TECHNICAL CAPABILITY
The Offeror shall provide the following information which demonstrates that the Offeror clearly and fully understands all requirements set forth in the Statement of Work and is offering a product that meets the specified equipment features as described at Section 3.0 Equipment Salient Characteristics/Description in the SOW.
The Offeror shall submit a complete shop drawing, including all information necessary (e.g., manufacturer's specifications, manufacturer's catalog data, generator prototype test results, etc.), to clearly indicate the proposed diesel engine generator set complies with all equipment salient characteristics/description set forth in the SOW. The submitted shop drawing must provide adequate detail to clearly indicate that the proposed generator set complies with each paragraph and subparagraph of Section 3.0 Equipment Salient Characteristics/Description in the SOW.

The Offeror must clearly discuss their plan to meet the warranty requirements as described in the SOW.
PAST PERFORMANCE
The Offeror shall describe their background, knowledge and experience related to the manufacture, delivery, set up and training of portable diesel engine generator sets. Of particular emphasis is performance that was executed in accordance with the same or similar scope and magnitude that is described in the SOW. Past performance information is used in determining the level of confidence the Government has for successful performance based upon the Offeror's actions under previously awarded, relevant contracts.
The Government shall only consider relevant past performance data. To be considered relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate past execution of similar contracts in terms of scope, complexity, technology, magnitude of effort, and schedule. The Offeror must demonstrate through past performance an ability to perform the work described in the solicitation. This is done by demonstrating that they have successfully executed contracts of similar scope and magnitude within the past five years.

The references will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow Offerors who may not have the entire scope, magnitude, and complexity of the requirement under one individual contract to still be considered relevant if experience with the full scope, magnitude, and complexity of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of references as described above.
If an Offeror or its subcontractor determines they have no past performance data, they shall provide the following statement in lieu of the information requested below: "(Insert Offeror or subcontractor's name) has determined that they possess no past performance information in accordance with the RFQ."
To be compliant with this factor offerors shall provide the following information for both the Offeror and proposed subcontractors.

- Customer points of contact (minimum of two, provide name, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses)
- Length of contract
- Period of performance (dates)

DLAD 52.215-9023 REVERSE AUCTION (OCT 2013)
The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the Contracting Officer does not conduct a reverse auction, award may be made on the basis of initial offers or following discussions not using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations, the Contracting Officer will notify Offerors of this decision and the following provisions will apply:
(a) The award decision will be made in accordance with the evaluation factors as set forth in the solicitation. The reverse on-line auction will be used as a pricing technique during discussions to establish the final offered prices from each Offeror. These prices will be used in conjunction with the evaluation factors stated elsewhere in the solicitation in order to make the award decision in accordance with the basis for award stated in the solicitation.
(b) Following the decision to conduct discussions using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique, the Contracting Officer or his/her representative will provide Offerors determined to be in the competitive range with information concerning the auction process.
(c) Prior to conducting the reverse auction, the Contracting Officer may hold discussions with the Offerors concerning matters appropriate for discussion, such as issues involving technical proposals or unbalanced pricing.
(d) Unless auction instructions indicate that only Offeror's rankings will be displayed, the lowest Offeror's price(s) for each round of the reverse auction will be disclosed to other Offerors and anyone else having authorized access to the auction. This disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each Offeror's identity will be concealed from other Offerors (although it will be known to the Government; only a generic identifier will be used for each Offeror's proposed pricing, such as "Offeror A" or "lowest-priced Offeror"). By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, Offerors agree to participate in the reverse auction and that their prices may be disclosed, including to other Offerors, during the reverse auction.
(e) An Offeror's final auction price at the close of the reverse auction will be considered its final price proposal revision. No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the reverse auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed and final price proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.307, or the Contracting Officer determines that it would be in the best interest of the Government to re-open the auction.
(f) The following requirements apply when the Government uses a commercial web-based product to conduct the reverse auction:
(1) Each Offeror identified by the Contracting Officer as a participant in the reverse auction will be contacted by Defense Logistic Agency's commercial reverse auction service provider to advise the Offeror of the event and to provide an explanation of the process.
(2) In order for an Offeror to participate in the reverse auction, such Offeror must agree with terms and conditions of the entire solicitation, including this provision, and agree to the commercial reverse auction service provider's terms and conditions for using its service. Information concerning the reverse auction process and the commercial service provider's terms and conditions is embedded within the email notification sent by the on-line reverse auction pricing tool system administrator.
(3) Offerors shall secure the passwords and other confidential materials provided by the commercial reverse auction service provider or the Government and ensure they are used only for purposes of participation in the reverse auction. Offerors shall keep their own and other Offeror's pricing in confidence until after contract award.
(4) The reverse auction system currently in use designates offers as "Lead," meaning the current low price in that auction, or "Not Lead," meaning not the current low price in that auction. In the event of a tie offer, the reverse auction provider's system designates the first offer of that price as "Lead" and the second or subsequent offer of that price as "Not Lead." Offerors shall not submit a tie offer, since this is inconsistent with the purpose of the reverse auction. If a tie offer is submitted and no evaluation factors other than price were identified in the solicitation, the "Not Lead" Offeror that submitted the tie offer must offer a changed price; otherwise its offer will be ineligible for award if their final price in the auction is the tie offer price. If evaluation factors in addition to price were listed in the solicitation, tie offers that are "Not Lead" will be considered and evaluated in accordance with those evaluation factors.
(5) Any Offerors unable to enter pricing through the commercial reverse auction service provider's system during a reverse auction must notify the Contracting Officer or designated representative immediately. The Contracting Officer may, at his/her sole discretion, extend or re-open the reverse auction if the reason for the Offeror's inability to enter pricing is determined to be without fault on the part of the Offeror and outside the Offeror's control.
(6) The reverse auction will be conducted using the commercial reverse auction service provider's website as embedded in the email notification. Offerors shall be responsible for providing their own computer and internet connection.
(7) Training:
(i) The commercial reverse auction service provider and/or a Government representative will provide familiarization training to Offerors' employees; this training may be provided through written material, the commercial reverse auction service provider's website, and/or other means.
(ii) An employee of an Offeror who successfully completes the training shall be designated as a "Trained Offeror." Only Trained Offerors may participate in a reverse auction. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to request that Offerors provide an alternate Offeror employee to become a Trained Offeror. The Contracting Officer also reserves the right to take away the Trained Offeror's designation from any Trained Offeror who fails to abide by the solicitation's or commercial reverse auction service provider's terms and conditions.

