Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items

Addendum to 52.212-2(a), Paragraph (a) is tailored as follows:

1.0 Basis for Contract Award.

The Government intends to award one contract from this competitive Small Business Set-Aside service acquisition. Award will be made to the technically acceptable offer with the lowest evaluated price who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.104 and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation. Unless specifically identified in your proposal, by submission of its offer the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined ineligible for award.

This contract will be awarded as Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery (ID)- Requirements contract in which the Government will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures IAW FAR 15.101-2. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the correction potential of any proposal.

The judgement of such correction potential is within the sole discretion of the Government. If any aspect of an Offeror's proposal does not meet the Government's requirement, and is not considered correctable, the Offeror may be ineligible for award.

It is the Government's intent to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as describe in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal shall 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.

1.1 Evaluation Process.

Offerors will be ranked from lowest to highest based on initial assessment of Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

Followed by a full evaluation of technical acceptability. Price analysis techniques will be utilized to determine price reasonableness. Award will be made to the lowest TEP proposal meeting the technical acceptability standards (contingent on the offeror's responsibility determination). If award is to be made without discussion the evaluation factors and process to be used is listed below.

1.2 Price Factors.

1.2.1 Price Evaluation. An Offeror's proposed TEP will be determined by multiplying the estimated quantities identified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services by the proposed unit price for each CLIN to obtain an extended amount. These extended amounts for each CLIN will then be totaled to obtain the estimated total for each ordering period. The TEP consists of the overall total of all ordering periods. The Estimated total for each ordering period will added together to obtain the TEP.

The contract will include FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, with the potential to extend the contract an additional six (6) months beyond the awarded contract performance period. The price for that period will be determined based on the unit prices proposed for the current ordering period. For price evaluation purposes the prices for the extension of services will be based on the unit prices proposed for the fifth ordering period. In the event the Government requires continued performance, the Government's evaluation of prices proposed will be considered fair and reasonable as applied to an extension of services.

1.3 Technical evaluation.

If the Government receives three (3) or fewer proposals, all proposals will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) proposals, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced proposals and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional proposals for Technical Acceptability if in the Government's best interest. If additional proposals are evaluated for Technical Acceptability, they will be selected in the order of TEP.

1.2.2 Acceptability Ratings. The evaluation factors listed below will be evaluated and received one (1) of the following ratings:

(i) Acceptable - The proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

(ii) Unacceptable - The proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

1.3.2. Evaluation of Technical Factors.

Offerors are advised that their initial submission shall be their best effort. Only Technically Acceptable proposals, either initially or as a result of discussions (if conducted), are eligible for award. If award is made without discussion, proposal revisions will be not be permitted. The Government will evaluate the proposals selected above for Technical Acceptability on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. For the technical proposal to be rated as "Acceptable", all technical factors and subfactors must be rated "Acceptable". If any technical factor or subfactor is rated "Unacceptable", the overall proposal will be rated as "Unacceptable". The technical proposal will be evaluated for the following technical factors and subfactors:

(A) Factor # 1 - Approved DoD Bus Carrier

Standard:

All parties, to include offeror, subcontractors, and parties to any proposed teaming arrangement proposing to perform/performing the services as stated in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) shall be approved DoD bus carrier(s) IAW the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) approval requirements and the PWS paragraph 1.1.

The offeror shall provide verifiable documented evidence that demonstrates the offeror, to include any parties to any proposed teaming arrangement, is an/are approved DoD bus carrier(s) on the most current DoD Approved Carrier List available at http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/bus.cfm.

If the offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), to include a Mentor-Protege (M-P) relationship within a JV, then the parties to the JV, not the JV itself, shall be approved DoD bus carriers. The offeror shall provide verifiable documented evidence that demonstrates the parties to the JV are on the most current DoD Approved Carrier List.

Offeror's letter must indicate the name(s) of the carrier(s) as identified on the most current DoD Approved Carrier List. Revised (Amend. 4 - Jun 09, 2021).
