At a minimum, technical documentation submitted by the offeror shall include their intended approach to the fulfillment of the requirements stated in the PWS.

4. This is a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) requirement. A FFP contract provides for a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor's cost experience in performing the contract. Failure to provide pricing on any one line item may result in the vendor being deemed non-responsive, and subsequently being removed from consideration for award. To be eligible for contract award, the vendor shall have an active System for Award Management (SAM) account. Failure to have an active SAM registration may result in the vendor being deemed ineligible for contract award. Vendor shall provide Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) number at time of submitting their quote.

FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:

A. Basis for Contract Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, considering the factors listed in this provision.

1. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the Government will utilize comparative evaluations, and give preliminary consideration to all offers received in response to this solicitation. The Government will identify from all evaluated quotes with supporting documents, readily discernible value indicators that fall within the parameters of price, and technical capability.

Therefore, the Government reserves the right to select an awardee that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum outlined standards, but is not obligated to do so. Additionally, the Government is not bound to select an awardee whose quote may exceed the minimum requirement, but whose additional value or benefit is not deemed substantial enough by the Government evaluation team.

2. The Government award decision is not limited to the quote that only meets the minimum described in the technical factor and provides the lowest price. However, if no quotes received in response to the solicitation exceed the minimum criteria outlined in this provision, as determined by the Government evaluation team; then the Government intends to award a contract to the lowest priced offer than meets the instructions outlined in 52.212-1, and the minimum requirements outlined in this provision, whose price can be determined both "fair and reasonable" and "realistic" by the Contracting Officer.

3. The Government intends to make an award without conducting exchanges with vendors after the close of the solicitation.

Therefore, vendors should provide their best available pricing to the Government in their initial quote. However, the Government reserves the right to enter into exchanges with all, some, or none of the offers at any time during the evaluation period if deemed in the best interests of the Government to do so.

B. Evaluation Factors: The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Price: The vendor must provide pricing in accordance with the instructions outlined in 52.212-1. The vendor that provides the lowest price that can be determined both "fair and reasonable" and "realistic" by the Contracting Officer may be given additional consideration for awardee selection. However the Government is under no obligation to do so.

The Government will only evaluate prices submitted on Attachment III – Price Schedule. During the evaluation process the Contracting Officer will determine a "Total Evaluated Price" (TEP) for each responsive quote. The TEP is determined by totaling the amount of all line items identified in Attachment III.

Evaluation Criteria

The term "Fair and Reasonable" for the purposes of this evaluation is defined as the price is deemed too high when conducting evaluation of the proposed price in accordance with FAR 13.106-3, Award and Documentation.

The term "Realistic" for the purposes of this evaluation is defined as the price is deemed too low and reflects a lack of understanding of the contract requirements, or an undue risk inherent in the vendors approach.

2. Technical Acceptability: At minimum; the offeror must provide their intended approach to fulfill the requirements of the PWS.

The offerors’ technical acceptability documentation will be reviewed by the Government evaluation team, to include Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).

FAR provision 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items with alternate I applies to this acquisition;

the offeror verifies by submission of their offer that the representation and certifications currently posted electronically at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items, have been entered or updated in the last 12 months, are current, accurate, complete, and applicable to this solicitation.
