(e) Multiple Offers. Not applicable.

(h) Multiple Awards. Not Applicable.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services

The provision is tailored as follows:

1. Basis for Award.

a) This acquisition is being conducted as a small business set aside IAW FAR Parts 12 – Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services and 13 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Quotes will be reviewed using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method.

b) Options. Not Applicable

c) It is the Government’s intent to evaluate quotes and award a purchase order without interchanges with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial quote should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price, and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

1.1. Evaluation Process. Offers will be ranked from lowest to highest based on the quoted price, followed by an evaluation of the technical acceptability of the three lowest prided quotes. If the https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/

Government deems it necessary, a technical evaluation of additional quotes, in order of price, may be conducted. A price analysis may be conducted to determine if the lowest price technically acceptable offer is fair and reasonable. A single award will then be made to the Offeror who has been determined responsible and has submitted the lowest price, technically acceptable.

1.1.1 Technical Evaluation. If the Government receives three (3) or fewer quotes, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability.

To confirm the capability, and therefore, acceptability, of the Offeror to meet the Government’s requirements as outlined in Attachment 3, Statement of Work (SOW) the Offeror shall submit with their quote, a clear, and concise Technical Capability Narrative that includes sufficient detail to substantiate the validity of the Offeror’s stated claim(s) that they are able to meet the requirement. The narrative shall not simply rephrase, reiterate, or restate the Government's own language, but rather shall provide convincing rationale describing how the Offeror intends to fulfill the requirement. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. The narrative should include as specifically as possible, the actual methodology that will be used for accomplishing and satisfying the SOW’s stated requirement(s). The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities, facilities, and experience, thus the technical evaluation will be solely based on the information presented in the Offeror's Technical Capability Narrative.

1.2. Ratings: Upon evaluation of the Technical Capability Narrative, the following rating will be assigned:

(i) Acceptable: The Offeror has provided sufficient information within their Technical Capability Narrative for the Government to evaluate and confirm their capability to meet all the requirements of the SOW.

(ii) Unacceptable: The Offeror has not provided sufficient information within their Technical Capability Narrative; therefore, the Government cannot confirm their capability to meet the requirements of the SOW.

1.3 Interchanges:

Interchanges can be informal or formal. The Contracting Officer may use e-mail, send an Interchange Notice (IN) or phone call, etc., asking for clarifications, change pages, revisions or other documentation.

The Government may conduct interchanges with one, some, none, or all Offerors at its discretion. Only quotes rated technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of interchanges, will be eligible for award.
