This solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are in effort through Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-03.

Questions are due April 14, 2025 at 3:00 PM EST and must be submitted in writing via email to Youhwei.Chen@dla.mil and Brandon.Awkerman@dla.mil. Questions will not be answered via telephone. Questions that occur after the cut-off, but are considered to be significant to the requirement, will be accepted and discussed only with those vendors that have submitted a quote. INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS: Submit quotes by email to both Youhwei.Chen@dla.mil and Brandon.Awkerman@dla.mil no later than the specified date and time. Attention should be noted to FAR 52.212-1(f), concerning late submissions. The offeror bears the risk of non-receipt of any email transmissions and should ensure that all pages of the quote have been received by the designated office before the deadline indicated. Email submissions by 5:00 pm one business day prior to the due date and time are encouraged to reduce the possibility of server or other cyber-related delays that may render your response as ineligible for consideration. Attachments include a Past Performance Questionnaire that is used to evaluate an offeror’s past performance. The offeror shall provide the Past Performance Questionnaire to the past performance reference they identify in this part of the quotes for the offeror, principal subcontractors and key personnel. The past performance reference shall independently submit the survey to the Contracting Officer prior to the closing date of the solicitation. Any completed past performance questionnaire received after closing date and time of this combined synopsis/solicitation, or directly from the offeror, will not be considered in the past performance evaluation. The US Government will not evaluate a reference listed in the past performance if no corresponding past performance questionnaire is received from a reference for that contract. This will have the effect of the offeror being given a Neutral rating for that portion of their overall evaluation, regardless of the type of experience or its similarity to this requirement. Past performance questionnaires must be received by the due date for receipt of quotes in order for the information to be considered. Offerors are cautioned that due to mail delivery times to the U.S., it is highly recommended that all contract references being asked to provide surveys be asked to scan the documents in Adobe.pdf format and email it to Youhwei.chen@dla.mil and Brandon.Awkerman@dla.mil with a reference to the solicitation, SP4510-25-Q-1027 in the subject heading. The submission of Past Performance is required. If an offeror does not have any past performance references, offerors must at least identify in their quote and state they do not have any past performance to provide. If the US Government only receives a past performance questionnaire from a past performance reference and there is no information in an offeror’s quote regarding that reference (see paragraph above), the reference will not be considered. The offeror is responsible for ensuring references submit past performance questionnaire; the US Government will not be contacting references for purposes of obtaining the questionnaire. Valid quotes must include: 1). Fully completed Price Schedule: The price schedule is attached and responding firms are required to complete and return the price schedule for all line items. 2). Past Performance Questionnaire Submittal: The Past Performance Questionnaire is attached and shall follow the Past Performance directions above. Late or no Past Performance questionnaire submissions will result in a neutral Past Performance rating. 3). Offerors shall provide the applicable CAGE code and Unique Entity Identifier with their bid submission and provide FAR 52.212-3 Offerors Representations and Certifications. Quotes received without the above identified information will not be considered for award. EVALUATION: Evaluation Factors For Award: Trade-Off Process. Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, past performance and price considered. The offer selected as best value will represent the best trade-off to the Government among past performance and price. Past performance will be significantly more important than price. The Government will determine best value on the basis of an assessment of the following factors: 1. Past Performance factor: The Government will evaluate past performance in accordance with the past performance questionnaire and evaluation clause in this combined synopsis/solicitation. 2. Price Factor: The Government will evaluate the offered prices for price reasonableness in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.404-1. Evaluation of Past Performance: Except under the circumstances notes in this combined synopsis/solicitation paragraph titled Efficiency in Competition, the US Government will evaluate the quality of the offeror’s past performance. The assessment of the offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the probability of success of the offeror. Thus, an offeror with a higher confidence assessment rating for past performance will have a higher probability of meeting the solicitation requirements than a firm with a lower confidence assessment rating. In investigating an offeror’s past performance, the US Government may consider information in the offeror’s quotes and information obtained from other sources, including past and present customers and their employees, other US Government agencies, including state and local agencies, consumer protection organizations and better business bureaus; former subcontractors; and others who may have useful information. Failure by the offeror to provide evidence of relevant performance on contracts of a similar nature in terms of performance timeframes and complexities of services provided will be considered by the US Government to have no relevant past performance. The offeror is responsible for ensuring references submit past performance surveys; the offeror’s reference must submit the past performance survey. The US Government will not accept past performance surveys submitted by the offeror or contact offeror references to obtain a completed survey. The US Government will evaluate past performance and experience in accordance with submission requirements of the solicitation. Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptable performance. The US Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of services. This is a matter of judgment. Offerors will be given an opportunity to address especially unfavorable reports of past performance, and the offeror’s response, or lack thereof, will be taken into consideration. Offerors lacking relevant past performance will not receive negative or positive consideration in the evaluation of this element as no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. Past performance will be rated on an adjectival scale. The US Government’s conclusions about the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance and experience will be a factor in determining the relative merits of the offeror’s quotes and in selecting the offeror whose quote is considered the most advantageous to the US Government. By past performance, the US Government means how well the offeror conformed to specifications and to standards of good workmanship; the offeror’s adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the offeror’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and the offeror’s business-like concern for the interests of the customer. By experience, the US Government means whether a contractors firm, principal subcontractor, or key personnel has performed similar work before. DLA Disposition Services will also consider the offeror’s past performance and experience on the same or similar contracts in terms of the complexities of the services provided. Offerors with no past performance will be issued a Neutral rating for past performance. Evaluation of Price: The offered price will be used in conjunction with the other factors to determine the quote, which represents the best value to the US Government. Price will not be numerically scored, but it will be fully evaluated using price analysis techniques. The following provisions and clauses are applicable to this solicitation: A.
