Instructions to Quoters - Addendum

FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, 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:

The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote provides the best value to the Government, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(ii) and FAR

2.101. There is no ranking or assigned importance to evaluation factor IAW FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(iii). The use of FAR

15.3 and DoD Source Selection Procedures are not applicable to this solicitation, or any award resulting from this solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Price, and Past Performance. Please see below for Price and Past Performance requirements.

Factor 1 – PRICE

Total Evaluated Price:

Only the total evaluated price (TEP) submitted in the quote will be evaluated; this includes the total CLIN pricing for the base year and all options years listed in Attachment 3 – Quoter Pricing Schedule, or any acceptable submission of quotes, as outlined in the Instructions to Quoters Addendum section above.

Options - The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). In accordance with FAR 52.217-8, the Government may require continued performance of services within the limits and rates specified in the contract. The rates shall be determined to be the unit price of each applicable CLIN, as stated in Schedule of the award of the CLIN, which corresponds with the most recently entered period of performance. Evaluation of quoted CLIN prices constitutes evaluation of the rates used for options exercised under this clause.

Factor 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE

Past Performance record history will be assessed as one of the multiple standards required for a successful quote to be determined responsible as described in FAR 9.104. Past performance can be evaluated based upon the contracting officer’s knowledge of and previous experience with the service being acquired, customer surveys, past performance questionnaires and government-wide contract performance assessments rating system (CPARS). Quoters may submit up to no more than three past performance documents, to display quality of work performed.

Quoters are required to meet all material solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, deliverables, Performance Work Statement (PWS), etc. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Quoter being ineligible for award. Quoters must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable, and the quote, therefore, ineligible for award.

For a quote to be eligible for award, the quoter must have a current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM): https://www.sam.gov/SAM, prior to submitting a quote, IAW FAR 4.1102. SAM will be checked to verify the quoter's status before any evaluation is conducted.

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

Solicitation Requirements (Terms and Conditions)

Quoters are advised that their quotation may exceed the requirements of the PWS, but the Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotes, and each response must respond to the solicitation requirement stated in the RFQ. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and issue a purchase order based on the initial quotes received. Therefore, the contractor's initial quote should contain the contractor's best terms from a pricing standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotes from, or discuss final terms with, one or more contractors if later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary. Additionally, the contracting officer will not establish a competitive range, conduct discussions, or otherwise use the procedures described at FAR 15.306.
