Eric Tuck Contracting Officer A.1 This amendment changes the how the quotation packages be evaluated for award as stated in FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation -Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

What is stated below, superseded what is previously stated in Section E.2 52.212-2 Page 59 of the solicitation:

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (OCT 2014)

1. Offeror quotation packages, shall be evaluated under FAR Part 13.106-2(b) -- Evaluation of Quotations or Offers. Therefore, the Government is not obligated to determine a competitive range, conduct discussions with all contractors, solicit final revised quotes, and use other techniques associated with FAR Part 15. The contracting techniques associated with FAR Part 15 are not mandatory.

Therefore, all quotes will be comparative evaluated- An analysis of comparing each quotation with the other quotation received, to determine which one will provide the best benefit to the government.

Example of comparative evaluation

When (2) or more quotes are received, using the comparative evaluation; Contractor’s “A” quotation will be compare with Contractor’s “B” quotation and Contractor’s “C” compare with “A” and “B” and so on. Similarities and differences are documented and an award will be made to the Contractor whose quotation, as “whole”, offers the best benefit to the government over the other contractors.

The following areas will be use as guidance to compare each contractor with one another:

1. Testing Certification.

1. Years of Experience.

1. And how well a contractor performed on similar services for other government agency or company.

1. Pricing

3. Important notes:

0. The listing above is not in order of importance.

0. Low Price is not the only factor for award.

0. The Government reserve the right to review any resource for past performance, if deem necessary.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
