Proposals will be evaluated on past performance, key personnel, and price and price related factors. FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items (Jan. 1999) applies. Evaluation Criteria and Basis For Award The Offeror's proposal shall contain a response to each of the factors identified below. The evaluation of this proposal will be based on the Technical and Price proposals submitted by the offeror. FACTOR 1: PAST PEFORMANCE The quality of an Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based on references provided by the Offeror, information the Government obtains through reference checks, and/or from other sources (to include but not be limited to other contracting offices, the Past performance Information retrieval Systems, and the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA)). Offerors shall provide three (3) references for requirements of similar size, scope, and complexity to the acquisition of Light Deactivation in Support of the Applicant Sales Program. Contact information, phone numbers, facsimile numbers, and email addresses shall be provided and the offeror is responsible for ensuring accurate contact information is provided and encouraged to contact its references in advance to notify that they may be contacted by the evaluation team for this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to perform customer surveys only for those contracts which are deemed by the Government to be most relevant to this procurement. The past performance section shall be limited to six (6) pages. FACTOR 1 EVALUATION AND SCORING STANDARDS: Significant confidence: The Offeror's past performance record provides little doubt that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort or exceeds our requirement. Confidence: The Offeror's past performance record indicates the Offeror can successfully perform the required effort. Unknown confidence: The Offeror has no relevant performance record. A review was unable to identify any relevant past performance information. This is a neutral rating. It does not hinder nor help the Offeror. Little confidence: The Offeror's past performance record provides substantial doubt that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. No confidence: The Offeror's past performance record provides extreme doubt that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. FACTOR 2: KEY PERSONNEL Offerors will be evaluated on the ability of their key personnel to clearly demonstrate their understanding, knowledge, and experience to meet the requirements identified in this solicitation. In addition, proposed key personnel will be evaluated on their experience in past requirements. Offerors shall provide resumes which include a description of the experience and capability for the proposed key personnel. Descriptions shall address such items as the individual's background, education, work experience and accomplishments. Resumes shall also demonstrate the knowledge that key personnel have gained through completed and ongoing efforts that are similar in nature to this effort. At a minimum, the following positions will be considered key personnel: project manager, quality control manager, and technical manager. Each resume shall be limited to two (2) pages and one introductory page is allowed; therefore the key personnel section is limited to six (6) pages. FACTOR 2 EVALUATION AND SCORING STANDARDS: Superior: Offeror demonstrates excellent understanding of the requirement and the experience and capabilities of the proposed personnel significantly exceed performance or capability expectations. There are no significant weaknesses. Satisfactory: Offeror demonstrates good understanding of the requirement and the experience and capabilities of the proposed personnel meet the performance or capability expectations. There are no significant weaknesses. Marginal: Offeror demonstrates shallow understanding of the requirement and the experience and capabilities of the proposed personnel marginally meet performance or capability expectations necessary for minimal but acceptable contract performance. There are weaknesses that may be correctable. Continuous government oversight of the Offeror's proposed key personnel may be necessary in order to achieve performance requirements. Poor: Offeror fails to demonstrate understanding of the requirement and the experience and capabilities of the proposed personnel fail to meet performance or capability expectations. There are unacceptable weaknesses. Changes to the Offeror's proposed key personnel would be necessary in order to achieve performance requirements. FACTOR 3: PRICE AND PRICE RELATED FACTORS Offerors shall be evaluated on their ability to provide a sound competitive offer associated with the requirement identified within the solicitation. The proposed price will be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness, and realism as compared to Independent Government Estimate (IGE) and the prices proposed by other offerors. The offeror must reflect a clear understanding of the requirement, and must be consistent with the methods described in the offeror's proposal. There is no page limitation for the price section; however, extraneous or past performance and key personnel information included in the price section will not be evaluated.
