ix. Addendum to: Provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability: The technical evaluation team will evaluate Sub-Factor 1 contained in Volume I – Factor 1, Technical Acceptability, and rate it as either “Unacceptable” or “Acceptable”. An “Acceptable” rating is required to be considered for award. An “Unacceptable” rating may render the entire quote unacceptable and therefore, un-awardable.

To be rated “Acceptable”: ‘Volume I – Factor 1, Technical Capability must contain a response that details the approach required to Engineer, Furnish, Install, and Test (EFI&T) an ISP project. The evaluation team must be able to identify that a complete end-to-end, functional and feasible approach has been developed with a sequenced rollout of steps. An “Acceptable” response must include a flowchart. An “Acceptable” response must include how the offeror will complete the project.

Factor 2 – Price: Price will be evaluated based upon the total contract value in order to determine if the quoted price is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 13.106-3.

a. Evaluation Process: Quotes will be ordered from lowest to highest price. The Government will evaluate the lowest priced quote for Factor 1 – Technical Acceptability. If the lowest priced quote is technically acceptable, then the evaluation will stop, and the Government will award to the lowest priced quote. If the lowest priced quote is not technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the next lowest priced quote for technical acceptability. This process will continue until there is a technically acceptable quote. The Government will then award to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror.

Offers are advised to include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3 (Dec 2022) Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, with their offer.
