ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items

FAR 52.212-2 is hereby tailored as follows:

1. Basis for Award.

a) This acquisition is being conducted as a 100% small business set-aside IAW FAR Parts 12 –

Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services and 13 – Simplified Acquisition

Procedures. Quotes will be reviewed using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method.

b) The Government will award a single Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to the technically acceptable

Offeror with the lowest price who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.104 and whose quote conforms to all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, required by this RFQ. Unless identified otherwise, by submission of a quote, the Offeror has agreed to all requirements included herein. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a quote being determined ineligible for award.

c) It is the Government’s intent to evaluate quotes and award a purchase order without interchanges with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial quote should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price, and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges if the

Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

1.1. Evaluation Process. Offers will be ranked from lowest to highest based on the price, followed by an evaluation of the technical acceptability of the lowest three priced quotes. If the Government deems it necessary, a technical evaluation of additional quotes, in order of price, may be conducted. A price analysis may be conducted to determine if the lowest price technically acceptable offer is fair and reasonable. A single award will then be made to the Offeror who has been determined responsible and has submitted the lowest, technically acceptable, price.

1.1.1 Technical Evaluation. If the Government receives three (3) or fewer quotes, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) quotes, the

Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes and then evaluate them for Technical

Acceptability.

To confirm the capability, and therefore, acceptability, of the Offeror to meet the Government’s requirements, the Offeror shall submit with their quote product literature sufficiently confirming that the product meets the brand name requirement. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities, facilities, and experience, thus the technical evaluation will be solely based on the information presented in the Offeror's product literature.

1.2. Ratings: Upon evaluation of the Technical Capability Narrative, the following rating will be assigned:

(i) Acceptable: The Offeror has provided sufficient information within their product literature for the Government to evaluate and confirm their ability to meet the brand name requirement.

(ii) Unacceptable: The Offeror has not provided sufficient information within their product literature; therefore, the Government cannot confirm their capability to meet the brand name requirement.

1.3 Interchanges:

Interchanges can be informal or formal. The Contracting Officer may use e-mail, send an Interchange

Notice (IN) or phone call, etc., asking for clarifications, change pages, revisions or other documentation.

The Government may conduct interchanges with one, some, none, or all Offerors at its discretion. Only quotes rated technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of interchanges, will be eligible for award.
