i) Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 15% of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price.

ii) Relevant Past Performance. The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation.

ADDENDUM to 52.212-2:

2) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

a) This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. Award will be made to a single offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, whose offer conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose offer, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, is the most advantageous to the Government.

b) The government reserves the right to conduct a price realism analysis at any point during the evaluation process. The Government will evaluate prices for reasonableness using adequate competition and price analysis techniques.

c) The Government intends to award a single contract as a result of this solicitation.

3) EVALUATION CRITERIA. Evaluation criteria consist of factors and sub-factors. The offers will be evaluated under three evaluation factors and three sub-factors.

a) FACTOR I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY. The Government will evaluate the degree to which your proposal demonstrates capability to perform services required by the salient characteristics, including the following criteria:

i) Sub-Factor 1 – Salient Characteristics. To be determined acceptable the offeror shall provide the Brand Name, Model, and any other information to show that item meets salient characteristics.

ii) Sub-Factor 2 – Shipping to destination. To be determined acceptable the offeror shall provide:

(b) The name of the transportation company being used to ship the product to the final acceptance point in Cordova, Alaska.

iii) Sub-Factor 3 – Date of Delivery. To be determined acceptable the offeror shall provide:

(a) Estimated delivery date of the product if unable to deliver by 31 May

2026.

iv) Each technical capability sub-factor will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below. To receive an acceptable rating for this factor, all sub-factors must be rated acceptable.

Table A-1. Technically Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

b) FACTOR II – PAST PERFORMANCE. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. Performance risk is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation.

Past performance areas of evaluation include quality of service, timeliness of performance, business practices, customer satisfaction, and personnel.

i) Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past 3 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

ii) Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be of similar nature in work, size, magnitude, complexity, and scope. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation.

(1) Assigning Ratings. The Past Performance Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below. An award will not be made to any offeror who receives an “Unacceptable” past performance rating.

(2) Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

c) FACTOR III – PRICE. Price is not formally scored but is the primary evaluation factor for determining award. The government expects competitive offers to be submitted for this procurement and will use these competitive offers to determine price reasonableness. If competitive offers are not received, the Government reserves the right to utilize other methods identified in the FAR to determine price reasonableness.

i) Completeness. Each offeror is required to provide a complete pricing for each contract line identified.

Table A-2. Relevant Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

ii) The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options(s).

iii) Definitions.

(1) Reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.

(2) Completeness/Accuracy. The offeror is in compliance with the Schedule of

Items/Price Schedule contained/attached within the solicitation.
