ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2:

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a solicitation that utilizes FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and will utilize the best value to the Government evaluation procedures and fair and reasonable determination. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, the offeror accedes to the terms of this solicitation. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

A. Price Evaluations.

A.1 Pricing must be good for a minimum of 60 days from submission of proposal.

A.2 Reasonableness: For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 15.404-1(b)(2).

A.3 Unbalanced pricing: Contractors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one (1) or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. The Government shall analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or sub-line items. An offer that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

B. Technical Capabilities Evaluations.

B.1 The technical capability of each responsive offeror will be evaluated as either acceptable or unacceptable based on the Government’s evaluation of the offeror’s submission of the following:

- A copy of the technician’s EPA 608 certification(s) to handle refrigerant for the technician that will be at Offutt AFB doing the work.

C. Past Performance Evaluations.

C.1 The past performance of each responsive offeror will be evaluated as either acceptable or unacceptable based on the Government’s evaluation of the offeror’s submission of the following:

-The offeror must provide:

D. Completeness of Quote.

Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the RFQ to permit a meaningful assessment of technical acceptability. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal.

D. Award.

The Government will start evaluations by identifying the quote with the lowest price first. That quote will then be evaluated for price, technical approach and past performance. If the price, technical approach and past performance are all determined to be acceptable, then the Government shall award to that offeror with no other evaluations taking place. If the lowest priced quote is not acceptable, then the Government shall evaluate the next lowest priced quote using the same procedures. The Government intends to award the contract without discussions. If the Government decides to conduct discussions, all offerors will be notified as soon as possible.
