(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (DEVIATION AUG 2025) The following provision is incorporated into 52.212-1 as an addendum to this solicitation. This addendum supersedes the standard version of FAR 52.212-1 and is tailored for Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

(a) Submission of quotes. Submit signed and dated quotes to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified. At a minimum, quotes shall include—

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The name, address, and telephone number of the quoter;

(3) The quoter's Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator;

(4) Information necessary to evaluate the factors contained in the provision at 52.212-2, as described in Section 5 of this solicitation;

(5) Responses to provisions that require quoter completion of information, representations, and certifications (other than those collected via SAM); and

(6) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and any solicitation amendments.

(b) Period for acceptance of quotes. The quoter agrees to hold the prices in its quote firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of quotes.

(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of quotes.

(1) Quoters are responsible for submitting quotes and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in this solicitation by the time specified.

(2) Any quote, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quote would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful quote that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotes cannot be received by the exact time specified, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt will be deemed extended to the same time of day on the first workday on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Quoters may withdraw their quotes by written notice received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, the quoter's initial quote should contain its best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest quote, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

(e) Debriefings. If a post award debriefing is given to requesting quoters, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed quoter's quote.

(2) The overall evaluated price and technical rating of the successful quoter and the debriefed quoter, and past performance information on the debriefed quoter.

(3) The overall ranking of all quoters when any ranking was developed during source selection.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award.

(5) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed quoter as to whether the agency followed source-selection procedures set forth in this solicitation and applicable regulations.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (DEVIATION AUG 2025)

(a) Evaluation Factors. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Technical

2. Past Performance

3. Price

(b) Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process in accordance with RFO FAR 12.201-1, where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit exceeding the minimum requirements but is not required to do so. Each quotation must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations. The evaluation will consider the following:

· Technical: The quotation will be evaluated on the extent to which the quoter demonstrates the ability to meet the Government's requirements as outlined in the Statement of Work, based on the information submitted in the quotation. Specifically, the Government will evaluate whether the quoter is an authorized Veeder Root service provider capable of performing testing in accordance with NHDES Env-Or 306.12, and the quoter's overall ability to fulfill the contract requirements.

· Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a quoter's likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation's requirements, as indicated by the quoter's record of past performance. The past performance evaluation may be based on the Contracting Officer's knowledge of and previous experience with the service being acquired; customer surveys and past performance questionnaire replies; the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other reasonable basis.

· Price: The Government will evaluate price by adding the total of all line-item prices, including all options. The Total Evaluated Price will be that sum.

(c) Options. The Government will evaluate quotations for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. This includes options under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which applies to this solicitation. Evaluation of options under FAR 52.217-8 will be accomplished by adding six (6) months of the quoter's price for the last potential period of performance (CLIN 4001) to the quoter's total price. Quoters must price only CLINs 0001 through 4001 and shall not submit a price for the potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8. The Government reserves the right to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8 before the end of any performance period; it will be exercised at the price and/or rates in effect at the time the clause is exercised. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(End of provision)

52.219-1 SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM REPRESENTATIONS (FEB 2024) (DEVIATION NOV 2025)

Quoters shall complete annual representations and certifications electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://sam.gov.
