EVALUATION PART I: TECHNICAL EVALUATION. The Recruitment and Retention Plan will be evaluated as follows. Subfactor 1: The Recruitment Plan will be evaluated based upon on the ability and effectiveness of the approach to recruit qualified personnel. Subfactor 2: Retention Plan - Retention plan is based on the break down of the contractors compensation plan demonstrating employee salary amount and employee fringe benefits (ie training, health insurance, etc). Compensation plan will be evaluated as realistic in terms of its impact upon retention. A low, or no compensation plan, may be viewed as evidence of failure to comprehend the complexity of the contract requirements for geographic area where performance will take place. Compensation levels lower than those in the salary market for the geographic area for services will be evaluated on the basis of maintaining program continuity, uninterrupted high-quality work and availability of required competent service employees. The salary compensation will take into consideration the compensation plan in addition to the base salary. a. Written proposals will be adjectively evaluated and placed into one of the following categories, defined as follows: Excellent The proposal strengths demonstrate an excellent understanding of the requirements (example, experience in the specific area of service) and the new or proven approach significantly exceeds performance or capability standards. The proposal has several exceptional strengths that will significantly benefit the government. The proposal has no weaknesses, normal contractor effort and normal government monitoring will be sufficient to minimize risk. The proposal is extensive, detailed, and exceeds all requirements and objectives; therefore, has a high probability of meeting the requirements with little or no risk to the government. Good - The proposal demonstrates good understanding of the requirements and the approach exceeds performance or capability standards. The proposal has one or more strengths that will benefit the government. Any proposal weakness has little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increase in cost, or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal government monitoring will probably e able to overcome difficulties. The proposal generally exceeds requirements in minor areas; therefore, has a good probability of meeting the requirements with little risk to the government. Satisfactory Proposal demonstrates an acceptable understanding of the requirements and the approach meets performance or capability standards. The proposal has one or more strengths that will benefit the government. The proposal has no material weaknesses. Any proposal weakness can potentially cause disruption of schedules, increase in cost, or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close government monitoring will probably minimize any difficulties of risk. The proposal generally meets requirements; therefore, has an acceptable probability of meeting the requirements. Marginal The proposal demonstrates a limited understanding of the requirements and the approach only marginally meets performance or capability standards necessary for minimal contract performance. The performance has minor omissions and demonstrates a misunderstanding of the requirement that may be corrected or resolved through discussions without a complete revision of the proposal. The approach has weaknesses that can potentially cause some disruption of schedule, increase in cost or degradation of performance even with special contractor emphasis, and close government monitoring. Unsatisfactory The proposal demonstrates a misunderstanding of the requirements and the approach fails to meet performance or capability standards. The proposal has major omissions and inadequate detail to assure the evaluators that the offeror has an understanding of the requirements. The proposal proposes an unacceptable risk and cannot meet the requirements without major revisions. b. The Contracting Officer's determination for technical acceptability will be based only on the technical evaluation from technical evaluators. PART II: PAST PERFORMANCE. The offerors performance will be rated in terms of performance risk. A performance risk rating (low, moderate, high or neutral) will be assigned dependent upon the evaluators' assessment of the level of confidence in the offeror's performance record. In ranking offerors assessed in the same performance risk category, an offeror with experience in performing services will be ranked as a lower risk compared to an offeror with no or hardly any experience in performing services. Past Performance will be evaluated on performance under current and prior contracts for the last three years. The information which will be used for evaluation will be obtained from those presented in the Offeror's past performance documentation, the PPIRS (www.ppirs.gov), and any other Government sources. The Government may reject a proposal if it is found that any information that has a negative impact on the offeror's past performance record has been deleted, misrepresented, or withheld. -High Risk - Significant doubt exists that the offeror will satisfactorily perform the services on solicitation, based on preponderance of unsatisfactory performance records under the various factor evaluations, or offerors record of unsuccessful past and current contracts performance in fulfilling requirements similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation. Verification of past performance shows that offerors have consistently not met work schedules and other obligations, have defaulted on at least one contract within the past three years, or have chronically failed to meet contract terms. -Medium Risk - Some doubt exists based on instances of record of poor performance, especially in contracts similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation. Verification of past performance shows that offeror meets work schedules and specificed services most of the time, meets contract terms without failure or resolves issues immediately, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. -Low Risk - Little doubt exists, based on the offeror's preponderance of good, if not excellent past and current records of contract performance, especially in large contracts similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation.. Verification of past performance shows that offeror consistently meets work schedules, provides specified services, meets contract terms without failure, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. Neutral Risk No relevent past performance information. PART III: PRICE. Price will be evaluated separately from past performance and technical factors. and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonability in terms of: A. Consistency with the technical approach: That the prices are consistent with and reflect the proposed staffing requirement. B. Offerors are cautioned that an unrealistically low price, or unbalanced pricing of line items, as proposed initially or subsequently, may be a ground for eliminating a proposal, either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the required services, or he has made an imprudent offer. C. Compensation for health care providers (employee) shall not exceed $400,000 per year based on 1,920 hours.IAW Title 10 U.S.C. Section 1091 and DoD Instruction 6025.5. D. Impartial consideration will be given to all offers received in response to this solicitation. Offers will be evaluated to determine compliance with all requirements of the solicitation, including any attachments and exhibits. The evaluation criteria will be applied to all offers in the same manner. Each proposal will be evaluated strictly in accordance with its content and the Government will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the offeror's proposal. E. 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 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 option(s). F. 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 a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
