The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) Technical capability; (ii) Past performance; and (iii) Price Offerors proposals will be evaluated first under Factor (i) above, which represents MINIMUM acceptable criteria. Under this factor, services offered will be determined to be either technically acceptable or unacceptable. A will comply statement without accompanying technical specifications and/or drawings of product being offered is automatic failure under this factor. Failure to meet the minimum criteria will render the offer to be technically unacceptable and may be removed from further competition. See paragraph (b) below. Only those Offers that are rated acceptable in Factor (i) will be further evaluated under Factors (ii), and (iii). Contract will be awarded to the offeror who is found acceptable in Factors (i) and (ii) and is the lowest price offer. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the Offerors best terms from both a price and technical standpoint. (b) Technical capability of the services offered to meet the government requirement. This factor has two sub-factors as follows: 1)Technical Approach: (2 page limit) The Offeror shall provide a narrative explanation of its understanding of, the methodology and ability to perform all tasks listed in the paragraph (3.1, 3.2, 3.3) of the PWS. The technical approach should demonstrate that the Offeror can accomplish the specified work in a technically competent, timely manner with a minimum of risk to the Government. The narrative should provide a complete analysis of the performance requirements and explain the processes, best practices and other methods the Offeror will use to meet each requirement stated in the PWS. The technical approach is not to be a restatement of the information contained in the PWS. Offeror shall include: - Sample student guide (not included into the 2 page count); - Sample student pre-course assessment (not included into the 2 page count); 2)Resumes: Key Personnel: Career Transition Instructor (CTI) Offeror shall include 1 resume for key personnel labor category CTI. If offeror is proposing part-time key personnel CTI, then offeror shall provide resumes for all part-time personnel required to perform the stated level of effort. The page limit is 3 pages for each individual resume. The contractor shall provide only personnel fully qualified and competent to perform the scope of effort set for the herein. The resumes shall address the knowledge, skills, education, experience and certifications set for the for each labor category that are needed to successfully perform the contract. The list shall further identify which personnel are currently on the Offerors payroll, which are currently on a proposed subcontractors payroll, and which have been offered and have accepted employment contingent on award of this contract. For each person proposed who is not currently on the contractor or subcontractors payroll, the Offeror shall provide a signed Letter of Intent with the individuals resume. Quality of the personnel proposed will be determined by the Navys evaluation of resumes submitted in terms of the merit of the individuals qualifications and any relevant information obtained from review of Government Past Performance reports. This information will be compared to solicitation requirements. Each resume shall provide the following information: --Name; --Present place of employment (if contingent hire, so note); --Proposed labor category; --Experience and educational background; --Unique skills, specific experience, and accomplishments that are directly applicable to the PWS; Both sub-factors must be rated acceptable to receive rating of acceptable in Factor (i). Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method Acceptable- Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable- Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation. (c) Offerors PAST PERFORMANCE information 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 three prior similar contracts performed within the past three years. Offers that lack relevant past performance history, will receive a neutral rating under this factor. Offerors shall use Offerors Past Performance Data format attached to this solicitation. The Contracting Officer will evaluate Offerors PAST PERFORMANCE as follows: Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method: Acceptable- Based on the offeror s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror s performance record is unknown. (See note below) Unacceptable- Based on the offeror s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or neutral ) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered acceptable . (d) 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.
