The following clauses and provisions are incorporated by reference and are to remain in full force in any resultant purchase order. FAR 52.212-1, Instruction to Offerors-Commercial Items (Oct 2000) applies to this acquisition. The following paragraphs of this clause are addended as follows: (b)(4) Offeror shall include one (1) product sample of a textbook, student textbooks, and instructor materials written and published by the offeror in sufficient detail to evaluate offeror?s technical capability to satisfy this requirement and (b)(10) Offer shall include at least two (2) references for it?s most recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items, including contract number and point of contact, including telephone number. Submit signed and dated quotations with company name, address, phone number, email address and point of contact. Basis for award: This is a competitive best value source selection. Technical factors (adherence to SOW, sample, and delivery within 4-5 months after receipt of order (ARO) or earlier.) will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. Past and present performance will be evaluated on a basis approximately equal to price. An offeror?s proposed prices will be determined by adding the quantities identified in CLINs 0001 and 0002 to confirm the extended amount of each CLIN. CLINs 0001 and 0002 will be totaled to determine the overall price to be evaluated. The contracting officer shall seek performance information on the technically acceptable offerors based on the references provided by the offerors and data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offer?s ability to perform the effort described in this RFQ based on the offeror?s demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall confidence rating of the following: Exceptional/High Confidence: Based on the offeror's performance record, essentially no doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Very Good/Significant Confidence: Based on the offeror's performance record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Satisfactory/Confidence: Based on the offeror's performance record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Neutral/Unknown Confidence: No performance record identifiable (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii) and (iv)). Marginal/Little Confidence: Based on the offeror's performance record, substantial doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Changes to the offeror's existing processes may be necessary in order to achieve contract requirements. Unsatisfactory/No Confidence: Based on the offeror's performance record, extreme doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. The evaluation 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. Offerors with no relevant past performance information shall receive the rating of ?NEUTRAL? meaning the rating is treated neither favorable nor unfavorable. If the lowest price evaluated technically acceptable offer is judged to have an exceptional confidence rating, that offer represents the best value for the Government. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. The Government reserves the right to award a purchase order to other than the lowest evaluated price. In that event, the contracting officer shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information as specified in this RFQ. Offers may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information (PPI) to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse PPI is considered to be information resulting in an overall risk rating of unsatisfactory or marginal. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions. The Government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserve the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. The contractor must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Award will be made to a single source.
