52.212-5 Addendum

The Government has selected a Past Performance/Price Trade Off source selection methodology for this procurement. The Government places a high premium on the non-price factors (Factor I: Certifications and Factor II: Past Performance). The Government does intend to evaluate price, Factor III: Price quote, for reasonableness but believes the best value for the Navy will be achieved by awarding to a Quoter with a strong Non- Price quote.

The Government is very interested in the Quoter’s capability to provide the service requirements detailed in the PWS with a record of strong past performance. For these reasons, the Government believes the methodology chosen will afford the best value. The following language will be incorporated into the solicitation:

INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO QUOTERS

I. GENERAL

Quoters are required to submit their quotes in three (3) separate volumes as follows:

Volume I: Factor I – Certifications Volume II: Factor II – Past Performance Volume III: Factor III - Price Quote

Volume I: Factor I – Certifications

The Quoter shall provide documented proof/verification that it possesses current American Association for the Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) certification, and USDA license.

Volume II: Factor II – Past Performance

The Quoter shall provide information on no more than two (2) previous contracts for Combat First Aid, Category II (S-431-2121) and no more than two (2) previous contracts for Combat First Aid, Category III (S- 431-2222), for a total of four (4), showing effort was relevant to the effort required by this solicitation; the contracts provided shall demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance and have been performed within the last five (5) years from the solicitation closing date of this Request for Quote (RFQ). Evaluation will focus only on work experience already performed. Yet-to-be performed work and experience prior to the last five (5) years will not be considered. The following minimum information shall be provided within the contractor submitted references:

• Name of Quoter

• Contract Number/Task Order Number

• Contract Type

• Description of Work - Quoter should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts in terms of scope and magnitude to the requirements of the RFQ for purposes of relevancy.

• Quoterss are to identify the PWS section (4.0 – 5.0) in which the work relates to and explain how the work relates to said task(s).

• Valid Name, Phone Number, Location, and E-mail Address of Contracting Officer and

• Contracting Officer's Representative/Task Order Manager

• Annual Contract Cost and Total Contract Cost

• Period of Performance

• Number of Personnel (FTE) performing per year (average)

To demonstrate its past performance, the Quoter shall identify up to two (2) for each Course of Instruction identified, of its most relevant contracts performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date. Those contracts must also reflect one year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. Quoters shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts to the requirements of the solicitation.

For purposes of this solicitation, a contract is defined as a single contract or a single task order placed under an ID/IQ contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply Schedule. Quoters shall not submit the IDIQ contract, FSS contract, or BPA itself as a reference. Quoters may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs); task orders (TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance.

Such a combination must also meet the requirements stated above: each individual example in the combination must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date and demonstrate at least one

(1) year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. If a combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs are used as a past performance example, the Quoter shall state the specific experience claimed, period of performance, and dollar value of each. A Past Performance example that does not provide the level of detail required may not be evaluated. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal. One (1) year of completed performance is defined as twelve (12) consecutive months of performance. References with less than twelve (12) consecutive months of service will not be considered.

If a proposed subcontractor’s past performance is provided as part of the two (2) per Course of Instruction, of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement must be stated. The Quoter’s submittal shall also detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform may not be evaluated. If the prime Quoter or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort may not be evaluated.

The past performance of subcontractors who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as a prime contractor’s past performance.

Failure of Quoters to provide the required information and level of specificity may result in the contract reference not being evaluated. [With respect to joint ventures, the procuring activity will consider work done individually by each member of the joint venture as well as any work done by the joint venture itself previously. Joint venture references must meet the temporal requirements described in Section L (within five years and a year of completed performance). Additionally, if a joint venture member submits a past performance reference, the joint venture member shall detail clearly the work that it performed in that effort and the magnitude (dollar value) of that work. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the joint venture member’s effort for that reference may not be evaluated. The past performance of a joint venture member who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as the joint venture’s past performance.]

The Quoter shall complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation.

In addition to the information requested above, Quoters shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the Past Performance Report Form attached to the solicitation and e-mail the completed survey form directly to Jill Joscelyn at jill.h.joscelyn-smith.civ@us.navy.mil by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION.

The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information.

***The Past Performance submission is limited to 12 pages in total***
