BASIS FOR AWARD AND EVALUATION FACTORS:

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(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.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

This is a competitive best value source selection in which competing offerors price and other factors will be evaluated; other factors being past performance history and technical approach. Past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with the procedures in FAR Part 13.106 or FAR Subpart 15.3, as applicable. Price, technical approach, and past performance are approximately equal to each other.

· PRICE: The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total proposed price for the basic requirement.

· TECHNICAL APPROACH: The Government will consider the offer’s technical approach to providing the ballistic PODIUMS. Aspects of the technical approach include the capability to manufacture and deliver the products, product warranties (and their provisions) and certificates, the function and durability of the product, and the consistency of the product design with the professional standards and ceremonial atmosphere of courthouse interiors.

· PAST PERFORMANCE: The Government will seek recent and relevant performance information based on the references if provided by the offeror and data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Relevant present/past performance is defined as effort involving a similar scope and similar magnitude of effort and complexity. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or so limited performance history that no assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall be considered “neutral” meaning past performance history will be treated neither favorably nor unfavorably.
