ix) FAR 52.212‐2, Evaluation ‐ Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021), applies to this acquisition and is amended as follows:

(a) 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.

(b) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers in the following relative order of importance:

1. 
   
   
   
   1. Price
   
   
   2. Technical Capability and
   
   
   3. Past Performance
   
   
   
   

Technical Capability and Past Performance, when combined, are considered significantly more important than Price.

(c) Price The Government will begin evaluating offers by adding the total price of CLIN’s (Pricing Worksheet Attachment No. 3) for the basic requirement to determine the total quoted price for each offer. Offerors will then be arranged according to price, from lowest priced offer to the highest priced offer.

(d) Technical Capability Following the price evaluation, the Government will then evaluate offers based on Technical Acceptability. Technical Acceptability will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis: To be considered acceptable offerors must demonstrate that they or one of their employees hold a current Occupational Safety and Health Administration Maritime Certification.

(e) Past Performance Of the offers having received a technical rating of pass, the Government will begin evaluating Past Performance starting with the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. Evaluation of the offerors past performance is subjective and will result in a rating of (See table below) Substantial, Satisfactory, Neutral, Limited, or No Confidence. Offerors who do not have recent and relevant past performance relating to this requirement will receive a rating of Neutral Confidence.

Rating

Description

Substantial Confidence - Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.

Satisfactory Confidence - Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.

Neutral Confidence - No recent/relevant performance record is available, or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse, no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence - Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.

No Confidence -Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement.

The Government will evaluate past performance for recency and relevancy. Recency is defined as performance of similar services within the past five (5) years from the issue date of the solicitation. Relevancy is defined as services of the same level of effort and magnitude such as 45 Ton Washington Iron Works portal crane electrical repairs/upgrades performed and similar dollar value, types of repairs/upgrades performed, and evidence supporting the ability to perform engineering services.

If the lowest priced offer, having passed the technical evaluation receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point; an award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. In the event the lowest priced offeror, having passed the technical evaluation does not receive a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the evaluation process will continue with the next lowest priced offeror until an offeror receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating or all offers are evaluated. In the event an offeror other than then lowest priced offeror having passed the technical evaluation receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the Contracting Officer will perform an integrated best value evaluation to determine the eventual awardee. The Government reserves the right to award to a Substantial Performance Confidence Rated offeror and reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced offeror.

The Government intends to award a contract without interchanges with respective offerors. The Government, however, does reserve the right to hold interchanges with one, some, none, or all offerors.

x) All offerors shall include a completed copy of FAR 52.212‐3, Offeror Representations and Certifications ‐- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Dec 2022) or complete electronic annual representations and certifications at http://www.sam.gov.
