The completed schedule of prices for each period of performance, Attachment 2; The completed DLA Disposition Services - Contractor Representative, PWS Section 0.0; The completed provision 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (if any changes applicable to this solicitation exist for the offeror�s www.sam.gov registration); The completed provision 52.209-7, Information Regarding Responsibility Matters; The completed provision 52.229-11, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements-Notice and Representation. VOLUME II � Past Performance Information shall contain the following: Identify references that may be returning the PPI Questionnaire on your behalf. BASIC AND OPTION PERIOD UNIT PRICING (a) Offerors are cautioned against offering more than one price, a range of prices, or a split bid with respect to any contract line item and are advised that, for purposes of this procurement, DLA Disposition Services will consider any such method of pricing to be a material deviation from the bid schedule and/or a nonconforming proposal that will be excluded from further consideration. Offerors must list only one price for any individual CLIN in any single contract period. NOTE: Zero ($0.00) unit pricing will NOT be accepted. (b) Unit prices which exceed two (2) digits right of the decimal will be subject to standard rounding conversion as described below. (c) Standard Rounding Conversion � Rounding up means to increase the terminating digit by a value of 1 and drop off the digits to the right. If the next place beyond the terminating decimal is greater than or equal to five (5), the number will be rounded up. For example, 5.438 will be rounded up to 5.44. If the number to the right of the terminating decimal place is four or less (4, 3, 2, 1, 0), the number will be rounded down. This is done by leaving the last decimal place as it is given and discarding all digits to its right. For example, 6.734 will be rounded down to 6.73. PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION (PPI) PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS (1) The offeror shall provide PPI for up to 3 contracts where they were the prime or a subcontractor performing the same or similar services within the last 2 years. Within the three-contract limit, the contractor can also provide principal subcontractor past performance. (2) For each contract, provide: a valid name and telephone number, contract number, contract type, dollar value, contract award date and completion date, description of work performed, and name and e-mail address of a point of contact. If submitting a contract performed as a subcontractor, include information on the extent of the work performed in relation to the contract as a whole. The description of work performed for each contract shall be in sufficient detail to explain how it is the same or similar to the requirements of the instant solicitation in areas such as number of pickup locations, complexity, scope, and magnitude of the services to determine the relevancy of the referenced work. Additionally, if performance deficiencies occurred, the offeror shall identify what the deficiencies were and detail what corrective action they took, if any. Offerors may meet these requirements by including a completed page 2 of the questionnaire within Volume II of their offer. (3) If an offeror elects to provide principal subcontractor past performance, the offeror shall provide the principal subcontractor�s consent allowing the Government to disclose negative past performance information to the offeror. (4) The Government will evaluate up to three contracts submitted by the offeror. If an offeror identifies more than three contracts in its past performance proposal, the Government will evaluate the first three contracts in the order listed in the offeror�s past performance proposal. Current or past contracts with Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services will not be used for evaluation unless they are identified in the past performance proposal (See II (2) of �Addenda to FAR 52.212?2 Evaluation,� Evaluation of Past Performance, for exception of using PPI for contracts not identified). (5) Attachment 15 contains a PPI questionnaire that is used to evaluate an offeror�s past performance. The offeror shall provide the PPI questionnaire in Attachment 16 to the past performance reference for contracts it identifies in its proposal. The past performance reference must independently submit the completed PPI questionnaire to the point of contact listed in the solicitation for submittal of offers prior to the closing date of the solicitation. A completed PPI questionnaire for a reference is not required for any DLA Disposition Services Hazardous Waste Disposal contract that is included in an offeror�s past performance proposal. The Government will not consider in an offeror�s evaluation any completed PPI questionnaire received after the date offers are due or directly from the offeror for that reference in the past performance evaluation unless the Government has other past performance data readily available (See II (2) of �Addenda to FAR 52.212?2 Evaluation,� Evaluation of Past Performance) to evaluate the reference. Offerors are responsible for ensuring their references submit PPI questionnaires directly to the point of contact listed in the solicitation for submittal of offers; the Government will not be contacting references to obtain a questionnaire/survey on behalf of the offeror. (6) The