Commander, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet (CNSP) has identified that the imperative of alignment is not adequately or effectively measured, and that a need exists to develop a measurement and tracking system to effectively measure organizational alignment. "[Alignment] involves a couple of things. First, we must ensure that our organizations, systems, and processes are aligned to deliver exactly what they are designed to produce ? a combat-capable Navy, ready to sail into harm's way. Second, alignment involves clear communication, from the recruiter, to the LPO to the CO to the CNO. It's about communicating realistic expectations and then helping Sailors accomplish realistic goals ? in a word, credibility."

Commercial Items. The government intends to make a single award to the responsible offeror whose offer is the most advantageous to the government considering the evaluation criteria and price. EVALUATION CRITERIA 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 following factors shall be used to evaluate offers. (I) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY OF PROPOSED TO MEET AND UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENT (ii) EXPERIENCE/PAST PERFORMANCE (iii) PRICE At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the Offeror's b est terms from both a price and technical standpoint. Offerors' proposals will be evaluated first under Factor (i) above, to determine if offerors understand and will be able to meet the requirements of the Statement of Work. Under this factor, proposal will be determined to be either technically acceptable or unacceptable. Failure to meet this factor will render the offer to be technically unacceptable and will not be considered for award. See paragraph (b) below. Only those Offers which meet the technical requirements required by Factor (i) will be further evaluated under Factors (ii) and (iii). In the second step of evaluating those offers determined under Factor (i) to be technically acceptable, Factor (ii) is equal to Factor (iii), PRICE. Offeror's PAST PERFORMANCE information submitted as required by FAR Clause 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS - COMME RCIAL ITEMS , Subparagraph (b)(10), will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance for up to three prior similar contracts performed within the past three years. PAST PERFORMANCE information should be provided on the form provided as an attachment to this solicitation. Information utilized will be obtained from these references as well as any other sources that may have relevant information. Offers which lack relevant past performance history will receive a neutral rating for this factor. Any Offeror's proposal which has no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposals of other offerors. The Contracting Officer will evaluate Offeror's PAST PERFORMANCE as follows: NEUTRAL: No relevant past performance available for evaluation. Offeror has asserted that it has no relevant directly related or similar past performance experience. Proposal receives no merit or demerit for this factor. OUTSTANDING: No risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of any degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon offeror's past performance. SATISFACTORY: Very little risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon the offeror's past performance. MARGINAL: Significant potential risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, and of degradation of performance based upon the offeror's past performance. 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.
