Addendum, FAR 52.212-12, Evaluation - Commercial Items, is hereby tailored as follows:

a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

I. Technical capability of the items quoted to meet the Government’s requirement (Submit one copy).

This is a Brand Name. No additional “credit” can be given for exceeding established standards. No reconditioned or used parts are acceptable. Vendors are highly encouraged to submit commercial product literature, which represents the specifications of quoted items.

FA301622U0046 (Attachment 1)

The Government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical quotations on a pass/fail basis, based upon meeting the salient performance characteristics of the above items - in comparison to the Government's proposed model/solution, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable. If the Government's requested brand-name/model will be quoted, simply state the respective brand-name/model.

Rating Description Acceptable Quotation clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quotation does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Failure by the quoter to provide product specifications may result in not being considered for award by the Government. Only those quotations determined to be technically acceptable will be evaluated on price. If the quotation received is determined to be unacceptable, the vendor will be excluded from competition and will not be considered for award. Only those quotes determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of interchanges, will be considered for award. However, Quoters are reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial quote, as received, without interchanges.

II. Price (Submit one copy of Attachment 2).

All unit and extended prices provided shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. Extended prices must be divisible by the number of units proposed.

III. Basis for Award. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest priced quote meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors. An order may be awarded to the contractor who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.1, as supplemented, whose quotation conforms to the solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the solicitation instructions) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors, to represent the technically acceptable quote with the lowest complete and reasonable price.

The Government intends to make one (1) award based on the initial quote submissions without conducting interchanges. Therefore, each quote should contain the Quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to hold interchanges if, during the evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Interchanges are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the contractors that may address any aspect of the quote and may or may not be documented in real time. Interchanges, if necessary, will be conducted using Interchange Notices (IN). Quoter responses to INs will be considered in making the order selection decision. Interchanges may be conducted with one, some or all quoters as the Government is not required to conduct interchanges with any or all contractors responding to this solicitation.
