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 Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.
Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.
Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.
2.3. PRICE FACTOR. The SSEB will conduct comparative evaluations of price proposals. The determination that a proposed price is fair and reasonable will be based on comparison of the proposed prices and comparison to the Independent Government Estimate (IGE). If the price is determined to be reasonable in comparison to the other offerors’ prices and the IGE, the price proposal will receive a “GO” rating. If price is determined to be unreasonable in comparison to other offerors’ prices, the price proposal will receive a “NO GO” rating.
2.3.1. Discounts: Prompt payment discounts will not be considered in the evaluation of offers.
2.3.2. 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).
