FAR 52.212-2 - Evaluation - Commercial Products And Commercial Services (NOV 2021) applies to this acquisition. (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. Factors others than price shall be considered, and a Price/Technical Tradeoff analysis of both price and non-price factors will be conducted in evaluating each quote submitted. Trade-off considerations may result in the determination that it is in the best interest of the Government to award to other than the lowest priced Vendor or other than the highest technically rated Vendor. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: The Government will evaluate quotes based on how well the proposed product(s)s meet the requirement of the Specifications Attachment. Vendors will be evaluated from Excellent to Unacceptable on above parameters. The Technical capability rating methodology is as follows: Rating Abbreviation Risk Level Definition Excellent E Very Low Risk The proposal contains no deficiencies or weaknesses. Based on information provided, there is no doubt that the vendor demonstrates an exceptional understanding of the specifications required to meet or exceed most contract requirements. The highest quality of contract performance is anticipated. Very Good VG Low Risk The proposal contains no deficiencies and only a few minor weaknesses that do not require discussions. Based on the information provided, there is little doubt that the vendor demonstrates a high quality of understanding of the specifications required to meet or exceed some contract requirements. Satisfactory S Moderate Risk The proposal contains no deficiencies and some weaknesses. Based on the information provided, the Vendor demonstrates an understanding of the specifications required to meet contract requirements. Poor P High Risk The proposal contains deficiencies and significant weaknesses. Based on information provided, there is doubt that the contractor understands the specifications required to meet the contract requirements. Requirement can be met only with major changes to the proposal. Unacceptable U Unacceptable Risk Technical proposal has many deficiencies and/or gross omissions; failure to understand much of the scope of work necessary to perform RFQ NO. N00173-24-Q-TG04 the required tasks; failure to provide a reasonable, logical approach to fulfilling much of the government's requirements. For the purpose of evaluation of Technical Capability, the Vendor shall provide documentation that confirms the proposed solution is capable of meeting and/or exceeding all the Government’s required specifications. Vendor shall include a copy of the quoted system’s manufacturer’s specifications. (2) General statements, that the vendor can or will comply with the requirements, that standard procedures will be used, that well known techniques will be used, or that paraphrases the RFQ's specifications in whole or in part, will not constitute compliance with the mandatory requirements concerning the content of the technical quote. 2. PAST PERFORMANCE: • IAW DFARS 252.213-7000, the contracting officer shall consider data available in the statistical reporting module of the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) regarding the supplier’s past performance history for the PSC and/or NAICS of the supplies being purchased. • Ratings: o Low Risk: SPRS Supplier Risk Score of Blue, Purple, or Green, indicating a higher score in SPRS and are therefore, considered to have a lower risk of poor contract performance o High Risk: SPRS Supplier Risk Score of Yellow or Red, indicating a lower score in SPRS and are therefore, considered to have a higher risk of poor contract performance o Neutral: In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the NAICS or PSC of the supplies being purchased, the supplier may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history. 3. PRICE REASONABLENESS: The Government anticipates making a determination of fair and reasonable price based on competitive quotes. If only one response is received, the Government may use other methods as described at 13.106-3(a)(2). Based on the factors above, Technical Capability is more important than Supplier’s Past Performance and Supplier’s Past Performance is more important than Price Reasonableness. Award on Initial Responses; Exchanges with Best-Suited Contractor The Government anticipates selecting the best-suited contractor from initial responses, without engaging in exchanges with vendors. Vendors are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and price in response to this RFQ. However, the Government may engage in limited exchanges to clarify certain aspects of quotes. Once the Government determines the contractor that is the best-suited (i.e., the apparent successful contractor), the Government reserves the right to communicate with only that contractor to address any remaining issues and revise quotes, if necessary, and finalize an award with that contractor. These issues may include technical and price. If the parties cannot successfully address any remaining issues, as determined in the sole discretion of the Government, the Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges with the next best-suited contractor and address any remaining issues and revise quotes, if necessary, and finalize an award with that contractor. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer 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 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 RFQ NO. N00173-24-Q-TG04 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.
