(2) FAR 52.222-50 Combating Trafficking in Persons (3) FAR 52.212-2, The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitations will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate Offers: Technical Capability, Price and Past Performance. Technical will be evaluated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. Definitions are as follows: ACCEPTABLE: To be rated acceptable, the offerors technical proposal must demonstrate it can meet all requirements in the Statement of Work.

Past Performance will be evaluated as high risk, medium risk and low risk with definitions as follows: Unsatisfactory / High Risk - Significant doubt exists that the offeror will satisfactorily perform the services on solicitation, based on preponderance of unsatisfactory performance records under the various factor evaluations, or offerors record of unsuccessful past and current contracts performance in fulfilling requirements similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation. Verification of past performance shows that offerors have consistently not met work schedules and other obligations, have defaulted on at least one contract within the past three years, or have chronically failed to meet contract terms. -Satisfactory / Moderate Risk - Some doubt exists based on instances of record of poor performance, especially in contracts similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation.

Good / Low Risk - Little doubt exists, based on the offeror's preponderance of good, if not excellent past and current records of contract performance, especially in large contracts similar to the size and complexity of the services under solicitation. Verification of past performance shows that offeror consistently meets work schedules, provides specified services, meets contract terms without failure, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. Offeror without technical or insufficient technical information to show that their offer meets the performance work statement shall not be evaluated for award. Neutral Risk No relevant past performance Information. PRICE: Price will be evaluated separately from past performance and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonability.
