CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT:

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:

1. Price
2. Technical

Award shall be made based on a lowest price technically acceptable basis.

For evaluation purposes, the lowest priced offeror shall be the first to be evaluated. If technical is acceptable, other offerors shall not be evaluated and an award shall be made to that offeror. Should the lowest priced offeror not be acceptable in the technical portion, the next lowest offeror shall be evaluated, and so on.

(1) Price. An offerors quoted prices will be determined by calculating the total price of the base and all option years.

Note: Extension of services option. The government will evaluate bids for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic year requirement, as described below:

A) Estimated total amount of all options, by area, specified in the schedule under the authority of contract clause FAR 52.217-9 "Option to Extend the Term of the Contract" will be added to the basic year (including all areas) of the requirement.

B) Estimated total amount of "Extended Service" options specified in the schedule under the authority of contract clause, FAR 52.217-8 "Option to Extend Services" will be calculated as follows:

(1) The price equivalent to the six (6) months extension of services authorized by 52.217-8 will be evaluated and factored as part of the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for award. The Government will calculate proposed prices for a quantity equivalent to six months by prorating proposed prices offered for each area, including all Option's under FAR 52.217-9, using the following formula:

Base Period Total Extended Amount of each Area x 0.5*
1st Option Period Total Extended Amount of each Area x 0.5*
2nd Option Period Total Extended Amount of each Area x 0.5*

Note* 0.5 is the multiplicative factor used to derive the six months quantity value. If the period of performance is delayed, we will adjust the multiplicative factor in cases where the period of performance is less than 12 months.

C) Then, the total area amounts figured at paragraph 1.A will be added to the total area amounts calculated in para. 1.B to arrive at the TEP amounts for each area. Note, these TEP area amounts are for evaluation purposes only. Since the actual exercise of the Extension of Services for up to six months is a maximum period granted under FAR 52.217-8; the actual period of contract extension is unknown until the extension becomes necessary.

(2) Factor 2: Technical Capability. The factor will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. Acceptable is defined as the quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable is defined as the quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The following items will be evaluated in regards to the technical portion of this solicitation:

(A) Sub-Factor 1: Verification of a Bachelor's degree in Education or three years of Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) equivalent advisory and customer service experience. Degree must be from a United States institution accepted by an organization/association approved by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and/or the US Department of Education.

(B) Sub-Factor 2: Verification of an online certificate for minimum Words Per Minute (WPM) typing skills requirement. This certificate must state the average WPM which must be at or greater than the minimum requirement outlined in the PWS. (An example of an acceptable certificate is a free WPM test found through Google. A printout of the results is an acceptable verification of WPM)

(C) Sub-Factor 3: Mission Capability
The offeror shall describe their ability to provide continuous quality support for the efforts described in the PWS. This factor may not exceed 5 one-sided pages.
TABLE 3.2.1 - TECHNICAL ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE RATINGS
Rating Description
Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(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.
