Past Performance Information: Vendors are required to provide information on no more than five (5) of the firm's most recently completed contracts (not to exceed five (5) years since completion) that are relevant to the services being provided under this solicitation. Relevance is defined similarity in scope, complexity and magnitude, i.e. similar size/dollar value and degree of administrative, managerial, and technical difficulty.

Past performance as a prime contractor on Federal contracts, especially DoD, will be preferred over and scored higher than past performance on state and local government and commercial contracts.

Vendors may submit performance data regarding current contract performance as long as a minimum of one year of performance has been completed as of the closing date of this solicitation. Vendors should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contract/order to the requirements of this solicitation.

Vendors should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contract/order to the requirements of the solicitation.

III. Price Vendors shall submit a completed Price Schedule (Attachment II), and if applicable, executed copies of all Amendments, and executed Representations and Certifications. Price quotes shall be held firm for sixty (60) days after the closing of the solicitation. EVALUATION OF QUOTATIONS (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quotation conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written order in response to the vendor's quotation will be e-mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor. The Contracting Officer may ask the vendor to provide written acceptance of an order. In other circumstances the vendor may indicate acceptance by proceeding with the services ordered. Quotations will be evaluated as follows: a) Technical capability - Written Technical submittalb) Past performancec) Price TECHNICAL CAPABILITY FACTOR The company and its systems shall demonstrate its capability to meet or exceed the minimum requirements listed in this scope of work including the mandatory thirteen environmental training classes listed in Attachment J-1800000-03 and the three criteria below: 1.The courses available will be evaluated on technical accuracy in accordance with EPA, other Federal standards and regulations, and Final Governing Standards (FGS). The thirteen mandatory courses must be made available via a web site link for a minimum of five people who will validate the course content. User IDs and Passwords shall be provided for this review. Testing, grading, certificates, reports, and summaries shall be available for the reviewer for validation and evaluation. 2.IT and System components such as server capacity, hardware, software, ease of use, and technical support for your system and its 24/7 availability worldwide will be evaluated. 3.Administrative support and help desk capability, data collection and reporting for metrics on use and surveys, and your quality control procedures to support your system in accordance with the SOW will be evaluated. Note If the Contracting Officer determines that a vendor's Written Technical Submission is "unacceptable," that vendor's entire submittal may be determined to be technically unacceptable and may no longer be considered for further competition or award. PAST PERFORMANCE Past Performance will be evaluated after the Contracting Officer has completed the technical evaluation. The Contracting Officer, however, reserves the right to exclude vendors whose technical submittals have been determined to be unacceptable from further evaluation of past performance and price. Additionally, in the event a vendor submits a technically acceptable quotation with a non-competitive, high price when compared to the government estimate and/or other technically acceptable quotations, the Government, at its discretion, may not evaluate that vendor's past performance submission and eliminate that vendor's quotation from further evaluation and consideration for award. The Past Performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106. The Government will determine whether the vendor's past performance submissions are, in order of preference, relevant, somewhat relevant or not-relevant contracts based on three factors: scope, complexity and magnitude. Relevant - the past performance submission meets the criteria of all three factors.Somewhat relevant - the past performance submission meets the criteria of some of the three factors.Not-relevant - the past performance submission fails to meet the criteria of all three factors.For past performance submissions determined to be relevant or somewhat relevant, the Government will make a reasonable effort to collect and evaluate past performance information from the point(s) of contact identified by the vendor or, at the discretion of the contracting officer, other points of contact. The vendor acknowledges that the Government is not responsible if the point of contact provided by the vendor fails to respond to the Government's past performance inquiry. Vendors are also advised that the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any sources including sources outside of the Government, including Performance Assessment Reporting Systems (CPARS). The Government will evaluate the vendor's Past Performance in order to assess performance risk. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of a vendor's performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgment of the government after it considers all available, relevant and recent information. Vendors lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive a neutral rating for past performance. A neutral rating will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. However, the submittal with no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral in past performance, may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful quote when compared to the quotes of other vendors having an acceptable (or better) past performance. PRICE The vendor's proposed price will be evaluated on the basis of price reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. Vendors responding to this solicitation are advised that, prior to award, the government may request vendors to submit additional information/data to support price reasonableness such as copies of paid invoices for the same or similar items, sales history for the same or similar items, price list with effective date and/or copies of catalog pages along with any applicable discounts. Failure to submit the requested information may result in disqualification of the submitted quote. SELECTION The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract using the simplified acquisition procedures of FAR Subpart 13.1. The Government shall select the vendor whose quote is most advantageous to the Government, considering price and other factors (technical submission and past performance) when compared to other quotations. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced vendor. The Government also reserves the right to not award a contract if a contract award is not in the best interest of the Government. Please direct questions to Jen McDonald at (757) 322-8154 or jen.mcdonald@navy.mil. Vendor(s) must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database to be considered for award. Registration is free and can be completed on-line at http://www.ccr.gov/. (End of Combined Synopsis/Solicitation)
