(viii) The provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Services ADDENDUM to 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -Commercial Services

All questions must be submitted in writing to the POC listed below by 4:00pm CST on March 17th. All responses will be posted to this announcement by the end of the day March 18th.

The Government cannot guarantee any responses to questions received after this deadline.

All quotes submitted must include unit and extended prices for all CLINS listed in the schedule. Alternate schedule formats are permitted but must include pricing for all CLINS. Quoters must comply with the requirements at VAAR 852.219-10 and be registered with the Vendors Information Pages databases (www.VetBiz.gov).

The Government will evaluate past performance only using information in the quoters past performance record found on Government databases, such as Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). No past performance information or references are required for quote submission.

(ix) The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Services applies to this acquisition.

The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible quoter who meets the set-aside criteria of VAAR 852.219-10, and whose quote conforming to the RFQ is the lowest priced with acceptable past performance.

The Government will calculate the quote’s total evaluated price (TEP). TEP will be calculated by confirming the quote’s unit price multiplied by the quantity equals the extended price listed. If the calculation does not equal the extended price, the Government will correct this mathematical error and adjust the quoter’s extended price to reflect the correct calculation of unit price multiplied by quantity. The Government will then calculate the 6-month price for the option at FAR 52.217-8 by using the unit prices of the final year (option 4, CLINS 4001 and 4002) and multiplying those unit prices by 13 (6-months of service) to calculate the option FAR 52.217-8 extended pricing. This price will be included in the evaluation only and not included on any resulting contract award. The final extended price of all CLINS added together plus the calculated price of the FAR 52.217-8 option will determine the quoter’s TEP. Quote TEP will then be ranked from lowest to highest. Only the lowest quote will proceed to the past performance evaluation.

The Government will use Government past performance resources to assign the quote with one of the following ratings:

Acceptable: Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully performance the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable: Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

If the lowest priced quote is evaluated to have acceptable past performance, then that quote will be selected for contract award. If the lowest priced quote is evaluated to have unacceptable past performance, then the next lowest quote will move to the past performance evaluation step until a quoter is identified with acceptable past performance. The Government intends to make one contract award without discussions to the lowest priced quote with acceptable past performance.

(x) Offerors must include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Services when submitting their quote.
