(ix) FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items applies to this acquisition with the following Addenda;
- 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 in the following relative order of importance:
- Price
- Past Performance.
- Price - Offerors shall utilize Attachment One Galley Food Service Equipment Mx Price Sheet to submit offered pricing in response to this RFQ. The Government will evaluate offers by adding the total price of CLIN's for all options to the total price for the basic requirement in order to determine the total quoted price for each offer (Base + 4 option years). In addition to determining the total quoted price, each offeror is required to complete the per hour labor rate of CLINs 0002, 1002, 2002, 3002, 4002. Vendor purposed per hour labor rates shall be considered during the price evaluation.
For price evaluation purposes, the government will use a quantity of 100 hours in evaluating the per hour labor rates of CLINs 0002, 1002, 2002, 3002, 4002 to arrive at a total evaluated price.
Offers will then be arranged according to price, from lowest priced offer to the highest priced offer. The Government may determine an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
- Past Performance After the price evaluation, the government will begin evaluating past performance starting with the lowest priced offeror. Evaluation of the offerors past performance is subjective and will result in a rating of (See table below) Substantial, Satisfactory, Neutral, Limited, or No Confidence. Offerors who do not have recent and relevant past performance relating to this requirement will receive a rating of Neutral Confidence.
Rating
Description
Substantial Confidence
Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.
Satisfactory Confidence
Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.
Neutral Confidence
No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse, no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.
Limited Confidence
Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.
No Confidence
Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.
The Government will evaluate past performance for recency and relevancy. Recency is defined as performance of similar services within the past three (3) years from the issue date of the request for quote. Relevancy is defined as services of galley, dining facility, or cafeteria food service equipment as listed in the RFQ Statement of Work.
If the lowest priced offer receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point; an award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. In the event the lowest priced offeror does not receive a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the evaluation process will continue with the next lowest priced offeror until an offeror receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating or all offers are evaluated. In the event an offeror other than then lowest priced offeror received a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the Contracting Officer will perform an integrated best value evaluation to determine the eventual awardee. The Government reserves the right to award to a Substantial Performance Confidence Rated offeror, and reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced offeror.
- The Government intends to award a contract without interchanges with respective offerors. The Government, however, does reserve the right to hold interchanges with one, some, none, or all offerors.
