(VIII) FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors ¿ Commercial Items (APR 2014), applies to this acquisition. In addition to written price quotes, offerors are instructed to provide existing product literature or other documents as stated in paragraph (4) and past performance references as stated in paragraph (10) of the referenced clause. (IX) FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (OCT 2014), applies to this acquisition. (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 technical factors shall be used to evaluate offers and are listed in descending order of importance. Factor 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE: Sellers shall submit not less than two references for services performed during the past three years. Each reference shall include: the number and email addresses. References provided may be contacted by the Government. Their statements will be used in the evaluation of the offeror's quotation. In addition, any information obtained by the Government from references outside of the offeror's quotation may also be used, in a similar manner, in the technical evaluation of the offeror's quotation to the extent appropriate. Past performance information provided by references, from Government records, or from other than the sources identified by the offeror may be used in the evaluation under any or all applicable evaluation factors. In addition to the foregoing, PIPRS.gov will be used as a source of past performance information in the source selection process, in addition to any other past performance information required under this solicitation. All past performance information will be used for both the responsibility determination and the best value decision. Factor 2 - QUALITY OF DATA: The digital data shall be of such quality as to allow the USGS interpreters the ability to distinguish key geologic features. Data must be of sufficient resolution to allow interpretation of subsurface structures (e.g., faults and folds, stratigraphic features such as sequence stratigraphic units, incised valley, unconformities, and pinch-outs; and diapiric structures caused by salt or mud flow). If the quality of the processed data are not of sufficient quality to allow for the interpretation of subsurface structures (e.g., faults and folds, stratigraphic features such as sequence stratigraphic units, incised valley, unconformities, and pinch-outs; and diapiric structures caused by salt or mud flow), the USGS will request access to the raw unprocessed field data in order to re-process the data with better results. The contractor offering seismic data with the highest CMP fold will be considered as a great value. (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 options. 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. PROPOSAL PREPARATION The vendor is cautioned to study the Evaluation Factors stated above along with their relative importance. Your proposal package must address each of these factors since these are the standards against which your proposal shall be evaluated. It is the vendor ¿s responsibility to include the appropriate documentation in its quotation package to allow a complete technical/price evaluation. Failure to submit the appropriate documentation may result in the rejection of the vendor ¿s quotation. Any licensing agreements that are proposed to be applicable for the purchase of data under this procurement shall be provided with the proposal. Note the requirements for System for Award Management (SAM) registration and completion of the On-line Representations and Certifications as contained in the terms and conditions section. QUANTITY After reviewing the quality of available data, the USGS will have the option whether or not to purchase data from the areas described in Attachment 1 - Description of Data.: AWARD The award of this requirement shall be made using only the procedures found in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 13. Award shall be made to that vendor whose proposal, conforming to this RFP, is determined to be most advantageous to the government, cost or price and the other non-cost or non-price factors listed above. In determining which proposal offers the greatest value or advantage to the Government, overall technical merit will be significantly more important than evaluated price or cost. Price or cost will become the determining factor between proposals judged to be essentially equal in technical merit. The Government may award a single or multiple contracts as a result of the evaluation of proposals. The Government anticipates an IDIQ type contract with individual task orders issued under multiple awards which may be made as a result of this solicitation. (X) The offeror shall submit a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items (Dec 2012), with its quote.
