G -- AMENDED TO ADD PART 2 FOR CIVILIAN EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM SOL N00244-99-T-0005 DUE 110698 POC Point of Contact is Gwen Young, Contract Specialist at 619-532-2890; FAX 619-532-2347 WEB: Click here to learn more about FISC San Diego and additional, http://www.sd.fisc.navy.mil. E-MAIL: Click here to submit your quote electronically or, gwen_young@sd.fisc.navy.mil. Part 1 of this solicitation was published in the CBDNet on 10/27/98. This amendment is published to include/add information that was inadvertently cut off from the first notice. All other terms/conditions and deadlines remain unchanged. {AMENDMENT -- Part 2 hereby added} FACTOR 2 -- PAST PERFORMANCE Past Performance information should be provided on the form(s) entitled "Offeror's/quoter's Past Performance Data". Past Performance information submitted by offerors/quoters will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror/quoter has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors/quoters should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance for up to three prior similar contracts performed within the past three years. Information utilized in evaluation will be obtained from references identified by the offeror/quoter, as well as any other sources that may have relevant information. Offerors/quoters lacking relevant past performance data will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for this factor. A proposal lacking past performance data may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government, and thus may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to proposals of other offerors/quoters. Past Performance will be evaluated using the following adjectival ratings: OUTSTANDING: No risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of any degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon offeror's/quoter's past performance. SATISFACTORY: Very little risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon the offeror's/quoter's past performance. MARGINAL: Significant potential risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, and of degradation of performance based upon the offeror's/quoter's past performance. Technical Capability and Past Performance are approximately equal in importance; the combination of Technical Capability and Past Performance is approximately equal to Price. FACTOR 3 -- PRICE For purposes of this procurement, the Government is using a greatest value analysis (GVA) technique. GVA is an acquisition strategy focusing on cost-performance tradeoffs to arrive at an affordable balance among performance and technical capability. The purpose of such cost-performance tradeoffs is to balance mission needs with available and projected resources, taking into account anticipated operational requirements and causing cost to become more of a constraint. Offerors/quoters are expected to provide a comprehensive technical approach in accordance with the Statement of Work, while remaining competitive in terms of pricing. For evaluation purposes, Price is approximately equal to the combination of Technical Capability and Past Performance, which are approximately equal in importance. The importance of Price as an evaluation factor will increase proportionally with the degree to which other proposals are equal in the remaining evaluation factors. Award will be made to that offeror/quoter whose offer/quote represents the best value to the Government. Offerors/quoters are advised that Technical Capability/Past Performance may be the deciding factors for source selection, considering whether highly evaluated Technical Capability/Past Performance warrants a higher price. Similarly, Price may be the deciding factor for source selection when Price is so significantly high as to outweigh the value of superior Technical Capability or highly rated Past Performance. OFFERORS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AND INCLUDE A COPY OF THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS WITH THEIR PROPOSALS: FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representation and Certifications-Commercial Items. Note: The full text of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) can be accessed on the Internet at www.arnet.gov.
