(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

PAGE 25 OF 89 1333ND26QNB190295
ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (DEVIATION January 2026)
EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
1. BASIS FOR AWARD:
a. The Contracting Officer intends to award a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal the Contracting Officer determines represents the best value, price and other factors considered.
2. EVALUATION
a. Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors:
i. The evaluation factors include: Factor 1 – Technical Approach, Factor 2 – Schedule, Factor 3 – Past Performance, Factor 4 – Price. The non-price factors are Factors 1, 2, and 3. Factors 1, and 2 are relatively equal, and when combined more important than Factor 3. All non-price factors (1 – 3) when combined are more importance than Factor 4 (price factor)
ii. The Contracting Officer intends to award a contract to the Offeror whose proposal they determine represents a technically acceptable and fair and reasonable price to the government.
The Contracting Officer reserves the right to make no award.
b. Factor 1 – Technical Approach Evaluation of this factor is a subjective evaluation of the Offeror’s understanding of the solicitation requirements (clauses, provisions, and the SOWs) and demonstrates ability to meet contract requirements and SOWs based on the offeror’s proposed technical approach. A technical proposal that demonstrates a thorough understanding of all solicitation and project requirements will be rated higher than a proposal that does not clearly detail an approach, does not adequately address all aspects of the solicitation and project, and/or does not demonstrate the offeror’s technical capability to perform the work. Offerors must demonstrate the ability to mobilize and commence work within 10 calendar days of notice to proceed. This may include evidence of current operations, personnel availability, or other resources sufficient to perform the work in the project location. Additionally, if the Contracting Officer determines a technical proposal is primarily a copy and paste version of a SOW and solicitation requirements it may be removed from any further consideration for award.
c. Factor 2 – Schedule Evaluation of this factor is a subjective evaluation of the Offeror’s understanding of the work. A schedule offering a shorter period of performance while demonstrating understanding of the requirements of the statement of work may receive a higher rating.
The schedule will be evaluated in terms of completeness, timeliness of completion, and to ensure it presents a thorough understanding of the work required.
PAGE 26 OF 89 1333ND26QNB190295
d. Factor 3 – Past Performance
Evaluation of this factor is a subjective evaluation and will assess the relative risks associated with an Offeror’s likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation requirements as indicated by the Offeror’s record of past performance. In the absence of past performance the Offeror shall be rated as neutral in rating.
e. Factor 4 – Price Price will be evaluated based on the total price. The Government has requested, and shall evaluate, each Offeror’s detailed cost breakdown to determine the reasonableness and completeness of the price proposals. The Government will not conduct price realism as a part of price evaluation. One or more of the following techniques will be used to ensure a fair and reasonable price:
i. Comparison of proposed prices/costs received in response to the solicitation.
ii. Comparison of proposed prices/costs with the Independent
Government Estimate.
iii. Comparison of proposed prices/costs with available historical information.
f. CONFIDENCE RATINGS The following confidence ratings will be used to evaluate timely…
