(End of Addendum)

FAR 52.212-2 - EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows:

EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Oct 2014) (a) 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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) PRICE (2) TECHNICAL

Technical is approximately equal to 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 price(s) are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the government to exercise the option(s) For evaluation purposes of the pricing for CLINS 52.217-8, see paragraph E below.

(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.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2, "EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

A. This acquisition will utilize a LPTA approach, in which the Government intends to award to an offeror with a technically acceptable l proposal and the lowest overall total evaluated price.

The LPTA approach does not permit tradeoffs between price/cost and past performance, and will include an evaluation for technical acceptability.

B. Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of technical acceptability or price may be rejected at any time during the evaluation process. The Government reserves the right to make an award without discussions; however, discussions may be conducted with all, some, or none of the offerors. Offerors may be required to participate in telephone discussions or in face-to-face oral discussions at the 1st Special Operations Contracting Squadron, 350 Tully Street, Hurlburt Field, FL.

C. The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract as a result of this solicitation.

D. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial offers received, without discussion of such offers.

E. Price Evaluation. Each offerors' price submitted in the Offer Schedule will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Unrealistically low proposed costs/prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that either the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic proposal.

Total Evaluated Price = (Total Evaluated Price for Base Period) + (Total Evaluated Price for Option Period 1) + (Total Evaluated Price for Option Period 2) + (Total Evaluated Price for Option Period 3) + (Total Evaluated Price for Option Period 4) + (Total Evaluated Price for Option to Extend Services IAW FAR 52.217-8). Total Evaluated Price for Base Period Option Periods 1 through 4: Quantities identified will be multiplied by the unit price to confirm the extended price and then the extended price for all CLINS will be added together for a total for that specific period. Unit price(s) shall be used in the event that extended price(s) are calculated incorrectly.

Total Evaluated Price for Option to Extend Services IAW FAR 52.217-8: Offerors shall not submit pricing for the Option to Extend Services CLINS. The Total Evaluated Price for Option to Extend Services IAW FAR 52.217-8 will be calculated by multiplying a quantity of 3 by the unit price(s) proposed at Option Period 4. The price(s) are evaluated in the Total Evaluated Price for evaluation purposes only. The Option to Extend Services is not considered part of the contract period of performance and resultantly these totals shall not be included in the contract, however the CLINS will be added as information only. If the government exercises FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, the extension will not exceed 6 months total and the information only CLINS will be changed to priced CLINS at a unit price equal to the preceding period of performance's most current unit price.

F. Technical Evaluation. Offers shall be evaluated independently of the cost/price proposal evaluation to determine the offerors compliance with the technical requirements of this solicitation. The government may make a final determination as to the rating of an offer based on the proposal as submitted without requesting any further information.

The Technical factor will receive an overall rating of either "Acceptable," or "Unacceptable" using the rating and descriptions in Table 1 below: The Government's technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on a pass/fail basis, assigning one of the ratings described below for each subfactor. Any subfactor evaluated as "Unacceptable" will render the entire proposal unacceptable and, therefore, un-awardable. Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. However, the offeror is cautioned that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

Table 1. Technical Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Evaluators shall assign a rating, which falls within one of the following ranges according to the degree to which the offeror meets the minimum requirements described above:

Technician Requirements in accordance with paragraph 3.0 of the SOW and solicitation Section A(3), Part III- Technical Proposal - Technical proposal will be rated acceptable if the offeror's submittal meets all requirements stated within these sections.

G. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offerors initial offer should contain the offerors best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. (End of Addendum)