DLAD 52.233-9000 AGENCY PROTESTS (NOV 2011)
Companies protesting this procurement may file a protest
(1) with the Contracting Officer,
(2) with the Government Accountability Office (GAO), or
(3) pursuant to Executive Order Number 12979, with the Agency for a decision by the Activity's Chief of the Contracting Office.
(b) Protests filed with the agency should clearly state that they are an "Agency Level Protest under Executive Order Number 12979."
(c) Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procedures for Agency Level Protests filed under Executive Order Number 12979 allow for a higher level decision on the initial protest than would occur with a protest to the Contracting Officer; this process is not an appellate review of a Contracting Officer's decision on a protest previously filed with the Contracting Officer. Absent a clear indication of the intent to file an agency level protest, protests will be presumed to be protests to the Contracting Officer.
(End of Provision)
DLAD 52.233-9001 DISPUTES: AGREEMENT TO USE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR) (NOV 2011)
(a) The parties agree to negotiate with each other to try to resolve any disputes that may arise. If unassisted negotiations are unsuccessful, the parties will use alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques to try to resolve the dispute. Litigation will only be considered as a last resort when ADR is unsuccessful or has been documented by the party rejecting ADR to be inappropriate for resolving the dispute.
(b) Before either party determines ADR inappropriate, that party must discuss the use of ADR with the other party. The documentation rejecting ADR must be signed by an official authorized to bind the Contractor (see Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.233-1), or, for the Agency, by the Contracting Officer, and approved at a level above the Contracting Officer after consultation with the ADR Specialist and with legal. Contractor personnel are also encouraged to include the ADR Specialist in their discussions with the Contracting Officer before determining ADR to be inappropriate.
(c) The offeror should check here to opt out of this clause:
[ ] Alternate wording may be negotiated with the Contracting Officer.

FAR 13.106-2 Evaluation of Quotations or Offers. The Government intends to award one purchase order as a result of this Request for Quote. Award will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable quote which meets the technical acceptability standards. The following criteria shall be used to establish technical acceptability: submittal of technical capability and past performance information.
Quotes shall be evaluated for acceptability or unacceptability only and shall not be rated. Award will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable quote meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for the non-price factors. Any offeror who has submitted a technically acceptable quote will then have the quote evaluated for the lowest price.
TECHNICAL CAPABILITY
The Government will evaluate the Offeror's Technical Capability to determine acceptability of the offer. Technical acceptability will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. To be technically acceptable, the offeror must quote a genset that clearly meets the requirements of the SOW, must provide a shop drawing indicating compliance with the salient characteristics, and provide training and setup within the required delivery schedule.
PAST PERFORMANCE
The Government may utilize the Federal Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), data submitted by the offeror or other information available in its possession to determine the quality and relevance of the offeror's past performance.
Quotes will be evaluated to the extent to which the offeror has demonstrated an ability and willingness to perform: 1) A quality product or service (i.e. the conformance to contract requirements, specifications, and standards of good workmanship); 2) Timeliness of the contract with regard to completion of contract, task orders, milestones, delivery schedules and administrative requirements (e.g., effort that contributes to or affects the schedule variance); 3) Acceptable cost control with regard to the offeror's effectiveness in forecasting, managing, and controlling contract cost; 4) Good business relationships with regard to the timeliness, completeness and quality of problem identification and resolution, offeror's history of reasonable and cooperative behavior, customer satisfaction, timely award and management of subcontracts, and whether the contractor met their small/small disadvantaged and women owned business participation goals; and 5) Management of key personnel with regard to demonstration of a commitment to the management of key personnel with regard to the offeror's performance in selecting, retaining, supporting, and replacing, when necessary, key personnel.
The Government will only consider relevant past performance data of the offeror and its major subcontractors. A major subcontractor is defined as those providing twenty percent (20%) of total dollar threshold AND/OR twenty-five percent (25%) of total man-hour effort. Subcontractors not meeting the definition of a "major subcontractor" will not be evaluated. To be considered relevant, the offeror must demonstrate past execution of similar contracts in terms of complexity, magnitude of effort, and scope. Additionally, the performance must have occurred during the last five (5) years. Offerors shall be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance; therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." Should the Government discover adverse past performance information to which the offeror(s) had not had a prior opportunity to respond and the offeror is the lowest priced offeror, determined technically acceptable for the other non-price factor, the Contracting Officer will conduct communications with the offeror, if deemed appropriate.
