ONCE THE SURVEY IS COMPLETED, IT IS CONSIDERED SOURCE SELECTION SENSTIVE - FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY, and is only reviewed by Government personnel directly involved in the evaluation process for this acquisition. The references should be companies who have worked with the offeror within the past three years. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure their references submit timely questionnaires in accordance with the solicitation. References shall submit completed questionnaires through e-mail to Andrew Lawson, Contract Specialist, at Andrew.Lawson.2@us.af.mil or Diana Myles-South, Contracting Officer, at diana.south@us.af.mil by 1:00pm (MST), 3 April 2013.

The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items (Jan 1999) applies to this acquisition: 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Items (Jan 1999) a. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: i. Past Performance ii. Delivery iii. Price Paragraphs b and c are not applicable as shown below: b. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). c. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror 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. Addendum to 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive best value in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13 in which competing offerors’ past performance history and delivery will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than cost or price considerations. All offerors will be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. This award will result in a Firm-fixed price purchase order and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: a. Price Evaluation. Initially, offers shall be ranked according to price. An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantity by the contractor’s proposed unit price to confirm the extended amount for each contract line item (CLIN). The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price. b. Using questionnaires, the contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information based on (1) the past and present efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Relevant performance includes performances of efforts involving manufacturing of blankets, comforters, sweatshirts, sweatpants or similar in type as defined in the specifications with the same or similar scope, magnitude, and complexity this solicitation requires. The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receives a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment rating. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in the solicitation, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. c. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence or Unknown Confidence as defined in AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, Table 3 and shown below. Offerors with no relevant or recent past or present performance history shall receive the rating “Unknown Confidence,” meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Confidence ratings are defined as follows: SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. LIMITED CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. NO CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE: No performance record is identifiable or the offeror’s performance record is limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. d. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be considered as highly as past performance information from the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence,” meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. If the prime contractor has no past performance and is relying on their subcontractor's past performance, the prime contractor will be assessed an unknown confidence rating and, depending on the past performance information on the subcontractor, their past performance will be assessed as defined in AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, Table 3 (shown above) and then the two ratings will be combined. e. A relevancy determination of the offeror’s present and past performance, including joint ventures, subcontractors and/or teaming partners will be made. In determining relevance for individual contract, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Relevance will be assessed for contracts that are most similar to the effort, or portion of the effort, for which that contractor is being proposed, and may contribute to an overall higher relevancy determination for the offeror. The Government is not bound by the offeror’s opinion of relevance. The following relevancy definitions are: Relevant - Present/Past performance effort involved much of the same or similar manufacturing of backpacks, garment bags, B-4 bags or similar in type as defined in the specifications with the same or similar scope, magnitude, and complexity this solicitation requires. Somewhat Relevant – Present/Past performance effort involved some of the same or similar manufacturing of backpacks, garment bags, B-4 bags or similar in type as defined in the specifications with the same or similar scope, magnitude, and complexity this solicitation requires. Not Relevant - Present/Past performance effort did not involve any of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. f. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation. g. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance rating and can meet the required delivery date that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. h. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment and can meet the required delivery date or until all offerors are evaluated. In that event, the Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision.
