Section M FAR 52.212-2 Addendum:

Evaluation Factors for Award

Offerors shall comply with FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services and the following addendum instructions to FAR 52.212-2:

(a) The Government will use FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures vs. FAR 15.3 Source Selection to evaluate offers submitted in response to the solicitation. The factors that shall be used to evaluate proposals are Technical Capability and Price. A proposal is unawardable at any price if, after final evaluation, the Technical Capability Evaluation Factor receives a rating of "Unacceptable". The evaluation permits tradeoffs between price and technical risk. Technical Capability is significantly more important than Price.

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation which provides the best value. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

i. Factor 1 - Technical Capability

a. Subfactor 1 - Schedule and Wash Effectiveness (Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method)

b. Subfactor 2 - Environmental Plan (Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method)

c. Subfactor 3 - Equipment Procedures (Step 1: Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method and Step 2: Technical Risk Rating Method)

d. Subfactor 4 - Subcontractor Management & Small Business Participation (Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method)

e. Subfactor 5 - Prior Experience (Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method)

ii. Factor 2 – Price

See FAR 52.212-1 Addendum: Instructions, Conditions, & Notices to Offerors or Quoters paragraph d) for required submissions for each Evaluation Factor and subfactors.

Definitions for evaluation are below:

Table 1: Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets minimum requirements of the solicitation. This is accomplished by demonstrating an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, small business objectives, and/or providing all required information.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is un-awardable and/or does not meet small business objectives.

Table 2: Technical Risk Rating Method

Low Proposal may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may potentially cause disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

Unacceptable Proposal contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.

(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.
