FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (JAN 1999) is as supplemented below: This is a best value acquisition using the trade-off approach. The USCG intends to award a single Firm Fixed Price IDIQ Contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer is most advantageous to the Government. Selection and award of a Firm Fixed Price IDIQ Contract will be based on, in descending order of importance, 1) Technical Approach and Capability, 2) Relevant Past Performance, and 3) Price. Technical Approach and Capability is considered to be more important than Past Performance; however when combined they are significantly more important than price. As the Technical and Management Approach and Relevant Past Performance ratings converge, price may become more important. The USCG will evaluate the offers that meet the requirements of the solicitation against the following evaluation criteria: Factor 1 - Technical Approach & Capability: The Government will evaluate each offeror's technical approach to determine their capacity to meet all the requirements outlined in the PWS this will include the evaluation of the understanding of the PWS, an evaluation of the course descriptions and outlines, course facilities, training aids, and the resumes' of personnel designated Key IAW HSAR 3052.215-70 Factor 2- Relevant Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the past performance of the offeror for relevancy. The offeror shall provide past performance information for services directly related and relevant to the services to be performed under the PWS. To be considered relevant, the services must have been performed within the past three years. The USCG reserves the right to utilize past performance information other than the information submitted with the proposals received in conducting the evaluation. A Contractor 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 USCG 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 - Price: The offeror shall propose pricing for all courses. The offeror shall include their course cancellation policy, if any. Cancellation policies will be evaluated based on the government canceling one of each course per contract year 30 days before course convening, and one of each course per contract year 15 days before course convening. The Government will evaluate the total overall price based on the maximum estimated quantity of courses and the cancellation ceiling to determine price reasonableness.

(End of clause) NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS 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.
