A rating below "Acceptable" in any one Sub-Factor will render an overall Technically Unacceptable rating for Factor 1 - Technical Approach. (c) Offerors are cautioned that an award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price Offeror; or, if non-price Factors are evaluated as comparatively equal between two or more Offerors, price may become a determinative Factor. FACTORS AND THEIR RELATIVE IMPORTANCE (a) RELATIVE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE TERMINOLOGY. An evaluation of all offers will be made in accordance with the criteria set forth below. The evaluation criteria consists of Factors. In order to provide the Offeror with an understanding of the significance assigned by the Government, the Factors are assigned a relative order of importance. The following terminology is used: (1) Significantly More Important. The Factor or Sub-factor is substantially more important than another Factor or Sub-factor. The Factor or Sub-factor is given far more consideration than another factor or sub-factor. (2) More Important. The factor or sub-factor is greater in value than another factor, but not as much as a significantly more important factor or sub-factor. The factor or sub-factor is given more consideration than another factor or sub-factor. (3) Equal. The factor or sub-factor is the same in value as another factor or sub-factor. (b) RELATIVE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE OF FACTORS. (1) Factor Order of Importance a) The Technical Approach Factor is significantly more important than the Past Performance Factor. b) The Past Performance Factor is More Important than the Price Factor. c) All non-Price evaluation factors, when combined, are Significantly More Important than the Price Factor. EVALUATION APPROACH All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel. EVALUATION CRITERIA FACTOR I - Technical Approach Sub-Factor 1 through Sub-Factor 5: Sub-Factor 1: Understanding of the Requirement The Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposed ability to conduct research into the DOE records, interpret those records for contractual agreements with the DOE facilities, and to maintain a database of information linking the Contractor/Subcontractor to a DOE facility. The Offeror shall submit a proposal that demonstrates its understanding of the work described in Part 5 of the SOW. Sub-Factor 2: Research and Interpretation of Department of Energy Records The Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposed expertise in researching and interpreting DOE contractual agreements and other various forms of documentation to identify those Contractors/Subcontractor contractual agreements with covered DOE facilities. Sub-Factor 3: Access to Union records, Pension Funds, Health Records The Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposed ability to access union records, pension funds, health records, and former worker program records. Sub-Factor 4: Personnel with Knowledge of DOE history of Atomic Weapons Program The Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposed experience and qualifications of all Contractor Key and Non-Key Personnel. Sub-Factor 5: Public Access to EVS Database The Government will evaluate the quality, feasibility, practicability, innovativeness, and appropriateness of the Offeror's proposed ability to provide a public version of the database, including an estimated timeline / schedule for when the database will be available to the public. In order to provide the Offeror with an understanding of the value assigned by the Government, the criteria are being included below. From those single ratings, an overall rating will be determined. The following adjectival rating scale / descriptions will be used to evaluate Factor I - Technical Approach. Exceptional - Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Good - Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Acceptable - Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Marginal - Proposal does not clearly meet all requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Unacceptable - Proposal does not meet all requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. FACTOR II - Past Performance Past Performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305. The offer will be evaluated on the currency, size, scope, and responsibilities of the Offeror in engagements relevant to the requirements of this contract. In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), Offerors without relevant Past Performance experience, or for whom information on Past Performance is not available, shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on Past Performance. The Government will evaluate Past Performance information submitted by the Offeror. The Government may also use references and other sources such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) when evaluating Past Performance. Offerors will be evaluated on the extent and quality of their own corporate Past Performance (including that of established affiliates, subsidiaries, units or divisions of the Offeror's own company or parent company that are being proposed to support this effort). As such, the Offeror's own corporate Past Performance (as a Prime Contractor) will be weighed significantly more heavily than the Offeror's experience as a Subcontractor. Past Performance information performed entirely by an Offeror's proposed Subcontractor, or the proposed Subcontractor and an entity other than the Offeror will not be evaluated. After reviewing all recent and relevant Past Performance references, assessing the Offeror's quality of performance under those references, and considering all other sources of Past Performance data, the Government will use the adjectival ratings below to provide an overall Past Performance confidence assessment rating: Substantial Confidence - Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Satisfactory Confidence - Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Limited Confidence - Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort. No Confidence - Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Unknown Confidence (Neutral) - No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. FACTOR III - Price The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by evaluating prices for the Base Year and Option Years. Offers that do not include prices for the Option Years may be rejected and may not be considered further for award. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the options. The Price/Cost proposed will be evaluated, but not scored. The Contracting Officer and the Price Evaluation Team will use all methods available to evaluate the proposed prices. Price evaluation will commence upon final consensus ratings of the technical evaluation. The Contracting Officer (CO) and the Price Evaluation Team will review and evaluate the price proposals. The prices proposed will not be scored. Each Offeror's price/cost proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the proposal observes reasonableness and realism. As part of its evaluation, the Government will consider the Firm Fixed Price totals for the Base Year and Option Years. Prices will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness using the techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). The price evaluation may consider some or all of the following: 1. Comparison to other Offeror's proposals 2. Comparison to historical data 3. Comparison of proposed prices with prices obtained through market research for the same or similar items No adjectival ratings will be used to evaluate Price. (9.) All Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, with its offer. (10.) FAR Clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items, shall apply to this acquisition by reference-no addenda shall be attached. (11.) FAR Clause 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items, shall apply to this acquisition.
