Per FAR 15.304(c)(4) the extent of and methods used to develop subcontracting possibilities for small disadvantaged business concerns will also be evaluated. B. Past Performance The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the contract requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgment by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information. When assessing performance risks, the Government will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it related to all acquisition requirements such as cost, schedule, and performance, including standards of good workmanship; the administration aspects of performance; the offeror's reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the offeror's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. (See Section L for submission requirements.) Past performance findings will be highly influential in determining the relative merits and risks associated with the offeror’s proposal in a comparative assessment with all competitors. The Government will evaluate the reputation and quality of the offeror’s past performance. The assessment of the offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offeror to other offerors. Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based upon consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. The Government is seeking to determine whether an offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of services at fair and reasonable prices. Offerors will be given an opportunity to address unfavorable reports of past performance, and the offeror’s response, or lack thereof, will be taken into consideration. In investigating the offeror’s past performance, the Government will consider references submitted by the offeror and may consider information from other sources. C. Price/Cost Evaluation Price/Costs shall be provided in the format identified in Section L and will be evaluated on the basis of cost realism. (See Section L for submission requirements.) As discussed in FAR 15.404-1(d), cost realism analysis is the process of independently reviewing and evaluating specific elements of each offeror's proposed cost estimate to determine whether the estimated proposed cost elements are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirement; and are consistent with the unique methods of performance and materials described in the offeror's technical proposal. Realism of prices and costs against technical/management proposals may be evaluated as a part of the overall evaluation. Costs will be evaluated as an objective and subjective factor. All cost and pricing information required by Section L shall be provided and will be used to determine its allowability, allocability and reasonableness relative to the work to be performed under the proposed contract. The negotiated rates for field overhead, prime’s overhead on subcontractors, prime’s home office overhead, and prime’s profit will be incorporated into the successful offeror’s contract and will be applied to the direct costs of all contract modifications, additive and deductive, (excluding modifications to exercise options).
