References for past performance shall either be completed on the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) at Attachment 5 or be a Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) assessment report and include a point of contact, their phone number, email address, name of the company, contract number (if applicable), initial contract cost, and period of performance. 4.��� Insurance Compliance:� The Insurance Certification Form at Attachment 6 shall be completed and submitted with the quotation. 5.�� Contractor Information:� The Contractor Information Form at Attachment 7 shall be completed and submitted with the quotation. 6.� ��Solicitation Amendments:� Acknowledgement of all solicitation amendments is required with submission of quotations. 7.�� Air Force Medical Services Business Associates Agreement (AFMS BAA):� Completion of the AFMS BAA is not required for award, but completion will be required by the awarded contractor prior to the start of contract performance. Evaluation:� IAW FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items, the Government will award a contract to the offeror whose quotation is judged to represent the best value to the Government based on Price, Past Performance, and Technical Factors. 1. Price:� Evaluation of price will consider the total of the annual prices for all contract years (base plus all options, including a possible six-month extension), with each year�s price evaluated as the sum of the prices of all contract line items (CLINs) for that year.� Each CLIN price will be evaluated as the quantity multiplied by the unit price, rounded to the nearest cent.� A potential six-month extension IAW the clause FAR 52.217-8 will be evaluated at the pricing of the final option year divided by two. In the event of an extension under this clause, it will be exercised at the prices of the prior contract year. 2. Technical:� The technical approach will be evaluated to determine if it clearly demonstrates a complete and realistic plan to meet Service Summary item SS-1, SS-2, SS-3 and SS-4 of the Performance Work Statement. Technical will be evaluated on an �Acceptable� or �Unacceptable� scale as defined below. DEFINITION/RATING ACCEPTABLE Technical approach meets the requirements of the solicitation. UNACCEPTABLE Technical approach does not meet the requirements of the solicitation. In order to be technically acceptable, offerors shall submit a technical approach document as stated in the FAR 52.212-1 provision addendum, paragraph 2, of this RFQ.� Quotations must be evaluated as Acceptable in Technical to be considered awardable. If a quotation receives an Unacceptable rating, the offeror will not be considered for award. 3. Past Performance:� Recent, relevant Past Performance will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable scale as defined below. For the purpose of this solicitation, recency is performance occurring within the last three (3) years from the period of the solicitation release date. For the purpose of this solicitation, relevancy is defined as performance of Paramedic services similar in scope to this requirement with a period of performance of at least one (1) year.� The one (1) year of relevancy performance must be within the last three (3) years of recency performance. Past Performance will be evaluated on an �Acceptable� or �Unacceptable� scale as defined below. DEFINITION/RATING ACCEPTABLE Based on the offeror�s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror�s performance record is unknown (See note below). UNACCEPTABLE Based on the offeror�s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. NOTE:� In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or �neutral�) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered� acceptable�. Evaluation of past performance will also consider past performance information obtained from any suitable source, such as Air Force automated past performance data bases (i.e. CPARS, PPIRS), direct business experience with the offeror, or similar.� Quotations must be evaluated as Acceptable in Past Performance to be considered awardable. If a proposal receives an Unacceptable rating, the offeror will not be considered for award. Although only recent, relevant past performance will be evaluated for award, poor performance ratings or other negative information regarding non-recent and/or non-relevant past performance will be evaluated for contractor responsibility IAW FAR 9.104-1(c) and FAR 9.104-3(b) and may still result in disqualification from award. The government reserves the right to obtain and evaluate past performance information from any sources it deems appropriate. An offeror may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposals, such as, the relevance of an offeror�s past performance information (as related to this acquisition), and adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond or to resolve minor clerical errors. Questions and Answers: Should you have any questions about this requirement, please submit them no later than 2:00 PM EST 7 January 2021. �All questions must be submitted via email. Answers to all questions will be posted to SAM.gov prior to close of the solicitation with ample time for quotations to be submitted taking questions and answers into account.
