Factor 1 Technical will be evaluated as follows: ADJECTIVALDEFINITION AcceptableProposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal has no strengths or deficiencies. UnacceptableProposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is not awardable. FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE: Provide Past Performance information on two (no more than 5) recent and relevant contracts demonstrating the Offeror's capability of providing yoga instruction as described in the SOW. More recent and relevant performance will have a greater impact on the performance confidence assessment than less recent and /or less relevant effort. The Government will conduct a performance confidence assessment based on aspects of an offeror's past performance, focusing on and targeting performance that is recent (within the last 3 years), relevant to the requirements of this solicitation, and similar in complexity and magnitude compared to the requirements of the solicitation. Performance that is not recent, relevant, similar in complexity, or similar in magnitude will not be evaluated for purposes of the confidence assessment. The performance confidence assessment process will result in an overall confidence rating. This performance confidence assessment rating represents the Government's judgment of the probability of an offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. Lack of recent and relevant past performance that is similar in complexity and magnitude to this solicitation will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably, but on a neutral or unknown basis. If adverse past performance is revealed, the offeror will be afforded an opportunity to address the adverse information (unless the information was obtained through PPIRS, in which case the offeror has already had an opportunity to respond). Factor 2 Past Performance will be evaluated as follows: ADJECTIVALDEFINITION OutstandingPast performance meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low. GoodPast performance meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low. AcceptablePast performance meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is moderate. MarginalPast performance does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high. UnacceptablePast performance does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is not awardable. Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a proposed subcontractor cannot be disclosed to an offeror without the subcontractor's consent. Offeror shall provide with its proposal a letter from each proposed subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of its past performance information to an offeror. FACTOR 3: PRICE: Price will be considered for "reasonableness" in conjunction with the technical and past performance ratings in determining the best overall value to the Government. All technical factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. The Government intends to award only one (1) contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is responsive to the solicitation and determined to be the best overall value to the Government. In order to determine best overall value, this acquisition will utilize a trade-off process. The process permits trade-offs among technical, past performance and price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest price proposal. (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.
