The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. BASIS FOR AWARD 1.1. Award of a single contract shall be made on a competitive basis, using the best value tradeoff process among price and non-price factors described at FAR 15.101-1. The resulting contract is expected to be firm-fixed-price. 1.2. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. 1.3. Award of this contract will be made on a competitive best value basis, using tradeoff among price and non-price factors. Thus, the Government may elect to award to other than the lowest priced offeror, or other than the highest technically rated offeror. Past Performance will be evaluated independently from the other non-price evaluation factors using different standards. The evaluation factors are listed below in descending order of importance. Factor 1 - Technical Capability Factor 2 - Experience Factor 3 - Past Performance Factor 4 - Price 1.4. Government evaluators will not assume that the offeror possesses any capability or knowledge unless it is specified in the proposal. 1.5. After Factors 1 and 2 are rated individually, an overall rating will be assigned to these factors collectively. If Factor 1 or 2 receives an individual rating of "Unacceptable," the overall rating will also be "Unacceptable." Proposals that receive an overall rating of "Marginal" for Factors 1 and 2 will not be considered in the tradeoff process. Only proposals receiving an overall rating of "Acceptable" or higher will be considered for award.. 2 EVALUATION CRITERIA 2.1. Factor 1 - Technical Capability: The technical capability will be evaluated for the degree to which the Offeror's technical capability demonstrates a clear understanding of the PWS and all the tasks to be performed; the methodology and flexibility that will be utilized; and how the approach will accomplish all tasks, subtasks, and administrative tasks as are necessary to ensure program success within the proposal's required time frame. This capability will be evaluated for the degree to which the technical capability demonstrates a clear working ability to provide training services, license and subscription for 3ds Max. 2.2. Factor 2 - Experience: The Offeror's proposal will be evaluated to the degree to which the Offeror's proposal reflects experience identical to, similar to, or related to performing services contained within the PWS. The experience will be evaluated to the degree to which the Offeror demonstrates relevant experience in providing the training services, specifically with 3DS Max 2016. Offeror proposals will be evaluated to the degree proposals cite specific examples of relevant experience in the areas of providing 3ds Mas software training services as it relates to the specific tasks listed in the PWS. 2.3. Factor 3 - Past Performance: Past performance shall be evaluated on the basis of the offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in services that meet the contract's requirements. The Government will conduct a past performance risk evaluation and confidence assessment of the offeror that will be based on the relevance, recency, and quality of the offeror's past performance on projects of similar size, scope, and complexity within similar periods of performance. a. Offerors shall submit a list of no more than two (2) references familiar with the offeror's performance on relevant contracts within the past three (3) years. It is the offeror's responsibility to provide valid, current, and verifiable references. References must include the following information: i. Name of the organization that will be providing the reference ii. Name of the point of contact (POC) familiar with contract performance iii. POC telephone number iv. POC email address v. Contract number vi. Period of performance vii. Summary of the scope of work performed b. The Government will review the relevant and recent past performance information to determine the risks associated with an offeror's probability of successfully performing the required efforts. c. The Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources. Other sources available to the Government include, but are not limited to, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). d. In the case of an Offeror who has no recent/relevant performance record available or the Offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror will be determined to have "Unknown Confidence" for its past performance evaluation factor. 2.4. Factor 4 - Price: Price will be evaluated separately from non-price and past performance factors. A price analysis will be performed in order to evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed price. The base contract(s) shall contain the Clause FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, or an equivalent clause. By submitting a proposal for this requirement, the contractor agrees to this inclusion in the base contract. (b) Option Year Periods. The Government will evaluate the offers for award purposes by examining the labor rate for all options based on the basic estimated labor utilization for the requirement. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The evaluated price with be the total of the base year plus all option periods. (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. (End of provision) 3. EVALUATION RATING STANDARDS 3.1. RATING STANDARDS FOR THE NON-PRICE PROPOSAL (EXCLUDING PAST PERFORMANCE) Combined Technical/Risk Ratings Table Rating Description Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low. Good Proposal 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. Acceptable Proposal 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 no worse than moderate. Marginal Proposal 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. Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable. 3.2 Best Value Tradeoff Evaluation Standard Definitions Clarifications Limited exchanges between the Government and Offerors that may occur when award without discussions is contemplated. Communications Exchanges, between the Government and Offerors, after receipt of proposals, leading to establishment of the competitive range. Deficiency A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weakness in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001 Discussions Negotiations conducted in a competitive acquisition. Discussions take place after establishment of the competitive range. Performance Confidence Assessment An evaluation of the likelihood (or Government's confidence that the Offeror will successfully perform the solicitation's requirements; the evaluation is based upon past performance information. Recency As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the time that has elapsed since the past performance reference occurred. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant. Relevancy As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the service/support effort, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and subcontract/teaming or other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the source solicitation requirements; and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance. Risk The potential for unsuccessful contractor performance. The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which an Offeror's proposed approach to achieving the technical factor or subfactor may involve risk of disruption of schedule, increased cost (not applicable to firm-fixed price contracts) for degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. Significant Strength A significant strength appreciably enhances the merit of a proposal or appreciably increases the probability of successful contract performance. Significant Weakness A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001. Strength An aspect of an Offeror's proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance. Weakness A flaw the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.¬ 3.3. RATING STANDARDS FOR PAST PERFORMANCE Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Standards for the Non Cost/Price Proposal Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. 3.4 Past Performance Confidence Assessments Standards for the Non Cost/Price Proposal Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror shall successfully perform the required effort. Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror shall successfully perform the required effort. Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offer shall successfully perform the required effort. No Confidence Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror shall successfully perform the required effort. Unknown Confidence (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. 52.212-5 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT STATUTES OR EXECUTIVE ORDERS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUN 2016) 1.
