SECTION L – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS OR RESPONDENTS SECTION L is Attachment 2 SECTION M – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999) (a) This acquisition will utilize the Technically Acceptable-Performance/Price Tradeoff (TA-PPT) source selection procedure to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision. The NAVAIDS need to be compatible in performance and data protocol with CLIN 0001 through 0007. A decision on the technical acceptability of each offeror’s proposal will be made. Meeting the schedule requirements is one of main the determining factors for contact award. For those offerors who are determined to be technically acceptable, tradeoffs will be made between past performance and price. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the tradeoff process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the selection process. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to all solicitation requirements, such as schedule, place of delivery, terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those included in paragraph (b)(1) below. (b) The TA-PPT evaluation process will be accomplished as follows: (1) Technical. Each offeror’s technical proposal will be evaluated to determine if the offeror provides a sound, compliant approach to meeting the government’s minimum requirements as described in the Schedule of Supplies. Offeror’s proposals meeting the government’s minimum requirements will determined to be technically “acceptable”. The equipment needs to be standardized across the system for logistical, training, spare parts requirements and to enable it to be able to transmit data back to the ACC in Baghdad. Installation of the NAVAIDs requires that these systems be compatible in performance and data protocol to the systems at Baghdad. (2) Performance. For technically acceptable proposals, the past performance assessment will assess the confidence in the offeror’s ability (which includes, if applicable, the extent of its critical subcontractors’ or teaming partners’ involvement) to successfully accomplish the proposed effort based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past work record. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and services that meet users’ needs including cost and schedule. The currency 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. The Government will perform an independent determination of relevancy of the data provided or obtained. A relevancy determination of the offeror’s present/past performance (which includes, if applicable, the extent of its critical subcontractors’ or teaming partners’ involvement) will be made. The Government is not bound by the offeror’s opinion of relevancy. The Government may consider an offeror’s contracts in the aggregate in determining relevancy, should the offeror’s present and past performance lend itself to this approach. For example, an offeror’s work experience on three contracts may, by definition, represent only a semi-relevant effort when each contract is considered as a stand-alone effort. However, when these contracts are performed concurrently (in part or in whole) and are assessed in the aggregate, the work may more accurately reflect a very relevant effort. The following relevancy criteria apply: • VERY RELEVANT: Present/past performance programs involved the magnitude of effort and complexities which are essentially what this solicitation requires. • RELEVANT: Present/past performance programs involved less magnitude of effort and complexities, including most of what this solicitation requires. • SEMI-RELEVANT: Present/past performance programs involved much less magnitude of effort and complexities, including some of what this solicitation requires. • NOT RELEVANT: Did not involve any significant aspects of above. In assessing present and past performance, the Government will employ several approaches, including, but not limited to: (i). Information utilized may be obtained from the references listed in the proposal, as well as from other sources known to the Government. Data from previous source selections may be used if the data is recent and relevant. Evaluation of present and past performance will include consideration of overall customer satisfaction and conclusions of informed judgment. (ii). Offerors will be given an opportunity to address adverse past performance information if the offeror has not had a previous opportunity to respond to the information. Recent contracts will be examined to ensure that corrective measures have been implemented. The confidence assessment will consider issues including, but not limited to, the number and severity of the problems, the appropriateness and/or effectiveness of any corrective actions taken (not just planned or promised), and the offeror’s overall work record. Prompt corrective action in isolated instances may not outweigh overall negative trends. (iii). Past performance information will also be considered regarding any critical subcontractors and key personnel. If an offeror, or the proposed key employees of the offeror, do not have a past performance history deemed relevant to this solicitation, the offeror will receive a neutral confidence rating. The neutral confidence rating will be considered in the overall assessment for a best value decision. (iv) An overall confidence assessment rating will be made. The following confidence assessment ratings apply: Rating Definition Blue Based on the offerors record of performance there is exceptional/high confidence that they will perform successfully on this contract. Green Based on the offerors record of performance there is very good/significant confidence that they will perform successfully on this contract. Yellow Based on the offeror’s record of performance there is satisfactory/confidence that they will perform successfully on this contract. Grey Based on the offeror’s record of performance there is neutral/unknown confidence that they will perform successfully on this contract. Black Based on the offeror’s record of performance there is marginal/little confidence that they will perform successfully on this contract. Red Based on the offerors record of performance there is unsatisfactory/no confidence that they will perform successfully on this contract. (3) Price. (a) IAW FAR Part 15.305 (a)(1) Cost or Price Evaluation, this competitive procurement will establish the basis for price reasonableness. (b) Total evaluated price, for award purposes, will be based upon the total price proposed (b) 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. (End of Provision) Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items with its offer. The provision is attached. The clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Items, as augmented by the Department of Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) applies to this acquisition.
