METHOD OF PROPOSAL SUBMISSION:
All quotes shall be sent via email to lisa.fielding@navy.mil
All quotes shall include delivered price(s), a point of contact, name and phone number, CAGE Code, business size under NAICS Code 336611. Each response must clearly indicate the capability of the vendor to meet all specifications and delivery requirements. Quotes must be received no later than May 29, 2018 at 4:00 pm EST.
Past performance report forms must be filled out and submitted directly from past customers and sent to the Contracts Specialist at the email address noted.
The completion and submission of the above items will constitute a quote and will be considered the vendor's unconditional assent to the terms and conditions of this solicitation and any attachments and/or exhibits hereto. An objection to any of the terms and conditions of the solicitation will constitute a deficiency which will make the offer unacceptable.
Evaluation Criteria:
52.212-2 Evaluation--Commercial Items (Oct 2014)
The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement, past performance, and price. Past performance and Technical Evaluation, when combined, are more important than price.
Technical Evaluation Ratings:
Rating: Acceptable
Description: Submission clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation
Rating: Unacceptable
Description: Submission does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation
If the technical submittal is determined "Unacceptable", it renders the entire quote technically unacceptable. Technical submissions that do not meet the minimum requirements will be rated as "Unacceptable", and will no longer be considered for further competition or award.
Past Performance: The past performance evaluation results is an assessment of the Vendor's probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. For the Past Performance factor, the rating tables identified in the table in set forth below entitled "Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Table", and "Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Table" will be utilized for the assignment of ratings for relevancy and confidence assessment. Past performance will be evaluated for confidence based on the relevance and quality of the submitted contracts. This assessment is based on the Vendor's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the services outlined in the solicitation requirements.
Relevancy: For the Vendor's past performance submission(s), the agency will first evaluate the Vendor's past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the Vendor is to the effort to be acquired. In establishing what is relevant for this acquisition, consideration has been given to those aspects of an Vendor's contract history that give the greatest ability to measure whether the Vendor will satisfy the current procurement. Evaluation aspects of relevancy will include similarity of scope and magnitude which are defined
below.
Scope: The measure of the similarity of the scope of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and the Vendor's contracts. The Performance Work Statement scope meets the majority of the objectives as defined in the solicitation.
Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the dollar value of actually performed work that exists between the PWS and the Vendor's contracts/orders. Magnitude will be evaluated on the dollar amount of work actually performed under the contract(s)/order(s) during the relevant five-year period established by the solicitation.
Complexity: The measure of similarity of technical and managerial intricacy and required coordination of efforts and disciplines that exists between the PWS and the Vendor's performance on other contracts. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed be considered, but also the Vendor's ability to coordinate the tasks (e.g. concurrent performance requirements)
Past Performance Relevancy Ratings
Rating Description
Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.
Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.
Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.
Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort this solicitation requires.
For past performance submissions determined to be relevant or somewhat relevant, the Government will then evaluate the quality of those submissions by reviewing all available, current information on the contractor's performance. Submission determined to be ‘Not Relevant' will automatically receive a neutral rating. The Vendor
acknowledges that the Government is not responsible if the point of contact provided by the Vendor fails to respond to the Government's past performance inquiry. Vendors are also advised that the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any sources including sources outside of the Government, including Performance Assessment Reporting Systems (CPARS)
Confidence Assessment:
Past Performance Confidence Assessments
Rating Description
Substantial Confidence Based on the Vendor's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Vendor will successfully perform the required effort.
Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Vendor's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Vendor will successfully perform the required effort.
Limited Confidence Based on the Vendor's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Vendor will successfully perform the required effort.
No Confidence Based on the Vendor's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
Unknown Confidence (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Vendor's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.
In order to facilitate the Government's evaluation of this factor, the Vendor shall provide information on no more than three (3) previous contracts whose effort was relevant to the effort required by this solicitation; the contracts provided should have been performed within the last five (5) years. Evaluation will focus only on work experience already performed. Yet-to be performed work and experience prior to the last five (5) years will not be considered. Vendors may submit performance data regarding current contract performance as long as a minimum of one year of performance has been completed as of the award date of this RFQ. The Government may verify past performance information.
Price:
The prices quoted shall be in accordance with the solicitation, and will be evaluated on the basis of price reasonableness. Vendors to complete Price Template Exhibit A-C and shall include pricing for all line items listed. Failure to do this shall be cause for rejection of the quote for all line items.
Price Quotes shall be held firm for thirty (60) days.
Vendors responding to this solicitation are advised that, prior to award, the government may request vendors to submit additional information/data to support price reasonableness such as copies of paid invoices for the same or similar items, or price list with effective date and/or copies of catalog pages along with any applicable discounts. Failure to submit the requested information may result in disqualification of the submitted quote.
The Government shall select the Vendor whose quote is most advantageous to the Government, considering price and other factors when compared to other quotes. The Government reserves the right to issue a contract to other than the lowest priced Vendor. Past Performance will have a higher importance in the evaluation than the Price. The Government also reserves the right to not issue an award if it is not in the best interest of the Government.
System for Award Management (SAM): Vendors must be registered in the SAM database to be considered for award. Registration is free and can be completed on-line at http://www.sam.gov/.
