End of Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1

The provision at FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021). – Tailored is applicable to this solicitation.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes and are listed in descending order of importance:

Technical Capability: The Government will evaluate each quoter’s demonstrated capability to provide a sound, compliant approach that meets all the requirements listed in the Specification and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements. The Government will evaluate each quoter’s experience conducting major repairs/installs on DoD and USCG surface vessels and their workforce capability and capacity to perform the requirements. The Government will evaluate each quoter’s project planning document to determine the quoter’s understanding of the critical path and sequence of work items. The Government will evaluate each quoter’s coating plan and strategy demonstrating their ability to successfully meet the preservation requirements of the solicitation. The Government will evaluate quoters’ ability to meet qualified technical representative requirements cited on paragraph 3.1.2 in the multiple work items in the specification. The Government will evaluate each quoter’s overall approach to quality control. The Government will evaluate each quoter’s experience in the removal and renewal of hatch and scuttle assemblies. It is the quoter’s responsibility to ensure that their quote clearly addresses and demonstrates their ability to perform these requirements. Any quote that does not meet or address all Technical Capability submission requirements will be deemed unacceptable and may not be considered for award.

Past Performance: The Government may utilize any references provided by the quoter, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USCG and any information found using sources such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine the contractor’s past performance within the last three (3) years. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact and to contact references other than those provided by the quoter. Past performance less than satisfactory may not be considered for award. If a quoter does not have a history of relevant contract performance, or if past performance information is not available, the quoter will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably, but will receive a neutral past performance rating.

Price: The Government will evaluate the quoter’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for reasonableness. A quoter’s TEP shall be the sum of all CLINs within the submitted Price Schedule. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the CLIN prices are significantly unbalanced. Unit prices left blank or annotated with something other than a U.S. dollar figure will be considered unacceptable and the Government reserves the right to reject the quote without any further consideration.

In performing the best value tradeoff, past performance and technical capability, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Although price is not the controlling factor in award, it is an important factor. As the evaluation ratings of competing quotes under the non-price factors become closer to equivalent, price becomes more important. If competing quotes are substantially equal in technical capability and past performance, price may be the controlling factor in award. Award may be made to other than the lowest priced quote (based on the results of the tradeoff analysis between non-price and price factors) or to other than the highest non-price rated quote if determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

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