Billy Morris Contracting Officer ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS—COMMERCIAL ITEMS

1. General Instructions for Proposal Submissions. The Government will determine the merits of each offer on the basis of (1) its acceptability, and (2) its price reasonableness. An offer is acceptable when it clearly evidences the offeror’s compliance, without exception, to meet the minimum requirements set forth in the solicitation. Failure to follow instructions provided in this solicitation may preclude the offeror from further consideration. Offerors should thoroughly review and be familiar with the requirements of the solicitation prior to submitting proposals in order to be fully aware of the scope of services required. Failure to do so will not relieve the successful offeror from performing in accordance with the strict intent and meaning of the terms and conditions without additional cost to the Government.

2. Requirements for Price Proposals. Price proposals consist of and must include the following:

The completion and submission of the above items will constitute an offer (Price Proposal) and will indicate the offeror’s unconditional assent to the terms and conditions in the solicitation and any attachments hereto.

3. Requirements for Technical Proposals. Each offeror must submit a written technical proposal for evaluation, which must provide sufficient information to demonstrate the capabilities to satisfactorily perform the requirement. Offerors shall ensure their technical proposal clearly identifies the applicable sections relating to each evaluation factor.

1. Below are the items required by each vendor soliciting for the award of the proposed contract:

a. Written business proposal of vendor’s capability and experience in reference to the requirements b Documentation of Board Certification or Board Eligibility

c. Past Performance under a contractual agreement to include performance rating

d. Copy of current licensure

e. Copy of CV for Psychiatrist proposed to assume contract position

f. Copy of Basic Life Saving (BLS) Certification

2. The following documents will be required after notification of award:

a. C&P: VA Form 10-2850C – Must be typed - Upon notification of selection

b. C&P: VETPRO Registration – Must be typed - Upon notification of selection in coordination with the VA Medical Credentialing Office

c. Documents authorizing proposed psychiatrist to be credentialed to see patients (Documents issued by VA for completion to start credentialing process)

h. C&P: VA0710-Authorization for Release of Information – Must be typed - Upon notification of selection

i. Activation of Talent Management Account for candidate (VA will assist)

4. Source Selection Decision.

a. The objective of the source selection is to select the offer that represents the best value to the Government. In order to select the offeror representing the best value, the Government will rate the offers by conducting a comparative assessment of all acceptable offers against source selection criteria in the solicitation. Benefits associated with additional costs will be identified and may be considered by trading off difference in capability and price. If one offeror has better capability and lower price, then that may be the better value. If one offeror has the better capability and the higher price, then the source selection authority (Contracting Officer) will decide when the difference in capability is worth the difference in price.

b. If the source selection authority considers the better capability to be worth the higher price, then the more capable higher-priced offeror will be the better value. If not, then the less capable, lower-priced offer will be the better value. The source selection authority will continue to make capability and price trade-offs until he or she has decided which offeror represents the best value to the Government.

c. Offerors are advised that source selection may result in contracts being awarded to other than the lowest priced offer or other than the highest technically rated offer based on Contracting Officer discretion.
