PART III- TECHNICAL PROPOSAL- Submit documentation, certifications, past contracts subtantiating Technical understanding of the proposal and experience required IAW the attached PWS. Addendum 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999) (a) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD- Lowest Price Technically Acceptable-The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions To Offerors, the offeror accedes to the terms of this synopsis/solicitation and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: The evaluation factors for the basis of award are 1) Price, 2) Past Performance and 3) Technical/Experience. Past Performance and Technical evaluation factors when combined are approximately equal to cost or price. 1. Price Evaluation. Initially, the government shall rank all proposals according to price, including option prices. An offeror's proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the CLIN Price List by the unit price for each item to confirm the extended amount for each NOTE: Extension of services option. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base year, as described below: (1) Estimated total amount of all options specified in the schedule under the authority of contract clause, FAR 52.217-9 "Option to Extend the Term of the Contract" will be added to the basic year requirement. (2) Estimated total amount of "Extended Service" option specified in the schedule under the authority of contract clause, FAR 52.217-8 "Option to Extend Services" will be calculated by the Government on the basis of potential maximum 6-month extension by use of the following formula. a. Applicable Contract Period for Extended Services (6 Month Max) 6- Month Total Amount Calculation Formula (Evaluation Purpose) Base Year Total Amount= (CLIN Unit Price) x 0.5* Option Year 1 (CLIN Unit Price) x 0.5* Option Year 2 (CLIN Unit Price) x 0.5* Note* 0.5 is the multiplicative factor used to derive the 6-months quantity value (3) The total amount of all options are for evaluation purposes only, since actual exercise of option year is contingent, and extension of 6-month is a maximum period granted under FAR 52.217-8 and actual period of extension is unknown until the extension becomes necessary. (4) Evaluation of options to be performed in accordance with this clause, will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (5) If exercised, this extension of services option will be priced at the prior base or option year performed price with the only adjustment allowed being those changes to the applicable Department of Labor wage determination and/or Collective Bargaining Agreement on contract at the time the option is exercised. 2. Performance Confidence Assessment. Using questionnaires and other sources, the contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information based on (1) the references provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Recent performance is contracts with periods of performance within the last three (3) years. Relevant performance includes efforts involving test administration that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this combined synopsis/solicitation. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Higher relevancy will be assessed for contracts that are most similar to the effort, or portion of the effort, for which that contractor is being proposed. The Government is not bound by the offeror's opinion of relevancy. The following relevancy definitions apply: TABLE 1- Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Description Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of the effort and complexities this solicitation requires Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of the effort and complexities this solicitation requires Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of the effort and complexities this solicitation requires Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of the effort and complexities this solicitation requires The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receive a "Substantial Confidence" performance assessment rating. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror's ability to perform the effort described in the combined synopsis/solicitation, based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence as defined below. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will be considered as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the offeror's performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence", meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. TABLE 2- PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS Rating Description SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the government has an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. LIMITED CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. NO CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE No recent/relevant performance record is identifiable or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is not judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" performance confidence assessment, the next lowest price offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offer is judged to have Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the proposal preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision. 3. Technical/Experience Evaluation- The Governement will evaluate the the substantiating documents verifying a technical understanding of the requirement and those certifications required and IAW the Performance Work Statement (PWS). A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
