ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Quoters

Addendum to FAR 52.212-1(b), Submission of quotes. This paragraph is tailored as follows:

Provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Quoters—Commercial, applies to this acquisition. Note below that an addenda to the provision 52.212-1(b) has been incorporated to solicitation N00244-25-Q-S127

Introduction and Purpose: This section specifies the format that Quoter shall use in this RFQ. The intent is not to restrict the quoters in the manner in which they will perform their work but rather to ensure a certain degree of uniformity in the format of the responses for evaluation purposes.

The Government anticipates award of single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract resulting from this solicitation. All responses to solicitation N00244-25-Q-S127 identify the Quoter’s agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in this solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation will be excluded from consideration.

Quotes shall be submitted to Jose G. Juarez at jose.g.juarez.civ@us.navy.mil no later than 10:00 AM

(PST) San Diego, California Time on 10 September 2025. Quoters shall submit their quotes via email only.

Each attachment shall contain the following items in addition to the other information required by this solicitation:

Quote: The quote shall indicate the following:

• Title of the Quote

• RFQ Number

• Name and address of Quoter, Cage Code, and UEI

• Quote validity period for 30 days from solicitation closing

• FACTOR I - The technical approach.

• FACTOR II - No more than 3 relevant and recent past performance references

(Relevancy refers to “how similar this work is to what the RFQ asks for” and Recency refers to work performed within the past two years).

• FACTOR III- Price

Quoters are advised to submit Quotes that are complete and clear in all respects without a need for additional explanation or information. Quoters are cautioned against general, vague, or insubstantial statements that prevent or render difficult the concise evaluation of the quote. The quote must be sufficient and complete to demonstrate how the Quoter proposes to comply with the contract requirements. Brochure Manship is not desired; clarity and completeness are essential. Quoters are cautioned against restating PWS requirements in their quote, particularly with regard to technical requirements and must state how all RFQ and PWS requirements will be met. Statement such as “the

Quoter understands” and “the Quoter shall/can comply,” along with responses that paraphrase the RFQ, are inadequate. The use of phrases such as “standard practices” (with a specific Government reference or industry reference) does not indicate that a Quoter understands the requirements and will result in a unacceptable evaluation. Quoters are hereby notified that the Government may contact references submitted by Quoters in the Past Performance and may use information in Government files or from other sources to verify information provided in the Quoter's quote.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (NOV 2021)

(a) The Government will make a single award to the responsible Quoter using a low price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection. The Government intends to award on initial quotes but reserves the right to conduct discussions. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Factor I – Technical (Do Not Include Pricing Info) Factor II – Past Performance Factor III - Price

(b) Options. (if applicable) The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

mailto:jose.g.juarez.civ@us.navy.mil

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote's specified expiration time, the

Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

***ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (NOV 2021)

If three (3) or fewer quotes are received, the Government will evaluate all quotes for technical acceptability. If more than three (3) quotes are received, the Government will then evaluate the three (3) lowest priced quotes for Technical Acceptability. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability. When the agency determines that none of the initial three (3) lowest priced quotes are qualified as acceptable, the Government may evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability. If additional quotes are evaluated, they will be evaluated in the order of increasing total evaluated price. The agency will reject and not consider for award any quote found technically unacceptable and ineligible for award under the terms of this RFQ.

Best Value will be based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach. For this solicitation, best value means a single purchase order shall be made to the responsible contractor whose quote is technically acceptable and quotes the lowest total evaluated price. The following three (3) factors shall be used to evaluate quote(s):

TECHNICAL APPROACH will be assessed by evaluating the vendor’s Technical Approach

Submission.

Technical Approach

The Quoter’s Technical Approach, which represents the minimum technically acceptable criteria, is listed below:

1. A quote that addresses ALL of the elements of the PWS.

NOTE: If the contractor fails to address in their quote submission any of the above, they will be deemed unacceptable and will not be further considered for award

The term “technical,” as used herein, refers to non-cost factors other than past performance. The purpose of the Technical Approach factor is to assess whether the Quoter’s quote will satisfy the Government’s requirements. The Technical Evaluation Team shall evaluate the Quoter’s submission against these requirements to determine whether the quote is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined in Table M-1.

TABLE M-1 TECHNICAL RATING

Overall Rating Description Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the RFQ.

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the RFQ.

PAST PERFORMANCE

Quoter’ s past performance information will be used to make a determination of whether the quoter has a satisfactory record of past performance. Quoters should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance of similar contracts performed within the past two years. Relevant work refers to “how similar this work is to what the RFQ asks for” and Recency refers to work performed within the past two years.

Past Performance information shall be completed as follows:

3 relevant and recent past performance references (Relevancy refers to “how similar this work is to what the RFQ asks for” and Recency refers to work performed within the past three years).

Information on problems encountered on each identified contract and the Quoter’s corrective action

In the case of an quoter 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 quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown. (See note below).

Unacceptable Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

PRICE

Quoter shall provide sufficiently detailed information to ensure a fair and reasonable determination of the proposed quote. Price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b).

The Quoter shall provide a single summary quote that supports the total amount of the deliverables listed in the Salient Characteristics. Pricing shall be firm-fixed pricing.
