FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein: The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforms to the solicitation; is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered; and provides the best value to the Government in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(ii) and FAR 2.101. The following factors are approximately equal when evaluating quotes: Price and Past Performance. Technical approach will also be a factor considered when reviewing offers. Factor: PRICE Price will be evaluated as follows: Completeness: Upon receipt of quotes, the contracting officer will screen quotes to ensure they are complete, and all required information and pricing are present. This will be done quickly, and in the most minimally burdensome fashion, as determined by the contracting officer. Price Reasonableness: The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is based on competitive quotations, as outlined in FAR 13.106-3(a)(1), but price reasonableness may also be determined through price analysis techniques, as described in FAR 13.106-3. Total Evaluated Price: The TEP is comprised of the total contract value (base and all options) plus the 6-month option available at FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. Pricing for FAR 52.217-8 is determined by taking the average “amount” of the base and four (4) options and dividing by two (2). Factor: PAST PERFORMANCE a. The Government will seek recent, relevant past performance and will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable scale as defined below. Information will be based on one (1) past efforts provided by the contractor and (2) data independently obtained from other Government or commercial sources in order to determine the Quoter Acceptable/ Unacceptable. Only a total of three (3) previous efforts will be evaluated. DEFINITION RATING Based on the Quoter's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the Quoter's performance record is unknown. Acceptable Based on the Quoter's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Unacceptable b. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. Recent contracts are contracts which have been performed within the last five (5) years from the date of the issuance of this solicitation. c. Relevant performance includes information provided on performance efforts involving group exercise instruction that involved similar scope/complexity, magnitude of effort, contract type, and contract environment this solicitation requires as identified in the table of Relevancy Definitions below: Relevancy Definitions Assessment Area Relevant Scope/Complexity Contractor shall provide/furnish all labor, uniforms, material, supervision and transportation necessary to provide Group Exercise Training services at Dover Air Force Base, DE 19902 for all group fitness classes as defined in this statement of work. Magnitude Performed on contracts/task order with a value of approximately $100K. Contract Type Performance under a FFP task order/contract or purchase order. Contract Environment Contract performance on a DoD installation within the United States. d. In the case of a Quoter 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 Quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance IAW FAR15.305(a)(2)(iv). Therefore, the Quoter shall be determined to have unknown or neutral past performance. Unknown or neutral past performance, in the context of acceptability/ unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered acceptable. Factor: TECHNICAL APPROACH Technical Approach/Plan: Shall clearly explain how the quoter intends to ensure successful contract performance IAW the SOW. Quotes shall not simply rephrase or restate the SOW or contain general statements such as "Standard procedures will be employed". Quotes shall provide convincing rationale addressing how the technical portion of the Quote meets solicitation requirements.
