52.212-2 ADDENDUM

52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (ADDENDUM)

(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: Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach IAW FAR

13.5. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. It is the

Government’s intent to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the

Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines them to be necessary.

(b) The Government will rank proposals from lowest to highest based on Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Once the proposals are ranked by TEP the technical evaluations will begin starting with the lowest priced proposal. Technical evaluations will continue until the Contracting Officer determines 1) that a sufficient number of proposals have been determined technically acceptable to establish price fair and reasonable based on adequate competition and 2) a significant number of proposals have been determined technically acceptable to reduce the risk to the Government if the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable offeror fails to perform IAW the contract specifications. Once the

Contracting Officer determines the above criteria have been met, all further technical evaluations will cease.

(c) Evaluation Overview

Factor 1: Price

Factor 2: Technical Capability

Subfactor 2.1: Management Staffing Plan

Subfactor 2.3: Security Office with Top Secret Accreditation

Evaluation Criteria

Factor 1: Price

Proposed contract line item prices will be evaluated for unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items or sub line items appears to be significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. Various price analysis techniques and procedures will be used to ensure the proposed prices represent a fair and reasonable price.

It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness; however, the Government reserves the right, if it deems appropriate, to make these determinations by means of one or more price techniques established in FAR 13.106-3. The Government may determine an offer unacceptable if the proposed prices are unbalanced or not fair and reasonable. An offeror’s proposal may be rejected if the Contracting

Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government in the absence of discussions.

Upon validation of the acceptable offerors, the Government will award Lowest Price Technically Acceptable and price will be evaluated and determined as set forth in FAR Part 13.106-3.

Factor 2: Technical Capability

To be acceptable, the technical approach must describe the proposed Labor Category and how it relates to each task as identified in the PWS. Offeror’s approach shall also demonstrate the management approach for phase-in, team management, recruitment and retention that will meet the minimum qualifications and current security requirements

IAW DD Form 254.

DD Form 254 must be completed with subcontractor information if applicable.

Technical acceptability will be rated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis in accordance with the following table:

Table 1

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal DOES meet all of the technical requirements including subfactors

Unacceptable Proposal DOES NOT meet all of the technical requirements including subfactors

Failure to include any of the required elements indicated will result in the offeror being determined technically unacceptable:

Subfactor 2.1: The Management Staffing Plan will be considered acceptable if it clearly demonstrates:

An organizational structure and labor categories that fully demonstrates coverage of all work described in the PWS.

A comprehensive plan that demonstrates how the offeror will recruit, retain, and replace employees in accordance with the PWS requirements for the period of performance of this contract.

The proposal shall provide and demonstrate a sound and realistic approach to staffing to fulfill the contract requirements and estimated workload indicated in the deliverables of the PWS. Include a position description for the Management Staffing Plan. Offeror must demonstrate that all proposed employees currently possess appropriate clearance(s) to work within a SCIF, to include but not limited to, a current Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility to be found acceptable in accordance with PWS paragraph 4.3.3. The inclusion of resumes are not required.

Phase In Plan will be considered acceptable if it clearly demonstrates how the offeror intends to successfully be at

100% staffing level within 14 calendar days after award.

Subfactor 2.3: Security Office with Top Secret Accreditation:

To be acceptable an offeror must clearly show proof of security office with CAGE code and Top Secret Facility clearance accreditation with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) for employees. To be found acceptable an offeror must demonstrate that they currently possess a Top Secret Facility Clearance via DD Form 254 in accordance with PWS paragraph 4.3.3.
