Past Performance information shall include referenced company name, point of contact, phone, email, and description of the vendors performance for the referenced company. 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows: Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014) (a). The Government anticipates awarding a contract to the offeror whose proposal provides the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered, and award may be made to other than the lowest priced proposal. The Government will evaluate proposals based on the following factors: (1) Price (2) Past Performance Past performance is considered significantly more important than price. (b). If the lowest price offeror recieves a subtantial performance confidence assessment rating, that offeror represents the best value to the government and the evaluation ends. If the lowest price offeror does not receive a substantial performance confidence assessment rating, the government will continue the evaluation process until an offeror recieves a substantial rating. FACTOR 1 - PRICE: (1) The government shall rank all offers by price. For the purpose of selecting the successful offeror, Past Performance is considered significantly more important than Price. Price will be evaluated for affordability, reasonableness, and balance. (2) Proposed total and unit prices will be evaluated to determine if prices are unreasonably high or low in relation to the government's independent price estimate. FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE: Beginning with the lowest priced, offeror, the contracting officer shall seek recent and relevant performance information on offerors based on (1) the past efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. 1. Recent performance includes projects performed within the past three years. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving Weapons Range cleaning similar in scope and magnitude considering area to be cleaned type of material removed as this requirement Very Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved a higher magnitude of effort and complexities, in terms of combat skills training provided and number of students trained, in comparison to this solicitation requires. Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved the same magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved some of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Not Relevant - Present/past performance did not involve any of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror's probability of meeting the solicitation requirements based on the offeror's demonstrated past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence as defined below. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no recent/relevant performance history or if the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably (neutral). Table A-2, Performance confidence Assessments Rating Description SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. LIMITED CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. NO CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. 2. Each Offeror shall furnish a list of no more than five references of "recent" and "relevant" projects that have occurred. The following information for each contract referenced: (i) Company/Division name (ii) Service Provided (iii) Contracting Agency/Customer (iv) Contract Number (v) Contract Dollar Value (vi) Period of Performance (vii) Verified, up-to-date name, address, FAX, email and telephone number of the contracting officer (viii) Comments regarding compliance with contract terms and conditions (ix) Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions. In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP.
