**********************************************************************

I. Evaluation Factors, Relative Importance, Basis for Award.

Factor 1, Technical Acceptability;

Factor 2, Past Performance, and

Factor 3, Pricing Information.

The Government intends to solicit, evaluate and award a contract resulting from this solicitation using the policies and procedures in FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13.5. The Vendor must address the specifications in sufficient detail so that the Government can reasonably determine that the Vendor possesses the ability to successfully perform the contract. Offers that simply state they are in compliance may be considered “Unacceptable.” Submissions shall be evaluated in accordance with the factors described below. The evaluation factors represent key areas of importance to be considered in the source selection decision. The factors and associated elements have been chosen to support meaningful discrimination between and among competing proposals. As demonstrated in their submissions, Vendors shall be evaluated in terms of their ability to meet or exceed the requirements in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Vendor’s quotation shall demonstrate a clear understanding of the nature and scope of the work specified in the PWS. Failure to provide a complete quotation shall reflect a lack of capability to perform the work requirements and may result in a determination that the Vendor’s quotation is unacceptable. Quotations received for less than the entire requirement will not be eligible for award. Vendors receiving a rating of “Unacceptable” for any non-price factor may not be considered for an award and may not be further evaluated. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions. If discussions are held, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition.

NOTE: Awards will only be made to an Offeror that has no Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) as defined in FAR 9.5 or that the Government determines has provided a satisfactory mitigation plan. Offerors are advised that technical proposals may be evaluated without consideration of any proposed subcontractor which is deemed to have an OCI and for which an unsatisfactory mitigation plan has been proposed.

II. Evaluation Methodology.

Factor 1, Technical Submission:

Factor 1 is rated at the factor level; the individual elements are not individually rated, but are assessed together to

arrive at the overall rating for this factor.

1. Element 1: Technical: The Government will evaluate whether the Vendor has submitted a technical capability plan that addresses the requirements in the Addendum to 52.212-1 in a clear and concise manner and that provides reasonable assurances that the Vendor’s plan will ensure its performance (and the performance of any subcontractors) conforms to the requirements of this contract.


2. Element 2: Experience: The Government will evaluate whether the Vendor has clearly demonstrated that it has recent and relevant experience with the tasks identified in the PWS.

Adjectival Rating Descriptions. The Technical Capability factor will be rated using the adjectival definitions, Acceptable and Unacceptable. The individual elements will not be rated, but the Government’s evaluation of the elements, individually or collectively, will affect whether a quotation is rated Acceptable or Unacceptable.

Factor 2, Past Performance:

The Government will evaluate Past Performance of Vendors and any proposed subcontractors, teaming/joint venture

partners or affiliates (hereafter, Contractor or Vendor) to determine how well the Contractor performed on the referenced contracts and to assess the Vendor’s probability of performing the solicitation’s requirements. The Government will use information that is recent and relevant to determine how well the Contractor performed on the referenced contracts in the following areas:

(1) Recency: To be recent, the effort must have been performed during the past five (5) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. The Vendor shall provide information on no more than three (3) previous contracts whose effort was relevant to the effort required by this solicitation. 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. The Government may verify past performance information. Information that fails to meet this condition or that has yet to be performed will not be evaluated.

(2) Relevancy: To be relevant, the effort must be the same as or similar in scope, magnitude and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. More relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance. 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 a 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: Measures experience in the areas defined within the PWS. Prior projects or contracts are considered similar if they demonstrate that the Vendor has performed projects involving the major tasks identified within the PWS.


• Magnitude: Measures similarity of the dollar values between the prior contract or project and the projected value of the future contract.

NOTE: Vendors are advised that the Government may consider past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Vendor, including federal, state and local Government agencies, better business bureaus, published media and electronic databases including, but not limited to, Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and Contractor Performance Assessment reporting System (CPARS). The Government may research Vendor performance on any federal, state, local and commercial procurement that is known to the Government, but not included on a submitted reference.

Confidence Assessment: This aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the Contractor performed on past contracts. The Past Performance Confidence Assessment is an evaluation of the likelihood (or Government’s confidence that the Vendor will successfully perform the solicitation’s requirements). Past Performance information that is not recent or relevant is not considered in the assessment of Past Performance Confidence. Please refer to the DD1449 for a description of the Past Performance Confidence Assessment adjectival ratings.

NOTE: In the case of a Vendor 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 Vendor may not be evaluated favorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Vendor shall be determined to have unknown (or “Neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, aneutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

This evaluation and rating is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the Vendor’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the Vendor and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 3, Pricing Information:

The Price Factor will not be scored or rated. The Vendor’s response will be evaluated for compliance with the Addendum to 52.212-1, completeness and price reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3.

Selection: The Government will determine Vendors’ Total Overall Evaluated price, for this source selection, by aggregating the total price for all overhaul tasks, all specified repair tasks, and all transportation costs for the period of performance. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue an award using the procedures of FAR Part 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. Upon completion of the above, the Government shall issue a single award for all items to the Vendor whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation and evaluation criteria, is considered to be most advantageous to the Government, with Technical Acceptability and Past Performance, when combined, being significantly more important than price.

The Government reserves the right to not issue an award if it is not in the best interest of the Government.

The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced Vendor.

This announcement will close at 5:30 PM EST local time on 29th of March, 2024. Contact Hillary Kang-Parker who can be reached by email hillary.s.kang-parker.civ@us.navy.mil.
