The following forms must be filled out and completed. a. SF1449 Solicitation FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the offeror responsible whose offering conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following technical factors shall be used to evaluate offers: • Past Performance • Management • Price Past performance and management, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. A price evaluation will be performed for all offerors and proposals will be ranked from lowest to highest price based on the Total Proposed Price (TPP) provided by the offeror on the price schedule sheet. Next, an evaluation of each factor and, subsequently, the overall proposal will be carried out beginning with the lowest priced proposal. Award will be made to the lowest evaluated priced proposal meeting the acceptability standards for the non-price factors. The Government intends to award a contract without conducting discussions; therefore, the initial proposal shall conform to the solicitation requirements and should contain the best offer from a technical and price range. Technical Factor 1 – Past Performance a. Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Offerors do not need to provide any information under this factor as the US Government will base the evaluation on all INTERIM and FINAL Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) that are recent and relevant. The CPARs will be retrieved from official US Government sources, including, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System and the Past Performance Information Retrieval System. b. Basis of Evaluation: Recency: For the purposes of this solicitation, a past performance record is recent if the CPAR final date of assessment listed in the “Period of Performance Being Assessed” block is within the 24-month period preceding the proposal due date. Relevancy: For the purposes of this solicitation, a past performance record is relevant if the CPAR business sector is listed as “Services”. In order to receive an "acceptable" rating for this factor, an Offer's recent and relevant CPARs must NOT include one or more INTERIM and/or FINAL CPARs with a rating of "UNSATISFACTORY" in one or more categories OR one or more INTERIM and/or FINAL CPARs with a rating of "MARGINAL" in two or more categories. If an Offeror has one or more CPARs with a rating of "UNSATISFACTORY" in one or more categories OR one or more CPARs with a rating of "MARGINAL" in two or more categories, the Offeror's past performance will be evaluated as "UNACCEPTABLE". In the case of an Offeror without a record of recent and 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 favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.” An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating for a single factor will result in the Offeror’s entire proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE”. Technical Factor 2 – Management a. Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Proposals, which merely offer a statement to conduct/provide service in accordance with the requirements in the Governments PWS, will not be eligible for award. The offeror must submit an explanation that identifies the offeror’s management capabilities and responsibilities to meet the deliverables in the scope of work. b. Basis of Evaluation: This factor will be evaluated as “ACCEPTABLE” if the explanation meets the requirement for management capabilities and responsibilities to meet the deliverables: Tour of Duty/Schedule, Description of Services, Contractor Responsibility and Personnel Requirements, which comply with the requirements outlined above, are submitted. If an explanation of one or more of the following: Tour of Duty/Schedule, Description of Services, Contractor Responsibility and Personnel Requirements and/or do not comply with the requirements, this factor will receive an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating. Technical Factor 3 – Price a. Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Completed Price Schedule Sheet. b. Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate price based on the total proposed price calculated as the sum of bid for the five-year ordering period that includes Contract cost, Subcontractor cost (if applicable), Overhead and Profit. Analysis will be conducted by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price: (i) Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP. (ii) Comparison of proposed prices with the IGCE. (iii) Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information. Note: A price that is found to be either unreasonably high or unrealistically low in relation to the proposed work may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in the overall proposal being considered unacceptable.