submission of a past performance Volume II is required from all offerors. If offerors do not have any past performance, they must at least identify a Volume II in their proposal and state they do not have any past performance to provide. Otherwise, they may be considered non-responsive and excluded from the competition. If the Government only receives a completed PPI questionnaire from a past performance reference and there is no information in an offeror�s proposal regarding that reference, the reference will not be evaluated or considered as a reference for the offeror�s past performance proposal. PERIOD FOR ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS 52.212-1(c) is revised as follows: The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of initial offers. ADDENDA TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION SOURCE SELECTION METHOD -- BEST VALUE (a) Trade-off Process Past Performance and Price: Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, past performance and price considered. The offer selected as best value will represent the best trade-off to the Government among past performance and price. Past Performance will be significantly more important than price. The Government will determine best value on the basis of an assessment of the following factors: Past Performance factor � The Government will evaluate past performance in accordance with the Past Performance Proposal and Evaluation clause in this solicitation. Price Factor � The Government will evaluate the offered prices for price reasonableness in accordance with the requirements of FAR Part 13.106. (b) 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 total evaluated price will be for the base period and any option periods, plus an additional (20%) of the value of the last priced performance period in the bid schedule. This additional sum is for evaluation purposes only to address the possible use of FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, for a period not to exceed 6 months. Please note that if the FAR 52.217-8 option is exercised, the applicable unit prices for the option will be the same as the immediately preceding period of performance. Therefore, if the option under FAR 52.217-8 is exercised prior to the end of the base period, the unit prices from the base period will be used during the extension period. If the option under FAR 52.217-8 is exercised prior to the end of any option period, the unit prices from the applicable option period will be used during the extension period. PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Evaluation of Past Performance (1) Except under the circumstances noted in the solicitation paragraph titled Efficiency in Competition, the Government will conduct a Performance Confidence Assessment for each offeror based upon submitted current, relevant PPI as it relates to the expectation of the offeror being able to successfully perform the requirement. There are two aspects to this evaluation: (1) The determination of relevance to this solicitation in scope, magnitude and complexity and (2) How well the offeror performed on its contracts. Past performance will be rated on an adjectival scale. Thus, an offeror with a higher confidence assessment rating for past performance will have a higher expectation of meeting the solicitation requirements than a firm with a lower confidence assessment rating. The Government�s subjective evaluation of the overall quality of an offeror�s submitted PPI will be a factor in determining the relative merits of that offeror�s proposal and in selecting for award an offeror whose proposal is considered the bestvalue to the Government. (2) In addition to using independently submitted and timely questionnaires received in evaluating past performance, the Government may consider information in the offeror�s proposal using readily available information obtained from other sources, including but not limited to the Contractor Performance Reporting System (CPARS), DLA Disposition Services personnel administering DLA Disposition Services contracts, past and present customers and their employees, other government agencies, including state and local agencies, consumer protection organizations and better business bureaus, former subcontractors, and others who may have relevant information. The Government may also consider negative information for contracts that are not included in the offeror�s past performance proposal if it is determined that the offeror did not identify that contract due to performance problems and/or the contract was for hazardous waste disposal services with the same or similar requirements as the solicitation within the last 2 years. (3) Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptable performance. This is a matter of judgement. Offerors will be given an opportunity to address especially unfavorable reports of past performance, and an offeror�s response, or lack thereof, will be taken into consideration. (4) In the case of an offeror without an identifiable record of past performance or for whom information on past performance is unavailable and/or a corresponding PPI questionnaire was not independently received by the Government before the date offers are due, the offeror will not be assessed either favorably or unfavorably on Performance Confidence, as the degree of confidence known to the Government cannot be adequately determined and is therefore unknown. EFFICIENCY IN COMPETITION Offerors are advised that the US Government ...
