ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL

SERVICES

a. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible contractor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and issue a firm fixed price contract based on the initial offers received, utilizing the procedures found at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul Subpart 12.203 supplemented with additional information included in this document.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with Contractors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

Contractors shall include all four (4) volumes listed in Addendum to 52.212-1. Incomplete quotes may be considered non-responsive and removed from further consideration.

BASIS FOR AWARD

This is a Best Value procurement. The Government may elect to award to other than the lowest priced quote where the perceived benefits merit the higher price, and the price is determined fair and reasonable. Conversely, the Government may select a lower-priced quote, and the technical capability is rated as acceptable.

The Government will review quotes to determine if they are complete and compliant with the solicitation requirements. A compliant quote is one that meets all the terms, conditions, and specifications in the solicitation. The contractor shall provide all documents listed and shall comply with all RFQ instructions for the quote to be considered “compliant and complete” with this solicitation. The Government may consider a contractor ineligible for award if any required document was not submitted by the required date and time; it is incomplete (missing items, signatures, etc.), or it does not comply with format requirements.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Factor 1: Business Summary;

Factor 2: Technical Capability;

Factor 3: Price

Factor 2 is more important than Factor 1 and Factor 3, Factor 3 is more important than Factor

1. Evaluation factors other than price when combined are significantly more important than price.

Factor 1 Business Summary: Evaluation of this factor will be for completeness.

Completeness: The business summary will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the required elements listed in Addendum to 52.212-1 have been addressed. A business summary that fails to address all required elements may be excluded from further consideration.

Factor 2 Technical Capability/Medical Device and Equipment Risk Assessment Form:

Evaluation of this factor is a subjective evaluation of the contractor's understanding/capability/approach, demonstrated resources, and methods to meet all requirements.

The following adjectival ratings/definitions shall be used for the Technical Evaluation Factor. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Combined technical/risk evaluations shall utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed below.

The contractor’s quote will be evaluated to determine whether the proposed capability approach demonstrates a clear and unambiguous understanding and a demonstrated ability to meet the requirements. Failure to demonstrate a clear and unambiguous capability approach to meeting the requirements will result in an “Unacceptable” rating for this factor.

Technical

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Factor 3 Price: The Government will evaluate price for completeness and whether quoted prices are fair and reasonable. Prices must be entirely compatible with the capability portion of the quote.

Completeness: The Contractor’s pricing sheet will be reviewed to determine the extent to which the quote fulfills the solicitation requirements and whether all the price elements have been addressed.

The Contractor’s proposed price will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the solicitation requirements. The Government may make a final rating determination based on the quote as submitted without requesting any further information.

Fair and Reasonable: The degree to which the proposed prices, base period and Option periods, compared to the prices, a reasonably prudent person would expect to incur for the same or similar services. The Factor 4 – Price/Attachment II – Pricing Template and any pricing information submitted will be evaluated to identify unusual high-price, inconsistent pricing patterns, and potential misunderstandings of the requirement. Comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and/or comparison of quoted prices with the Independent Government Estimate and historical prices may be used to determine whether a price is fair and reasonable. A contractor with pricing that reasonableness is determined to be questionable for any period of performance may not be considered for award.

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful contractor 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.
