(End of Addenda to 52.212-1)

· The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The following evaluation criteria is to be included as part of paragraph (a) of this provision:

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Technical

(2) Price

(3) Past Performance

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive selection in which competing offerors’ present and past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than price. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions To Offerors, the offeror accedes to the terms of this solicitation and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

1. Technical Evaluation: Initially, all proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If an offeror is deemed technically unacceptable, no other part of their proposal will be evaluated. The technical evaluation is to ensure that a offeror can fill the position with a qualified individual. Ratings will be given on a pass/fail basis as follows:

PASS

Based on the information provided in the technical proposal, the offeror is able provide a qualified individual per the performance work statement (PWS) requirements. The offeror takes no exceptions to the requirements outlined in the solicitation or the PWS.

FAIL

Based on the information provided in the technical proposal, the offeror cannot provide a qualified individual per the performance work statement (PWS) requirements or the offeror takes exceptions to any of the requirements outlined in the solicitation or the PWS.

2. Price Evaluation. All technically acceptable offerors shall be ranked according to total evaluated price (TEP). TEP is calculated by adding together the base price and all option year prices. An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Price Exhibit by the unit price for each item to confirm the extended amount for each.

3. Performance Confidence Assessment. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the offeror’s ability to fulfill the solicitation requirements. A past performance evaluation will be accomplished for the purpose of assigning a Performance Confidence Assessment rating to the offeror’s proposal based on performance ratings of recent and relevant efforts. The Government will use the following procedures in evaluating past performance:

1. Recency: In order for past performance to be considered recent, performance must be ongoing or must have been performed within the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

1. Relevancy: Relevant performance information will be based on (1) the references provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will be considered as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. The past performance of teaming partners or subcontractors who are proposed to perform less than 30% of the work will not be evaluated. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving requirements that are similar or greater in scope and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. Relevancy will be assigned ratings of Very Relevant, Relevant, Somewhat Relevant, and Not Relevant. The Government will give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed very relevant to the effort. The following relevancy rating definitions will be used in the assessment of relevancy:

RELEVANCY ASSESSMENTS

1. Performance Confidence Assessments: The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the degree of confidence the Government has in the offeror’s ability to supply the services described in the solicitation that meet users’ needs, based on the offeror’s demonstrated record of performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence as defined below. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating “Unknown Confidence”, meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The Government will use the following Performance Confidence Assessment ratings in the assessment of performance confidence:

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

1. In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.

4. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is judged to be technically acceptable, have a “Substantial Confidence” performance rating and the offeror is determined to be responsible, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

5. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to be technically acceptable or have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to be technically acceptable and have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision.

6. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the proposal preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

7. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
