The quoter shall specifically address their technical approach to perform each element identified under Part 5.0 Specific Tasks of the PWS.

Offerors are cautioned against restating PWS requirements in their proposal, particularly with regard to technical requirements; and must state how all requirements will be met. Statements such as "the offeror understands" and "the offeror shall/can comply", along with reference or industry references does not reflect that the offeror understands the requirements and will likely result in a diminished evaluation rating.

- FACTOR 2: Past Performance:

The Quoter shall use Attachment 2 (Past Performance Questionnaire) to provide completed references for two (2) projects where you have provided RECENT and RELEVANT performance of the same or similar services required in this solicitation within the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this RFQ.

(End of provision)

52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

(1) Technical Capability

(2) Past Performance

(3) Price

Technical Capability will be rated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis, and Past Performance will be more important than price.

(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.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services

The following is inserted as new paragraph (d) of the provision:

(d) EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Contract award shall be made on a “Past Performance Price Tradeoff” basis. This process allows for a tradeoff between past performance and price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced quote or other than the highest rated quote to achieve a best-value contract award. This may result in an award to a higher-rated, higher-priced quote if the Government determines that the past performance of the higher-priced quote outweighs the price difference. The selection process is subjective by nature and professional judgment is implicit throughout the tradeoff process.

The Quoter’s technical capability will be evaluated to determine if it is acceptable or unacceptable in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in this RFQ. If a Quoter’s technical capability is determined to be unacceptable, the Quoter will no longer be considered for award. Award will be made to the Quoter providing a quote that is deemed most advantageous to the Government, whose technical capability has been determined to be “Acceptable” and trading off past performance against price. Past performance is more important than price.

The Government intends to award based on initial quotes. Notwithstanding this intent, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to conduct exchanges if it is within the best interest of the Government, a matter within their discretion.

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY:

The Government will use the following ratings/descriptions in Table 1 when evaluating technical capability:

Table 1. Technical Capability Ratings

Rating

Description

Acceptable

Quote clearly demonstrates the Quoter’s technical capability to perform the required services in accordance with the Performance Work Statement.

Unacceptable

Quote does not clearly demonstrate the Quoter’s technical capability to perform the required services in accordance with the Performance Work Statement.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE:

The Government will evaluate past performance by reviewing the Quoter’s submitted past performance information and information from other sources that may include, but are not limited to, Government personnel and information retrieved through CPARS.

The past performance evaluation will result in an integrated assessment of the Quoter’s probability of successfully performing the RFQ requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each Quoter’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in performing services the same as or similar to the services specified in the PWS. The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Quoter’s performance. The past performance confidence assessment rating is based on the Quoter’s overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance. These are combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each Quoter.

The Government will use the following relevancy definitions in Table 2 when determining relevant past performance:

Table 2. Relevancy

Relevancy

Definition

Relevant

Past performance effort involved performance of services the same as or similar to the services specified in the PWS

Not Relevant

Past performance effort involved little or no performance of services the same as or similar to the services specified in the PWS.

The Government will use the following ratings/descriptions in Table 3 when evaluating past performance:

Table 3. Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings

Rating

Description

Substantial Confidence

Based on the Quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the Quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Quoter’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The Quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

Based on the Quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence

Based on the Quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

FACTOR 3: PRICE:

The Government will evaluate the quoted price for price reasonableness. The following price analysis techniques may be used to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

- Comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation.

- Comparison of quoted prices with the independent Government estimate.

- Comparison of quoted prices with available historical information.

The quoted price will be evaluated for the entire effort, inclusive of all options. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

Price must be determined fair and reasonable in order to be eligible for award. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. A price that is found to be unreasonably high may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in the overall quote not being considered for award.

(b) By submission of this offer, the offeror represents, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that all covered DoD officials employed by or otherwise receiving compensation from the offeror, and who are expected to undertake activities on behalf of the offeror for any resulting contract, are presently in compliance with all post-employment restrictions covered by 18 U.S.C. 207, 41 U.S.C. 2101-2107, and 5 CFR parts 2637 and 2641, including Federal Acquisition Regulation 3.104-2.

(End of provision)

L.[X].3 Use of Former DoD/Defense Health Agency (DHA) Employees and Uniformed

Service Members in Proposal Preparation. The involvement of a former DoD/DHA employee/member in an offeror’s proposal preparation may give rise to an unfair competitive advantage or the appearance thereof, if the former DoD/DHA employee/ member acquired non-public, competitively useful information in his or her former position. Such knowledge could include proprietary information of competitor’s performance on past or current contracts with similar requirements or source selection sensitive information pertaining to this procurement. Consequently, the Offeror must notify the Contracting Officer prior to the involvement in the proposal preparation by a former DoD/DHA employee/member reasonably expected to have had access to such information. Based on the notification, the Contracting Officer will make a determination whether involvement of the former DoD/DHA employee/member in proposal preparation could create an unfair competitive advantage or appearance thereof. The Contracting Officer will further determine whether any mitigation measures taken or proposed by the offeror are adequate to alleviate this concern or whether the offeror will be disqualified from the competition. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in the offeror’s disqualification for award.
