(viii) 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items applies to this acquisition

ADDENDUM to RFO 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS:

(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 considering price and other factors.

(b) The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

Factor 1. Technical capability or quality of the item offered to meet the Government requirement Factor 2. Price Factor 3. Past Performance

(c) Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The evaluation will consider the following:

Factor 1. Technical capability or quality of the item offered to meet the Government requirement: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government’s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation.

Factor 2. Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line item prices. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability or quality of the item offered to the Government requirement, as stated in Factor 1, shall not be selected regardless of price.

Factor 3. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate on how well the offeror identified performance relates to the requirement procured under the PWS for this procurement to determine relevancy. How well the offeror performed on identified contracts shall be used to assess performance confidence. The Government may use other methods to evaluate past performance, including but not limited to review of Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and as appropriate, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Acquisition Information Repository, accessible through the Defense Technical Information Center website.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

(d) Options. The Government will evaluate quotations for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. <This includes options under RFO 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which applies to this solicitation. Evaluation of options under FAR 52.217-8 will be accomplished by adding six months of the quoter's price for the last potential period of performance under this contract to the quoter's total price. For example, if the contract includes option periods that are exercisable under RFO 52.217-9, the quoter's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, all option periods, and an additional six months of the last option period. Quoters must price only the base and option periods specified in the contract line item numbers (CLINs), and shall not submit a price for the potential six-month extension of services under RFO 52.217-8. The Government reserves the right to exercise the option under RFO 52.217-8 before the end of any of the contractor's performance periods and will be exercised at the price and/or rates in effect at the time the clause is exercised. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
