Addendum to 52.212-2 -- EVALUATION–COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

This will replace the below referenced paragraphs of the provision as follows:

(a) The Government will award a single contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is determined to be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) proposal. The Government may award without discussions, reserving the right to hold discussions if deemed necessary by the CO. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers.

The Evaluation Factors are:

(1) FACTOR 1: Price

(2) FACTOR 2: Technical Capability

a. Subfactor 1: Past Experience

b. Subfactor 2: Performance Management Plan (PMP) Quality Control Plan

(3) FACTOR 3 – Past Performance

FACTOR 1 – Price

Offerors will be evaluated on their Total Evaluated Price (TEP) which consists of the total amounts of all CLINs 0001 through 4006 and the 6 month option available from FAR 52.217-8 (as set forth in paragraph

(c) Options, below). NOTE: Only EURO currency offers will be accepted. Unbalanced prices may serve as a basis for rejection of the proposal. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and completeness of the TEP. The total evaluated prices will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness IAW FAR 13.106-3(a).

(i) Arithmetic Discrepancies. For the purpose of initial evaluation of offers, the following will be utilized to resolve arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the pricing schedule as submitted by the offeror.

(A) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(B) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price will govern;

(C) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;

(D) Apparent errors in extended prices per CLIN will be corrected.

FACTOR 2 – Technical Capability

Offerors will be evaluated on written documentation provided in accordance with paragraph (b)(4) of the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial. Technical acceptability is based on successfully meeting this requirement. Each outlined subfactor will be rated “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” as follows:

TECHNICAL CRITERIA RATINGS

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation and the contents of the offeror’s response indicate a clear ability to execute the requirement.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation and the contents of the offeror's do not indicate a clear ability to execute the requirement.

Offerors must receive “Acceptable” rating for each subfactor to receive an overall “Acceptable” rating in the technical evaluation. In the event one or more subfactors receive an “Unacceptable” rating, the proposal will receive an overall “Unacceptable” rating in the technical evaluation and their price submission will not be considered.

Subfactor 1: Past Experience. The submitted past experience evidence will be evaluated on the evidence of at least one year of contract performance (or the past experience of a joint venture partner or key subcontractor being intended to perform the solicited service, or instances where the offeror performed as a key personnel or a key subcontractor) during the previous 3 years, where the offeror is/was responsible for performing operational tests, maintenance and repairs of Fire Suppression Systems.

Offerors who fail to submit the requested Ansul training certificate and the trade register shall not be eligible for evaluation and award.

Subfactor 2: Performance Management Plan (PMP) Quality Control Plan (QCP). Attachment 5, Performance Management Plan (PMP Quality Management Plan (QMP) will be evaluated for the completeness and reasonableness reflecting the areas identified in the attachment. All paragraphs A., 1.

Through 5., and B., 1. Through 3, of Attachment 5 shall be completed.

FACTOR 3 – Past Performance

Past Performance will be evaluated based on a subjective assessment of how well the offeror performed on recent and relevant work, as outlined in Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1, paragraph (b)(10).

Past performance references of a joint venture partner, key subcontractor, or instances where the offeror performed as a key personnel or a key subcontractor will be accepted, but the offeror’s role must be clearly stated on the reference. The rating is based upon offeror-provided references, received PPQs, or information obtained by the Government from any other sources of past performance information, including, but not limited to, CPARS and FPDS. Offeror must receive “Acceptable” rating to receive an award, as follows:

PAST PERFORMANCE CRITERIA RATINGS

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note above).

Unacceptable Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “Unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable.”

(b) Award Process:

The Government intends to award to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror with an acceptable past performance rating. The Government reserves the right to hold discussions at any point during the evaluation, but reserves the right to award without discussion. The evaluation process is as follows:

(1) The Government will first evaluate all proposals for price, ranking the offerors from lowest to highest total evaluated price.

(2) Next, a technical and past performance evaluation will be performed beginning with the lowest priced offerors. Evaluations will stop when the first two technically acceptable proposals receive an acceptable past performance rating for price comparison purposes.

Only those offerors determined to be technically acceptable with an acceptable past performance rating, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award.

(c) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options, to include 52.217-8, to the total price for the 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). For the evaluation of the option price pursuant to FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, the prices proposed for the last option period (for 6 months) will be added to determine the offeror’s TEP. A written notice of award mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, shall not result in a binding contract without a written acceptance by the offeror.

(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C.

§6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability.

Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appear rights.

(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals Contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C.

§6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).
