Commercial Items (Jan 2005) FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation ? Commercial Items (Jan 1999) Award will be made utilizing the following factors, in descending order of importance: The Coast Guard intends to award to the Contractor whose proposal is identified as offering the best value solution. The Source Selection Team (SST) may determine the best value for the Coast Guard merits a higher price based on technical superiority. The SST, using sound business judgment, will base the selection decision on an integrated assessment of the proposal?s relative capability as measured against the below evaluation factors: o Factor 1 ?Technical/Management Solution/Approach o Factor 2 ? Performance Measures and Metrics o Factor 3 ? Past Performance o Factor 4 ? Cost/Price Factor 1 and Factor 2 are equal and each is significantly more important than Factor 3. While the Cost/Price is an important part of the integrated selection decision, the non-Cost/price factors are significantly more important than the Cost/Price factor. Cost/price will become increasingly important as proposal evaluation ratings for technical factors approach equal. DETAILED FACTORS Factor 1: Technical Management/Solution/Approach The technical/management solution/approach will be evaluated for its quality and evidence of extent to which Contractor?s solutions will achieve Coast Guard objectives of repair. The evaluation will include an assessment that the solution adheres to sound engineering, design and management practices and that the Contractor has a complete understanding of the objectives, constraints and is customer focused. Evidence of the quality of the technical management/solution/approach includes: (a) A comprehensive performance work statement and contract breakdown structure that identifies the services to be delivered to meet the program and mission requirements set forth in the statement of objectives. (b) A sound technical proposal that clearly demonstrates how implementation of the proposed solutions will deliver timely, stable, reliable, secure, flexible, responsive, compliant and cost effective services. (c) A sound partnering approach to management that demonstrates the ability to aggressively identify and apply information technology solutions to business processes. The management approach needs to provide: Highly qualified and experienced key personnel with a proven track record of success in providing large enterprise-wide managed services under performance based arrangements. Clear lines of communication between the Contractor?s team and the Coast Guard for timely problem identification, mitigation and resolution. Active and continuing participation and involvement of senior corporate executives in ensuring the success of this program. (d) The Contractor?s validated process and procedures that ensure high quality performance (i.e., ISO 9000 type or other quality certifications). Factor 2: Performance Measures and Metrics The offered performance metrics and service level agreements will be evaluated for the extent they are: (a) Comprehensive in their ability to quantify, measure, track, and report operational performance relating to both system and management performance as well as achievement of Coast Guard objectives, (b) Identifying the highest level of service consistent with cost effectiveness, such as Mean Time Between Failure (c) Tied to performance incentives and disincentives that are directly related to meeting or exceeding mission critical performance metrics. Factor 3: Past Performance The past performance evaluation will examine how the Contractor?s past and present performance validates expected performance and customer satisfaction. The Coast Guard may use data obtained from other sources to conduct the past performance assessment, as well as that provided in the proposal. The past performance evaluation will also examine the Contractor?s actual performance on repair/overhaul of similar or like items. This review will focus on the scope and complexity of the efforts, the performance measures? service levels applied, and the actual results achieved against those measures. Factor 4: Cost/Price Each Contractor?s cost/price proposal will be evaluated based on the following: (a) Evaluation of proposed price/cost (b) Reasonableness: Reasonableness will be established by the existence of adequate price competition and by comparing all, or a representative sample of the proposed prices/costs to industry average rates and/or rates from other contracts for similar work, etc. (c) Realism: A realism assessment will be accomplished by technical review and evaluation of the skill mix, specific hours, and material kinds and quantity for each identified CLIN/SubCLIN in the Contractor?s proposed cost/price proposal. The intent of the evaluation is to determine whether the estimated proposed price/cost elements are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirements; and are consistent with the approach described in the Contractor?s technical proposal.
