ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 – Evaluation

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price 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 will be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Factor 1: Technical Capability

2. Factor 2: Past Performance

3. Factor 3: Price

Basis for Award:

This is an acquisition conducted under FAR Part 12, informally utilizing the Best Value Trade-Off (BVTO) process similar to FAR Part 15. The Government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best overall value.

Factor 1 (Technical Capability) and Factor 2 (Past Performance), when combined, are more important than Factor 3 (Price). The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest-priced offeror, or other than the highest technically rated offeror if the Contracting Officer determines that the technical merit or superior past performance of a higher-priced proposal justifies the price premium. To be eligible for award, the offeror must receive a rating of at least "Acceptable" under Factor 1, have a past performance rating of "Acceptable" (or "Neutral "), and present a price determined to be fair, reasonable, and complete.

Factor 1: Technical Capability

The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical proposal to assess understanding of the requirements, technical viability, implementation feasibility, and associated performance risks. The proposal will be evaluated against the standards in the following two (2) sections:

Section 1 Proposed Strategy/Operational Plan: A step-by-step description of the proposed strategy/operational plan, to include a detailed timeline demonstrating project completion within the period of performance. It must confirm ability to provide the appropriate material-handling equipment to transport all vehicles and equipment for pickup and delivery.

Section 2 Facilities and Personnel: Evidence of the availability of an established, local (Guam) facility with the specialized capabilities and trained personnel necessary to perform and complete the requirement within the period of performance. It must also detail how heavy equipment will be secured in accordance with the PWS.

Rating: This factor will be rated using the rating below:

Outstanding: Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths; risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good: Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength; risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements; risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal: Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements; risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, contains one or more deficiencies, and is un-awardable; risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

**Note: An “Unacceptable” rating renders the entire quote ineligible for award.

The following may be considered as strengths:

• Proven, MIL-SPEC compliant surface preparation and application methodologies.

• Possession of specialized, industrial-grade containment and application equipment.

• Demonstrated proprietary or high-durability coating systems suitable for severe C5-M tropical marine environments.

• Immediate operational readiness with existing on-island footprint and facilities.

• Access to local transport assets (e.g., heavy-equipment flatbeds) for vehicle transport.

• Rapid turnaround time (TAT) per vehicle/asset.

• Dedicated on-site Project Manager with authority to make immediate operational adjustments.

• Pre-existing permits with Guam EPA and federal authorities for hazardous waste storage/disposal.

• Closed-loop wash racks and zero-discharge containment systems already installed.

• Fully certified (e.g., AMPP/NACE, SSPC) local labor force with security clearances/base access.

• Documented safety history compliant with OSHA maritime and DoW hazardous materials standards.

The following may be considered as weaknesses

• Reliance on generic or non-tactical coating processes.

• Inadequate quality control (QC) protocols for high-humidity surface prep.

• Lack of contingency plans for weather-induced application delays (monsoon/typhoon conditions).

• Vulnerability to trans-Pacific supply chain disruptions for replacement parts and consumable reagents.

• Inability to scale surge capacity during sudden operational readiness exercises.

• Dependence on temporary, rotational workforce requiring constant travel/badging coordination.

• Lack of experienced, certified applicators on-site during critical application phases.

• Unpermitted facilities requiring lengthy local regulatory reviews before commencement.

• Insufficient wastewater, overspray, or volatile organic compound (VOC) containment plans.

• Inadequate hazardous material disposal supply chain back to compliant facilities.

Factor 2: Past Performance

The Government will evaluate the recency, relevance, and quality of the offeror's past performance to assess confidence in their ability to successfully perform the required corrosion control requirement.

• Recency: Only contracts/projects performed or completed within the last three (3) years from the solicitation release date will be evaluated.

• Relevance: Relevance is defined as performance of specialized corrosion control, prevention and treatment services, to include specialized coatings, wash, and pain on both vehicles and heavy equipment.

• Quality: The Government may evaluate contracts submitted for Factor 2 for elements including performance and schedule based on information retrieved via the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) / Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), and any other federal databases, and interviews with points of contact submitted for Factor 2.

Rating: This factor will be rated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. In the event an offeror does not have Past Performance, they will be rated as Neutral.

Note: An "Unacceptable" rating renders the entire quote ineligible for award.

Factor 3: Price

Price will be evaluated for reasonableness and completeness. The Total Evaluated Price will be the sum of all CLINs for the entire period of performance.
