A. Basis for Award. This acquisition will utilize LPTA procedures and make an award in accordance with FAR Part 15.101-2.

VOLUME I - PRICE

FACTOR 1: Price.

(1) Adequate price competition is anticipated, therefore only price information is requested at this time;

however, the USG reserves the right to request cost and pricing data in the event price reasonableness cannot be determined based on adequate price competition. The proposed price will be evaluated for price reasonableness and unbalanced pricing.

(2) Price Reasonableness will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.4 utilizing the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b) that are deemed appropriate based on the TEP.

(3) The TEP for award purposes will be the aggregate of all FFP CLINs. The TEP excludes the cost reimbursable CLINs for Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance. As part of the TEP Price, the USG will evaluate its option to extend services (see 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 evaluation will include the base period, all options and ½ of the last option period. Offerors are not required to enter a price for the six-month period.

(4) Unbalanced Pricing: Unbalanced Pricing between option years will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk which could result in unreasonably high or low prices during performance.

VOLUME II – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

FACTOR 2: Technical Capability. The Technical evaluation provides an assessment of the Offeror’s capability to satisfy the USG’s minimum requirements. The evaluation will determine if the Offeror adequately provides an understanding of the functional areas with associated technical expertise with its management, technical and staffing plan. The Offeror’s proposal must be acceptable in all Sub-factors to be determined acceptable for Factor 2.

Sub-factor 1: Management Approach.

(2) The proposal identifies individual authorities and decision making authority within the organization that is at a level that is practical for efficient operations.

(3) If applicable, the proposal includes a realistic and feasible process for integration of teaming partners into the overall organization.

(4) The proposal identifies a realistic and feasible plan to timely reprioritize work and adapt to fluctuating work priorities as dictated by ASG-A.

• The Offeror’s Recruitment and Retention Plan delineates a realistic and feasible approach with processes in place for hiring and retaining qualified employees as identified in the PWS for the duration of the contract.

Sub-factor 3: Technical Approach. The USG will evaluate the adequacy and feasibility of the Offeror’s Technical approach. To be acceptable, the standard is met when the Offeror demonstrates at a minimum the following:

(1) The Offeror provides a technical approach that clearly demonstrates the Offeror’s understanding of the technical requirements and describes how the proposed personnel will be able to successfully perform the requirements of the PWS.

Ratings. The Technical Factors and sub-factors will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below in Table 1.

The Sub-factor ratings will be used to determine an overall rating for factor 2.

Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

VOLUME III – PAST PERFORMANCE

FACTOR 3 – Past Performance. The Past Performance evaluation will access the offeror‘s probability of meeting the solicitation’s requirement’s as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. Past Performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror’s proposal and data obtain from other sources, such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), 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 USG, such as the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, and Contracting Officers. Past Performance areas of evaluation include:

Business Relations Quality of Service Schedule Customer Satisfaction

a) Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

b) Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity.

The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature of work, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation.

A relevancy determination of the offeror’s (including joint venture partners(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)) past performance will be made. IN determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror’s contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. The past performance information provided in the proposal and obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

c) The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment.

d) Assigning Ratings. The Past Performance factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below.

Table 1. Past Performance 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 does not have a 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 (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

RESPONSIBILITY OF OFFERORS. Successful Offerors shall be responsible to perform the work described in this solicitation. To be determined responsible, the Offeror shall meet the requirements in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 as well as:

a. Have the necessary personnel and equipment to perform the work
