Attachments: Statement of Work Provisions and Clauses incorporated by reference and full text Contractor’s Performance Conditions & Responsibilities

J. Basis of Award Basis of Award is Best Value. Best Value award will be made to the responsible offeror whose quotation represents the best value to the Government, considering technical capability, past performance, and price. Technical Capability will be evaluated based on the offeror’s demonstrated experience performing polysomnography sleep studies and home testing capabilities. Past performance will be evaluated based on relevant prior contracts of similar scope and complexity, particularly within healthcare of federal health agencies. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness and realism in relation to the technical approach.

Best Value Determination: Technical factors (1-3), when combined, are more important than price. However, price will be considered in the overall best value determination and may become the deciding factor if quotations are determined to be technically equal.

Technical Factor 1 – Technical Capability (a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Proposals, which merely offer a statement to conduct/provide services in accordance with the requirements in the Government's SOW, will not be eligible for award. The offeror must submit an explanation that identifies the vendor and staff experience in providing pharmacy services in hospital/clinic settings; professional licensure and certifications; compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., Joint Commission, USP <797>/<800>, DEA, FDA, IHS).

(b) Basis of Evaluation: This factor will be evaluated as “ACCEPTABLE” if the explanation meets the requirement for qualifications and experience capabilities and responsibilities to meet the following: Tour of Duty/Schedule, Description of Services, Contractor Responsibility and Personnel Requirements, which comply with the requirements outlined above, are submitted. If an explanation of one or more of the following: Tour of Duty/Schedule, Description of Services, Contractor Responsibility and Personnel Requirements and/or do not comply with the requirements, this factor will receive an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating.

Technical Factor 2 – Past Performance (a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Offerors do not need to provide any information under this factor as the US Government will base the evaluation on all INTERIM and FINAL Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) that are recent and relevant. The CPARs will be retrieved from official US Government sources, including, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System and the Past Performance Information Retrieval System.

(b) Basis of Evaluation: Recency: For the purposes of this solicitation, a past performance record is recent if the CPAR final date of assessment listed in the “Period of Performance Being Assessed” block is within the 24-month period preceding the proposal due date.

Relevancy: For the purposes of this solicitation, a past performance record is relevant if the CPAR business sector is listed as “Services”.

In order to receive an "acceptable" rating for this factor, an Offeror's recent and relevant CPARs must NOT include one or more INTERIM and/or FINAL CPARs with a rating of "UNSATISFACTORY" in one or more categories OR one or more INTERIM and/or FINAL CPARs with a rating of "MARGINAL" in two or more categories. If an Offeror has one or more CPARs with a rating of "UNSATISFACTORY" in one or more categories OR one or more CPARs with a rating of "MARGINAL" in two or more categories, the Offeror's past performance will be evaluated as "UNACCEPTABLE".

In the case of an Offeror without a record of recent and relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.” An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating for a single factor will result in the Offeror’s entire proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE.”

Factor 3 – Price (a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Completed Price Schedule Sheet

(b) Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate price based on the total proposed price calculated as the sum of bid item 0001 Base Year, item 0002 Option Period 1, item 0003 Option Period 2, and item 0004 Option Period 3 that includes Contract cost, Subcontractor cost, Overhead and Profit. Analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price: Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP. Comparison of proposed prices with the IGE. Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

Note: A price that is found to be either unreasonably high or unrealistically low in relation to the proposed work may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in the overall proposal being considered unacceptable.

K. FAR Clauses FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021) (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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price. Technical and past performance, when combined, are less important than price. (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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise 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.
