FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (JAN 1999)
(a) The Government will award a firm fixed priced purchase order 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
• 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.
1. Basis for Award
The Government is conducting this source selection in accordance with the competitive negotiation source selection procedures contained in FAR Part 15.
The Government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose quotation represents the best value to the Government, and who lowest priced offer is deemed to be technically acceptable. Best value as defined in FAR Part 2, is the expected outcome of an acquisition that in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. The Government will be conducting this procurement by using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method.
When conducting the evaluation, the Government may use information provided by the offeror in their quotations as well as information obtained from the offeror’s past performance information. Each offeror is responsible for ensuring that the information provided is thorough, accurate, and complete.
The Government reserves the right to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with the offerors, with the exception of clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a). Evaluations may be based on the offeror’s initial proposal. Therefore, the offeror’s proposal should contain the offeror’s most advantageous proposal from a technical and price standpoint.
2. Price
Price will be assessed for completeness, reasonableness, price realism and affordability. Price will not be given a specific rating, but will be evaluated and provided to the Contracting Officer as part of the integrated assessment.
3. Past Performance
Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305Offerors with no past performance will result in an assignment of a neutral/unknown confidence rating, which will indicate neither a FAVORABLE nor UNFAVORABLE evaluation rating. In addition, if a Joint Ventures (JV) does not have any past performance as a JV or if the individual companies that comprise the JV do not have any past performance, then the JV will receive a neutral/unknown confidence rating. If the individual members do have past performance experience, then that performance will be evaluated on behalf of the Joint Venture. If the Joint Venture acts as the Prime, but has subcontractors, the subcontractor’s past performance (if there is any) will also be used in the evaluation.
4. Exchanges
Exchanges with offerors after receipt of quotations do not constitute a rejection or counter offer by the government.
5. Best Value Determination
The Government intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order contract to the responsible offeror whose quotation has been determined to be technically acceptable and their lowest proposed price is deemed to be realistic, fair and reasonable.

The Government shall determine how well the Offeror performed the same or similar services under previous Government as well as private sector contracts. Required is a minimum of three (3) client references for Strategic Roadmapping accomplished within the past two (2) years. Current contact information for client references shall be provided within the proposal.
An Offeror that lacks recent and relevant work will be assigned a neutral rating.
Factor 3: Pricing
1) Best Pricing:
Offeror’s shall submit their best pricing as Western intends to award an open market order under the procedures of FAR Part 12 and 13. Western will review the Offeror’s pricing to determine if the proposed pricing is fair and reasonable based on market research, historical awards, and in comparison to other price quotes received. Western reserves the right to reject any quote where the pricing is not fair and reasonable in comparison to the scope of work or appears to be unbalanced.
2) Price Reduction Request:
Western is seeking price reductions from the Offeror with the request for proposal. The Offeror is responsible for including a response in their package submission to indicate they are offering a discount or price reduction into their quoted prices or there is no discount or reduction offered. Prices will be evaluated by comparison to the offeror’s schedule prices and other price quotes received.
As the technical merits of the quotes become more equal, price may become the determining factor.
(b) No Options
(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.

(End of clause)
52.222-17 Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers. (JAN 2013)
(a) Service employee, as used in this clause, means any person engaged in the performance of a service contract other than any person employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as those terms are defined in 29 CFR part 541. The term “service employee” includes all such persons regardless of any contractual relationship that may be alleged to exist between a contractor or subcontractor and such persons.
(b) The Contractor and its subcontractors shall, except as otherwise provided herein, in good faith offer those service employees employed under the predecessor contract whose employment will be terminated as a result of award of this contract or the expiration of the contract under which the service employees were hired, a right of first refusal of employment under this contract in positions for which the service employees are qualified.
(1) The Contractor and its subcontractors shall determine the number of service employees necessary for efficient performance of this contract and may elect to employ fewer employees than the predecessor Contractor employed in connection with performance of the work.
(2) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this clause, there shall be no employment opening under this contract, and the Contractor and any subcontractors shall not offer employment under this contract, to any person prior to having complied fully with this obligation.
