Offerors are required only to price the base and option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods), utilizing the rates of that performance period.

In the event of an unacceptable Past Performance evaluation rating for an otherwise Technically Acceptable low price offeror, the Small Business Administration (SBA) will be contacted for a Certificate of Competency (COC) determination in accordance with procedures in FAR 19.601. In the event an offeror receives a rating of quote mark Unacceptable quote mark for both the Technical Acceptability Factor and Past Performance Factor, a COC determination will not be requested as the offeror would remain quote mark Unacceptable quote mark based on the evaluation of the Technical Acceptability Factor.

Discussions or Negotiations: The offeror's initial offer should contain its best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Discussions, if any, will be conducted in accordance with FAR 12.602 and final offers will be evaluated in accordance with factors as were initial offers.

Award for All of the Work: The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers received with less than the stated number of items listed in the Bid Schedule will be considered non- responsive and therefore, not considered for award.

Evaluation Criteria.

(1) Evaluation criteria consist of factors and elements as listed below. Offers will be evaluated under three (3) evaluation factors:

Factor I: Technical Capability
1. Acceptability Standard 1: Experience
2. Acceptability Standard 2: Capability

Factor II: Past Performance
Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. In evaluating Past Performance, Quality of Services, Timeliness of Performance, and Business Relations will be evaluated.

Factor III: Price

Factor I: Technical Acceptability: The Technical Acceptability Factor evaluation provides an assessment of the offeror's capability to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements.

Acceptability Standard 1: Equipment Offerings: Offeror provides evidence that provided equipment is in compliance with paragraphs 4.2; 4.2.1; 4.2.2; 4.2.3; 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 of the PWS. Offeror shall provide sufficient descriptive literature so that the Government may determine that the offeror products meet the salient characteristics listed in the aforementioned PWS paragraphs. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the offer.

Acceptability Standard 2: Experience: The offeror demonstrates experience in providing the washers and dryers required along with outlined services as described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The offeror shall submit a list of recent (within the past 5 years) and relevant contracts/subcontracts that demonstrate an ability to perform the work described in the solicitation.

The Technical Acceptability Factor will receive one (1) of the adjectival ratings defined below. The individual standards will not receive an adjectival rating.

Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings
Rating Description
Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(2) Factor II: Past Performance: The offeror shall submit a list of recent and relevant past contracts/subcontracts as defined below. The past performance evaluation will assess the offeror's probability of meeting the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. Past Performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror's recent past performance and focusing on past performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's submission and data obtained from other sources, such as the Contractor Past Performance Reporting System (CPARS), Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems and State Department Watch Lists.

There is no minimum or maximum number of references required; however, the offeror shall submit sufficient past performance information to demonstrate the depth and breadth to successfully satisfy all areas of the proposed effort. It is incumbent upon the contractor to present the past performance information in such a manner and in sufficient detail to ensure the Government clearly understands the information provided.

Each offeror will receive a past performance rating of acceptable or unacceptable based on the Offeror's recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements.

Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

Relevancy Assessment: To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity. The Government will conduct an in depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. A relevancy determination of the offeror's (including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)) past performance will be made. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror's contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. The past performance information provided in the offer and obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to past performance rating.

The Past Performance Factor will receive one (1) of the adjectival ratings defined below.

Table 2: Past Performance Evaluation Ratings
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.
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.


Offerors 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, 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, quote mark unknown quote mark shall be considered acceptable.

(3) Factor III: Price: The Price factor will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b). Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete and balanced.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's total price, to include the base period, first option period, second option period, and one-half of the second option period, using price analysis techniques (See FAR Clause 52.217-8). Pricing must be provided for all line items in order for an offeror to be considered for award. Those offerors not providing pricing for all line items will be removed from consideration for award. The Government will award a single contract to the offeror whose offer represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offer.

Unbalanced Pricing. Unbalanced pricing may be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk which could result in unreasonably high prices.
