FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items is applicable to this procurement.



(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and non-price factor(s) considered. Award will be made to the vendor whose proposal represents the best value to the Government. The following factors shall be considered for evaluation:

(i) Factor I: Technical Capability.

(ii) Factor II: Past Performance.

(iii) Factor III: Price.



Evaluation and Award Determination. The Navy will consider all proposals starting from the lowest total priced submission. The Government reserves the right to evaluate the next lowest total priced submission until it has determined an acceptable proposal.

The evaluation will stop at such point when the Government has determined that a proposal is technically acceptable with the lowest evaluated total price. Contingent upon a determination of contractor responsibility, award will be made to that offeror without further evaluation of other proposals. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose proposal is accepted as the lowest priced technically acceptable.



The Government intends to conduct the source selection on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation using “Acceptable or Unacceptable” rating scheme. A finding of “Unacceptable” on Factor I Technical Capability will render the entire proposal being determined as “Unacceptable.”



Factor I: Technical Capability.

The Government will evaluate offeror’s technical capability on “Acceptable or Unacceptable” basis, which represents the minimum acceptable criteria. The offeror must demonstrate a clear understanding of the Government’s requirements and ability to perform the requirements in section “2. Qualifications/Certifications Requirements” and section “3. Tasks” of the performance work statement (PWS). Failure to meet the minimum criteria will render the proposal to be technically unacceptable.



Factor II: Past Performance (PP). The Government will evaluate Offeror’s relevant PP from information provided (use attachment 2) and/or from the Government Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

Relevant PP will be evaluated based on similarity of work, service provided, complexity, dollar value, contract type, magnitude and degree of subcontract/teaming of recent PP when compared to the requirements of this solicitation/PWS. Recent PP means relevant PP performed no more than three years from 21 September 2015. Each offeror shall demonstrate relevant PP or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant PP. PP will be rated on an “Acceptable or Unacceptable” basis using the following rating and description:



Rating: Acceptable

Description: 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.

(See note below).



Rating: Unacceptable

Description: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.



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 favorable or unfavorable on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”



Factor III: Price.

A FFP contract will be made to the offeror whose proposal is determined to be the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal. Price analysis will be used to support fair and reasonable price determination.

(b) The Contractor shall notify employees that the prohibitions and restrictions of any internal confidentiality agreements covered by this clause are no longer in effect.



(c) The prohibition in paragraph (a) of this clause does not contravene requirements applicable to Standard Form 312, Form 4414, or any other form issued by a Federal department or agency governing the nondisclosure of classified information.



(d)(1) In accordance with section 743 of Division E, Title VIII, of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Resolution Appropriations Act, 2015, (Pub.

L. 113-235), use of funds appropriated (or otherwise made available) under that or any other Act may be prohibited, if the Government determines that the Contractor is not in compliance with the provisions of this clause.
