The Bid Schedule shall be for: ITEM NO. 0001: Non-personal recurring services to provide Lab tests to the 31st medical group in accordance with the attached Performance Work Statement (Attachment 2, consisting of 7 pages). THE PRICE WILL BE INSERTED ON THE SCHEDULE (Attachment 1, consisting of 9 pages). The following provisions and clauses apply to this acquisition: FAR 52.204-7 CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (Oct 2003) FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS?COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Jan 2006), FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Jan 1999) (a) The Government will select the best overall offer based on a comparative assessment of Price and Past Performance, whereby price may be traded off for past performance. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers (1) Technical Competency (2) Past Performance (3) Price: ADDENDUM to 52.212-2: BASIS FOR AWARD: This is a competitive, best value acquisition for which competing offerors? past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than cost or price. This is a Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) source selection, conducted in accordance with Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) 5315.101-1. By submission of its offer, in accordance with the instructions provided in FAR provision 52.212-1, the offeror accedes to the terms of this contract and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. In order for an offer to result in an awardable contract, it must meet the technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, to include resume? all certifications verifying conformance with Italian Laws & Regulations specific to this type of service. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: Technical Competency: The Government?s technical evaluation team shall evaluate each offer by verifying that it contains the relevant proof of accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) AND Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) (Attach certificates to your offer): (1) Only offers rated technically acceptable will be considered for further evaluation. Past Performance Evaluation: In order for the Government team to evaluate this factor, the offeror must return the Past Performance questionnaire, Attachment 3, consisting of 3 pages, which will contain three (3) performance references completed on this form. The performance references will consist of companies for which the offeror has recently performed work. References must be of comparable magnitude and similar in nature to the work required under this solicitation. Past Performance Evaluation will be rated as follows: Exceptional: Indicates that the offeror?s qualifications are clearly superior to that which would normally be found in the international commercial marketplace. The offeror?s past performance record is so fundamentally sound that there is no doubt in the offeror?s ability to perform the requirement. Very Good: Indicates that the offeror?s qualifications are above industry standards that would normally be found in the international commercial marketplace. The offeror?s past performance record presents little doubt of the offeror?s ability to perform the requirement. Satisfactory/Neutral: Based on the offeror?s performance record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort or no past performance record is available. .Marginal: Indicates that the offeror?s qualifications are below industry standards that would normally be found in the international commercial marketplace. The offeror?s past performance record presents significant doubt in the offeror?s ability to perform the requirement indicating a medium level of performance risk. Unsatisfactory: Indicates that the offeror?s qualifications are clearly inferior to that which would normally be found in the international commercial marketplace. The offeror?s past performance record is so fundamentally flawed that there is no doubt in the offeror?s inability to perform the requirement indicating a high level of performance risk. Price Evaluation Factor: For award purposes, the offeror will be evaluated on the TOTAL price of all CLIN(S), contained in the Schedule (Attachment 1). All offers must include prices for all line item(s). Failure to include all price(s) will exclude the offer from further consideration for award. Evaluation process: Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer constitutes the best value to the Government. Best value will be determined based on an integrated assessment of each quote in terms of Technical Competency, Past Performance and Price. Therefore, subjective judgment by the government is implicit in the evaluation process. Prices/Options: The contracting officer will verify any mathematic extensions of prices submitted and then rank offers by prices, including option prices. An offeror?s proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantity of months by the proposed monthly rate to confirm the lump sum of each line item. 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 options. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors; however, it reserves the right to conduct discussions, if deemed in its best interest.
