(viii) Conditions for Evaluation: Factor 1: Technical Capability The Offeror shall provide information in its proposal that states whether it is able or unable to provide all requirements described in the SOW and can or cannot meet all deliverables within the Government's desired timeframe. As part of Factor 1, all offerors must submit a web-accessible link, demonstrating the full capability of an existing dashboard, using a sample set of railcar tracking data. Factor 2: Past Performance The offeror shall submit up to three past performance references relevant in both size and scope to its ability to execute their overall technical approach as described in Factor 1. The Offeror shall list and describe performance (prime and subcontract) on at least three (3) present or past contracts, either Government or commercial, that were in existence at any time during the past three (3) years (from the date of RFQ release) that directly relate to the Offeror's ability to provide the requirements as described its overall technical approach. The Offeror shall emphasize the most recent government or commercial contracts. The Offeror's list of relevant information may include any instances within the past 3 years where the Offeror performed the same services described within the overall all technical approach. The list must include the following, as a minimum, for each contract or instance of performance: (a) Name of contracting activity and contract number, if any; (b) Period of performance; (c) Dollar values and contract pricing arrangements (i.e. fixed price, cost reimbursable, etc.); (d) Brief description of the contract work, location(s), and conditions of performance; (e) Contracting Officer name, and current address and telephone number; and Program Manager (PM) name, and current address and telephone number; Name, and current address and telephone number of the Offeror's responsible manager(s) for each contract.

Factor 3: Price The Offeror shall provide a firm fixed price for the base and all four option periods under this requirement. (ix) FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items (April 2014) applies to this acquisition. Full text versions of this clause may be obtained electronically at http://www.arnet.gov/far. (x)) FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (JAN 1999) This is a commercial item acquisition. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose quotation conforms to the solicitation requirements, provides an acceptable overall technical approach, and offers the lowest price, and favorable past performance. This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach. A decision on the technical acceptability of each offeror's quotations will be made. For those offerors determined to be technically acceptable, award will be made to that vendor with the lowest overall price and acceptable past performance. The Government may, at its discretion, decide to first identify the low price offeror, and then determine if its proposal offers an acceptable past performance and technical approach. If so, award will be made to that offeror. If not, the agency moves to the next lowest priced proposal to determine if it is technically acceptable with acceptable past performance, and so on until award is made. The Government intends to make an award based on the initial quotations. If further questions are required, the contracting officer may contact the offeror or offerors. The Government will evaluate information based on the following evaluation criteria: (1) Technical Capability, (2) Past Performance, and (3) Price. Technical Capability and Past Performance are of equal importance, and when combined are equal to Price. Factor 1: Technical Capability The Government will evaluate whether the Offeror is able to provide all requirements described in the SOW, and can meet all deliverables within the Government's desired timeframes. Factor 2: Past Performance The Government will evaluate the offeror's capability to perform under the contract by evaluating the Offeror's past performance on previous similar contracts. Only past performance data regarding relevant past performance completed within the last three years, or work that is ongoing, shall be evaluated. The lack of relevant past performance information will result in the assignment of a neutral rating (i.e., neither favorable nor unfavorable). Factor 3: Price The Government will evaluate price for reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1. The Government will award a single contract to the offeror whose technically acceptable proposal represents the lowest price to the Government.
