(End Addendum)
Addenda to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items (
* A. EVALUATION: 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. 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.
* B. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: The award will be made to the vendor whose quote represents the best value to the government. As allowed by FAR 13.106-2 and FAR 15.101-2, the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process shall be applied. Award will be made to the vendor who is deemed responsible and responsive and represents the best value to the Government based on selection of the technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price for non-cost factors. To be eligible for award, a quote must meet all technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, and provide all information required. The technical area will be evaluated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis. Under the LPTA source selection process, trade-offs are not permitted, quote are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors, and exchanges with offerors may occur. If the quote received is determined to be unacceptable, the vendor may be excluded from competition and may not be considered for award.
* A. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: Three (3) evaluation factors will be used to evaluate quotes: Technical Qualification and Price.
FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL QUALIFICATION
Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings
! Rating ! Description !
! Acceptable ! Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. All factors and sub-factors have passed the evaluation. !
! Unacceptable ! Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Each sub-factor must pass the evaluation in order for the technical factor to pass. Failure to address any sub-factor will deem an offer as technically unacceptable. !
!
The government will evaluate the Technical Qualification and the below listed sub-factors on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of acceptable or unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any of the below sub-factors will result in an unacceptable rating of this Technical Qualification primary factor. Accordingly, under the LPTA source selection approach, offerors who receive an unacceptable rating for this factor may not be considered for award. If any single area receives a rating of unacceptable, the entire plan will be rated as Unacceptable. Technical acceptability will be evaluated against the following sub-factors:
Sub-Factor 1 - Salient Characteristics: This sub-factor is met when an offeror thoroughly, completely, and accurately meets all of the following criteria listed on the salient characteristic page of the solicitation.
Sub-Factor 2 - Authorized Distributor: This sub-factor is met when an offeror thoroughly, completely, and accurately submits and fully addresses all of the following criteria listed in this sub-factor. Proof that the vendor is an authorized distributor of Apple devices in the form of a certificate or other official documentation.
An offeror's proposed prices will be verified on the Solicitation CLIN Quote Sheet by multiplying the quantities identified for each item number in the price schedule by the proposed unit price to confirm the extended amount for each price schedule item. The extended price for each line item will then be added together to arrive at a total evaluated price.
As this requirement is a commercial small purchase that will result in a firm-fixed-priced contract, a comparison of offeror's proposed, competitive prices will satisfy the requirement for price analysis. The price evaluation will be accomplished by conducting price analysis to assess and compare proposed prices and reasonableness of the proposed total evaluated price as defined in FAR 15.404-1 and FAR 15.305.
Firm-fixed-price contract provides for a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor's cost experience in performing the contract. (FAR 16.202-1)

In accordance with FAR 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations the following information is provided in regards to quotations.
A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.
When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred.
If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact one of the following:
