CLAUSES AND PROVISIONS INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT:

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items

(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.

(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.

EVALUATION FACTORS
Factor 1 Price
Factor 2 Technical Capability
Factor 3 Past Performance
All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price:

Factor 1 - Price
The proposed prices shall be evaluated for completeness, and reasonableness. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the prices are significantly unbalanced. (Note: The 162nd Wing is subject to the Arizona Business Privilege Tax).

Factor 2 - Technical Capability
The evaluation will consist of assessing the Offeror's technical approach to accomplish the tasks outlined in the PWS. The offeror must demonstrate a clear understanding of the nature and the scope of the work required. Failure to provide realistic, reasonable and complete information may reflect a lack of understanding of the requirements and may result in a determination that the vendor is technically unacceptable. This factor will be evaluated to assess the risk of successful performance based on the quality of the offeror's technical knowledge of GSA lightweight panel modular vault installation and certification to AA-V-2737 standards that either meets or exceeds the government's requirements as defined in the performance work statement.
Technical Sub-factors:
1. Provide the names of the key personnel on staff (at a minimum)
2. The proposal demonstrates an appropriate level of personnel resources across the range of skills required to accomplish the requirement.
3. The proposal demonstrates a sound technical approach to accomplish the requirements of the PWS in accordance with applicable standards and required certifications.
4. The proposal demonstrates a sound, rational, effective and efficient management approach to accomplish the requirements identified in the PWS.

Technical Ratings

Adjectival Rating - Description
Outstanding - Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths.
Good - Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength.
Acceptable Proposal indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.
Marginal - Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.
Unacceptable - Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable.
Factor 3 - Past Performance

The Government will analyze and consider the risk and confidence level illustrated by relevant, recent past performance in which the company has performed (see details below):

Utilizing Attachment 3 - Reference List, the vendor shall provide contact information of past/current clients/customers (for services rendered within 3 years of solicitation closing date) who have had agreements/contracts of similar service to this requirement. The completed reference list must be submitted with offerors quote.

To validate level of performance for references submitted listed on attachment 3, offerors must contact/solicit references to complete Attachment 4 - Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). Completed PPQ(s) shall be emailed from past performance reference directly to michael.salmon.5@us.af.mil PPQs forwarded from or otherwise passed through the offeror will not be considered. PPQ(s) must be received no later than the solicitation closing date/time.

The Government will analyze and consider the risk and confidence level illustrated by relevant, recent past performance in which the company has performed utilizing submitted past performance questionnaires and any sources available including, but not limited to:
• Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)
• Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)
• Other Publically Available Information

Recent - Recent past performance shall be performance that is either on-going or was completed within three (3) years of the solicitation closing date.

Relevant - Relevancy is defined as follows:

Relevancy Ratings
Very Relevant The reference demonstrates experience with modular vault installation and certification to GSA standard AA-V-2737 under contract with federal, state or other government entities within the past three years

Relevant The reference demonstrates experience with modular vault installation or certification of modular vaults under contract with other than government entity within the past three years.
Semi-Relevant The reference demonstrates other vault installation or certification work, within the past three years.

Not Relevant None of the above.

Performance Ratings and Confidence Assessment. The following adjectival ratings shall be given to each of the Offeror's past performance references to rate the quality of the Offeror's performance for that reference. The Offeror shall then receive one rating as an overall confidence assessment describing how well the Offeror is expected to perform given the Offeror's performance history. More-recent and more-relevant past performance information shall have greater weight in the Offeror's overall confidence assessment relative to less-recent and less-relevant information.

Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Method - Adjectival Rating Description
Substantial Confidence - Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
Satisfactory Confidence - Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
Neutral Confidence - No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.
Limited Confidence - Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
No Confidence - Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
