(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--

Subfactor 4: Quality Control Plan (QCP): The offeror shall be evaluated on submitted Quality Control Plan that demonstrates the offeror’s approach to conducting comprehensive quality control in accordance with the PWS, Paragraph 1.6.1 to successfully meet the terms of the contract. The plan shall clearly describe the offeror’s quality control methods and practices such as standardized procedures to monitor performance, identify discrepancies, and take corrective action to prevent re-occurrences. As part of the QCP, the Offeror shall identify what items the Offeror will inspect under its comprehensive QC for each task listed in the PRS table and provide the Contractor Performance Standard and Data Source for the Offeror’s QC inspections.

FACTOR B-Past Performance:

Past performance shall be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. The Government may ascertain past performance information on the Offeror from sources other than the references provided. The offeror shall have recent and relevant past performance in Data wall and VTC maintenance and technical support. Recent past performance is within the last five (5) years as of the opening date of the solicitation. Relevant past performance are those that are the “same or similar” services based on size, scope, complexity, and contract type.

The past performance will be evaluated for all offeror’s proposals by the Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer in the following manner:

(1) Review of the detailed explanation submitted by offerors demonstrating the relevance of the references to the requirements of the solicitation.

(2) References will be contacted by phone or email to verify contents in detail explanation and to determine record of compliance with contract requirements, accuracy of reports, technical and quality awards/certificates.

(3) The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any reasonable source available, including Government database in order to evaluate past performance. The offeror shall provide past performance information on past or current contracts (including Federal/local Government and private) for efforts that are the same or similar to the Government’s requirement during the past five (5) years. Offerors are authorized to provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror’s corrective actions. The offeror shall describe its past performance on contract it has held which are of similar scope and magnitude to that which is detailed in the solicitation. A maximum of three (3) references will be evaluated.

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 past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.

FACTOR C - Price:

(a) Price analysis will be conducted for each proposal to ensure completeness and reasonableness. The following applies to that evaluation.

(1) Completeness. The Offeror shall complete the pricing information for each contract line item identified for each year and option year (include total price for all five (5) years). Any underlying assumptions including proposed escalation rates between base and subsequent option periods shall be clearly explained.

(2) Price Realism. Price analysis in conjunction with Technical Analysis will be used to perform a Price Realism Analysis to determine if the price is realistic for the work to be performed. The proposal will be evaluated using price analysis techniques to determine whether the proposal reflects a thorough understanding of the PWS, and whether the price proposed is realistic for the work to be performed and is consistent with approaches described in the technical proposals. Price proposals, which are

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 unrealistically low, will be deemed reflective of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the proposed contractual requirement and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.

(3) Price Reasonableness. Price should also reflect fair market value and be reasonable when compared to the independent government estimate, current market prices for same or similar services and/or when compared among other technically acceptable offerors.

(4) Unbalanced Pricing. As part of the price evaluation, proposals may be reviewed to identify any unbalanced pricing IAW FAR 15.404-1(g) (3). Unbalanced Pricing, a proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(5) Price is not scored. The Government will review the price proposal to determine the extent to which it is reasonable, realistic, and consistent with the technical proposal.

The lowest price for award purposes will be the combined total of the base year and all option periods. Price must include all CLINs and Sub-CLINs (if required) as listed on the Price Schedule, including option CLINs and Sub-CLINs. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions.

Therefore, Offerors are instructed that submitted proposals should contain their best pricing.

(b) Options. As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (FAR Clause 52.217-8 - Option to Extend Services) 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, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, and one-half of the 4th option. Offerors are required only to price the base and four (4) options.

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