Paragraph (h) - Multiple awards: ONLY ONE CONTRACT AWARD will be made.

Paragraph (i) - Availability of Requirements document cited does not apply to this solicitation.

Paragraph (m) is added to incorporate the following with respect to the information and documents required for submission in response to this solicitation:

- Award of this contract will be on a Low Price Technically Acceptable basis pursuant to the award criteria stated in FAR provision 52.212-2. Since it is the Government’s intent to award without discussions, per FAR provision 52.212-1(g), offerors are cautioned to examine this solicitation in its entirety and to ensure that their proposal contains all necessary information, provides all required documentation, and is complete in all respects.

INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS

FACTOR 1: Technical Acceptability:

Technical Subfactor 1: Personnel Staffing and Qualifications- As part of its proposal, offerors shall submit (1) a personnel staffing plan that addresses how it will meet the PWS requirements defined in paragraph 1.6.18 (Key Personnel) for the contract manager and alternate contract manager, and (2) a copy of certification by Handwerkskammer of the Kfz-Mechaniker/Mechatroniker-Meister as required in paragraph 1.6.18 (Key Personnel).

FACTOR 2: Past Performance

a. Offeror shall describe up to three (3) relevant contracts (if available) and/or subcontracts it has performed over the past three (3) years. Relevant contracts include individual contracts that are similar in scope to this solicitation, including contracts performed by a teaming partner or subcontractor. New corporate entities may submit data on prior contracts involving its officers, and proposed key personnel; however, in addition to the other requirements in this section, the Offeror shall describe in detail the role performed by such persons in the contracts cited. The list shall include, for each contract:

(i) Verified contract information for U.S. Government contracts, identifying the Contracting Office, and providing contact information for the Procuring and Administrative Contracting Officers, and the Contracting Officer's Representative for each contract listed.

(ii) For all contracts, provide the name and address of the client firm and name and full contract information (telephone number, fax number, and email address) for a point of contact with knowledge of the contractor’s performance. The contact information must be current as of the date of the submission of the offer.

(iii) Contract Number

(iv) Total contract value (or current and/or estimated total values, if ongoing)

b. The Government reserves the right to gather and consider information from sources other than those identified by the offeror, including the Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS). Offerors are requested to notify references that the Government may be contacting them.

References that cannot be contacted will not be considered.

FACTOR 3: Price

a. Offerors shall complete the pricing information on the SF 1449 for CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001,1002, 2001, and 2002.

The Government will evaluate the offerors' price for completeness and unbalanced pricing. Each offeror's proposed price will be evaluated to determine whether it is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.404. The total evaluated price shall be the sum of CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001,1002, 2001, and 2002 prices listed in the schedule for the base year, all option years, and an additional six months of service possible under FAR 52.217-8. To account for the option period(s) possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months), Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the price for all CLINS 2001 and 2002 of the final option period, prorate it to a six-month value, and add it to the sum of CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001,1002, 2001, and 2002 (base plus all option periods). This amount will be the total evaluated price. 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). In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total amount, the unit price will be held to be the intended offer and the total recomputed accordingly. If the offer provides a total amount for a contract item but fails to enter the unit price, the amount divided by the specified quantity will be held to be the intended unit price. Although the Government will include CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001,1002, 2001, and 2002 when determining the total evaluated price, contract award will only be made to the base year CLINs 0001 and 0002.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(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:

1. Technical

2. Past Performance

3. Price

The Government will make an award using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process per FAR 15.101-2. Technical and past performance, when combined, is used to evaluate the offeror’s proposal for acceptability. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

After determination of technical acceptability and past performance rating of acceptable, award will be based on the lowest price, technically acceptable proposal.

Factor 1: Technical

The Technical rating will be based on an “Acceptable” / “Unacceptable” basis. The following definitions will be used in evaluating the offeror’s proposal against the technical requirement.

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

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

Technical Subfactor 1: Personnel Staffing and Qualifications. The Government will review the personnel staffing plan and copy of Kfz-Mechaniker/Mechatroniker-Meister certification to determine whether offeror’s personnel staffing and qualifications meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The technical factor is met when the Offeror’s proposal demonstrates an effective approach that clearly demonstrates evidence of the full capability for executing the PWS requirements.

Factor 2: Past Performance

The Past Performance rating will be based on an “Acceptable” / “Unacceptable” basis. The following definitions will be used in evaluating the degree the offeror will satisfactorily provide the required services based on past and current performance records. An Acceptable or Unacceptable rating will be determined as follows:

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 (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

a. Past Performance Information: The information presented in the Past Performance References and information obtained from other available sources other than those identified by the Offeror (such as past performance information obtained from Federal, State and local Government agencies, better business bureaus, published media, and electronic data bases available to the Government) will be the basis for evaluation of this factor.

b. Past Performance Evaluation: The Government will consider the offeror’s previous and current record of contractual performance. The Government assessment will focus on recent contracts that are relevant to the effort required by this solicitation. Recent is defined for this action to be contracts that were performed within the last five (5) calendar years from the issuance date of the Request for Proposals (RFP). Relevant contracts include individual contracts that are similar, in whole or in part, to this solicitation, including contracts performed by a teaming partner or subcontractor.

c. The Government may reject a proposal if it is found that any information that has a negative impact on the offeror’s past performance record has been deleted, misrepresented, or withheld.

d. It is at the Government’s discretion to determine whether past performance information furnished is or is not considered similar to the size and scope of the present requirement. Should the offeror have no past performance information the Government will assign the neutral rating of “Unknown Confidence” to the offeror, which will be deemed as an “Acceptable.”

e. Offerors are cautioned that, in conducting the past performance assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proving an “acceptable” past performance rests with the offerors.

f. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on the contracts identified in their past performance submissions and the offerors’ corrective actions (FAR 15.305).

Factor 3: Price:

a. The total evaluated price shall be the sum of CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001, 1002, 2001, and 2002 prices listed in the schedule for the base year, all option years, and an additional six months of service possible under FAR 52.217-

8. To account for the option period(s) possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months) Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the price for CLINs 2001 and 2002 of the final option period, prorate it to a six-month value, and add it to the sum of CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001, 1002, 2001, and 2002 (base plus all option periods). This amount will be the total evaluated price. 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).

b. Currency: Offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall be in terms of local currency or U.S. Dollars.

The Government shall use the daily exchange rate of the solicitation closing date to convert local currency offers into U.S. Dollar for evaluation. Evaluation of foreign currency offers will be in accordance with FAR clause 52.225-17. All supporting documentation shall reflect the same currency established in the price proposal.

c. Each offeror’s proposed price will be evaluated to determine whether it is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.404.

(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. To account for the option period(s) possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months).

Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the price for CLINs 2001 and 2002 of the final option period, prorate it to a six-month value, and add it to the sum of CLINS 0001, 0002, 1001, 1002, 2001, and 2002 (base plus all option periods). This amount will be the total evaluated price. 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.
