The ratings applied to Technical Capability will be Acceptable, Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable, or Unacceptable. The criteria is met when the Company's Business Plan: a. Demonstrates an understanding of the support requirements in the customer environment and the ability to provide the expertise and experience to accomplish the required tasks as listed in the Performance Work Statement. b. Shows an ability to quickly respond to emerging long-term and short-term support requirements. c. Explains how airplanes will meet the minimum close air support requirements.

The price will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness IAW FAR 15.305(a)(1). The stated exchange rate in AFFARS 5352.225-9004 applies. (3) Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated based on subjective assessment of how well the offeror performed on past, recent and relevant work. Offeror must receive a Satisfactory rating to be eligible to receive an award. This rating is based upon offeror-provided information indicating performance of flying (close air support) services as follows: Satisfactory: The offeror has provided information of satisfactory contract performance within the criteria outlined in 52.212-1(b) (10). Unsatisfactory: The offeror has failed to provide information of satisfactory contract performance within the criteria outlined in 52.212-1(b) (10). Unknown: No record of relevant past performance is available. If no past performance is available, the offeror will receive a "Neutral" rating and will not be eligible for award. The standard for a satisfactory past performance rating is met when the information submitted by the offeror and/or the information found by the government shows: a. Excellent safety records (Accident free and no loss of life). b. Close communication with customers. (i) The Past Performance information may be obtained from the following sources: (A) Reference List (B) Past Performance Questionnaires (C) Past Performance Information available from other sources such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). (ii) Past Performance Questionnaire: The contracting officer will evaluate relevant performance information (PPQs) on the lowest priced offeror based on the references provided by the offeror and data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. The assessment process will result in an overall performance rating of Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, or Unknown. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be considered as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating "unknown", meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. A "Satisfactory" past performance rating may be considered more advantageous to the Government than an "Unknown" rating. (4) Award Process: The Government will make award to the technically acceptable, lowest priced offeror with a Satisfactory past performance rating. The Government will first evaluate all proposals for technical acceptability. All technically acceptable or reasonably susceptible proposals will then be subject to past performance evaluation. If the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror's past performance is determined to be "Satisfactory", the evaluation process will stop and the award will be made to that offeror. If the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror's past performance is determined to be other than "Satisfactory", the Government will evaluate the past performance of the next lowest offeror that was rated "Acceptable" for Technical Capability. This process will continue, as needed, until an offeror is rated "Satisfactory" for Past Performance. This offeror will receive the award. If the lowest priced offer with "Satisfactory" past performance is rated "Susceptible to Being Made Acceptable" in Technical Capability, the Government reserves the right to open discussions to determine "Acceptability". (c) 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.
