(2)FAR 52.212-2 (Evaluation – Commercial Items) (JAN 1999) with the following insertion in para (a) “lowest priced technically acceptable offer with acceptable past performance.” 1.The Government will award a delivery order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors and subfactors shall be used to evaluate quotes: a.TECHNICAL: Technical will be evaluated on a PASS/FAIL basis. Award will not be made to an offeror whose quote is determined to be not technically acceptable. (1)Instructor Qualification: In evaluating this subfactor, the Government will consider the instructor work history and related work experience commensurate with the personnel qualifications required at paragraph 4 of the PWS. (2)Training Approach: In evaluating this subfactor, the Government will consider the thoroughness, currency, and quality of the quoter’s proposed course of instruction, teaching methods and associated instruction material. b.PAST PERFORMANCE: Past performance will be evaluated on a PASS/FAIL basis whether the quoter has acceptable past performance and will consider past performance as an indicator of the quoter’s ability to perform the contract successfully. In evaluating this factor, the Government will consider the offeror's past performance on similar contracts in scope and nature of work. The Government will contact the three current and/or previous clients provided by the quoter. The Government may also seek present and past performance information through use of data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. All contacts will be requested to briefly state the nature of their involvement with the quoters and will then be asked a series of questions in the following areas: -Do you receive the level of technical support and competence you expect? -Does the company meet the terms and conditions of its contract? -Does management keep you well-informed? -Is the company committed to customer satisfaction? -Is the company able to provide qualified replacement personnel? -Would you continue doing business with this company? -Do you have any additional comments? The past performance evaluation will be based on the quoter’s recent and relevant performance, source of information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance. c.PRICE: Award will be made to the low offeror who is technically acceptable and who has an acceptable past performance evaluation. 2.Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base year. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 3.A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quote 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. (3)QUOTE MUST BE RECEIVED NOT LATER THAN 2:00 PM PACIFIC TIME 11 MAR 2010 IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED. Quotes may be emailed to Leila.Miller@dma.mil or sent via fax to (951) 413-2432.
