(End of Provision) ADDENDUM TO VAAR 852.273-73 DEFINITIONS As used in this part: (a)"Offeror" means a vendor that submits a response (i.e. quotation) to the Government's Request for Quotation (RFQ). (b)"Offer" means a quotation (to include documentation in support of the evaluation criteria) submitted in response to the Government's Request for Quotation (RFQ). RESPONSE (a)This requirement is being solicited under the authority of Public Law 104-262, FAR Part 12, FAR Part 13, and VAAR 873. (b)Offers are to be submitted in two parts: 1) a price response and 2) a non-price response to the evaluation factors. Both responses are to be submitted together; however, the non-price and price responses shall be separated into two severable parts. The pricing response shall consist of the completion of the price schedule, the signed Immigration and Nationality Act Certification form, and a copy of the offeror's certificate of insurance. The non-price response shall address the non-price evaluation criteria. (i)The cover page shall include the name and address of the organization submitting the quotation and point(s) of contact to include e-mail address and phone number. The point of contact shall have the authority to bind and make representations for the organization relative to the quotation and any contract resulting from the offer. (ii)The non-price response to the quotation shall not have any reference to price and/or cost. These items are to be included in only the price response which includes the price schedule. (iii)In order that each quotation be properly evaluated, it is required that each offeror respond to all items in the order as they appear in the evaluation criteria below. Quotations shall be organized with each section appropriately identified. (iv)The VA will not pay any cost incurred in preparation and submission of quotations. (c)Every precaution will be taken to safeguard non-price responses against disclosure to unauthorized persons. Any reference to price or cost within the non-price response shall be removed. The non-price response will be informally evaluated for completeness to ensure that all solicitation requirements are addressed. (d)Responses will be evaluated for both technical merit and price reasonableness. In order to provide full consideration of qualifications for contract award, offerors are encouraged to ensure that the information furnished in support of the technical response is factual, accurate and complete. The Government reserves the right to verify any information provided for evaluation purposes. (e)The Government intends to award without exchanges. The Government is not obligated to request any additional information from an offeror who does not provide sufficiently detailed information of which an accurate evaluation can be made of an offeror's quotation. Failure to submit complete information in the manner described above for the non-price response may be grounds to consider the offeror "Non-responsive" and exclude the proposal from further considerations. It is, therefore, in the offeror's best interest to submit all required documentation to the fullest degree possible. If an offeror cannot provide all information required by the evaluation factors, a statement documenting each omission shall be included in the offeror's quotation addressing the omission(s). BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD (a)This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12, FAR Part 2 13 and VAAR 873. The Government will select the best overall offer, based upon an integrated assessment of evaluation factors listed in the section entitled Evaluation Criteria. Contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, whose offer conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the Performance Work Statement) and is judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation factors to represent the most advantageous to the Government. As part of making the assessment, a best value analysis will be performed determining whether or not exceeding the minimum requirements at an associated price provides the best value to the Government. THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AWARD TO OTHER THAN THE LOWEST PROPOSED PRICE. However, the degree of importance of price as a factor in determining award could become greater depending upon the equality of the offers evaluated in the non- price factors. The greater the equality of offers within the non- price factors, the more important price becomes in selecting the best value to the Government. Unrealistically proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating an offer from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unreasonable/unrealistic proposal. (b)Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers received for less than the stated number of items listed in the schedule may be considered ineligible for award. The Government, however, reserves the right to make an award for any item from any offeror for a quantity less than or equal to the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer. EVALUATION CRITERIA (a)Offers will be evaluated in accordance with the following factors: Factor 1: Technical Capability Subfactor A: Staffing Plan Subfactor B: Equipment Subfactor C: Management Plan Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Socio-Economic Status Factor 4: Price The relative importance of each factor is shown in descending order of importance. Sub-factors are of equal importance. Non-price factors when combined are significantly more important than price. FACTOR 1 Technical Capability: The Offeror shall demonstrate understanding of the requirements of the Performance Work Statement and produce an offer that will meet those objectives. The offer will be evaluated based on the proposed approach to perform the work. Subfactor A: Staffing Plan - The staffing plan should contain sufficient number of nurses that are qualified to work under the contract. Provide specific information as to how your firm proposes to meet the requirements of the performance work statement, to include the following information: i.Staffing plan that shows scheduling pool of providers, response times, and how scheduling issues will be addressed (i.e. in cases of illness of scheduled provider, etc.). ii.Resumes, certifications, licensing, skills assessments, and training of all proposed nurses showing requisite experience as a dialysis provider. iii.Three references for each proposed nurse with current contact information for each. iv.Letters of intent signed by proposed nurses acknowledging they will be required to be credentialed and willing to submit to a background investigation. Subfactor B: Equipment - The Offeror shall specify the type of equipment proposed, to include manufacturer name and model number, in addition to the following information: i.Maintenance schedules of all equipment that are reflective of manufacturers' recommended timetables. ii.Offerors' Standard Operating Procedures concerning the maintenance and upkeep of equipment. Subfactor C: Management Plan - Provide documentation showing how your company plans to meet the requirements of the contract to include: i.Response times for cases. ii.Offerors' standard protocols/procedures for the provision of dialysis services. iii.Quality assurance plan, patient care issues, performance issues. iv.Credentialing and privileging of providers. v.Equipment - maintenance, upkeep, and upgrades. FACTOR 2 Past Performance: The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an Offeror's likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The following assessments will be performed by the Government when evaluating past performance: a)Provide references from other entities with whom your organization has contracted with or had agreements with to provide dialysis services within the last three years. The services provided should be of similar size and scope. The references shall address your organizational ability to provide services and the quality of the service provided. Please provide contact information to include telephone number and e-mail address. b)Provide all malpractice and lawsuit information pertaining to the provision of dialysis services within the last three years. FACTOR 3 Socio-Economic Status: Provide SDVOSB and VOSB status if applicable to the offer. The greater the equality of offers within the non-price factors and price, the more important this status becomes in selecting the best value to the Government. Preference will be given to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, or Veteran Owned Small Business whose offer is equal to or exceeds all other offers in non-price and price factors and provides the best value to the Government. Furthermore, preference will be given to the Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business whose offer is equal to or exceeds the offers of any Veteran Owned Small Business and provides the best value to the Government. FACTOR 4 Price: Price analysis will be used to determine that the prices are fair,and reasonable, in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-3(a). The Government will consider an offeror's compliance with the instructions to be indicative of the type of conduct that it may expect from the offeror during contract performance. Therefore, failure to comply with these instructions may be grounds for exclusion of the offer from further consideration.
