FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:

Instructions to Offerors

A. Basis for Contract Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, and which represents the most fair and reasonable. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Acceptability Factor 2: Price

B. Evaluation:

a. The Government intends to award a contract to the lowest priced offer that meets the instructions outlined in 52.212-1, and the minimum requirements outlined in this provision, whose price can be determined "fair and reasonable".

b. The Government will only evaluate prices submitted on the CDC Sheds Quote Response Spreadsheet (Attachment 3 to the solicitation).

c. Method: The Government will first review all quotes for compliance and then order the Offerors from lowest to highest total price. The two lowest priced quotes will then be evaluated for Factor 1, Technical Acceptability, on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If both quotes are deemed technically acceptable, the evaluation will stop and award will be made to the lower of the two. If one quote is deemed technically acceptable and the other is not, the award will be made to the technically acceptable quote. If both quotes are deemed technically unacceptable, no further consideration will be given to those offerors and the next two lowest priced quotes will then be evaluated; the Government will continue the evaluation process until reaching a technically acceptable quote. Quotes that are technically unacceptable are un-awardable.

d. The Government intends to make an award without conducting exchanges with vendors after the close of the solicitation. Therefore, vendors should provide their best available pricing and to the Government in their initial quote. However, the Government reserves the right to enter into exchanges with all, some, or none of the offers at any time during the evaluation period if deemed in the best interest of the Government to do so.

C. A written notice of award, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance outlined in 52.212-1, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quotes specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are exchanges after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
