ADDENDUM

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation--Commercial Items 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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical;

2. Price.

Award will be based on technical acceptability (acceptable or unacceptable) as defined in Table 1 and then lowest total evaluated price. Technical acceptability is more important than price.

Factor 1: Technical The Government's technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals using an Acceptable/Unacceptable Technical Rating. Technical acceptability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted in response to this request for quotation. Any subfactor evaluated as "Unacceptable" will render the entire proposal unawardable. Technical Tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. All offeror's shall provide with their proposal: descriptive literature, brochures, and a technical proposal response. Offerors must submit sufficient technical literature, documentation, etc., in order for the Government to make an adequate technical assessment of the proposed unit. The technical proposal response MUST include a written response to EACH paragraph of the purchase description, and provide sufficient supporting technical literature. Solely restating the paragraphs of the purchase description or limiting the response to a simple statement of compliance is not acceptable. Where the technical literature demonstrates that the proposed unit meets the requirement of a specific purchase description paragraph, you may reference that page and paragraph of the technical literature in your technical response in lieu of restating it.

Table 1 Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

Factor 2: Price The total evaluated price will be calculated as follows:

(1) On the basic year, the evaluated price will be the unit price proposed multiplied by the specified unit quantity (e.g. 2 EACH).

(2) The sum of all CLINs will represent the total evaluated price.
