Please review the attached Performance Work Statement. Offers received will be evaluated based on FAR Clause 52.212-2 Evaluation--Commercial Items. The clause will be incorporated into the solicitation and shall read as follows: (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. Offerors are reminded that the evaluation process is subjective despite the use of factors as outlined below. Past performance is more important than technical capability. Past performance and technical, when combined, are significantly more important that price. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Past Performance- To demonstrate satisfactory past performance the Offeror shall provide documentation of satisfactory performance on past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, performed within the last three (3) years including references, with names and contact information of the references who can verify such past performance. Past performance information of key personnel may be provided if the company has limited or no past performance. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror will be evaluated as neutral on Past Performance, providing the Offeror supplies a certified statement with their offer that no past performance information is available. Neutral past performance is not negatively scored but may have a negative impact in the overall consideration for award. The Government's approach to evaluating past performance is to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance as well as data obtained from other sources available i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The Offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the Offeror. Past Performance is the most important factor and is more important than Technical Capability. 2. Technical Capability - Technical Capability is defined as the documented capability to meet the minimum requirements of the requirement as specified in this solicitation and the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Offeror's proposal should clearly outline the Offeror's capability to meet the requirements of the performance work statement. Technical Capability is the second most important factor and is less important than Past Performance. 3. Price - All quotes submitted will be evaluated for Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price. The government will issue award to the Offeror whose quote is the most advantageous to the government but not necessarily the lowest price. If all things are equal, the Offer which is most advantageous to the government may also be the lowest price determined to be reasonable IAW FAR 12.209. Offeror's are encouraged to propose their best price. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposed by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The resulting contract from this solicitation will be a firm fixed price contract. It is not the intent of the government to enter into negotiations. It is incumbent upon the Offeror to submit sufficient information for the Government to determine satisfactory Past Performance, Technical Capability, and Price reasonableness. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine Technical Capability, Past Performance or Price may result in the rejection of your quote. An award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price, including options (IAW 52.212-2(b)), of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.
