The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Delivery - Ability of the offeror to provide the product/services in the time specified in the solicitation document. Ability to meet specification -Ability of the offeror to provide the product/services based on the specifications as spelled out in the solicitation shall be included in your proposal package. Material Data Safety Sheet shall be included in your proposal package. Past performance Offerors will be evaluated on their record of relevant, and recent past performance, from the Business Questionnaires submitted, and information received from past contracts and any additional-data obtained by the Government, i.e., current contracts. Relevant past performance is defined as having a record of actual performance or accomplishment in the production of Wire Decking on contracts similar in scope to the requirement being evaluated. Recent past performance information is defined as contracts performed within the last three (3) to five (5) years. In evaluating offerors past performance, the Contracting Officer will consider the following: adherence to contract schedules, cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction, and the timeliness of performance taking into account excusable delays. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the corrective action taken. The Government shall consider this information, as well as information obtained from any other sources, when evaluating the offerors past performance. Prompt corrective action in isolated instances may not outweigh overall negative trends. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Price Technical factors are significantly more important than price. Quality, delivery, and customer service will be evaluated under past performance. The relative order of importance of the evaluation factors, such as in descending order of importance as listed above Technical and past performance, when combined, are more important than price. (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. The following are the adjectival ratings: Poor Unfavorable Marginal More unfavorable than favorable Good More favorable than unfavorable Excellent Entirely favorable (a) Twelve (12) months after contract award date, and every twelve (12) months thereafter, contract prices for the succeeding twelve (12) month period may be adjusted in accordance with the change in Producer Price Index for PCU325998325998, "Other miscellaneous chemical product manufacturing" using the simple percentage method described in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Escalation Guide for Contracting Parties, available at http://www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm (calculated as follows: index at time of calculation, divided by index at time base price was set, and the result multiplied by base price, equals adjusted price).")]. IT IS THE CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REQUEST THIS ADJUSTMENT. (b) Adjustments may be requested after the preliminary price index for the month of the anniversary of contract award has been published but not to exceed 90 days after the eligible adjustment date (i.e., anniversary of the contract award date). Requests that are made after the 90-day limit will not be honored and the contract pricing will not be adjusted. The contractor shall submit any requests for adjustments in writing to the contracting officer. Requests shall include a copy of the relevant index and must be within the allowed time period for adjustment. Any adjustments authorized as a result of the adjustment request will not be retroactive. The date the completed request is received by the contracting officer will be the effective date of any changes in price. Economic price increases will not be granted if the contractor has any past due orders at time of request. (c) The contractor also is required to request downward price adjustments. All downward adjustments will be retroactive to the authorized adjustment date as specified in this clause. If downward price adjustments are not requested and this is later revealed through audits or otherwise, the contractor shall reimburse the Government the amount overcharged plus interest. Interest will be computed at the rate set annually by the Secretary of the Treasury for late contract payments. Interest will accrue from the date the adjustment should have been made. (d) In computing any price adjustment, the preliminary/first-published index for the month and year of contract award will be compared to the preliminary/first-published index for the contract anniversary month of the adjustment year. This index is not seasonally adjusted. If this index is temporarily unavailable or permanently discontinued, the contracting parties shall either use the index one level up (i.e., the broader index under which the selected index was listed) or agree in writing upon a substitute index. (e) No adjustment shall be made if the referenced change is less than 2%. Total upward adjustment for the contract period, including any option periods, shall not exceed 10% of the original contract base price, based on the original or option period contract price; downward adjustments are not limited.
