RYG is authorized by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) for use in the acquisition of supplies and services used to build, maintain, and operate the Fleet. (b)The Government reserves the right to award to the supplier whose quote represents the best value to the Government. As such, the basis for award will include an evaluation of each suppliers past performance history for the Federal Supply Class(s) or Service Code(s) (FSCs) of the supplies and services being purchased. The price to be considered in determining best value will be the evaluated price after application of Technical Evaluation Adjustments (TEAs). (c)The procedures described in the clause entitled, Additional Evaluation Factor for Consideration of Past Performance Navy Red/Yellow/Green Program (APR 1999), will be used to assist in determining the best value for the Government. SUP 5252.213-9402ADDITIONAL EVALUATION FACTOR FOR CONSIDERATIONOF PAST PERFORMANCE-NAVY RED/YELLOW/GREEN PROGRAM (APR 1999) (a)This procurement is subject to the Navys Red/Yellow/Green (RYG) Program, authorized by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) for use by participating activities during the acquisition of supplies and services used to build, maintain, and operate the Fleet. (b)The purpose of RYG is to assist contracting personnel during source selection to determine the best value for the Government. The program uses accumulated supplier past performance data to classify each suppliers performance by Federal Supply Class (es) or Service Code(s) (FSCs) as either red (high risk), yellow (moderate risk), green (low risk) or neutral (no risk established). (c)To assist in source selection a monetary assessment in the form of a Technical Evaluation Adjustment (TEA) is added to each suppliers quote having a red or yellow classification for the FSC involved. The dollar amount of the red or yellow TEA assessment is based on the cost to the Government of effecting additional actions required to assure performance by a supplier with an unsatisfactory performance history for the FSCs involved. No TEA is assessed for a supplier having either a green or a neutral FSC RYG classification. For purposes of the RYG program, a neutral classification is assigned to suppliers who are first time quoters to the Government for the FSC(s) involved, suppliers otherwise having no past performance data in the RYG database for the FSC(s) involved, and suppliers whose past performance data in the RYG database for the FSC(s) involved are over three years old. After consideration of any other pertinent, price-related factors (e.g., transportation charges, first article testing, discount terms), the adjusted price becomes the basis for determining award. A suppliers FSC RYG classification may change over time as new or revised performance data becomes available. (d)RYG classifications are summarized as follows: (1) Green is low risk. No performance assurance actions are considered necessary. No TEA will be assessed. (2) Yellow is moderate risk. Additional performance assuring actions are considered necessary. A TEA will be applied to the prospective suppliers price to reflect the Governments estimated additional costs. (3) Red is high risk. Significant additional performance assurance requirements are considered necessary. A TEA will be applied to the prospective suppliers price to reflect the Governments estimated additional costs. (4) Neutral is no risk established. No TEA is assessed; nevertheless, additional performance assurance requirements may be considered necessary to assure quality and on-time delivery. (e)RYG classifications for all applicable FSC(s) are established monthly for each supplier and provided to them. Suppliers may address questions about the program or their FSC RYG classifications to the Naval Sea Systems Logistics Center (NLSC), Portsmouth Detachment, Federal Building, Room 400, 80 Daniel Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801-3884, telephone (603) 431-9460, ext. 464, FAX 603-431-9464. Suppliers may also access their individual FSC RYG classifications through the automated vendor access program. To obtain automated access, written request must be submitted on company letterhead to NLSC at the above address. The request must include the requesters name, title, company name, address, telephone number and Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) code. The CAGE code is mandatory.
