2. RFO Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Feb 2026) (Deviation 2026-O0038) applies to this acquisition, and the following addendum is applicable for evaluation procedures and determining the basis for award:
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.The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers in the relative order of importance:
Technical capability and past performance when combined are significantly more Important than price.
c. Price – The Government will first evaluate and arrange each offer according to price, from lowest priced offer to the highest priced offer. To determine price, offerors shall complete the following:
The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. This includes standard option periods (e.g., FAR 52.217-9) and the potential six-month extension of services under FAR 52.217-8. The Government will determine a Total Evaluated Price (TEP) to determine price reasonableness and for selection purposes. The TEP will be calculated as the sum of the following:
The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options, including the potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). If the Government chooses to exercise the FAR 52.217-8 option during contract performance, it will be executed at the exact rates proposed for the performance period that is being extended.
d. Technical Capability – Offers will then be evaluated for technical capability starting with the lowest priced offer. Technical capability is evaluated as pass/fail. To receive a rating of "Pass," the offerors quote must demonstrate that it meets all minimum requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and this RFQ. Any offer that fails to meet any of these minimum requirements will be rated "Fail" and will not be considered for award.
If the lowest-priced offer passes the technical evaluation criteria, the technical evaluation process stops at this point without further consideration of any other offers. The technically capable offeror will then proceed to the past performance evaluation. In the event the lowest priced offeror does not pass the technical evaluation, the evaluation process will continue with the next lowest priced offer until an offeror receives a passed technical evaluation rating or all offers are evaluated.
To be deemed technically capable, offerors must submit documentation demonstrating compliance with the following minimum requirements as listed below:
e. Past Performance – Lastly, the government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror's performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this solicitation. Of the offers, having passed the technical evaluation, the government will begin evaluating past performance starting with the lowest priced offeror. The Contracting Officer shall seek recent and relevant performance information on offerors based on the past efforts provided by the offeror and data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. Evaluation of the offerors past performance is subjective and will result in a rating of (See table below) Substantial, Satisfactory, Neutral, Limited, or No Confidence. Offerors who do not have recent and relevant past performance relating to this requirement will receive a rating of Neutral Confidence.
Substantial Confidence: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.
Satisfactory Confidence: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.
Neutral Confidence: No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse, no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.
Limited Confidence: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.
No Confidence: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.
The Government will evaluate past performance for recency and relevancy. Recency is defined as performance of similar services within the past three (3) years from the issue date of the solicitation. Relevancy is defined as services of the same magnitude such as number of vessels and/or similar dollar value, and where the services provided include Coxswain Certification and/or Outboard Engine Maintenance Certification, vessel maneuvering, performing preventive maintenance as described in the solicitation PWS, and repairs to vessels, boat engines, and generators. The evaluation of past performance will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. Any offer that fails to have past performance that is not similar in scope and complexity to the requirement will be determined not relevant for the purpose of evaluations.
If the lowest priced offer, having passed the technical evaluation receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point; an award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. In the event the lowest priced offeror, having passed the technical evaluation does not receive a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the evaluation process will continue with the next lowest priced offeror until an offeror receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating or all offers are evaluated. In the event that an offeror, other than the lowest priced offeror who passed the technical evaluation, receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the Contracting Officer will perform an integrated best value evaluation to determine the eventual awardee. The Government reserves the right to award to a Substantial Performance Confidence Rated offeror, and reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced offeror.
The Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges and/or discussions with one, some, all, or none of the responding offerors. If interchanges and/or discussions are conducted, final quote revisions will be required in determining the award of the contract resulting from this solicitation. However, the government reserves the right to award a contract without discussions or opportunity for quote revisions, in which case, a final quote revision will not be required.
3. This acquisition is not subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA) or any Free Trade Agreements.
4. All responsible sources may submit a quotation, which will be considered by the agency.
