Addendum to 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (DEVIATION MAR 2026)

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

Basis for Award (Comparative Evaluation)

1. General:

The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote is most advantageous to the Government, price and evaluation factors identified below. This acquisition is being conducted under the Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services of FAR Part 12.

2. Evaluation Process:

In accordance with FAR 12.203(c)(2) (FAR Overhaul - Part 12 | Acquisition.GOV) the Government will perform a comparative https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul/far-part-deviation-guide/far-overhaul-part-12#FAR_Subpart_12_2 evaluation of quotes. A comparative evaluation is defined as the act of comparing one quote to another in a side-by-side fashion.

• No Formal Scoring: The Government is not required to use formal evaluation plans, precise weighting, or adjectival scoring

(e.g., "Excellent" or "Blue").

• Direct Comparison: IAW FAR 12.203(b), Quotes will be compared against one another to determine which provides the best value. The Government will use their professional business judgment to determine if a quote’s technical superiority or more favorable terms (e.g., faster delivery, longer warranty) justifies a higher price.

• Price Consideration: The Government may make an award to other than the lowest priced quote if it is determined to provide the best value, or no award at all. The Government may conduct a price analysis at any point during the evaluation to assist in determining a best value at a fair and reasonable price.

• Quote Evaluation Approach: IAW FAR 12.203(c) and (c)(1) Quotations evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion. Government will consider all quotations or offers that are received timely.

3. Evaluation Factors:

The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes and quotes must first meet the minimum technical requirements to be considered for award:

• Technical Capability: Ability to meet the specifications in the Statement of Work. (narrative response of no longer than 10 pages).

(A) Technical approach narrative must demonstrate the offeror’s understanding of the project requirements, the scope of work, and the contract documents. Identify and address the specific needs and unique requirements for the scope, location, and schedule of this project.

(B) Demonstrate necessary expertise, licensing, certification, or other documentation and rationale to complete the contract requirements.

(C) Demonstrate understanding of how to organize, staff, and manage the contract, as well as the means and methods that will be used to accomplish the contract requirements.

(D) Demonstrate an understanding of project requirements for safety, sustainability, energy efficiency and risk management.

(E) Provide a schedule to show how work described in the SOW will be completed within the Period of Performance.

• Past Performance: Past performance will be evaluated to assess the level of confidence the Government has that the offeror will be successful in performing the tasks outlined for this effort in the SOW based on the extent to which an offeror has successfully performed and managed contracts, similar in nature to this acquisition. The recency and relevance of past performance, source of information, context of the data, and general trends in performance will be considered. The Government will consider performance quality of the offeror’s past performance by determining how well the contractor performed to establish a qualitative overall risk assessment rating for the past performance factor. Other Sources of Information. In evaluating past performance, the Government may consider data provided by the quoter, as well as, past performance data on other projects obtained from other available sources, such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the System for Award Management (SAM) or other Government databases; interviews with COs, Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs), and/or Project Inspectors with specific knowledge of the quoter’s performance to conclude general trends in the quality of work in the quoter’s performance record. While the Government may consider all available information and sources, the burden to provide complete, recent, and relevant past performance information rests with the quoter. If a performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, a neutral confidence rating will be assessed.

Provide past performance references can include the following information:

1. Name of Project

2. Location of Project

3. Contract Number

4. Period of Performance

5. Total cost for Project

6. Name of Agency/Entity

7. Point of Contact for Agency/Entity (including Phone & Fax Numbers)

8. Complete and thorough description of services performed Description should include specifics about the scope of projects completed.

• Price: Total evaluated price.

DIAR 1452.215-71 USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PROPOSAL INFORMATION -- DEPARTMENT OF

THE INTERIOR (APR 1984)

(a) Definitions. For the purposes of this provision and the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

(1) "Trade Secret" means an unpatented, secret, commercially valuable plan, appliance, formula, or process, which is used for making, preparing, compounding, treating or processing articles or materials which are trade commodities.

(2) "Confidential commercial or financial information" means any business information (other than trade secrets) which is exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirement of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Exemptions from mandatory disclosure which may be applicable to business information contained in proposals include exemption (4), which covers "commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential," and exemption (9), which covers "geological and geophysical information, including maps, concerning wells."

(b) If the offeror, or its subcontractor(s), believes that the proposal contains trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552), the cover page of each copy of the proposal shall be marked with the following legend:

"The information specifically identified on pages of this proposal constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract."

(c) The offeror shall also specifically identify trade secret information and confidential commercial and financial information on the pages of the proposal on which it appears and shall mark each such page with the following legend:

"This page contains trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and which is subject to the legend contained on the cover page of this proposal."

(d) Information in a proposal identified by an offeror as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information shall be used by the Government only for the purpose of evaluating the proposal, except that (i) if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information as provided in the contract, and (ii) if the same information is obtained from another source without restriction it may be used without restriction.

(e) If a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeks access to information in a proposal identified as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information, full consideration will be given to the offeror's view that the information constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information. The offeror will also be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide additional evidence and argument in support of its position, unless administratively unfeasible to do

so. If it is determined that information claimed by the offeror to be trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, the offeror will be notified of this determination prior to disclosure of the information.

(f) The Government assumes no liability for the disclosure or use of information contained in a proposal if not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision. If a request under the Freedom of Information Act is made for information in a proposal not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision, the offeror concerned shall be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide its position to the Government. However, failure of an offeror to mark information contained in a proposal as trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information will be treated by the Government as evidence that the information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, absent a showing that the failure to mark was due to unusual or extenuating circumstances, such as a showing that the offeror had intended to mark, but that markings were omitted from the offeror's proposal due to clerical error.
