Addendum to 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items (Oct 2018) 1) Inquiries - Inquiries and all correspondence concerning this solicitation document should be submitted in writing to James Rall, at james.rall@noaa.gov, and Andrew Hildebrandt, at andrew.hildebrandt@noaa.gov, by 2:00 EST on March 15, 2019. The Government is not required to provide responses to vendor's inquiries or correspondence. 2) Quotation Preparation The following instructions apply for the submission of quotes: a. Quotes shall be submitted in three (3) separate volumes: Volume I - Past Performance Volume II - Technical Volume III - Price b. The technical volume shall NOT contain any reference to price. It is incumbent upon the Quoter to provide a technical volume in sufficient detail to provide a clear and concise presentation that includes, but is not limited to, the technical requirements of the RFQ. c. The Government will evaluate quotes in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in FAR 52.212-2 of this RFQ. 3) Quote Instructions a. Past Performance: Past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the vendor to successfully meet the requirements of this solicitation. Vendors are required to provide information on no more than five (5) of the firm's most recently completed contracts/orders (not to exceed three (3) years since completion) for like or similar work. Vendors may submit performance data regarding current contract performance as long as a minimum of one year of performance has been completed as of the closing date of this solicitation. Each Quoter shall submit, in writing, information on past performance (10 page limit). Quoters shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contract/order to the requirements of the solicitation. In addition, the Quoter is required to send Attachment 02, Past Performance Questionnaire, to those government and commercial activities provided by the Quoter in their submission. The information shall be completed by the references who will then forward the completed questionnaires to the following: James Rall james.rall@noaa.gov (Cc andrew.hildebrandt@noaa.gov) U.S. Department of Commerce/NOAA/ERAD The Government will not accept Questionnaires directly from the Quoter. Only Questionnaires submitted on time and from the Quoter's references will be accepted. The Government will conduct a past performance evaluation based upon the past performance of the vendor as it relates to the probability of vendor to provide the Government with quality service as covered within the solicitation. Quoters are cautioned that the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any sources including sources outside of the Government. The Government will obtain whatever information it deems most relevant to the required effort by telephonic and/or written inquiry. This information may include Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS); Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) reports, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity System (FAPIIS), or past performance information from any source. The burden of providing thorough, complete, and demonstrated relevant past performance information rests with the Quoter. Any Past Performance Questionnaire(s) received at the Government office designated herein after the exact time specified for receipt of past performance information is "late" and may not be considered for evaluation. If the Quoter possess no relevant past performance, it should affirmatively state so in the quote. Quotes lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive a neutral rating for past performance. A neutral rating will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. However, the submission with no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral in past performance, may not represent the most advantageous submission to the Government when compared to the submissions of other Quoters having a satisfactory (or better) past performance. b. Technical: Each Quoter shall submit a technical submission (10 page limit). The technical submission should be sufficiently specific, detailed and complete so as to clearly and fully demonstrate that the Quoter has a thorough understanding of the requirements set forth in the Statement of Work (SOW) and has the ability to perform the work. Quotes which merely state that requirements are understood and will be complied with, which paraphrase the specification document, the SOW or parts thereof, or use phrases such as "standard consulting practices will be employed", or "well established techniques will be employed", etc., may be considered unacceptable. The technical submission shall include, but is not limited to, the following: i. Proof of ability to obtain $100K liability insurance in State of Florida. ii. Demonstrate experience and availability of trained technicians/staff. iii. Ability to obtain access to Federal facility. c. Price: The Quoter shall submit all information required for the line items included within this solicitation. The quoted prices for the line items will be added together and used for evaluation purposes to determine the best value to the government over the base year, inclusive with each subsequent option year, over the life of the contract. The quoted prices will also be used to determine reasonableness. 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items. (Jan 2017) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following non-price factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: • Past Performance • Technical Past Performance is the most important factor. Past Performance and Technical, when combined, are significantly more important than price. However, the Government will not award at significantly higher prices to only achieve slightly better performance. The Government will assess the benefits or better performance versus the added price through trade-off analysis. As non-price factors become equal-price becomes increasingly important. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding purchase order without further action by either party. Before the quote's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
