(END OF CLAUSE) Clauses may be viewed or downloaded by accessing the website at: http://www.arnet.gov/far. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL BE ISSUED. EVALUATION OF QUOTATIONS: The Government will make award based on technical compliance, past performance, and price. Past Performance A quoter shall include a list of the ten most recent current of complete contracts and subcontracts occurring during the past three years. Contracts listed may include those entered into with the Federal Government, agencies of state and local government, and commercial entities. Quoters that are newly formed entities without prior contract should list contracts and subcontracts as required above for all key personnel. Quoters should provide a point of contact, address, and phone number for each contract. The quoter may provide information on problems encountered on the contracts and subcontracts identified and may describe corrective actions taken to resolve those problems. Quoters should not provide general information on their performance on the identified contracts. General performance information will be obtained by the Government from the references. Each quoter will be evaluated on its performance under existing and prior contracts for similar products or services. Performance information will be used for both responsibility determinations and as an evaluation factor against which quoters? relative rankings will be compared to assure best value to the Government. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration. Past performance will be scored and the Government?s conclusions about overall quality of the quoter?s past performance will be highly influential in determining the relative merits of the quotation and in selecting the quotation considered most advantageous to the Government. The Government reserves the right to use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the quoter. Information may be utilized from the references provided in the quotation, other customers known to the BOP, consumer protection organizations, and other who may have useful and relevant information. Information may also be considered regarding any significant subcontractor and key personnel records. The Government will evaluate the quality of the quoter?s past performance. The assessment of the quoter?s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capacity of the quoter and the other competitors. Consequently, a quoter with an exceptional record of past performance may receive a more favorable evaluation than another whose record is acceptable. If a quoter, or the proposed employees for the quoter, do not have a past performance history relating to this solicitation, the quoter will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on this factor. Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be on absolute standards of acceptable performance. The Government is seeking to determine whether the quoter has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of services/supplies at fair and reasonable prices. This is a matter of judgment. Quoters may be given an opportunity to address especially unfavorable reports of past performance, and the quoter?s response, or lack of, will be taken into consideration. A quoter?s opportunity to address reports of negative past performance information could be affected by the Government?s entitlement to award without discussions. Quoters would be well served to be aware of possible dissatisfied customers and address expected negative issues in the initial quotation. Generally, negative information obtained from a quoter?s references is considered historical in nature, not subject to change, and not a matter for discussions. By evaluating past performance, the Government intends to consider the quoter?s record of conforming to specifications and to standards of good workmanship; the quoter?s adherence to contract schedules, including administrative aspects of performance; the quoter?s reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the quoter?s business-like concern for the interest of the customer. Past performance subfactors to be evaluated are: quality of product or service; timeliness of performance; business relations; and customer satisfaction. SUBMISSION OF QUOTATIONS: Quotations shall be submitted on or before the quotation deadline specified below. All responsible sources may submit a quotation. Quoters will be required to submit the following information on letterhead or business stationery, directly to the contracting officer. 1. Completed Schedule of Items 2. Offerors Representations and Certifications (FAR 52.212-3) 3. A clear description of the product(s) offered, to include identification of brand and product name. Product samples may be requested. 4. A list of the ten most recent contracts awarded to the quoter or a major subcontractor, to include a point of contact, address, and phone number, from whom the Government will seek past performance information. All quoters are advised that this solicitation includes the clause at FAR 52.212-4 for commercial items which at paragraph (t), Central Contractor Registration (CCR), requires all contractors doing business with the Federal Government after September 30, 2003, to be registered in the CCR database. Quoters should include their Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number in their quotes. The Contracting Officer will verify registration in the CCR database prior to award by entering the potential awardee?s DUNS number into the CCR database. Failure to complete the registration procedures outlined in this clause may result in elimination from consideration for award. The above information must be received at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Field Acquisition Office, Armed Forces Reserve Complex, 346 Marine Forces Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75051 on or before 2:00 P.M. CST on August 9, 2004. Quotations may be faxed to 972-352-4545 or e-mailed to mrouanzion@bop.gov. Please call 972-352-4522 to verify receipt of quotations.
