Technical merit ratings reflect the Governments confidence in each offerors ability, as demonstrated in its proposal, to perform the requirements stated in the solicitation. In evaluating the proposal risk, the Government will make an independent judgment of the probability of success, the impact of failure and the alternatives available to meet the requirements. The following adjectival ratings will be used in evaluating each offerors technical proposal Acceptable To receive this rating, the offeror shall present a proposal that clearly and comprehensively addresses the technical factor. The offeror shall provide sufficient details for the Government to determine whether the proposal satisfactorily meets the minimum requirements of the Performance Work Statement and this solicitation. The proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the offeror fully understands and is capable of performing the requirement for the total proposed price indicated in its proposal Unacceptable This rating will be assessed on any offeror that presents a proposal that demonstrates any of the following: (f) Fails to clearly and comprehensively the technical evaluation factors or submit a technical plan. (g) Fails to provide sufficient detail for the Government to determine whether the proposal satisfactorily meets the minimum requirements of the Performance Work Statement and this solicitation in addressing the factors and subfactors. (h) Fails to clearly demonstrate that the offeror fully understands and is technically capable to perform the requirements at its total proposed price. Factor 1. Price Price will be evaluated separately from the past performance and technical factor and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonability in terms of: A. That the prices are consistent with and reflect the proposed requirement. B. Offerors are cautioned that an unrealistically low price, or unbalanced pricing of line items, as proposed initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating the quote on the basis that the offeror has made an imprudent offer. Factor 2. Past and Present Performance. Performance Risk analysis provides insight into an offeror's probability of successfully completing the solicitation requirements based on the offeror's performance record on recent, relevant, and similar contract efforts. The number and severity of problems (if any), the demonstrated effectiveness of corrective actions taken (if required) and the overall performance record are to be taken into consideration. The offerors performance will be rated in terms of performance risk. A performance risk rating (low, medium, high or neutral) will be assigned dependent upon the evaluators' assessment of the level of confidence in the offeror's performance record. In ranking offerors assessed in the same performance risk category, an offeror with experience in performing services will be ranked as a lower risk compared to an offeror with no or hardly any experience in performing services. Past Performance will be evaluated on performance under current and prior contracts for the last three years. The information which will be used for evaluation will be obtained from those presented in the Offeror's past performance documentation, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/cparsmain.htm, and any other Government sources. The Government may reject a proposal if it is found that any information that has a negative impact on the offeror's past performance record has been deleted, misrepresented, or withheld. The following risk ratings will be used to evaluate past and present performance: -High Risk - Significant doubt exists that the offeror will satisfactorily perform the services on solicitation, based on preponderance of unsatisfactory performance records under the various factor evaluations, or offerors record of unsuccessful past and current contracts performance in fulfilling requirements similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation. Verification of past performance shows that offerors have consistently not met work schedules and other obligations, have defaulted on at least one contract within the past three years, or have chronically failed to meet contract terms. -Medium Risk - Some doubt exists based on instances of record of poor performance, especially in contracts similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation. Verification of past performance shows that offeror meets work schedules and specified services most of the time, meets contract terms without failure or resolves issues immediately, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. -Low Risk - Little doubt exists, based on the offeror's preponderance of good, if not excellent past and current records of contract performance, especially in large contracts similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation. Verification of past performance shows that offeror consistently meets work schedules, provides specified services, meets contract terms without failure, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. Neutral Risk No relevant past performance information. Note: Any offeror that receives a rating of high risk in past and present performance and unacceptable in technical will not be considered for award. _X_ 52.212-3 -- OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (AUG 2009) ALTERNATE I (APR 2002) SPECIAL NOTE: All offerors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) prior to award, and lack of registration shall make an offer ineligible for award.
