(JUN 2005) 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999) ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following: Impartial consideration will be given to all offers received in response to this solicitation. Offers will be evaluated to determine compliance with all requirements of the solicitation, including any attachments and exhibits. The evaluation criteria will be applied to all offers in the same manner. Each proposal will be evaluated strictly in accordance with its content and the Government will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the offeror's proposal. PART I: TECHNICAL EVALUATION. A. The Compensation and Retention Plan will be evaluated to determine the adequacy of the offeror's proposed compensation and retention plan to recruit and retain quality individual health employees. The primary determinant will be the base salary paid to the individual HCP. Offerors must propose a base salary which is at least commensurate with salaries paid for similar health care providers in the local area in order to be technically acceptable. This salary in almost all instances exceeds the prevailing wage rates in the Department of Labor's wage determination for a locality. The Government has developed an independent government estimate (IGE) based upon its assessment of base salaries paid in the local area as well as salaries paid on current contracts. The IGE will be used as the baseline in determining the adequacy of the salaries proposed by the offerors. Compensation plans will be evaluated as realistic in terms of its impact upon recruitment and retention. A low, or no compensation plan, may be viewed as evidence of failure to comprehend the complexity of the contract requirements or appropriate compensation levels for geographic area where performance will take place. Offerors which propose low base salaries, particularly below rates paid in the local area, will have the burden of establishing that their plans will result in the recruitment and retention of quality personnel and the uninterrupted performance of services throughout the life of the contract. B.Reasonable and realistic pricing: That the proposed prices are calculated based on reasonable and realistic assumptions. For very low rates (inflation rate, profit, G&A, overhead, management costs substantially lower than published industry standards or company experience), the offeror has satisfactorily explained why such rates will not affect the quality of services proposed to be provided under this contract. C. Written proposals will be adjectively evaluated and placed into one of the following categories, defined as follows: Acceptable - The proposal demonstrates an acceptable understanding of the requirements and meets performance standards. The proposal has no material weaknesses and strengths that will benefit the government. The offeror's proposal has an acceptable probability of meeting the requirements. Unacceptable - An unacceptable rating will be assessed on any offeror that presents a proposal that demonstrates any of the following: (1) Fails to clearly and comprehensively address each of the factors. (2) Fails to provide sufficient detail for the Government to determine whether the proposal satisfactorily meets the minimum requirements of this solicitation in addressing the factors. (3) Fails to clearly demonstrate that the offeror fully understands and is technically capable to perform the requirements at its total proposed price. Note: To receive consideration for award, a rating of acceptable must be achieved in all technical factors. PART II: PAST PERFORMANCE. The offeror's performance will be rated in terms of performance risk. A performance risk rating (low, moderate, high or neutral) will be assigned dependent upon the evaluators' assessment of the level of confidence in the offeror's performance record. In ranking offerors in the same performance category below, an offeror with past performance in performing the same or similar services may be ranked as a lower risk compared to an offeror with no or hardly any experience in performing services. Past Performance will be evaluated based on assessments of the offeror's performance under current and prior contracts for the last three years. The information which will be used for evaluation will be obtained from those presented in the Offeror's past performance documentation, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/cparsmain.htm, and any other sources. The Government may reject a proposal if it is found that any information that has a negative impact on the offeror's past performance record has been deleted, misrepresented, or withheld. Past performance surveys should be based upon the performance of like services to those in this solicitation. Offerors must receive either a low risk or neutral risk ranking to be considered for award. -High Risk - Significant doubt exists that the offeror will satisfactorily perform the services solicited, based on a preponderance of unsatisfactory performance records, or the offeror's record of unsuccessful performance of past and current contract in fulfilling requirements similar to the size, type, and complexity of the services under solicited. The offeror has consistently not met work schedules and other obligations, has defaulted on at least one contract within the past three years, or has chronically failed to meet contract terms. -Medium Risk - Some doubt exists based on limited instances of poor performance, especially in contracts similar in size, type and complexity of the services solicited. The offeror mets work schedules and specified services most of the time, met contract terms without failure or resolved issues immediately, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. -Low Risk - Little doubt exists, based on the preponderance of the offeror's good, if not excellent, past and current records of contract performance, especially in large contracts similar to the size, type, and complexity of the services solicited. The offeror consistently meets work schedules, provides specified services, meets contract terms without failure, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. Neutral Risk - No relevant past performance information is available or has been received by the Government. PART III: PRICE. Price will be evaluated separately from the technical and past performance factors and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonability in terms of: A. Pricing that is consistent with and reflects the proposed staffing requirement in comparison to Government Estimate and previous Government and Commercial contracts. B. Offerors are cautioned that an unrealistically low price, or unbalanced pricing of line items, as proposed initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal, either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the required services, or he has made an imprudent offer. C. Options: The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that the offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). D. Compensation for health care providers (employee) shall not exceed $400,000 per year for personal services IAW Title 10 U.S.C. Section 1091 and DoD Instruction 6025.5. E. All vendors prices must be deemed to be fair and reasonable to qualify for award.
