(end of provision addendum) FAR 52.212-2 - Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999) (Addendum) EVALUATION CRITERIA An IDIQ will be awarded to the company determined to represent the best value to the USCG. IAW FAR 15.101-1, the Government will determine best value using the tradeoff process. The tradeoff process will lead to an award decision that is made on the basis of trade-offs between the following price and non-cost evaluation factors: Factor 1. Technical and Management Approach Factor 2. Relevant Past Performance Factor 3. Small Business Subcontracting Plan Factor 4. Price Selection and award of the IDIQ award will be based on the following aforementioned evaluation criteria in descending order of importance: Technical and Management Approach, Relevant Past Performance, Small Business Subcontracting Plan and Price. Technical and Management Approach is considered to be more important than Past Performance and Small Business Subcontracting Plan; however, when combined they are significantly more important than price. As the Technical and Management Approach, Relevant Past Performance and Small Business Subcontracting Plan scores converge, the price may become more important. FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH: The Government will evaluate each Offeror's Technical and Management Approach to determine their capacity to perform all the requirements outlined in the PWS, which will include, but will not be limited to, an evaluation of the following: the Offeror's proposed mix of labor categories and level of effort proposed for the solicited services; the Offeror's approach to managing its personnel (Contractor's ability to attract, retain, supervise and motivate top quality personnel with the critical skills and abilities IAW the PWS); the Offeror's approach to provide the required courses; the offeror's approach to providing necessary facilities; and the Offeror's approach to curriculum development based on an evaluation of the submitted course curriculum. Additionally, the Government will evaluate the proposed instructor's qualifications as to whether they meet or exceed the experience requirements outlined in PWS 1.3.2.1. FACTOR 2: RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE: The Government will evaluate the Offeror's past performance information on the submitted "Past Performance Evaluation Document". The Government reserves the right to utilize past performance information other than the information submitted with the offers received in conducting the evaluation. An Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but will receive a neutral rating. The Government may consider past performance information regarding predecessor companies or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is considered relevant. FACTOR 3: SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN: The Government will evaluate the Offeror's, except for small business offerors, small business subcontracting plan. As small businesses are not required to submit a small business subcontracting plan, small business offerors will receive the highest rating for this factor. Large businesses that submit a signed statement that states that they will not subcontract any work of the resultant contract will receive a neutral rating. Large businesses' submitted subcontracting plans will be evaluated as to the degree to which the subcontracting plan meets Fiscal Year 2011 USCG Small Business Subcontracting Goals, which are stated as follows (small business subcontracts: 40%, small disadvantaged business subcontracts: 5%, woman owned small business subcontracts: 5%, HUBZone subcontracts: 3%, and service disabled veteran owned small business subcontracts: 3%. Additionally large businesses' history of compliance with Subcontracting Reporting Requirements in other federal contracts and how well the large businesses have met planned Small Business Subcontracting goals in previous awards will be evaluated. FACTOR 4: PRICE: The Government will evaluate the Contractor's subtotal price (sum of all Subclins) to determine price reasonableness.

(h) Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Executive Order 12689). (Applies only if the contract value is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.) The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals-- (1) [_] Are, [_] are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (2) [_] Have, [_] have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property; and (3) [_] Are, [_] are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and (4) [_] Have, [_] have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (ii) Examples. (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appear rights. (B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals Contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code). (i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503(b).] (1) Listed End Product Listed End Product: Listed Countries of Origin: (2) Certification.

(3) If paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause applies- (i) If the offeror does not certify to the conditions in paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) and the Contracting Officer did not attach a Service Contract Act wage determination to the solicitation, the offeror shall notify the Contracting Officer as soon as possible; and (ii) The Contracting Officer may not make an award to the offeror if the offeror fails to execute the certification in paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause or to contact the Contracting Officer as required in paragraph (k)(3)(i) of this clause. (l) Taxpayer identification number (TIN) (26 U.S.C. 6109, 31 U.S.C. 7701).

Notice for Filing Agency Protests United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program: It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum, rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman. Informal forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the USCG Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable). Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the contracting officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester's concerns are unresolved, an independent review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the contracting officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency's goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103. If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protest to meet the requirement. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted to: Department of Homeland Security United States Coast Guard (CG-9131) Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests 1900 Half Street, SW, Room 11-0602 Washington, D. C. 20593-0001 FAX: 202.475.3904 The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202.372.3695.
