(End of Provision); 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (JAN 1999) LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE EVALUATION The contract resulting from this solicitation will be awarded based on the following evaluation factors: (1) Technical: Offers must meet or exceed the specifications in the solicitation and any subsequent amendments. Technical Requirements are the primary determining factors of an offeror's ability to perform. Offerors shall describe how they meet or plan to meet all mandatory requirements in the respective Statement of Work (SOW) and contract clauses. The Government will review proposals to determine whether or not an offeror has adequately demonstrated an ability to meet or exceed the Government's requirements in accordance with the SOW. For each technical requirement, offers demonstrating an ability to perform will at a minimum be determined "acceptable" for that requirement task. Depending on each contractor's capability, they may be determined to be outside the realm of acceptability and not provided an opportunity to revise their quote if discussions become necessary. (2) Price: For offers which meet all other evaluation factors, award will be made to the low offeror based on price. Price Evaluation is to be performed by the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer. Vendors are required to submit price quotes in accordance with the proposed CLINs structure. Vendors are to provide firm-fixed pricing for each of the CLIN's as well as a total price for the entire effort. The Government will evaluate offers for award purpose by adding the total price for all options to the total price basic requirement. The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations, the Contracting Officer will notify offerors via e-mail with instructions of this decision. The Contracting Officer will provide offerors determined to be in the competitive range with information concerning the on-line auction process. (3)Period of Performance: Offerors must meet the required delivery date, or if POP: Offerors must be able to start performance on the required period of performance. Each offeror's proposed price will be evaluated for reasonableness. The Government currently intends to award a contract with a base period of performance of 12 months and two (2) twelve months option period. It is the Government's intention to award without negotiating, under a lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach. FAR52.212-3, "Offeror Representations and Certification-Commercial Items" (APR 2012); 52.212-5, "Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items" (AUG 2012); 52.217-5, "Evaluation of Options" (JUL 1990); 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services." 52.217-9, "Option to Extend the Term of the Contract." 52.219-28, "Post-award Small Business Program Representation" (APR 2009); 52.232-17, "Interest" (OCT 2008); 52.237-3, "Continuity of Services'" (JAN 1991); 52.242-13, "Bankruptcy" (JUL 1995); 52.242-15, "Stop-Work Order" (AUG 1989); 52.212-4, "Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items" (FEB 2012); 52.232-33, "Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer-Central Contractor Registration"; 52.233-9001; "Disputes: Agreement to Use Alternative Dispute Resolution" (AUG 2004). DFARS 252.212-7000, "Offeror representations and certifications - Commercial Items" (Jun 2005) Certification and Representation shall be Submitted separately from the quote and 252.212-7001, "Contract Terms and conditions required to implement statutes or Executive Orders applicable to Defense Acquisition of Commercial Items" (Apr 2007) (DEVIATION), 52.204-99, "System for Award Management" (Aug 2012) and 252.243-7001, "Pricing of Contract Modifications" (Dec 1991). 252.232-7003, "Electronic Submission and Processing of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports" (Mar 2008) The Government has the option to extend the services for this action. Therefore, FAR 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services Addendum"applies to this acquisition. "The government might find it necessary to exercise FAR clause 52.217-8 "Option to Extend Services" at some point in this contract. At minimum, pricing for this clause will be evaluated in every offer prior to award as part of the pricing provided for the base year and any relevant "Option to Extend Term of the Contract" period of performance per FAR 52.217-9. Should the "Option to Extend Services" clause be exercised, pricing will follow past practices and be set at the then current rates being utilized in the contract, prorated to the Extended Services performance periods being utilized. For example, should this clause be exercised for a two month performance period to follow the option year one performance period of the contract, then the pricing would be set for two months at option year one pricing, barring the operation of other law." This procurement is a candidate for Reverse Auction. Therefore, DLAD 52.215-9023, "Reverse Auction" applies to this acquisition by full text. As prescribed in DLAD 15.408-90(c)(1), use the following provision. REVERSE AUCTION (NOV 2012) The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the Contracting Officer does not conduct a reverse auction, award may be made on the basis of initial offers or following discussions not using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations, the Contracting Officer will notify offerors of this decision and the following provisions will apply. (a) The award decision will be made in accordance with the evaluation factors as set forth in the solicitation. The reverse on-line auction will be used as a pricing technique during discussions to establish the final offered prices from each offeror. These prices will be used in conjunction with the evaluation factors stated elsewhere in the solicitation in order to make the award decision in accordance with the basis for award stated in the solicitation. (b) Following the decision to conduct discussions using on-line reverse auctioning