DSCC 52.215-9C09: EVALUATION FACTOR FOR AWARD

M15D02   52.215-9C09   EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD   (JAN 2006)   DSCC
Old Code:  M06
(a) General Basis for Award:  Award will be made to the offeror or offerors
whose offer(s) conform to the solicitation requirements and represents the
best value to the Government. Unless either DSCC 52.216-9C38 or DSCC 52.216-
9C08 are included, at time of solicitation the Government anticipates
making a single award. The following evaluation factors will be considered
in the evaluation of proposals received under this solicitation with their
assigned ranking in descending order of importance:
_____ - Price
_____ - Past Performance
_____ - Proposed Delivery
_____ - Surge and Sustainment (See Provision DSCC 52.217-9C24)
_____ - Other ____________________________________________________________
All factors other than price listed above are, when combined, approximately
equal to price.
(b) PRICE:  The offered price, as adjusted by price related factors (such
as the Buy American Act or transportation costs), will be used in
conjunction with the other evaluation factors listed above to determine the
proposal which represents the best value to the Government.  The Government
will also evaluate the reasonableness of the offered price.
(c) PAST PERFORMANCE:
(1) Past performance information is maintained for performance under all
procurements with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).   Overall performance
is evaluated, as is performance in each Federal Supply Class (FSC).
Performance for items without an FSC (Non-NSN items), will be captured
under "FSC 0000".   This information is used to generate ABVS ratings which
are based on the following indicators:
      Delivery Delinquencies
      - Number
      - Severity
      - Contractor caused Terminations, Cancellations, and Withdrawals
For administrative purposes, the delivery rating period excludes the most
recent 60 days.  For ABVS purposes, delinquent lines represent shipments
not shipped and/or received in their entirety by the Contract Delivery Date
(CDD).  Contractor caused delivery extensions, regardless of consideration
paid, will be reflected in the delivery score.
      Quality Complaints
      - Product Nonconformances/Laboratory Test Failures
      - Packaging Nonconformances


For administrative purposes, the quality rating period excludes the most
recent 30 days.  Repair, replacement, or reimbursement of quality and
packaging defects will not provide relief of negative ABVS data.
NOTE:  The above 60 and 30 day offset periods are NOT grace periods.
Contractor caused discrepancies or delinquencies will be reflected in the
ABVS as an indicator of past performance.
(2) An offeror's past performance is an indicator of performance risk and
will be evaluated first on the basis of past performance in the same
Federal Supply Class (FSC) as the supplies being solicited.   For non-NSN
items, the contracting officer will evaluate using an offeror's DLA score.
 The Contracting Officer may consider the volume of business on which the
performance score is based as a measure of confidence in the FSC score.  A
vendor's overall score may be evaluated when a satisfactory measure of
confidence cannot be obtained from the FSC score or if a vendor has no FSC
score.  The Contracting Officer may also take into consideration any other
available and relevant past performance data.
(3) An offeror with no performance history in any FSC procured by DLA will
be identified as a new offeror and will not be scored by ABVS on
performance.  However, any other available and relevant past performance
data may be considered in rendering an award decision.  Regardless, the
status of being a new offeror will not be grounds for disqualification for
an award. New offerors may be considered more favorably than scored
offerors with a poor performance record.  Also, the desirability of
expanding the supplier base and possible competition enhancement in future
procurements will be considered in the source selection decision when new
offerors are present.
(4) ABVS ratings do not determine an offeror's award eligibility, or
technical acceptability, nor does it constitute a responsibility or non-
responsibility determination.
(5) By accessing the DSCC Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS),
http://DIBBS.dscc.dla.mil , each offeror will be provided the opportunity
to review their ABVS scores and negative historical performance data.  For
any questions or challenges to negative performance data, please forward
requests/challenges to an ABVS Administrator at the below cited address, or
telephone/fax an Administrator at one of the provided numbers:

      Mail requests to: Defense Supply Center, Columbus
      ATTN:  DSCC-PB (ABVS)
      P. O. Box 3990
      Columbus OH  43218-3990
      Telephone Numbers:   (614) 692-1381 or (614) 692-3383
      Facsimile (FAX) Number:   (614) 692-4170

  Offerors are recommended to review performance data on a frequent basis
and challenge any negative data within the Preview Period.   As always,
there will be approximately 60 days to view and challenge any new negative
data prior to its inclusion in the score.
(6) When a discrepancy between contractor data and Government data occurs,
the Government will make every effort to resolve the discrepancy
expeditiously.  However, the Government may make an award decision despite
the existence of an unresolved challenge.  The Government is the final
authority for resolution of disputed data and its use in the source
selection process.
(d) PROPOSED DELIVERY: The Government will evaluate the offeror's ability
to meet or improve the required delivery schedule specified in the
solicitation.  This evaluation will be based upon past performance on
contracts for the same or similar items, and on other information relating
to current and anticipated ability to meet the required delivery schedule.
(e) SURGE AND SUSTAINMENT: The Government will evaluate the offeror's
ability to meet the surge and sustainment requirements identified in
Section B of this solicitation. This requirement is further defined in
Provision DSCC 52.217-9C24.
