Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(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--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.

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:

· See below Addendum to FAR Clause 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (JAN 1999)

(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 (JAN 1999)

In accordance with FAR Part 12 and 13 the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror submitting the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable proposal that satisfies all terms and conditions of this solicitation.

1. Technical: Each factor and sub factor will be rated either acceptable or unacceptable. A rating of unacceptable for any factor or sub factor will result in an overall unacceptable rating. If an offeror fails to meet the minimum requirements outlined in one of the four subfactors below, the subfactor, and overall proposal will be rated “unacceptable” and will not be eligible for award.

Technical Acceptable/Un-acceptable Ratings

Subfactor (1) Prime Contractor’s Prior Experience: The contractor shall have a minimum three (3) years of experience in providing cleaning of aircrafts exterior within last five (5) years from issuance of solicitation. The experience of a subcontractor cannot be substitute for the prime contractor’s experience.

Subfactor (2) Prime Contractor’s Business Registration and Permission: The contractor shall have a valid and current business registration (사업자등록증) and building sanitation control business permission (건물위생관리업) issued by ROK Government.

Subfactor (3) Contract Manager (CM): The contractor’s proposed CM shall have a minimum two (2) years of experience as a CM in managing cleaning aircraft service within the last five (5) years from the issuance date of this solicitation.

1. Past Performance: The offeror’s past performance history in performing same or similar requirement as set forth in this contract will be evaluated to assess the offeror’s capability to perform the contract. Past performance will be evaluated only on proposals that received a technically acceptable rating for the Factor 1. Offeror’s will be evaluated on recent and relevant past performance within the last five (5) years from the issuance date of this solicitation for work that is the same or similar in scope and complexity to the work in the PWS.

The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any reasonable source available, including Government database in order to evaluate past performance.

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".

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

1. Price: Proposed price will be reviewed to ensure completeness, reasonableness, and balanced. The pricing proposals will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.302-1.

(1) Completeness. The offeror shall complete the pricing information for all CLINs/Sub-CLINs identified for base period plus four (4) options (five (5) years). Any underlying assumptions including proposed escalation rates between the 1st and subsequent periods shall be clearly explained.

(2) 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.

(3) Price is not scored. The lowest price for award purposes will be the combined total of the base period and all option period including the FAR 52.217-8 option. Price must include all CLINs as listed on the Price Schedule. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, Offerors are instructed that the offeror’s initial proposals should contain their best pricing.

(4) FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services. 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 prices 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.
