BASIS OF AWARD- EVALUATION

1. Basis for Contract Award – Evaluation of Offers-Simplified Acquisition Procedures

(a) Basis for Contract Award. In accordance with the procedures at RFO FAR 12 streamlined procedures for solicitation, evaluation, and award. It is the Government’s intent to award a single, direct award of a firm-fixed price contract. 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. The offeror must satisfy the requirements described in the evaluation criteria, as well as all other RFQ requirements. The Government may perform a comparative evaluation (comparing offers to each other) to select the contractor that is best suited and provides the best value, considering the evaluation factors in this solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers.

(i) Technical

(ii) Past Performance

(iii) Price

(b) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier’s quotation does not establish a contract. A written notice of award or purchase order, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.

2. Quote Evaluation: The evaluation process will be accomplished as follows (Organized by Volume):

Volume I, Technical

 

1. Technical Evaluation. Technical Capability will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis utilizing the product specifications provided to the Government. To be determined Technically Acceptable, the offerors quoted product must meet all requirements and characteristics as stated in this solicitation. An offeror shall obtain an “Acceptable” rating to continue further in the competition. Offerors who are deemed to merit an “Unacceptable” rating in the Technical Capability Factor will be removed from further consideration for award. Once the minimum requirements are established, the team shall evaluate the offeror's quote against these requirements to determine whether the quote is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined herein. Quotes are evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked using the non-price factors/subfactors. In order to be considered awardable, there must be an "acceptable" rating in every non-price factor/subfactor.

C. Volume II, Past Performance Factor

 

1. General: The past performance assessment will assess the prime’s (hereafter referred to as quoter’s) ability to successfully accomplish the proposed effort based on the quoter’s demonstrated present and past work record. The Government will evaluate the quoter’s demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and services that meet users’ needs, including cost and schedule. The recency and relevancy of the information, the source of the information, context of the data and general trends in the contractor’s performance will be considered.

First, we will evaluate recency. For purposes of this evaluation, recency is defined as demonstrated experience (active or completed efforts) performed within the past three (3) years from the issuance date of this solicitation. Second, we will evaluate recent contracts for relevancy as described below. Third, we will evaluate relevant contracts for overall quality.

The evaluation of the quoter’s (including partnerships and joint venture) present/past performance WILL NOT include the present/past performance of any subcontractors, predecessor companies, affiliates, other divisions or corporate management even though they may perform major or critical aspects of this requirement. Only the quoter's past performance will be evaluated.

 

2. Past Performance Assessment: Present and Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which you have satisfied your customers in the past and complied with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Your past performance is relevant to this competition when you have done recent work that has confronted you with the same kinds of challenges that you would reasonably expect to encounter during performance of the contract described by the RFQ. We will assess your past performance on the basis of recency, relevancy, and quality (general trends in contractor performance and source of information). Past performance information may be obtained from any sources available to the Government.

 

3. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings:

 

a) As a result of the recency and relevancy assessments of current and prior contracts, a relevancy rating described below will be assigned within the past performance evaluation.

Table 1

Adjectival Rating

Description

Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved similar 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.

Scope = Product Type, Type of Work, Functions, Skill Mix and/or Labor Classifications, etc.

Magnitude of effort = Dollar Value and Period of Performance

Complexities = Contract Type (e.g., Indefinite Delivery Contract, Firm-Fixed-Price, FAR-based, Other Government Transaction, UCC), Location (on-base, off-base, geographical), Terms and Conditions (e.g., private, Federal, DoD, Army, National Guard Bureau), etc.

Table 2

Adjectival Rating

Description

Acceptable

Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable

Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

D. Volume III, Quote

 

1. General: We will determine the merits of your quote on the basis of (a) its acceptability and (b) its total quoted price.

 

(a) Acceptability: We will determine the acceptability of your quote on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. We will consider your quote acceptable if it (i) conforms to the material solicitation requirements; (ii) manifests your unconditional assent to the terms of this Request for Quote (RFQ), and (iii) you are a responsible prospective contractor pursuant to RFO FAR 9.104-1. (NOTE: By submission of a quote, the quoter represents that it unconditionally assents to the terms of this Request for Quote, except for any written express exceptions.)

(i) Conformance. Material solicitation requirements include those terms affecting quality, quantity, price, or delivery.
 
 (ii) Assent. If you (1) take exception to any term of this RFQ, (2) propose any additional terms, or (3) omit material information required by this RFQ then we will consider your quote to be unacceptable and ineligible for contract award.

 

(b) Price: We will evaluate your price for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with RFO FAR 12.204.

E. Compliance and Responsibility:

1. Compliance and Responsibility Information: Prior to the evaluation of quotes, Annual

Representations and Certifications, Offeror Representations, Certifications, and the Submission of Other Information completed via the System for Award Management (https://www.sam.gov) will be assessed for compliance with requirements applicable to this RFQ. Quotes found to not be in compliance with these requirements may be determined ineligible for award.

2. REJECTION OF OFFERS: Offerors shall carefully read, understand, and provide all the information requested in the quote. If there are parts of the RFQ that are vague and/or ambiguous, request clarification from the Contract Specialist and/or the Contracting Officer before the established cut-off date for questions. The circumstances that may lead to the rejection of a quote are:

2.1.        When the quote fails to meaningfully respond to the instructions specified. Examples of failure to                 meaningfully respond include:

2.1.1 When the Government is evaluating an Offeror’s product specifications and a quote merely repeats the requirements without elaboration or fails to present more than a statement indicating its capability to comply with the RFQ terms and does not provide, support, or detail how they will perform.

2.1.2 When the quote fails to provide any of the data and information required in the RFQ.

2.2 When the quote reflects an inherent lack of technical competence or a failure to comprehend the complexity and risks required to perform the RFQ requirements due to submission of a quote, which is substantially high or low in Price and/or unachievable in terms of technical or schedule commitments.

2.3 When the quote contains major error(s), omission(s) and or deficiencies that indicate a lack of understanding or an approach that cannot be expected to meet requirements or involves a very high risk and none of these conditions can be corrected without major rewrites or revisions of the quote.

2.4 When the quote offers a product that does not meet all stated material requirements of the RFQ.

2.5 When the quote is late, in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(c) and the Electronic Submission Instructions herein.

2.6 When the quote is significantly high or low as to cost or price, or is unaffordable to the government.

2.7 When the quote is not in full compliance with the terms and conditions of the RFQ.

List of Attachments:

Attachment 1: Clauses and Provisions

NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum.

Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods as if filed at the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency’s Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG protest procedures.

To be timely, the protests must be filed with the periods specified in FAR 33.103. To file a protest under the NG Agency Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below:

National Guard Bureau

Office of the Director of Acquisitions/ Head of Contracting Activity

ATTN: NGB-AQ-O

111 S. George Mason Dr. Arlington, VA 22204

Email: ng.ncr.ngb-arng.mbx.ngb-task-order-ombudsman@army.mil

All other agency-level protests should be sent to the Contracting Officer for resolution at the address in the solicitation. See FAR clause 52.233-2.
