ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:

This is a competitive simplified acquisition selection conducted IAW Federal Acquisition

Regulation (FAR) part s 12 and 13. The Government will select the best offer which conforms to the solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the submission instructions), and is judged, based on the evaluation factors to represent the best value to the Government IAW FAR

12.602(c). The Government seeks to award to the offeror who provides the best value in fulfilling the requirement. This may result in an award to a better value, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors, and the Government reasonably determines that technical capability and past performance of the higher priced offeror outweighs the price difference. The Government will review all documents for compliance and will conduct comparative evaluations of offers to determine best value. The

Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced offer if a higher rated offeror represents overall best value to the Government.

The following factors (correlating to the respective volume) shall be used to evaluate each offer:

Volume I: Technical Capability - Under this factor, the Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposed Technical Capability based on the offeror providing a performance management plan

(PMP) with their quote. Offeror shall use Attachment 2, PMP and address all areas identified in the attachment. All paragraphs 1 through 3 of Attachment 2 shall be completed. Page limitation excludes additional requested documentation in case of a team arrangement or subcontracting arrangement. Said additional documentation shall be combined into one pdf file.

During evaluation of each quote, the Government will assign a rating, as shown below, to identify an offeror's ability to accomplish this factor. Offerors will be scored by the following adjectival ratings for the overall Technical Capability factor:

TABLE A - Technical Capability Ratings

Rating Description

Outstanding Demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements, contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength.

Good Demonstrates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength or significant strength.

Acceptable Demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements

Marginal Does not demonstrate an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements and contains one (1) defiencies.

Unacceptable Does not meet the requirements of the solicitation and thus is ineligible for award and contains more than one (1) defiencies.

Volume II: Past Performance - Under this factor, the Government will evaluate the Offeror's Past

Performance based on the following four (4) criteria: Recency (within the last five (5) years) from the date of solicitation), Relevancy (same or similar scope of work), Quality (how well the offeror performed on past contracts), and Place of Performance (experience managing an overseas workforce). Each Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) received will be evaluated based on the above four (4) criteria resulting in an overall performance confidence assessment rating for an offeror.

Table B – Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings

Rating Description

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available, or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror 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 offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown

(or "neutral") past performance.

The Government will utilize the submitted PPQs to make its evaluation; however, the

Government also reserves the right to obtain information relative to present and past performance on its own from sources available to the Government. The quality of an Offeror's past performance may be reviewed and evaluated through the use of systems such as the

Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) via System for Award Management (SAM), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of this acquisition, or other sources or databases known to the Government. Interviews may be conducted with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Fee Determining Officials, Defense

Contract Management Agency or other sources known to the Government. *When a completed

PPQ is inconsistent with the Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) rating, the

CPARS report will take precedence. *

Price - Under this factor, the Government will evaluate the Offeror's Price based on the following:

1. Offers will be evaluated for (i) completeness and (iii) reasonableness. Offerors whose price is determined to be incomplete or unreasonable will not be considered for award.

(a) Completeness: Pricing will be reviewed to determine if all price information requested by the

Solicitation Package has been submitted.

(b) Reasonableness: For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a reasonably prudent person would expect to pay in the conduct of competitive business for the same or similar service. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 13.106-3(a).

(x) Offers must include with their offer a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror

Representations and Certifications-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (MAR 2025)
