greater predictor of success than outsourcing.
5. The Government determines which information is relevant for evaluation purposes, though the Offeror may highlight those efforts it feels are most similar in scope and magnitude of effort and complexities to the requirements of this solicitation.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
252.204-7024 - Notice on the Use of the Supplier Performance Risk System (MAR 2023)
EVALUATION FOR AWARD
Basis for Contract Award - This is a best value negotiated acquisition conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense FederalAcquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). The Government may
award the contract to an offeror that does not offer the lowest price. Selection decisions consider an evaluation of the factors indicated above using an adjectival rating system that grades an offeror's non-price factors. Price will be evaluated, but not
adjectivally rated.
The Government will perform an initial assessment of the Offerors proposals agaainst the submittal requirements of Section L �instructions to offerors�. Failure to submit the required documentation in theformat specified in Section L of this solicitation may
render the Offerors proposal unevaluatable and the proposal will be eliminated from the competition without further consideration.
Responsibility: Pursuant to FAR 9.103, the Contracting Officer will award all contracts to the contractor(s) he or she deems a responsible contractor. Separate from the best value source selection criteria,each Offeror must be able to demonstrate it meets the
standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104.
(a) The Government reserves the right to conduct a pre-award survey on any Offerors considered for award, to assist in the Contracting Officers determination of Contractor responsibility. The Contracting Officer may also either make a responsibility determination
without requesting any information from an Offeror or require theOfferor provide information to substantiate that it satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104-1. The Contracting Officer considers an Offerors ability to respond too his or her r
request(s) for information promptly as an indication of the Offerorss level of responsibility.
(b) Nothing in this provision limits the Contracting Officers discretion to rel(e.g., past performance databases, discussions with other entities familiar witin FAR 9.1 when determining whether the Offeror satisfies the FAR 9.104-1 general responsibility
standards.
All evaluation factors other than price when combined are significantly more important than price. There is one non-price factor: past performance. Within the non-price factors, the past performance factor is the most important. The Government reserves the right
to make the award to an Offeror other than the Offeror that submits the lowest overall evaluated price, using a Best Value trade-off analysis method of procurement. Offerors must receive a rating of Acceptable or better on all factors to be eligible for award.
Evaluation criteria consists of the following factors:
FACTOR 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE
The Government considers past performance information a predictor of future contract performance. The Government bases its degreeof confidence it has that the offeror will successfully complete the requirements in accordance with the contract terms on the
offeror's demonstrated record of recent and relevant performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officerss responsibility determination. Assessment of the offerors past performance transslates a means of evaluating the relative
capability ofthe offeror(s) to achieve the RFPs requirements.
The Government may consider the recency, degree of relevance, quality, source, and context of the past performance information it evaluates as well as general trends in performance, and demonstrated correctiveactions. A significant achievement, problem, problem
resolution, or lack of relevant data can become an important consideration in the assessment process. A negative finding may result in a lower past performance confidence assessment rating.
Absent any recent and relevant past performance history, the Government assignsan Unknown Confidence (Neutral) Past Performance rating to the offeror. Without past performance information, the Government does not consider the offerors pastt performance favorably
or unfavorably.
The Government may use information obtained from other sources to conduct past performance evaluation, or it may use information with regard to other contracts performed by the offeror of which it has knowledge, whether or not those contracts are disclosed to
theGovernment by the offeror.
The Government will rate each offeror on its recent and relevant contractual information. The definitions for recent and relevant are provided in Section L of the solicitation. The Government will assign a relevant rating in accordance with the below table.
Recency Assessment:
The Government will conduct an assessment of the past performance information to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be on-going with at least six (6) months of performance history or must have been performed during the past three (3) years
preceding the issuance date of this solicitation. For contracts that began morethan three years before the date of solicitation issuance, only the year(s) that were partially or completely performed in those three years will be evaluated as recent. Past
performance information that fails this condition will not be further evaluated.
Relevancy Ratings:
Relevancy of the past performance information will be determined as follows:
Adjectival Rating - Description
Very Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation require.
Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Somewhat Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Not Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Only information determined to be relevant (any level of relevancy) and meeting the standard for recent as defined in Section L will be further considered in the past performance evaluation.
Performance Confidence Assessment:
The Government will assess how well the offeror performed on recent and relevant contracting efforts. The Government will use information presented in the offerors Past Performance proposal volume in addittion to information independently obtained from outside
sources,to include assessment reports, databases, interviews, and other sources. The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the offeror's performance, general trends, and usefulness of
the information and incorporate these into the performance confidence assessment. An overall Past Peformance rating will be assigned according to the table below.
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.

Code 6: Part redesigned - Parts not interchangeable.
3.4 Mercury Free - The material supplied under this contract/purchase order is intended for use on submarines/surface ships and therefore shall contain no metallic mercury and shall be free from mercury contamination. Mercury contamination of the material
will be cause for rejection.
If the inclusion of metallic mercury is required as a functional part of the material furnished under this contract, the Contractor shall obtain written approval from the Procurement Contracting Officer before proceeding with manufacture. The
contractor's request shall explain in detail the requirements for mercury, identify specifically the parts to contain mercury, and explain the method of protection against mercury escape. Such a request will be forwarded directly to the Procurement Contracting
Officer with a copy to the applicable Government Inspector. Upon approval by the Contracting Officer, the vendor will provide a "Warning Plate" stating that metallic mercury is a functional part of the item and will include name and location of that part.
The use of mercury, mercury compounds, or mercury-bearing instruments and/or equipment in a manner which might cause contamination in the manufacture, assembly, or test of material on this contract is prohibited. The most probable causes of
contamination are direct-connected manometers, mercury vacuum pumps, mercury seals, or the handling of mercury in the immediate vicinity. Mercury switches, mercury in glass thermometers, standard cells and other items containing mercury may be used if they are
located so as not to constitute a contamination hazard.
If external contamination by metallic mercury occurs or is suspected, the following test may be used to determine whether contamination by metallic mercury exists or whether corrective cleaning measures have been effective. Enclose the equipment in a
polyethylene bag or close-fitting airtight container for eight hours at room temperature (70 degrees F minimum).Sample the trapped air and if mercury vapor concentration is 0.01 mg/cu meter or more, the material is mercury contaminated insofar as the
requirements of this contract are concerned.
These requirements shall be included in any subcontract or purchase order hereunder and the Contractor shall insure SubContractor compliance with these requirements.
Technical questions pertaining to these requirements shall be referred to the Procurement Contracting Officer via the cognizant Administrative Contracting Officer. For background, the following information is provided:
Mercury is corrosive to gold, silver, nickel, stainless steels, aluminum and copper alloys. Stainless steels, nickel, and copper alloys are widely used in reactor plants and other submarine/surface ship systems. Accidental trapping of mercury in a
component could cause serious damage to vital parts. Mercury is also toxic if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. It is evident that grave consequences could result from small amounts of mercury vapor present in an unreplenished submarine/surface
ship atmosphere.
