ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

The award resulting from this solicitation will be an FFP task order. The government will award this requisition based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process to the Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9 Contractor Qualifications and whose Quote conforms to all contract requirements.

1.Technical Capability Offerors shall provide the required supplies in accordance with the Statement of Requirement (SOR). To be determined technically acceptable, an offeror must submit a quote that does not take exception to any term of the solicitation. The contracting officer will use the following rating table:

Rating Description Acceptable 1. Quote does not take exception to any term of solicitation and therefore clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable 1. Quote takes exception to a solicitation term(s) and therefore does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. Price

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the lowest price technically acceptable quote. The responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

3.Responsibility Determination An award will only be made to an offeror that satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104-l. The contracting officer may either make a responsibility determination without requesting any information from an offeror or require the offeror provide information to substantiate that it satisfies the general responsibility standard of FAR 9.104-1. The particular information requested from an offeror will be specific to that offeror.

For example an offeror that the contracting officer is less familiar with may be required to provide information not required from another offeror. The contracting officer may consider an offeror's inability to promptly respond to a request for information as an indication the offeror is non- responsible since FAR 9.103(c) obligates prospective contractors to affirmatively demonstrate their responsibility.

When the contracting officer requests responsibility information, the contracting officer's request, the offeror's response, and all related communications between the Government and offeror are solely for the purpose of determining whether the offeror is responsible. These communications will not constitute discussions within the meaning of FAR 15.306 since the offeror will not be given an opportunity to revise its quote

While the contracting officer may require the offeror to provide any information related to the standards at FAR 9.104-1, the following are examples of information that may be required:

l. A demonstration, through information such as bank references and financial information (e.g., most current annual balance sheet), that the offeror has adequate financial resources to perform the contract.

2. A demonstration the offeror's price is not so low as to call into question the offeror's capability to successfully perform the contract.

3. Past performance information on recent contracts for items similar to this requirement, including a point of contact for the Government activity or commercial entity customer.

4. A demonstration the offeror can comply with the required performance schedule, including a transition plan.