(i) The successor Contractor and its subcontractors shall make a bona fide express offer of employment to each service employee as provided herein and shall state the time within which the service employee must accept such offer, but in no case shall the period within which the service employee must accept the offer of employment be less than 10 days.
(ii) The successor Contractor and its subcontractors shall decide any question concerning a service employee’s qualifications based upon the individual’s education and employment history, with particular emphasis on the employee’s experience on the predecessor contract, and the Contractor may utilize employment screening processes only when such processes are provided for by the contracting agency, are conditions of the service contract, and are consistent with Executive Order 13495.
(iii) Where the successor Contractor does not initially offer employment to all the predecessor contract service employees, the obligation to offer employment shall continue for 90 days after the successor contractor’s first date of performance on the contract.
(iv) An offer of employment will be presumed to be bona fide even if it is not for a position similar to the one the employee previously held, but is one for which the employee is qualified, and even if it is subject to different employment terms and conditions, including changes to pay or benefits. (See 29 CFR 9.12 for a detailed description of a bonafide offer of employment).
(c)(1) Notwithstanding the obligation under paragraph (b) of this clause, the successor Contractor and any subcontractors (i) may employ under this contract any service employee who has worked for the contractor or subcontractor for at least three months immediately preceding the commencement of this contract and who would otherwise face lay-off or discharge, (ii) are not required to offer a right of first refusal to any service employee(s) of the predecessor contractor who are not service employees within the meaning of the Service Contract Act, 41 U.S.C. 6701(3), and (iii) are not required to offer a right of first refusal to any service employee(s) of the predecessor contractor whom the Contractor or any of its subcontractors reasonably believes, based on the particular service employee’s past performance, has failed to perform suitably on the job (see 29 CFR 9.12(c)(4) for additional information). The successor Contractor bears the responsibility of demonstrating the appropriateness of claiming any of these exceptions.
(2) In addition, any Contractor or subcontractor that has been certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration as a HUBZone small business concern must ensure that it complies with the statutory and regulatory requirements of the HUBZone Program (e.g., it must ensure that at least 35 percent of all of its employees reside within a HUBZone). The HUBZone small business Contractor or subcontractor must consider whether it can meet the requirements of this clause and Executive Order 13495 while also ensuring it meets the HUBZone Program’s requirements.
(3) Nothing in this clause shall be construed to permit a Contractor or subcontractor to fail to comply with any provision of any other Executive order or law. For example, the requirements of the HUBZone Program (see FAR subpart 19.13), Executive Order 11246 (Equal Employment Opportunity), and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 may conflict, in certain circumstances, with the requirements of Executive Order 13495. All applicable laws and Executive orders must be satisfied in tandem with, and if necessary prior to, the requirements of Executive Order 13495, 29 CFR part 9, and this clause.
(d)(1) The Contractor shall, not less than 30 days before completion of the Contractor’s performance of services on the contract, furnish the Contracting Officer with a certified list of the names of all service employees working under this contract and its subcontracts at the time the list is submitted. The list shall also contain anniversary dates of employment of each service employee under this contract and its predecessor contracts with either the current or predecessor contractors or their subcontractors. Where changes to the workforce are made after the submission of the certified list described in this paragraph, the Contractor shall, in accordance with paragraph (e) of this clause, not less than 10 days before completion of the services on this contract, furnish the Contracting Officer with an updated certified list of the names of all service employees employed within the last month of contract performance. The updated list shall also contain anniversary dates of employment, and, where applicable, dates of separation of each service employee under the contract and its predecessor contracts with either the current or predecessor Contractors or their subcontractors.
(2) Immediately upon receipt of the certified service employee list but not before contract award, the contracting officer shall provide the certified service employee list to the successor contractor, and, if requested, to employees of the predecessor contractor or subcontractors or their authorized representatives.
(3) The Contracting Officer will direct the predecessor Contractor to provide written notice (Appendix B to 29 CFR chapter 9) to service employees of their possible right to an offer of employment with the successor contractor. Where a significant portion of the predecessor Contractor’s workforce is not fluent in English, the notice shall be provided in English and the language(s) with which service employees are more familiar. Thewritten notice shall be-
