52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (Oct 2018) – Addendum

1. General Instructions A. The purpose of these instructions is to prescribe the format of the Request for Quote (RFQ) and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the RFQ data. This is designed to ensure the essential information required for evaluation is submitted.

B. The contracting officer urges the offeror to submit their best pricing and technical information upfront. The contracting officer may request at any time for the offeror to submit information, other than the certified cost or pricing data, to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

C. To assure the timely and equitable evaluation, the offeror shall follow the instructions contained herein. Offeror is required to meet and address all of the requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Offeror must clearly identify any exception to the terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The RFQ when submitted, shall be comprehensive, complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of the RFQ. Elaborate artwork, expensive paper/binding and expensive visual aids are neither necessary nor desired.

The RFQ response shall consist of:

(1) Price Volume

52.212‐2 ‐‐ Evaluation ‐‐ Commercial Items- Addendum

(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, price and other factors considered.

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

Factor 1: Price Factor 2: Technical

Past performance will be reviewed to identify potentially damaging information. Companies with multiple mark downs and unsatisfactory performance will not being considered technically unacceptable. Past performance confidence ratings will not be assigned.

Factor 1 – Price:

Price will be evaluated using the price analysis process established in FAR 15.404-1 to ensure the Government receives a fair, reasonable and balanced price. If the Government cannot determine the proposed pricing to be fair and reasonable, then “Other Than Certified Cost and Pricing Data” will be obtained from the offeror. The Government will evaluate the offer for award purposes for the total price for Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001.

In addition to the price analysis as described at FAR 15.404-1(b), price proposals will be analyzed to identify any potential unbalanced pricing (See FAR 15.404-1(g)). If the Government sees a wide variation in proposed contract line item prices, the technical evaluation board will be informed as soon as possible during the initial evaluation of proposals so the appropriate personnel may seek clarity through offeror exchanges. Absent any issues related to the stated requirement, unbalanced pricing may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject the offeror’s proposal.

Factor 2 – Technical:

The technical rating reflects the degree to which the offeror’s proposal meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements. The focus is on the ability of the offeror proposal to meet the minimum requirements of the SOR for all items required. Technical proposals will be assessed a rating of "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable." To be eligible for award, the offeror is required to receive an “Acceptable” rating for the entire CLIN. All CLIN items are equal in importance in regards to technical acceptance.

Table A-1: Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Award will be based on lowest price Technically Acceptable. The offeror’s technical proposal will be evaluated for the following:

TECHNICAL

The technical evaluation will be conducted on the offer and demonstration of the minimum capability to meet the requirements described in the Statement of Requirements (SOR) accompanying this RFQ. The proposal shall reflect comprehensive understanding of these requirements.