as a pricing technique, the Contracting Officer or his/her representative will provide offerors determined to be in the competitive range with information concerning the on-line auction process. The Government intends to use a commercial web-based product to conduct the reverse auction. (c) Prior to or simultaneously with conducting the on-line reverse auction, the Contracting Officer may hold discussions with the offerors concerning matters appropriate for discussion, such as issues involving technical proposals or unbalanced pricing. (d) The lowest offeror's price(s) for each round of the reverse auction will be disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having authorized access to the on-line auction. This disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror's identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government; only a generic identifier will be used for each offeror's proposed pricing, such as "Offeror A" or "lowest-priced offeror"). By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the reverse auction and that their prices may be disclosed, including to other offerors, during the reverse auction. (e) The reverse auction system currently in use designates offers as "Lead," meaning the current low price in that auction, or "Not Lead," meaning not the current low price in that auction. In the event of a tie offer, the reverse auction provider's system designates the first offer of that price as "Lead" and the second or subsequent offer of that price as "Not Lead." Offerors shall not submit a tie offer, since this is inconsistent with the purpose of the reverse auction. If a tie offer is submitted, the "Not Lead" offeror that submitted the tie offer must offer a changed price; it will be ineligible for award if the final price in the auction is the tie offer price. (f) An offeror's final auction price at the close of the reverse auction will be considered its final proposal revision. No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the reverse auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed and final proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.307, or the Contracting Officer determines that it would be in the best interest of the Government to re-open the auction. (g) The following information is provided regarding the procedures to be followed if a reverse auction is conducted. (1) Each offeror identified by the Contracting Officer as a participant in the reverse auction will be contacted by Defense Logistic Agency's commercial reverse auction service provider to advise the offeror of the event and to provide an explanation of the process. (2) In order for an Offeror to participate in the reverse auction, such offeror must agree with terms and conditions of the entire solicitation, including this provision, and agree to the commercial reverse auction service provider's terms and conditions for using its service. Information concerning the reverse auction process and the commercial service provider's terms and conditions is embedded within the email notification sent by the on-line reverse auction pricing tool system administrator. (3) Offerors shall secure the passwords and other confidential materials provided by the commercial reverse auction service provider or the Government and ensure they are used only for purposes of participation in the reverse auction. Offerors shall keep their own and other offerors' pricing in confidence until after contract award. (4) Any offeror unable to enter pricing through the commercial reverse auction service provider's system during a reverse auction must notify the Contracting Officer or designated representative immediately. The Contracting Officer may, at his/her sole discretion, extend or re-open the reverse auction if the reason for the offeror's inability to enter pricing is determined to be without fault on the part of the offeror and outside the offeror's control. (5) The reverse auction will be conducted using the commercial reverse auction service provider's website as embedded in the email notification. Offerors shall be responsible for providing their own computer and internet connection. (6) Training: (i) The commercial reverse auction service provider and/or a Government representative will provide familiarization training to offerors' employees; this training may be provided through written material, the commercial reverse auction service provider's website, and/or other means. (ii) An employee of an offeror who successfully completes the training shall be designated as a 'trained offeror.' Only trained offerors may participate in a reverse auction. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to request that offerors provide an alternate offeror employee to become a 'trained offeror.' The Contracting Officer also reserves the right to take away the 'trained offeror' designation from any trained offeror who fails to abide by the solicitation or commercial reverse auction service provider's terms and conditions. (End of Provision) The resulting contract will be firm-fixed price. The period of performance will be from the date of award until contract completion. Offerors must be submitted via one of the following methods by 10:00 AM ET, June 25, 2013: Email to: antoinette.gregg@dla.mil.; Fax to: 703-767-1172 Attn: Antoinette Gregg or Mail to : DLA Contracting Services Office, ATTN: Antoinette Gregg, 8725 John J. Kingman Road, Room 1145, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060. To be eligible for award of a Government contract, contractors must be properly registered in the System Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 866-606-8220, or via the Internet @www.sam.gov. All changes to the requirement that occur prior to the closing date will be posted to FedBizOpps. It is the responsibility of interested vendors to monitor the FedBizOpps for amendments that may be issued to this solicitation. For changes made after the closing date, only those offerors that provide a proposal will be provided any changes/amendments and considered for future award.
