FAR 52.212-3—Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items (Apr 2016) EVALUATION FACTORS The Government will use FAR 12.602 Streamlined Evaluation of Offers evaluate offers submitted in response to the synopsitation. The factors that shall be used to evaluate proposals are Technical, Past Performance and Price, as expounded below. All evaluation factors are equal in importance; however, a proposal is unawardable at any price if, after final evaluation, either the Technical or Past Performance factor receives a rating of “Unacceptable.” The evaluation does not permit tradeoffs between price and non-price factors. Award will be made to the responsible offeror who submits a proposal that (1) conforms to the requirements of the solicitation; (2) that receives a rating of “Acceptable” on both the Technical; and (3) that submits the proposal with the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP), provided that the TEP is not unbalanced and is fair and reasonable. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending upon (1) the quality of proposals received and (2) the fair and reasonableness of the pricing of proposals received. FACTOR 1 - Technical: Pursuant to evaluation of all requirements, the Technical factor will receive and overall rating of either “Acceptable,” or “Unacceptable” using the rating and descriptions below: Acceptable: Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable: Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirement of the solicitation In determining whether a technical proposal is Acceptable or Unacceptable, the Government will consider the extent to which the technical proposal demonstrates the offeror’s ability to satisfy the information below. The proposal must include: 1) License Subfactor: A valid United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC) or current Agreement State license and any renewal documentation. 2) Tritium Recycling: The contractor must submit existing process and mechanism for recycling/reuse of the tritium and/or the commodities. 3) Past Performance or Prior Experience: This subfactor is met when the offeror provides proof of having performed Tritium recycling/reuse for items outlined in the PWS. The offeror must provide evidence that it has provided services similar in scope to the work defined in the PWS and accomplished these services within the past three years. Proposals shall reflect past experience details to include locations and customers contact information, types and quantities of services provided, and frequency of service. FACTOR 2 - Price: Price proposals will be evaluated for (1) Completeness, (2) Unbalanced Pricing. (3) Fair and Reasonableness, and (4) Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Price List: Fill out the attachment 3 “Price List,” found in Section J of this solicitation. Fill out Columns E (Cost per Device) and F (Total). 1. Completeness: The Government will review the pricing submissions for completeness and compliance with solicitation clause FAR 52.212-1 and this document “Recycling Tritium – Combined Synopsis.” 2. Unbalanced Pricing: The Government will analyze each proposal to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to prices proposed on different Fiscal Year(s) pricing for the same or similar services and/or supplies across the same or similar quantities. An offer may be rejected if the Contracting Officer (CO) determines that the option prices are significantly unbalanced or that otherwise unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. 3. Fair and Reasonableness: The offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated using price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-I(b) or DFARS 215.371-3 if only one offer is received. 4. Total Evaluate Price (TEP): The government will add the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement to arrive at a total evaluated price (TEP). The TEP will be calculated as: a. The sum of the extended prices (Total and Total 2% Increase) for years 2020 through 2025; and b. Please refer to the table in Attachment 6 (Recycling Tritium - Combined Synopsis) which illustrates a calculation of a proposal’s TEP using the methodology described above. The table is provided for illustration purposes only. Prices reflected in the table are notional and in no way reflect the actual value of the requirement or an actual evaluation of proposed prices submitted in response to this solicitation or any other solicitation for the same or similar requirements. Evaluation Process: (a) The Government will initiate concurrent evaluation of all evaluation factors on all proposals. The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of a proposal including whether any proposal deficiency can be rectified and whether any uncertainty can be resolved. The judgment of such "correction potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. (b) If pursuant to initial evaluation, the Government rates the Technical factor as “Unacceptable” or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror’s proposal, and in the Government’s judgment, the deficiency is rectifiable or the uncertainty is resolvable; the Contracting Officer (CO) may open discussions and may continue discussions as long as, in the Government’s judgment, the deficiency is rectifiable or the uncertainty is resolvable. (c) For the purpose of conducting discussions, if the Government rates the Technical factor as “Unacceptable” or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror’s proposal, the entire proposal will be rated “Unacceptable.” At the conclusion of discussions, if the Technical factor is rated “Unacceptable” or if any deficiency or uncertainty relative to the proposal has not been unresolved, evaluation of that proposal will be considered final. The entire proposal will be rated “Unacceptable” and no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award. (d) For the purpose of award without discussions, if pursuant to initial evaluation, the Government rates the Technical factor as “Unacceptable” or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror’s proposal, notwithstanding that any deficiency may be rectifiable or any uncertainty may be resolvable, the entire proposal will be rated “Unacceptable,” the initial evaluation will be the final evaluation, and no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award. Before a proposal's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a proposal(s) (or part of a proposal), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
