Description
The Regional Counterdrug Training Academy (RCTA), Mississippi intends to compete a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for technical instructional services for Patrol Officer Response to Street Drugs (PORSD) specifications outlined in this solicitation and within the Performance Work Statement.� This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this procurement is W9127Q-20-R-0012 and this is a Request for Proposals (RFP). This announcement will be issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation. This requirement is set aside for Small Business. The anticipated award will be a Firm Fixed Price Contract. This is a competitive requirement in which competing offerors' proposal will be evaluated on a best value basis. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. � The Government intends to award this Contract to the responsible offeror who meets all solicitation requirements and whose proposal provides the best value to the Government. The award decision will be based upon an integrated assessment using the evaluation criteria described below. While price will be a significant factor, the Government reserves the right to award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, when the decision is consistent with the evaluation criteria and the Award Decision Authority determines that the technical superiority of the higher priced proposal outweighs the price difference.� While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity; the fair opportunity selection process, by its nature, is subjective.� IAW Therefore, the use of professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire evaluation process.� Award may be made without discussions.� Evaluation Criteria The following factors will be used to evaluate the proposals: (1) Past Performance, (2) Technical Capabilities and (3) Price. �These evaluations will include base year and all option years. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price. Past Performance-The Government will evaluate the offeror�s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS.� Recency, relevancy, and quality of past performance will be the past performance factors. An adjectival rating will be given to the relevancy sub-factor. Quality of Past Performance will not be give an adjectival rating but will be considered in the Performance Confidence Assessment. A Performance Confidence Assessment will be made based on all past performance information submitted. An adjectival rating will be made for the Performance Confidence assessment. Past Performance Factor A-Recency: �Recency is a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant. For the past performance to be considered relevant, it is has to have been performed within the past three (3) years for this acquisition. Past Performance Factor B- Relevancy: Relevancy of all recent past performance information submitted will be given an adjectival rating based on the Past Performance Relevancy Rating Table (VERY RELEVANT, RELEVANT, SOMEWHAT RELEVANT, and NOT RELEVANT) Past Performance Factor C- Quality of Past Performance: The third past performance factor is the quality of the offeror�s past performance. Document results from Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources will be the support and basis of this assessment. The SSEB will review all performance information collected to determine the quality of the offeror�s performance, general trends, usefulness of the information, and incorporate these into the performance confidence assessment. A separate quality assessment rating will not be made. The Quality of Services/Training will consider the following elements and sub-elements: Course Design and Development Course Curriculum/Agenda Quality of Instruction Course Materials/Handouts Course Benefit in Workplace Scheduling Adherence to Schedule Flexibility in Scheduling Business Relations Business/Contracting Relations Problem Resolution Process Improvement Lesson Learned Incorporation Cooperative Behavior Commitment to Customer Satisfaction Responsiveness Management of Key Personnel Technical Knowledge in Course Subject Matter to include thoroughness, accuracy, and overall assessment of contractor. Performance Confidence Assessment- A Performance Confidence Assessment will be made based on all of the recent, relevant past performance information and the quality of past performance for each offeror. The Offeror�s proposal will be given an adjectival rating of SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE, SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE, NEUTRAL CONFIDENCE, LIMITED CONFIDENCE, or NO CONFIDENCE. Adjectival Rating Description Substantial Confidence: Based on the offeror�s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will 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 will successfully perform the required effort. Neutral Confidence: 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. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance. Limited Confidence: Based on the offeror�s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. No Confidence: Based on the offeror�s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Adjectival Rating Description 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 Technical capability shall be evaluated in accordance with the Army Source Selection Supplement (AS3), Section 3.1, the Army methodology for evaluating Technical Approach and Related Risk is the Combined Technical/Risk Rating, (see Table 1 below). This methodology considers risk, in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings for each technical sub-factor.� Each technical factor and sub-factor will be given an adjectival and color rating based on the following: BLUE (OUTSTANDING), PURPLE (GOOD), GREEN (ACCEPTABLE), YELLOW (MARGINAL), and RED (UNACCEPTABLE).
