ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 – INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (SEP 2023) Provisions that are incorporated by reference (by Citation Number, Title, and Date), have the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available.

The following provisions are incorporated into 52.212-1 as an addendum to this solicitation:

The offer submitted in response to this solicitation must be in compliance with the requirements as stated in the solicitation and attachments and the Performance Work Statement (PWS). All claimed capabilities to meet the requirements shall be realistic and are subject to verification by the Government. Non-conformance with these instructions may result in rejection of the offer, an unfavorable offer evaluation, or being deemed ineligible for award. The Government will select the best offer which conforms to the solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the submission instructions), and is judged, based on the evaluation factors, to represent the best value to the Government. The Government seeks to award to the Offeror who is best suited to fulfill the requirement. This may result in an award to technically acceptable, higher priced Offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors, and the Government reasonably determines that the technical evaluation of the higher priced Offeror outweighs the price difference.

Offerors shall clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and shall provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions are unacceptable. Any exception determined unacceptable by the Government may result in the Offeror's offer being determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.

The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

Proposal Preparation Instructions To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the offer, the Offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. The offer must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation. Failure to provide the items listed below as Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV may render your offer incomplete. Incomplete offers will not be evaluated.

b. Submit an acknowledgment of all solicitation amendments, if issued.

Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the Government's best interest.

6. Discrepancies: If an offeror believes these instructions contain errors, omissions or are unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as remedies the offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the omission or error.
