This is a best value procurement. The Government may select to award to other than the lowest price offer, utilizing a trade off source selection process based on the evaluation of the non-cost factors. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers which are listed in descending order of importance: 1. Past Performance 2. Technical Capability 3. Price Past performance and technical capability, when combined, are significantly more important than price. As the technical merits are equal in standing, price will become more important. (b) 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 written notice of withdrawal is received before award. (End of provision) Evaluation Factors: 1. Past Performance: Past performance consists of two aspects for evaluation, past performance relevancy and performance confidence. The first aspect is to evaluate the offeror's past performance to determine how relevant the effort accomplished is to the effort being acquired. Common aspects of relevance include similarity of service/support; complexity; dollar value; contract type; and degree of subcontract/teaming. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance which results in an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the PWS requirements. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to establish a confidence assessment rating. This rating is the result of determining how well the contractor performed the relevant past performance as it pertains to the PWS. 1.1. Offeror's shall provide a minimum of two (2), not to exceed four (4), past performance references for efforts performed within the past 3 years that are of similar scope, size, and complexity to the requirements outlined within the PWS. Offeror shall provide: a brief description of the contract work performed; reference point of contact to include name, telephone number, and e-mail address; contract number; dollar value of the contract; and dates of contract performance. It is not sufficient to state that the reference is similar in size, scope and complexity, a rationale must be provided to demonstrate that it is comparable. Projects completed or are in progress that are described in the narrative will be evaluated for scope and degree of support to DOD, other federal agencies, or other comparable organizations. 1.2. Offeror's shall describe any problems encountered in the performance of similar services and describe how the problems was/were resolved. 1.3. Past performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program managers, Contracting Officers, Fee Determining Officials, and the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). 1.4. In the case where an offeror is without a record or where no relevant past performance exists within the offeror's organization or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Offeror's lack of past performance will be evaluated as an unknown/neutral rating having no favorable or unfavorable impact on the evaluation. 1.5. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings: Very Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Not Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. 1.6. Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings: 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 a reasonable 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 successfully perform the required effort. Unknown Confidence (Neutral) - No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonable assigned. 2. Technical Capability: The offeror shall define their technical expertise which indicates a thorough understanding of the PWS. The offeror shall provide documentation of knowledge and expertise of personnel required to perform the necessary tasks of the PWS. 2.1 Technical Capability Ratings: Outstanding - Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low. Good - Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low. Acceptable - Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate. Marginal - Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high. Unacceptable - Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable. 3. Price: A price analysis of the offer will be used to evaluate the total price to support the selection and that the price proposed is fair and reasonable.
