(End of clause) 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999) a. Basis for Contract Award (1) This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). Award will be made to a single offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable offer. (2) Trade-offs between cost/price and non-cost/price factors are not permitted. Unreasonably high/unrealistically low, unbalanced, inaccurate or incomplete price quotes, may be the grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. The Government will evaluate proposed prices for reasonableness using price analysis techniques. Proposed prices evaluated as unreasonable may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. b. Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers received for less than the stated number of items listed in the Bid Schedule will be considered ineligible for award. As set forth in FAR 52.215-1 (f)(4), the Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), Clarifications and award without discussions). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In the event that discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of quotes that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of quotes in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated quotes. c. Evaluation Criteria (1) Evaluation criteria consist of factors. The quotes will be evaluated under three evaluation factors: Factor 1: Technical Factor (Oral Presentation) Subfactor 1: Rhythm Subfactor 2: Technique Subfactor 3: Harmonic Accuracy Subfactor 4: Style Subfactor 5: Expression Subfactor 6: Music Preparation Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. (2) Factor 1 - Technical Factor. The Technical Factor evaluation provides an assessment of the offeror's capability to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. A written technical proposal is not required. Oral presentations will be used to determine technical capability. The Oral presentation shall consist of playing, on the piano, the song specified below. Performance will be evaluated using the Technical Evaluation Criteria in the table below. The oral presentations are scheduled for Monday 14 July 2014 at 12:00 noon Central Daylight Time. All offerors submitting quotes shall meet at the Ft. Leonard Wood Contracting Office, 5772 Iowa Ave, and we will proceed from there. Please provide the names of all individuals who will be representing your firm at the oral presentation to Dominique Howard, Contract Specialist, dominique.c.howard.civ@mail.mil no later than July 11, 2014. Song: quote mark 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) quote mark Matt Redman - Sing Like Never Before: The Essential Collection ISBN: 9781480329881 Any contract awarded as a result of this solicitation will be non-personal services in nature. The employee performing for the Offeror at the oral presentation does not necessarily have to be the employee who will perform all or any portion of the services should a contract actually be awarded. However, the Offeror must affirm that the quality of the performance provided at the oral presentation is indicative of the capabilities of its musicians and that the actual personnel providing contract services will possess musical capabilities which meet or exceed the capabilities of the individual performing for the oral presentation. Technical Evaluation Criteria SubfactorsMinimum Acceptable Requirements RhythmVirtually no rhythmic errors; groove is confident. TechniqueAppears to perform without significant effort; able to execute demanding passages with ease. Harmonic AccuracyAn occasional isolated error, but pitches and voicings are accurate and secure. StyleUnderstands subtle stylistic differences; comfortable with non-keyboard timbres in performance. ExpressionTypically performs with nuance and expression. Music PreparationPerforms selection with minimal preparation. Each technical subfactor will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below. The technical evaluation criteria outlines the minimum acceptable requirements, therefore, a rating of quote mark unacceptable quote mark on any subfactor will result in an overall technical factor rating of quote mark unacceptable. quote mark Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings RatingDescription AcceptableOral presentation clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. UnacceptableOral presentation does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. (3) Factor 2 - Past Performance. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the offeror's probability of meeting the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. Past Performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror's recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems and State Department Watch Lists. Past performance areas of evaluation include: - Quality of Service - Schedule Compliance - Customer Satisfaction (a) Each offeror will receive a performance confidence assessment rating based on the Offeror's recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the Contract requirements. (b) Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated. (c) Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature of work, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation. Recent past performance is defined as not more than three years from the RFP release date; relevant in terms of similar nature of work, size and complexity. A relevancy determination of the offeror's (including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)) past performance will be made. 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. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror's contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. The past performance information provided in the proposal and obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance. (d) The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. (e) Assigning Ratings. The Past Performance Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings RatingDescription AcceptableBased on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. UnacceptableBased on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. (f) Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, quote mark unknown quote mark shall be considered quote mark acceptable. quote mark (4) Factor 3 - Price. Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b). Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete and balanced. 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 an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, and 1/2 of the 2nd option. Offerors are not required to enter a price for the six-month period. Unbalanced Pricing may be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk which could result in unreasonably high prices Definitions. Reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. Completeness/Accuracy. The offeror's proposal is in compliance with the Price Volume instructions in the solicitation. quote mark (End of provision) 52.217-8 OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES (NOV 1999) The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days prior to end of contract. (End of clause) 52.217-9 OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (MAR 2000) (a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor within 15 days provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 30 days before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension. (b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause. (c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 36 months.
