52.212-2 ADDENDUM

Expeditionary Contracting Platoon, Camp Pendleton, CA, is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to procure a Barge from Koror, Palau to Peleliu, Palau. This procurement is conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) utilizing FAR Part 13.5 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures).

Incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-03, effective 17 January 2025 and DFARS Change Notice (DCN) 20250117, effective 17 January 2025.

BASIS FOR AWARD. The award basis will be based on best value quoter. The resulting award will be a Firm- Fixed Priced purchase order, to provide Barge services from Koror, Palau to Peleliu, Palau. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of offers submitted.

In compliance with Cargo Preference, the Contracting Officer may elect to only evaluate U.S. flag vessels, to include current U.S. flag vessels and vessels to be U.S. flag upon delivery.

EVALUATION. The Government intends to make a single Firm Fixed Price award, to satisfy this requirement. The award will be made on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to this RFQ.

The following ratings/definitions will be utilized for the Technical Capability factor:

RATING DESCRIPTION

ACCEPTABLE Quotation meets the requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Quotation does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

The following ratings/definitions will be utilized for the Past Performance factor:

RATING DESCRIPTION

SATISFACTORY Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

UNSATISFACTORY Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have “Neutral” past performance. In the context of satisfactory/unsatisfactory, “Neutral” shall be considered “Satisfactory.”

The Government may use information such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), SPRS, and the FAPIIS data available from Government sources to evaluate a Quoter's past performance.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate Quotes:

1. Vendor Threat Mitigation Form All interested vendors are required to submit with their quote/proposal the attached US INDOPACOM Foreign Vendor Information Sheet (Attachment 1). If the vendor fails to provide all the requested information, they will not be considered for contract award. Results from the Vendor Threat Mitigation (VTM) process may deem a vendor/offeror ineligible to receive a contract award. Provide all requested information on the attached Foreign Vendor Info Form. All data fields within the Foreign Vendor Info Form must be filled in to be considered a completed submission. If there are questions concerning on how to properly complete this document, please reach out to the Contracting Specialist/Contracting Officer.

2. Technical Technical Capability of the contractor to conform to all matters with respect to the solicitation and must provide the required service within the required specifications listed in Addendum 52.212-1(5).

Capability Plan: All interested vendors must submit their Capability Plan along with their quote. Failure to submit a Capability Plan will result in being technically unacceptable.

Subcontracting Plan (if required): For large businesses, the Government will evaluate the Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. Failure to submit and negotiate a subcontracting plan acceptable to the Contacting Officer will make the offeror ineligible for award of a contract.

3. Delivery The contract must meet the required delivery schedule needed. Contractors unable to meet the 30 March 2025 deadline will not meet the “Delivery” performance evaluation criteria.

4. Past Performance The apparent successful, prospective contractor shall have satisfactory past performance. Prospective vendor’s past performance will be reviewed using Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at https://www.cpars.gov, SPRS, DoD PPIRS, and the FAPIIS data available from Government sources. Prospective contractors with a Past Performance record that gives the Government a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort shall be rated as SATISFACTORY. Prospective contractors with a Past Performance record that does not give the Government a reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort shall be rated as UNSATISFACTORY. Prospective contractors without recorded past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance determination can be reasonably made, will be rated as NEUTRAL and will not be disqualified or viewed unfavorably. In the context of satisfactory/unsatisfactory, “neutral” shall be considered “satisfactory.” Past Performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3)(ii) and DFARS 213.106-2(b)(i).

5. Price In accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a), before making the award, the Contracting Officer will determine that the apparent successful, prospective contractor proposed price is fair and reasonable.

PRICING.

An adjectival rating will not be given to Pricing; rather, the Government will evaluate the unit pricing proposed by Quoters and the “Total Evaluated Price”. Quotes will be evaluated on completeness, accuracy, and reasonableness.

Evaluation of the quoted prices for the services will be based on a comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and may also be based on a comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) along with any other relevant price analysis techniques deemed appropriate.

Reasonableness. For the price to be reasonable in its nature and amount, it should not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of a competitive business. Reasonableness takes into account the context of a given source selection, including current market conditions, general economic conditions, and other factors that affect the ability of a Quoter to perform the contract requirements.

Normally, adequate price competition establishes a fair and reasonable price.

Completeness and Accuracy. The Government will review the contractors quote for completeness and accuracy. A determination will be made as to whether the Quoter properly completed the CLIN’s pricing.

The Quoter’s quote will be checked for mathematical correctness to include the following:

1) Checking arithmetic in all computations; and

2) Ensuring all prices are summarized correctly

The Government reserves the right to award no contract, depending on the quality of the quotes submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a single contract without requesting or accepting revised quotes. Therefore, the Offerors will be advised that their initial quote should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. The Government does reserve the right to clarify aspects of the quotes and request quote revisions.
