It is suggested that the specific number and question of the evaluation criteria be included before each narrative: This will allow for ease of evaluation and should preclude the rejection of a quote due to items not being addressed. In the event you reference another document or part of the quote, you must be clear as to where the information can be found: Such statements as see Company profile or see Management Plan are not acceptable. You must indicate on what page of the quote the information can be found in the referenced document. Failure to do so may make your quote non-compliant. The Vendor shall submit a detailed narrative that addresses the following three equally important technical elements: 1) Technical Approach, 2) Capability and Experience. These elements comprise the Technical Capability and Experience factor and are not in addition to it. 8.3.1.3.1. Technical Approach: The Vendor shall clearly describe their approach to provide the SOW tasks effectively and efficiently. 8.3.1.3.2 Capability and Experience: The Vendor shall submit a written narrative detailing their Capability and Experience in providing recent and relevant services. The vendor shall clearly state the recency and relevancy of the efforts described. The Vendor shall submit their company experience and (when applicable) proposed major subcontractor company experience. Vendor s Capabilities and Experience shall include efforts that involve the tasks like those required on the SOW. 8.3.1.3.2.1 For consistency, please describe your Capability and Experience as follows per effort: Recency: State the time frame including dates (from XX to XX) of the recent effort. Recency is defined as Contracts/purchase orders/task orders that are 75% complete or completed within the past five years from the date Quotes are due. The 75% completion applies to active contracts that include a base and option years. Thus 75% completion of an active contract's base year is considered recent. And active contracts that are on option years are considered recent. Relevancy: State the title of the effort, contract number, contract total price and whether you or your major subcontractor are the prime or a subcontractor on the effort. Provide a detailed description of services provided and relevance of the referenced contract to the current requirement. Relevancy is defined as a contract that is similar in size and complexity and scope of the requirements in the solicitation. Similar in size and complexity means the total price of the contract, the number of staff, the number of users served, the number of locations served, and challenges confronted. Scope compares how well the requirements in the solicitation s PWS align with those of the contract referenced. VOLUME 2, PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION Past Performance includes current on-going (present) performance. Volume 2 past performance information shall include information for two recent and relevant projects, one of the projects must be for the proposed prime contractor for this requirement. Failure to provide past performance information may render a Vendor s quote incomplete and ineligible for award. The Volume 2 past performance information shall include information for two recent and relevant projects as follows: Contract Number (when applicable), Contracting Officers(CO): Name, Phone number and Email address, Contracting Officers Representatives (COR): Name, Phone number and Email address, Non-Government Points of Contact (if applicable), Total Contract Value at time of award and final price after any/all modifications, Initial Period of Performance (POP) and final POP after any/all modifications, Detailed description of services provided and relevance of the referenced contract to the current requirement, and reason for any modifications which effected price or performance period. The Volume 2 past performance information shall correlate with the two PPQs. No more than two PPQs shall be submitted. One of the PPQs submitted must be for the proposed prime contractor for this requirement. Please clearly state in the Volume 2 and corresponding PPQ whether the past performance information pertains to the prime or for the proposed major subcontractor for this requirement. Recency: Contracts/purchase orders/task orders that are 75% complete or completed within the past five years from the date quotes are due, shall be considered recent. The 75% completion applies to active contracts that include a base and option years. Thus 75% completion of an active contract's base year is considered recent past performance. And active contracts that are on option years are considered recent. Relevancy is defined as a contract that is similar in size and complexity and scope of the requirements in this solicitation. Similar in size and complexity means the total price of the contract, the number of staff, the number of users served, the number of locations served, and challenges confronted. Scope compares how well the requirements in the RFQ's PWS align with those of the contract referenced. Confidence is defined as performance which is satisfactory or better and will be used to assess the risk associated with successful contract performance. Major subcontractor is defined as the subcontractor who received the highest percent of the value of the contract. No more than two Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) shall be submitted for contracts/purchase orders/task orders performed within the last five years. It is the Vendor s responsibility to submit PPQs to the Evaluator from their previous contracts and to ensure these PPQs are emailed to Edward.Bradford@va.gov no later than the quote due date listed in Block 8 of the solicitation. To be considered, the PPQs must be completed by the EVALUATOR from their previous contracts, purchase orders/task orders and emailed directly by the Evaluator to the Contract Specialist Edward Bradford for receipt no later than the time and date quotes are due. All PPQs received after the quote due date and time may not be considered. PPQs submitted directly by Vendor responding to this RFQ or completed by the Vendor responding to this RFQ will not be considered. The Government may contact the Evaluators for any clarifications. The evaluator is the individual/customer who received the services and has knowledge of the Vendor s performance of those services rendered. The evaluator shall not be the Vendor responding to this request for quote. A Vendor with no Past Performance shall be evaluated as \"Neutral. VOLUME 3, PRICE The Vendor shall complete the Solicitation s section B, price schedule. All prices shall be fully burdened and represented in TWO DECIMAL POSITIONS ONLY. Example: $0.27, not $0.27458.
