(vii) Specific delivery dates will be designated in each delivery order issued hereunder. (viii) The selected Offeror must comply with the following commercial item terms and conditions. FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial, applies to this acquisition. In addition to the instruction in this clause, Offerors must submit the following proposal content: Statement of Compliance: The offer shall include a statement indicating complete compliance with the solicitation, or detailed analysis of any objections, exceptions, contingencies, or additions. Any objection, exception, contingency, or addition shall be cross-referenced to the applicable solicitation paragraph(s). Technical: The Offeror shall provide product literature, specification information cross-indexed to applicable parts of the SOW and warrantly provisions. The Offerors proposal shall clearly demonstrate its ability to meet or exceed the SOW specifications and identify all systems with which the sensors are compatible. The proposal must also demonstrate the ability to perform engineering support. Statements that the Offeror understands and will meet the SOW requirements are inadequate. Paraphrasing or reiteration of the SOW or parts thereof is similarly inadequate, as are phrases such as standard procedures will be employed or well-known techniques will be used. Past Performance: The Offeror shall submit a list of up to five (5) contracts awarded where the Offeror has previously provided the same equipment This section shall contain; model number, quantity sold, delivery schedule of previous contracts, and evidence of the products ability to interoperate with external systems. Include the names of the Procuring Contracting Officer and Contracting Officers Representative along with their telephone numbers. Price: Offerors shall provide completed pricing for CLINS 0001, 0005, 0010 and 0015. (ix) The award will be made on the basis of best value, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance and Price. Technical is significantly more important than Past Performance. Past Performance is significantly more important than Price. The combination of non-priced factors is significantly more important than Price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than Satisfactory must be achieved for Technical. The degree of importance allocated to the Price will increase as the Offerors proposals become more equal in the other evaluation areas. Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the Offeror with the lowest price. All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel. Support contractors will not participate as members of or advisors to the source selection team. 1. TECHNICAL EVALUATION APPROACH. The evaluation process will consider the following: a. The products ability to meet or exceed the SOW specifications. b. The Offeror identifying all systems in which the GC/MS and MS/MS are compatible with. c. The Offerors ability to provide engineering support. 2. PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION APPROACH. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an Offerors likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that Offerors record of past performance. a. The Government will conduct a past performance assessment based on the Offerors ability to meet the specifications set forth in the SOW. Areas of relevance will include if the Offeror has past performance of similar contracts to that which is detailed in the RFP. When assessing past performance, the Government will focus its inquiry on the past performance of the Offeror as it relates to all solicitation requirements. These requirements include all aspects of schedule, performance and supportability, including the Offerors record of: 1) conforming to specifications and standards of good workmanship; 2) adherence to contract schedules; 3) the proven ability of the Offeror to overcome integration and interoperability issues. b. In conducting the past performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the Offerors proposal and data obtained from other sources. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the Offeror, it is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proving low performance risk rests with the Offeror. 3. PRICE EVALUATION APPROACH. In evaluating the Price Factor, the Government will perform a price analysis to determine the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed prices in accordance with FAR 15.404. a. The Government will verify the total proposed contract ceiling price by multiplying the unit price by the maximum quantity in CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0005. The Government will also multiply the proposed fully loaded hourly rate by the number of hours listed for CLIN 0010. These three totals will be added together with CLIN 0015 to arrive at a Total Contract Ceiling Price.

An offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically at http://orca.bpn.gov.
