Description

CONTINUATION PAGE REVISED 52.212-2 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 offer: (1)Technical Capability a.Qualifications of the Providers b.Recent Related Experience c.Management Approach (2)Past Performance (3)Veterans Preference (4)Price Relative Importance: Technical Capability and Past Performance will be afforded primary emphasis with Technical Capability being more important than Past Performance. Combined Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Veterans Preference are significantly more important than price. Sub-factors within the Technical Capability factor are of equal importance. 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. This includes options under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which applies to this solicitation. Evaluation of options under FAR 52.217-8 will be accomplished by using the prices offered for the last option period to determine the price for a 6-month option period, which will be added to the base and other option years to arrive at the total price. Evaluation of options will 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. Factor 1 Technical Capability: The Technical Capability evaluation is divided into three (3) sub-factors. The technical rating will be based on the extent to which the offeror demonstrates the following: 1.Qualifications of the provider: Offeror to provide licenses/credentials/certification/Curriculum Vitae of all personnel who will perform under this contract (names, qualifications, position title). Demonstrate that the provider possesses the skills and knowledge necessary for the practice of Psychiatry. Demonstrate that the provider possesses Professional Skills, Knowledge, Judgment, and Clinical Skills for assuming independent responsibility for patient care. 2.Recent Related Experience: Provide documentation that demonstrates that the provider possesses recent relevant experience providing Psychiatry services identified in the solicitation. Shall also include names and contact information (telephone numbers and e-mail addresses) of three individuals (references) who have firsthand knowledge of qualifications and competency of the provider. 3.Management Approach: Offeror shall demonstrate ability to adhere to The Joint Commission Standards; Provide Quality Assurance Plan; Describe any start-up / implementation plans; and describe management plan to meet the requirements of the solicitation. The offeror will be evaluated to determine whether it has demonstrated understanding of the requirements to provide Psychiatry Services as required by the PWS. Factor 2 Past Performance: An offeror's past performance is important in determining its ability to successfully perform required services. The government is especially interested in recent and relevant past performance that relates very closely to the requirement set forth in the performance-based work statement. Provide a narrative identifying the type and scope of practice for the past (3) years addressing professional background, experience, and level of professional competence. Provide any information currently available (letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of services provided for same or similar type contract. In addition, explain any corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems. Provide documentation of any past or pending malpractice and/or tort claims. The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offerors performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this RFP. The government will use information submitted by the offeror and other sources such as other Federal Government offices and commercial sources, to assess performance. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies and key personnel who have relevant experience, that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the acquisition. The Government may evaluate information on problems identified and encountered on previous contracts and corrective actions taken by the offeror. 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 not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. (a). Performance Confidence will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305(a) (2). Performance confidence ratings assess the probability of the offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort based on the offerors past performance. In assessing past performance confidence, the evaluators will primarily rely on information provided by offerors' completed past performance questionnaires. However, the Government may use data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources to be used in the evaluation process. (b). The Government will evaluate the offerors ability to successfully perform the service based on demonstrated past and present experience under recent and relevant contracts. Recent is defined as projects performed in the last three (3) years. Relevant is defined as contracts involving the delivery of psychiatry services. (c). Recent past performance consists of contracts, completed or in progress, performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers within the last three (3) years from date of issuance of this solicitation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror's ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment in accordance with the ratings defined below. 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. Factor 3 Veterans Preference: In accordance with Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 852.215-70, the VA shall evaluate offerors based on their service-disabled veteran-owned or veteran-owned small business status and their proposed use of eligible service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and veteran-owned small businesses as subcontractors. Eligible service-disabled veteran-owned offerors will receive full credit, and offerors qualifying as veteran-owned small businesses will receive partial credit for the Veterans Preference evaluation factor. To receive credit, an offeror must be registered and verified in Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database. (http://www.VetBiz.gov). Non-veteran offerors proposing to use service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or veteran-owned small businesses as subcontractors will receive some consideration under this evaluation factor. Offerors must state in their proposals the names of the SDVOSBs and VOSBs with whom they intend to subcontract and provide a brief description of the proposed subcontracts and the approximate dollar values of the proposed subcontracts. In addition, the proposed subcontractors must be registered and verified in the VetBiz.gov VIP database (http://www.vetbiz.gov). Factor 4 Price The offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price standpoint. 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). Although the price proposal is lower than the others in importance, it will contribute to the source selection decision. While price proposal will not be rated as is Technical Capability and Past Performance evaluation criteria (Factors 1 and 2), it will be evaluated in terms of fairness and reasonableness. After the evaluations of the Technical Capability and Past Performance have been completed, price will be compared against these evaluations to determine the combination most advantageous to the Government.
