As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows: Evaluation—Commercial Items (Oct 2014) Technical, Past Performance and Price are in descending order of importance. Technical is more important than past performance. Technical and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. The importance of price in the evaluation will increase with the degree of equality among quotations of the non-price factors. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “ACCEPTABLE” must be achieved for the technical capability evaluation factor. For Past Performance, the offeror must receive a rating of no less than ‘SATISFACTORY confidence’ to be considered for award. However, Offeror’s which receive an unknown (neutral) past performance rating will be considered for award. PART I: TECHNICAL Each of the Technical sub factors will be assessed individually and the results will then be assessed in their totality to derive the Offeror’s Technical rating. In no event will the overall factor rating exceed the lowest sub factor rating. An unacceptable sub factor rating will result in an unacceptable factor rating. The Offeror's proposal will be evaluated against the SOW’s Description of Services and Requirements. The evaluation process will consider the following: The following adjectival ratings will be used in evaluating each Offeror’s technical proposal. Color Rating Description Blue Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low. Purple Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low. Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate. Yellow Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high. Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is un-awardable. PART II: PAST PERFORMANCE The past performance evaluation results is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the Offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. Offeror’s are cautioned that in conducting present and past performance evaluations, the Government may use data provided in the Offeror’s proposal, any other source available to the Government and data obtained from other sources to include, but not limited, to data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. The Government will evaluate Quality of Performance (how well the contractor has performed on contracts). All Contractors shall provide a minimum of three (3) references. References should demonstrate the ability of the Contractor to perform jobs similar in scope to the size, nature and complexity of the outlined Proposal. The references shall include the: • Company name, address, contact person, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, if available, and number of years Contractor has serviced the referenced account; • Scope of Work performed within the past three (3) years for each referenced account. • Total yearly value of the contract work performed The following ratings shall be used for the Performance Confidence Assessment. 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. PART III: PRICE Price will be evaluated separately from the technical and past performance factors and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonability in terms of the Government’s requirement.
