CAR 1352.213-70 Evaluation Utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures (APR 2010)
The Government intends to award a trade-off, firm fixed price purchase order resulting from this request
for quotation to the responsible offeror whose quotation results in the best value to the Government,
considering both price and non-price factors with payment terms of Net 30.
The evaluation will consider the Non-Price Technical Solution (Technical Approach, Capability,
Experience, Past Performance, Warranty above and beyond the standard, and Delivery/Period of
Performance considerations) to be significantly more important than price. However, as quotes are
determined to be more equal in the non-price evaluation factors, price becomes more important.
The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order depending on the quality of the quote(s)
submitted and the availability of funds.
The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced vendor or the vendor with the highest
technical rating if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the
Government. The Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve
only slightly superior performance capability.
The following factors are listed in order of importance and will be used to evaluate quotations:
1. Technical Approach and Capability.
The Offeror’s overall technical approach will be evaluated to assess the Government's level
of confidence in the Offeror’s understanding of, approach to, and ability to successfully
perform the requirements as described in the Statement of Work. A detailed technical
approach write-up describing how the Offeror will perform this service is required to be
submitted with the quote regardless of whether a site visit was made or not. The technical
approach write-up must not be a reiteration of the Statement of Work, but how your company
plans on performing the tasks listed in the attached Statement of Work. (i.e. performance
checklists, anticipated number of employees, anticipated hours at the facility and/or
confirmation of supplies being provided, etc.)
2. Experience.
The offeror's background, experience, and qualifications (relevant past projects performing
similar services, certifications related to current requirement, etc.) will be assessed to
determine the likelihood that the offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements.
Offeror must have knowledge and experience with working on roofs and making repairs to
roofs.
3. Past Performance.
Quote shall include at least two references from at least two separate contracts for similar
and relevant recent services within the past two years including the name, phone number,
full address, and e-mail address of the reference to demonstrate the offeror’s capability to
successfully perform the services listed in the Statement of Work.
The Offeror is required to fill out blocks 1-4 and send ATTACHMENT 2 Past Performance
Questionnaire to the references provided by the Offeror in their submission. The references
should complete the ATTACHMENT 2 Past Performance Questionnaire and then email it
directly to kerri.coffey@noaa.gov by the closing date and time of this solicitation. The
Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the
due date and time of the solicitation, past performance questionnaires submitted from
previous solicitations, and to contact references for verification or additional information.
The Offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as
appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of
delivery of goods and services, cost management, communications between contracting
parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. The Government will use its
discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation,
and the information may be obtained from references provided by the Offeror, the agency’s
knowledge of Offeror performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or
past performance databases, and will be based on responsiveness, quality, and customer
services.
Offerors lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance
information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive
a neutral rating for past performance. A good past performance rating provides higher
confidence than a neutral or satisfactory rating.
4. Price.
The quoted prices will be evaluated but not scored. The Government will evaluate the price
quote for completeness and reasonableness in relation to the RFQ requirements. Quoted
prices must be entirely compatible with the Non-Price Technical Solution.
5. Warranty above and beyond the standard.
Contractor shall provide a written warranty for the repair for a period of one (1) year from the
date of acceptance. This includes workmanship and materials.
6. Delivery/Period of Performance considerations.
The Offeror's explanation of how will meet the completion date of sixty (60) calendar days
following the date of award will be evaluated but not scored.
