RFO 52.212-2 Evaluation�Commercial Products and Commercial Services (2026-02) (a) Evaluation factors. 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 will be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1: Technical Capability The Government will evaluate the offeror's Technical Capability based on two subfactors: (1) Credentials & Certifications, and (2) Technical Approach. Subfactor 1: Credentials & Certifications (Evaluated as Acceptable/Unacceptable) The Government will evaluate the offeror�s provided credentials and certifications to ensure they meet the minimum mandatory requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). This subfactor will be evaluated strictly on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. Acceptable: The prime contractor and/or subcontractor have all required credentials and certifications. Unacceptable: The prime contractor and/or subcontractor is missing one or more required credentials or certifications. (Note: An "Unacceptable" rating at the subfactor level renders the entire Technical Factor Unacceptable and the proposal unawardable.) Subfactor 2: Technical Approach The Government will evaluate the offeror's proposed technical approach and execution plan to meet the nine (9) performance objectives listed under the Description of Services within the PWS. The evaluation will assess the offeror�s understanding of the requirements, the feasibility of their approach, and the associated performance risks. The Government will assess the approach using these definitions: Strength: An aspect of an offeror's proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government. Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. Significant Weakness: A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. Deficiency: A material failure of a proposal to meet a government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. Feasibility: the Government�s assessment of the practical likelihood that the Offeror�s proposed technical approach, methods, and processes will successfully achieve the Performance Work Statement (PWS) objectives. This evaluation considers the realism of the proposed timeline, the adequacy of the resources assigned, and the technical achievability of the solution within the specific operational constraints of the Los Angeles Air Force Base and Fort MacArthur network environments. Exceptional Understanding: The proposal provides a comprehensive, highly detailed, and logically sound methodology that clearly anticipates complexities and proactively mitigates risks associated with LAAFB and Fort MacArthur's specific operational network environments. It leaves no doubt that the offeror has mastered the PWS requirements. Thorough Understanding: The proposal provides a complete, sound, and detailed methodology that clearly addresses all PWS requirements and demonstrates a firm grasp of the operational environment and its standard challenges. Adequate Understanding: The proposal meets the baseline PWS requirements with sufficient detail to demonstrate it can perform the work, but lacks the depth, proactive risk mitigation, or comprehensive detail found in higher-rated approaches. Performance risk: The probability that an offeror�s proposed approach will cause disruption of schedule, degraded performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. Subfactor 2 will be assigned a percentage score and rating descriptor in accordance with the table below: Excellent Approach (40%): All credentials are present. The proposal demonstrates an exceptional understanding of the 9 PWS objectives with multiple strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low. Good Approach (30%): All credentials are present. The proposal demonstrates a thorough understanding of the 9 PWS objectives with at least one strength. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate. Adequate Approach (20%): All credentials are present. The proposal demonstrates an adequate understanding of the 9 PWS objectives. The approach meets the baseline requirements of the solicitation. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate. Unacceptable (0%): Missing mandatory credentials (Subfactor 1 Unacceptable) OR the quote provides an unacceptable/no technical approach to the PWS objectives. Proposal contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable. Factor 2: Past Performance Submission Requirements: The offeror shall submit a list of exactly three (3) relevant previous government contracts. To be considered recent, the work must be ongoing or have been completed within the last five (5) years from the date of solicitation issuance (e.g., performance occurring in 2021 or later). For each contract reference, the offeror must provide: Contract Number Offeror's Role (Prime Contractor or Subcontractor) Total Dollar Value of the contract A brief description of the work performed The Contracting Officer Assigned to that Contract Evaluation Methodology: The Government will evaluate the offeror�s Past Performance to assess the relative risks associated with the offeror's likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements. The Government will evaluate both the Relevancy (Magnitude, and Role) and the Quality (Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings or similar performance records). Assessment of Offeror Relevancy 1. Role (Prime vs. Subcontractor): While the Government will evaluate past performance for work performed as either a Prime Contractor or a Subcontractor, the Offeror�s role determines the relevancy of the management experience. Because the successful awardee for this requirement will act as the Prime Contractor, they will be responsible for total contract performance, overarching schedule and quality control, risk management, and direct interface with the Government Contracting Officer. Therefore, past performance references where the Offeror performed as a Prime Contractor may be deemed more relevant or assigned a higher confidence rating than references where the Offeror performed solely as a Subcontractor, as subcontractor experience may not demonstrate the comprehensive management and administrative capabilities required to execute this contract. 