Complete Business Mailing Address Checklist for quote submittal: - This page of the solicitation completed as the first page in the package - Signed acknowledgement of SF 18 - Signed amendments if applicable - Completed Provisions (including 52.204-24, 52.204-26, and others as applicable) Ensure that your firm is registered in System for Acquisition Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov Quotes shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for an effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims and/or approaches. The Quote should not rephrase or restate the RFQ. Submission Requirements: Factor 1: Technical Approach The technical approach factor focuses on the Quoter's capabilities and general understanding of the requirement to assess how the quote satisfies the PWS provided by the Government in the solicitation. Element 1.1- Capability Statement (Not to Exceed 3 pages) The vendor shall demonstrate a full understanding of the requirements in the PWS and how those requirements will be met during the identified period(s) of performance. The Government will assess the Quoter's overall capabilities, including how the vendor intends to meet the service requirements of the PWS, the types and training levels of dogs proposed for the requirement and handler experience and technical qualifications. Offerors must demonstrate capabilities in relation to the requirements as set forth in the PWS and this RFQ. Element 1.2- Quality Control Program (No Page Limit) IAW PWS section 2.5, The Contractor must submit one copy of a detailed Quality Control Plan (QCP) with their quote. The plan will be site specific and inform the Government Authorized Representative how the work, supervision, project management and follow up will be performed in this contract to ensure compliance with all requirements. The Government will assess the Quoter's overall plan, including how the vendor intends to meet the Performance Requirements Summary in the PWS and how well the QCP relates back to addressing the elements of the PWS. Factor 2: Past Performance a. An evaluation of offeror's past performance information will be conducted subsequent to the technical evaluation. The offeror must have demonstrated successful completion of contracts of similar size, scope and complexity to that outlined in the PWS. Preference will be given to quotes that demonstrate past performance in a similar environment. b. The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. c. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgement by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information. d. When assessing performance risks, the Government will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it relates to all acquisition requirements, such as: 1) the offeror's record of performing according to specifications, including standards of good workmanship; 2) the offeror's record of controlling and forecasting costs; 3) the offeror's adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance; 4) the offeror's reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and 5) the offeror's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. e. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, sources of the information, context of the data and general trends in the offeror's performance. The lack of a relevant performance record may result in an unknown performance risk assessment, which will neither be used to the advantage nor disadvantage of the offeror. Note: Contractors submitting offers without past performance will receive a neutral rating. f. Offerors shall provide evidence of comparable past work including a minimum of three years of experience performing environmentally friendly Canada Goose control with the use of dogs. Work shall demonstrate a similar complexity of working in areas with a large local and migratory goose population. Note: Listing completed projects does not address this criterion. A narrative that articulates past experience and description of successful completion of deliveries should be discussed. When evaluating quotes against the stated source selection factors, the relative strengths, deficiencies, significant weaknesses, and risks supporting the quote evaluation will be considered and documented in the contract file and selection reports. In the evaluation, all non-price factors, when combined, are more important than price. Each Quoter shall complete and submit summaries for not more than three relevant projects. Relevant projects are those that are like those requested in this contract. All references should be either ongoing or completed within the last five years. The relevant projects summaries shall include the following information not to exceed one page for each project (total page limit not to exceed three pages): - Project Name - Date of Contract - Type of Contract - Dollar Value of Contract - Period of Performance - Description of services provided - Name, email and telephone numbers for points of contact - (Include Program Manager, Contracting Officer and/or the Contracting Officer Representative) Describe the relevance to the current requirement being solicited (i.e., Canada Goose control using dogs) Factor 3: Price The Government will evaluate the completed PRICE SCHEDULE, provided in Section 12 of the PWS, which includes firm, fixed pricing. The total evaluated price will be the sum of the extended pricing for all CLINs across all ordering periods. The total evaluated price will be used to determine which Quoter has the most competitive pricing. 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). FAR 52.219-4 evaluation preference will be applied to the extent required. Total evaluated prices for the quotes will be used in making the trade-off analysis. ASSUMPTIONS, CONDITIONS, OR EXCEPTIONS Offerors must submit, under separate cover, all (if any) assumptions, conditions, or exceptions with any of the terms and conditions of the PWS. If not noted in this section of your quotation, it will be assumed that the offeror proposes no assumptions for award and agrees to comply with all the terms and conditions as set forth herein. It is not the responsibility of the Government to seek out and identify assumptions, conditions, or exceptions buried within the Offeror's quote. BASIS FOR AWARD This is a competitive best value in which competing offerors' technical capability and past performance history will be evaluated on a basis of equally important than cost or price considerations as stated above. Failure to meet any of the requirements may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. POINTS OF CONTACT: Tanya N.
