In accordance with the FAR clause 52.212-2, the following information applies: (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Factor I - Technical Capability to Perform and to meet the requirements of the solicitation Factor II - Past Performance Factor III - Price. Offerors' proposals will be evaluated first under Factor I above, which represents the minimum acceptable criteria. Under this factor, the proposal will be determined to be either technically acceptable or unacceptable. Failure to meet the minimum criteria for this factor will render the offer to be technically unacceptable and to not be considered for award. See paragraph (b) below. Only those offers which meet the minimum technical requirements required by Factor I will be further evaluated under Factors II and III. In the second step of evaluating those offers determined under Factor I to be technically acceptable, Factor II is less important than Factor III. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore, contain the offeror's best terms from both a price and technical standpoint. (b) Technical capability will be assessed by evaluating the information submitted in response to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, as amended above. Offerors' technical information will be used to determine whether the proposal meets the statement of work and purchase description included in this solicitation. Description of technical approach and capabilities offered, as provided in the offeror's technical proposal, will be evaluated as technically acceptable or technically unacceptable. Offers which are determined to be technically unacceptable may not be considered further for award (c) Offerors' past performance information submitted, as required by the proposal contents information set fort above, will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors should therefore provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance for up to five similar contracts. The Contracting Officer will evaluate Past Performance as follows: NEUTRAL: No relevant past performance available for evaluation. Offeror has asserted that it has no relevant directly related or similar past performance experience. Proposal receives no merit or demerit for this factor. OUTSTANDING: No risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of any degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon offerors past performance. SATISFACTORY: Very little risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon the offerors past performance. MARGINAL: Significant potential risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, and of degradation of performance based upon the offerors past performance. All responsible Offerors are to submit current pricing, payment terms, cage code, Dunn and Bradstreet number, Tax Identification Number and all applicable specifications regarding this solicitation. In accordance with the FAR clause 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items (Jan 2006) Paragraph (b)(4) is tailored to read as follows: The technical proposal shall address your understanding of the proposed work and your proposed method of approach to attain contract objectives. The technical approach shall be such as to enable Government personnel to make a thorough and complete evaluation of the proposal and arrive at a sound determination as to whether or not the proposal describes and satisfies the requirement of the Government.