2. Magnitude (Dollar & Days): For the purposes of evaluating magnitude in the criteria below: "Same/greater magnitude" is defined as a total contract value comparable to or exceeding the Government's estimated value for this requirement AND a period of performance of at least 365 days. "Significantly lower magnitude" is defined as a total contract value less than 50% of the Government's estimated value and/or a period of performance of less than 365 days. (Note: The government estimate will not be disclosed to protect the integrity of the solicitation process.) Assessment of Offeror Quality (CPARS/ Performance Record Rating): For the purposes of this evaluation, a CPARS rating of "Satisfactory" is considered a positive rating, as it demonstrates the contractor successfully met all contractual requirements. "Neutral" is not a performance rating; it is strictly reserved for instances where no performance record exists. Assessment of Quality (CPARS Mapping) Positive (Good/Excellent): Consists of Exceptional, Very Good, and Satisfactory CPARS ratings. This indicates the offeror's past performance record demonstrates that they successfully met or exceeded all contract requirements. Neutral / No Record: Consists of N/A (No Record Available). This indicates the offeror has no recent or relevant performance record, or the record is so sparse that no meaningful assessment can be assigned. Negative / Adverse: Consists of Marginal and Unacceptable CPARS ratings. This indicates the offeror's past performance record indicates a failure to meet one or more critical contract requirements. (Note: Quotations presenting Negative/Adverse CPARS may be rated Unacceptable overall). The Government will assign a Past Performance score based on the highest tier the offeror achieves across their submitted references, in accordance with the criteria below: Prime Contractor (40%): Previous contracts demonstrate the same/greater magnitude (comparable dollar value and at least 365 days of performance) for essentially the same requirement, and positive CPARS or equivalent ratings. Prime Contractor (35%): Previous contracts demonstrate the same/greater magnitude (comparable dollar value and at least 365 days of performance) for essentially the same requirement, and neutral/no CPARS available on record. Prime Contractor (30%): Previous contracts demonstrate significantly lower magnitude (less than 50% of the anticipated dollar value and/or less than 365 days of performance) for essentially the same requirement, and positive CPARS or equivalent ratings. Prime Contractor (25%): Previous contracts demonstrate significantly lower magnitude (less than 50% of the anticipated dollar value and/or less than 365 days of performance) for essentially the same requirement, and neutral/no CPARS available on record. Subcontractor (20%): Previous contracts demonstrate the same/greater magnitude (comparable dollar value and at least 365 days of performance) for essentially the same requirement, and positive CPARS or equivalent ratings. Subcontractor (15%): Previous contracts demonstrate the same/greater magnitude (comparable dollar value and at least 365 days of performance) for essentially the same requirement, and neutral/no CPARS available on record. Subcontractor (10%): Previous contracts demonstrate significantly lower magnitude (less than 50% of the anticipated dollar value and/or less than 365 days of performance) for essentially the same requirement, and neutral/no CPARS available on record. Neutral (N/A): Previous contracts demonstrate no relevant past performance. Offerors lacking a record of relevant past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. (Note: If an offeror submits a relevant contract but has negative/adverse CPARS ratings (Marginal/Unacceptable), the Government reserves the right to assign a lower score or determine the risk of unsuccessful performance to be Unacceptable.) (Note: If an offeror submits a combination of Prime Contractor and Subcontractor references, the Government will evaluate and score each of the three (3) references individually using the tiers above. The offeror's final Past Performance score will be the calculated average of those individual reference scores.) Factor 3: Price Price is evaluated for reasonableness and completeness but is the least heavily weighted factor. While Price is less important than Technical Capability and Past Performance, it is still a material evaluation factor. Pricing Instructions: Offerors shall submit their pricing via the Standard Form (SF) 1449 - FA2816Q00020004. Offerors must provide a proposed price for all X001 series CLINs (e.g., CLIN 0001, 1001, 2001). Offerors must leave all X002 series CLINs (e.g., CLIN 0002, 1002, 2002) at a value of $0.00. Compliance Warning: Quotations that include dollar values for the X002 series CLINs will be considered non-compliant with solicitation instructions. The Government reserves the right to reject such quotations as unacceptable without further evaluation or discussion. Basis for Award (Factor Weights & Tradeoff) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quotation represents the Best Value to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will perform a comparative assessment of quotations based on the following weighted criteria: Evaluation Factor Weight Factor 1: Technical Capability: 40% Factor 2: Past Performance: 40% Factor 3: Price: 20% Technical Capability and Past Performance are of equal importance (40% each). When combined, the non-price factors (80%) are significantly more important than Price (20%). Because this is a Best Value Tradeoff procurement, the Government reserves the right to select a quotation that offers a higher price if the Government determines that the technical superiority and/or stronger past performance history warrants paying the price premium. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced or if there is NO price submitted for the option years. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer�s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. (The Government will perform a comparative assessment of quotations. A quotation with a higher Past Performance rating may be selected over a lower-priced quotation if the Government determines the higher-rated quotation provides better value.)
