ADDENDUM to 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(a) Basis for Award. This procurement is being conducted pursuant to FAR Part 13 procedures. The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, offers the lowest price, whose offered price does not exceed the amount of funding available for the procurement, and whose offered price is found to be reasonable. Price alone is the sole evaluation factor. In addition to the general standards of responsibility found at FAR § 9.104-1, in accordance with FAR § 9.104-2, the special standards of responsibility described below apply to this procurement. Offerors who fail to meet any special standard of responsibility will not be eligible to receive contract award.

Special Standards of Responsibility: The following special standards of responsibility apply to this procurement:

SP1: Specialized Experience. Personnel performing work under the contract shall have specialized experience performing preventative maintenance inspection and corrective maintenance for all audiology diagnostic equipment listed in Attachment- “VA Audiology Equipment List”.

(b) Evaluation Process: The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations: Offers will be evaluated in the following manner. The lowest-priced offer will be identified. The lowest-priced offer will be evaluated to determine if the offered price exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement. If the offered price does not exceed the amount of funding available for the procurement, the offered price will be evaluated to determine if it is reasonable. If the offered price is found to be reasonable, the offeror who submitted this offer will be identified as the “successful offeror.” The contracting officer will then determine if the successful offeror is responsible using the general standards of responsibility and the special standard of responsibility applicable to this procurement. If contract award cannot be made to the successful offeror, the contracting officer will evaluate the next lowest-priced offer following the procedures described above. This process will continue until a contract award can be made, or the contracting officer determines that no contract award can be made. The contracting officer may find all offers not acceptable and cancel the solicitation if the lowest-priced offer exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement.

(c) Award Without Discussions. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at any time if determined by the contracting officer to be in the Government’s interest.
