EVALUATION/AWARD; IAW FAR 52.212-2, EvaluationCommercial Items, the Government will award a contract to the offeror whose proposal is judged to represent the lowest price technically acceptable. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror conforming to the solicitation that will be most advantageous to the Government. Award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Offerors are urged to ensure that their proposals are submitted on the most favorable terms to reflect their best possible potential. Proposals should not contain classified data. The technical proposal will describe the capability of their organization and any anticipated subcontractors to perform the work in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers. Factor 1- Technical Approach- Subfactor I- Understanding of the Requirement- The Government will evaluate the offerors understanding of the work to be performed in accordance with the PWS. The offeror shall submit a proposal that demonstrates its understanding of the work described in Part 5 of the PWS and the extent to which potential risks are identified and mitigated. Offerors are cautioned parrotingof the PWS with a statement of intent to perform does not reveal the offerors understanding of the problems or their capability for addressing it. Subfactor II- Quality Control Plan- The Government will evaluate the offerors Quality Control Plan (QCP) on how it demonstrates how they intend to monitor, inspect, and correct deficiencies for the requirements of the PWS. The Government shall incorporate the QCP in the contract that will result from this solicitation. The QCP will no longer be considered proprietary and will be considered releasable under FOIA. Factor 1, Technical, will be rated using the following Adjectival Scale. ADJECTIVAL DEFINITION AcceptableThe proposal demonstrates an approach which is capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. The approach includes strengths which significantly outweigh the weaknesses. The risk of unsuccessful performance is at least moderate, as the proposal solutions are feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered to reflect moderate risk in that they are clear and precise, fully supported, and demonstrate an understanding of the requirement. UnacceptableThe proposal demonstrates an approach which, based on a very high risk, will very likely not be capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. This approach has numerous weaknesses which outweigh the strengths. The risk of unsuccessful performance is very high as the proposal contains solutions which are not feasible and practical. The solutions are further considered to reflect very high risk in that they lack clarity or precision, are unsupported, and do not demonstrate a complete understanding of the requirement. Factor 2 Past Performance- The offeror will submit past performance of 3 current or previous contracts for relevancy (within the last 3 years) based on how well the contractor performed on projects of similar dollars value, scope and complexity. Offerors are advised that the Government may use past performance information obtained from the centralized past performance databases and sources other than those identified by the offeror and the information obtained may be used for both the responsibility determination and the best value decision. Profiles of contract efforts should include dates, location, types of contract, dollar values, descriptions of the work and references. References information should include the name, address, fax number and telephone number of the Contracting Officer or contract administrator. Phone interviews with the references submitted for the past contract efforts on similar work will be used to confirm those efforts and determine whether they met or exceeded contractual requirements. Reference should also be provided for any anticipated subcontractors to be used. The absence of past performance data will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The Government will evaluate the Past Performance Elements specified in the Past Performance Questionnaire, Attachment 1. Offeror shall distribute the questionnaire included in the solicitation as an attachment to their references so the form can be completed and submitted directly to the Government. Factor 2, Past Performance, will be rated using the following Adjectival Scale ADJECTIVALDESCRIPTION Low RiskLittle doubt exists, based on the Offerors performance record, that the Offeror can perform the proposed effort. Moderate RiskSome doubt exists, based on the Offerors performance record, that the Offeror can perform the proposed effort. High RiskSignificant doubt exists, based on the Offerors performance record, that the Offeror can perform the proposed effort. Unknown RiskLittle or no relevant performance record identifiable; equates to an unknown risk rating having no favorable or unfavorable evaluation significance. Factor 3 Small Business Participation Plan and Small Business Subcontracting Plan (1) SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN EVALUATION APPROACH. All offerors (both large and small businesses) will be evaluated on the level of small business commitment demonstrated for the proposed acquisition in accordance with the below evaluation factors: a. The extent to which such firms, as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in proposals; b. The extent of commitment to use such firms (enforceable commitments will be weighted more heavily than non-enforceable ones); c. The complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform; d. The realism of the proposal; e. Past performance of the offeror in complying with the requirements of the clauses at FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns, and for all large business offerors, FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan; f. The extent of participation of such firms in terms of the value of the total acquisition; and g. The extent to which the offeror provides detailed explanations/documentation supporting the proposed participation percentages, or lack thereof. The minimum subcontracting goals listed below for this procurement are a percentage of the total acquisition value. Small Business: 23% Small Disadvantaged Business: 5 % Women-Owned Small Business: 5 % Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Small Business: 3% Veteran Owned Small Business: 4% Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business: 3 % Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions: 2 % (NOTE: Because SDB, WOSB, HBCU/MI, HUBZone, SDVOSB are sub-categories of small business, a firm can be counted in more than one category. For example, if a participation plan reflects 5% of the contract value for a Women-Owned Small Business, the WOSB would also count towards the overall Small Business Goal). Total acquisition value equals the cumulative dollars obligated on the contract. Progress will be assessed by the contracting officer at the end of the base period, each option period, and at completion of the contract. I.SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN Each Large Business offeror shall provide a Small Business Subcontracting Plan that contains all the elements required by FAR 52.219-9. Offerors shall adhere to the format outlined in 52.219-9. Goals shall include percentage and dollar goals to be subcontracted for overall small business and sub-categories of small business with a separate part for the basic contract and separate parts for each option (if any). This plan shall be submitted separately from the Small Business Participation Plan. The plan is evaluated as ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE during source selection evaluations. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan is a mandatory requirement for award to large businesses and shall be included in and made a part of the resultant contract. Small Business Participation Plan Evaluation Criteria The merit of the Small Business Participation Plan with respect to the evaluation criteria listed in items a through g above will be assessed by the Government against the adjectival ratings listed below. Note: The level of risk is also included in this assessment. Outstanding: The plan has exceptional merit and reflects an outstanding approach for attainment of all goals and objectives; includes numerous advantages and no disadvantages; very good probability of success with very low degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. Good: The plan demonstrates a sound approach and is expected to meet all goals and objectives; offers advantages and few minor disadvantages; good probability of success with low degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. Acceptable: The plan demonstrates an acceptable approach and is expected to meet nearly all goals and objectives, advantages are not outweighed by the disadvantages; moderate probability of success with overall moderate degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. Unacceptable: The plan demonstrates a very high risk approach that will very likely not be capable of meeting all goals and objectives; disadvantages far outweigh advantages; very high risk of unsuccessful performance. Subcontracting Plan Evaluation Criteria ACCEPTABLE The plan meets all FAR 19.704 statutory requirements. Detail has been provided to support an acceptable approach for assisting, promoting and utilizing small businesses. Has demonstrated ability to meet prior subcontracting goals. One, but no more than two subcontracting goals is less than the minimum targets outlined in the final solicitation document or contract modification. Some rework of document may be required to correct omissions and establish realistic, challenging and attainable goals. UNACCEPTABLE The plan fails to meet most of the FAR 19.704 statutory requirements. No acceptable approach has been provided to assist, promote and utilize small businesses. Prior subcontracting goals met most of the time. Proposed subcontracting goals appear to reflect less than a good faith effort. Substantial rework of document is required to correct omissions and establish realistic, challenging and attainable goals. Failure to receive a rating of no less that acceptable will jeopardize proposal from being considered for contract award, see FAR 19.702(a)(1). Factor 4 Price- Price proposals will be evaluated for reasonableness and to determine the best overall value to the Government. The offeror shall also provide a detailed breakout of all labor categories and other costs that are associated with the work specified in the Performance Work Statement. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total of all CLIN prices, including all options to ensure that pricing is not unbalanced. No adjective ratings will be used to evaluate price.
