52.212-2 -- Evaluation – Commercial Items

ADDENDUM as prescribed in FAR 12.301(c) –

(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 following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Price –the Government will award this requirement to the contractor based on the lowest total evaluated price of all CLINs

(Basic and all four Option years; to include the 6-month option IAW FAR Clause 52.217-8)

Each Contractor shall provide a firm fixed price for the Preventive Maintenance (PM) CLINs. The PM CLINs are as follows --

Basic Year 0001

Option Year 1 1001

Option Year 2 2001

Option Year 3 3001

Option Year 4 4001

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options – to include a six-month extension, which is equal to half of Option Year 4 – to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise any of the options.

(c) Evaluation Methodology. The Government will evaluate the three lowest-priced quotes to ensure solicitation conformance and balanced pricing. The PM CLIN prices for Basic Year and all Options will be added to the RM CLIN evaluation prices for Basic Year and all Options – plus a six-month extension – to determine the contractor’s total evaluated price (TEP).

Then, quotes will be evaluated for these three conforming, balanced quotes and they will be listed from lowest to highest price based on the TEP.

If one of the three lowest-priced quotes doesn’t conform to the requirements of the solicitation or contains unbalanced pricing, it will be rejected, and the next lowest-priced quote will be selected for evaluation.

The Government reserves the right to have interchanges with the contractors if more information is needed about a quote.

Award will be made to the contractor who provides the conforming quote with the lowest, balanced TEP.

NOTE: the TEP will differ from the actual award amount as the RM CLINs will be awarded with a fixed amount of money on them. These amounts will be based on past usage history of these

CLIN types for this type of service.

(d) 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 interchanges after its receipt unless a written notice of withdrawal is received from that contractor before award.

52.212-3 -- Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items.

The offeror shall complete only paragraphs (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) Web site located at http://www.sam.gov/portal (Only complete and return if there are changes to current SAM Registration. If 52.212-3 is not returned the contractor is affirming that the current SAM registration is current, accurate, and complete).
