(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items. (JAN 2017)

1.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government contemplates award of a Purchase Order under the Best Value continuum using the Tradeoff source selection process as a result of this Solicitation. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose quote is determined to conform to the solicitation, Product Specification, meets the delivery requirements, rates the best in performance during testing, and is fair and reasonable in price.

In using the Tradeoff approach, the Government seeks to award to the Seller who gives the Government the greatest confidence that it will best meet or exceed the requirements affordably in a way that will be advantageous to the Government.

This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced quote where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the technical superiority of the product outweighs the cost difference.

The government does not intend to make an award at risk premium. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary but intends to award without discussions.

2.0 EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government’s evaluation will be based on the following factors and subfactors:

Factor 1. Technical Subfactor a. Adherence to Product Specification Subfactor b. Product Performance & Characteristics Factor 2. Past Performance Factor 3. Price

2.1 Relative Importance of Each Factor and Subfactor

Among the evaluation factors considered in the tradeoff decision, Technical, which includes the Adherence to Product Specification and Product Performance & Characteristics, is the most important followed by Past Performance, then Price.

Technical (which includes Adherence to Product Specification and Product Performance & Characteristics) and Past Performance, when combined are significantly more important than Price.

3.0 RATINGS

Each Seller’s response will be evaluated and the Government will make a determination of the relevancy and confidence level using the tables as listed below.

3.1 Adjectival Ratings-Technical Evaluation Factor/Subfactors

ADJECTIVAL RATING FOR TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTOR/SUBFACTORS

RATING COLOR DEFINITION

Excellent Blue

The written response adequately addresses all of the Government’s requirements in the areas of salient characteristics and delivery for the product and/or testing indicates that the product demonstrates excellent performance. The product has exceptional strengths that will significantly benefit the Government and overall low degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirements.

Good Green

The written response adequately addresses all of the Government’s requirements in the areas of salient characteristics and delivery for the product and/or testing indicates that the product demonstrates some significant strengths or numerous minor strengths, which are not offset by weaknesses, with an overall low to moderate degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirements.

Acceptable Yellow

The written response adequately addresses all of the Government’s requirements in the areas of salient characteristics and delivery for the product and/or testing indicates that the product demonstrates few significant strengths or numerous minor strengths, which are offset by some weaknesses, with an overall moderate to high degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirements.

Marginal Orange

The written response adequately addresses all of the Government’s requirements in the areas of salient characteristics and delivery for the product and/or testing indicates that the product demonstrates few strengths and numerous weaknesses with an overall high degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirement.

Unacceptable Red

The written response contains a major error(s), omission(s) or deficiency(ies). The response does not adequately address all of the Government’s requirements in the areas of salient characteristics and delivery for the product and/or testing indicates that the product demonstrates few or no strengths, many weaknesses, and cannot be expected to meet the requirements, with an overall very high degree of risk.

3.2 Adjectival Ratings-Past Performance Evaluation Factor

ADJECTIVAL RATING FOR PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR

RATING COLOR DEFINITION

Low Risk Blue Little doubt exists, based on the Seller's performance record, that the product can perform the proposed effort.

Moderate Risk Green Some doubt exists, based on the Seller's performance record, that the product can perform the proposed effort.

High Risk Red Significant doubt exists, based on the Seller's performance record, that the product can perform the proposed effort.

Unknown Risk Gray Little or no relevant performance record identifiable; equates to an unknown risk rating having no positive or negative evaluation significance.

Ratings will be assigned to each evaluation factor/subfactor with the exception of Price.

Respondents who fail to complete and submit the required documents may be considered non-responsive.

4.0 PROPOSAL EVALUATION

Each Seller’s technical and past performance responses shall be evaluated based on the factors/subfactors below, to determine if the product meets the requirements of the government and demonstrates that it will best meet or exceed the requirements affordably, in a way that will be advantageous to the Government.

4.1 Factor 1. Technical – Subfactor a. Adherence to Product Specification An acceptable response must fully address the salient characteristics of the product, the estimated delivery date, any exceptions taken to the product's specifications and/or delivery schedule, and additional terms/conditions proposed by the contractor and shall conform with the following:

The salient characteristics of the polypropylene membrane filters used in the FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-red) analysis for crystalline quartz in coal mine respirable dust samples are 19 mm diameter, 0.45 µm pore sized, and are hydrophilic with a typical thickness of 114 µm (4.5 mils). The membrane filters must have a uniform porosity and thickness and not contain any artifacts that interfere with the determination of crystalline quartz and kaolinite* by FTIR.

*Kaolinite clay can also be present in coal dust and interferes by absorbing radiation at the same wavelength as quartz. If kaolinite is present in the sample it must be quantified and subtracted from the measurement of quartz.

4.2 Factor 1. Technical – Subfactor b. Product Performance & Characteristics A sample of ten polypropylene membrane filters from each product bid shall be submitted with your quotation in order to be considered for award. The samples will be scanned by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-red) between the wave numbers of 1,000 and 700 cm¿¹ to view how much radiation is absorbed by blank filters and whether or not samples from the same lots are consistent. Blank filter scans will also be examined for residual peaks that show up at the same wavelengths where the laboratory measures for quartz and kaolinite, (815-770 cm¿¹ and 930-900 cm¿¹). If the media does not contain artifacts at those wavelengths and returns consistent blank scans for the entire lot, a slurry containing approximately 1.0 mg of respirable sized NIST 1878b quartz standard reference material in 15 mL of Technical grade isopropyl alcohol will be deposited on five of the filters via vacuum filtration to observe the time it takes for the slurry to make its way through the filter. The deposition process will include one rinse of the funnel with another 15 mL of isopropyl to duplicate the standard procedure used by the laboratory. Although there is no standard for the time it should take for a sample to be re-deposited on the polypropylene media, the lab is looking for filters that take the same amount of time or less than the time it takes using the current polypropylene media. This process will be duplicated for the remaining five filters using approximately 1.0 mg of respirable Georgia Kaolin so that all ten filters can be scanned by FTIR and calculate recoveries of the reference materials on the media.

Results should be within ± 10% of the weighed amounts.

4.3 Factor 2. Past Performance

Past performance shall be evaluated as a measure of the Government’s confidence in the seller’s ability to successfully perform based on previous and current contract efforts. In addition to information supplied by the seller, the government may review the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), and any additional information to which the Government has readily available. The Government reserves the right to verify statements and representations made in the quote. For sellers with no relevant corporate past performance, the Government may take into account information regarding the past performance of predecessor companies, key personnel with relevant past performance, or subcontractors that will perform key aspects of the requirement.

In addition, the product’s performance will also be evaluated through the examination of references for laboratories currently using the seller’s products. Please include names of customers that purchased the same proposed polypropylene media for the purpose of conducting quartz analysis using NIOSH Method 7603.
