CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-

1 SECTION L

1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 This section provides general instructions for preparing offers as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the offer. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements in addition to those identified as evaluation factors and subfactors. Taking exception to any provision in the solicitation without addressing the exception with the contracting office before the offer due date specified within the solicitation will render the offer ineligible for award.

1.2 The anticipated Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract award under this solicitation will be a total small business set-aside made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, and FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures following the policies and procedures for solicitation, evaluation, and award.

1.3 Only offers received from eligible small businesses under NAICS code 541410 will be considered for award.

1.4 The evaluation of offers will be best on a best value basis in accordance with FAR 13.106-1 using a comparative evaluation of offers in accordance with FAR 13.106-2.

1.5 Vendors are hereby instructed that, regardless of any language that may be used in this solicitation, this procurement is being conducted under FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Offerors are advised that in accordance with FAR 13.106-2, the Government, at its discretion, may avail itself to one or more of the evaluations procedures in FAR Part 14 or 15.

1.6 An Offeror’s offer is presumed to represent the Offeror’s best efforts to comply with the solicitation requirements. Clarity and completeness of the offer are of the utmost importance. The offer must be written in a practical, clear, and concise manner. It must use quantitative terms whenever possible and must avoid qualitative adjectives to the maximum extent possible. Offerors are cautioned against restating PWS requirements in their offer, particularly with regard to technical requirements and must state how all RFQ and PWS requirements will be met.

Statements such as "the Offeror understands" and "the Offeror 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 an Offeror understands the requirements and will likely result in a diminished evaluation rating.

1.7 The offer should be complete as submitted and not include references to data or information previously submitted. Data previously submitted to the Navy, if any, will not be incorporated “by reference” into the offer and will not be considered in the evaluation of the offer.

1.8 At the Government’s discretion, the Contractor’s offer may be incorporated into the final contract, either in whole or in part.

1.9 The Government intends to award this contract without further exchanges with offerors. Notwithstanding this intent, the Government reserves the right, at the Governments discretion, to conduct exchanges with any or all Offerors and request revised offers.

1.10 The Offeror’s offer shall remain valid for at least 120 calendar days after the offer due date.

1.11 Questions regarding any aspect of this procurement must be submitted in writing via email only and addressed to patricia.castillo26.civ@us.navy.mil. The subject line of all email correspondence should state: RFQ N00244-25- Q-S110 QUESTIONS in the subject line.

1.12 Other methods of submitting questions are not authorized and may not be acknowledged or addressed. Both questions and answers will be posted to the Government Point of Entry for all parties to view. The Government will make every attempt to answer all questions in a timely manner. However, questions submitted within three (3) days of the posted closing date may not allow for ample time to respond, and Offerors cannot be guaranteed a response will be issued. All questions must be submitted by date referenced on solicitation.

1. OFFER

2.1 The Offeror’s shall provide a narrative, no more than two pages, that clearly demonstrates their ability to meet all of the taskings in the SOW and meet the additional requirements/responsibilities. As well as providing pictures and descriptions, no more than 5 pages, of similar projects completed for other clients.

2.2 The Failure to adequately address any of the required information may be considered a “material omission”, precluding further consideration for award. The narrative is not to be a restatement of the information contained in the PWS.

2.3 The price offer shall be firm-fixed-price and include all required services in the SOW.

EVALUATION FACTORS ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 SECTION M

1.0 EVALUATION CRITERIA 1.1 This procurement will be conducted in accordance with FAR 13 using a best value evaluation using a comparative evaluation of offers. The award resulting from this solicitation will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) commercial contract solicited through the open market via www.sam.gov. Award will be a total small business set-aside.

1.2 Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation requirements, is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The acquisition will utilize a comparative evaluation in accordance with FAR 13.106-2 to make a best value award decision.

1.3 An initial competitive pool of contractors to be evaluated will be established by evaluating the three (3) lowest priced offers. The government may, at its sole discretion, expand the competitive pool by any number of additional offerors at any stage of the procurement process as many times as it sees fit. If the competitive pool is to be expanded by less than the total number of responsible offerors, inclusion will be based on lowest price. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

1.4 Award will be made to the responsible offeror, in accordance with FAR Part 9.1, whose offer conforms to the solicitation requirements and is determined to be the Best Value Offeror after performing a comparative evaluation, where price and other factors are considered.

1.5 To make a determination of Best Value, the Government shall first perform a side-by-side comparative analysis (comparing contractor responses to one another) of the submission of each Offeror in the competitive pool, as described above, in response to the non-price factors to determine technically Best Suited. Then, the Government will compare the submission of each Offeror in the competitive pool considering price and performance Tradeoffs (if any), to determine the overall Best Suited offeror. The non-price factor is approximately equal in importance to Price. The Government reserves the right to consider an offer other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s).

1.6 The Government will not use any form of scoring schema nor use any adjectival grading in its evaluation. It will base its overall determination of suitability on the quality and completeness of responses compared to the other offerors, resulting in an offeror considered technically Best Suited, an offeror considered second Best Suited, and so on for all Offerors in the competitive pool. In the instance of technical parity, more than one offeror might be rated “first”, “second, or “third” best suited.

2.0 EVALUATION

2.1 The Government will evaluate each offeror against each of the other offerors in the competitive pool with respect to their compliance with the solicitation requirements. Specifically, the Government will evaluate the narrative for analysis of the performance requirements and explanation of the processes, best practices, and other methods the Offeror proposes in order to assess the offeror’s understanding, approach, and ability to meet the requirements in the PWS. The pictures and description will be evaluated to determine if the offeror has successfully completed similar projects.
