FAR 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS– COMMERCIAL ITEMS ADDENDUM:

Quotes shall include the following:

1. Pricing: Vendors shall complete Attachment 1 – RFQ Price Worksheet. The extended amount for each Line Item must equal the unit price multiplied by the number of units. It is imperative the mathematical calculations are correct. Numeric rounding shall be limited to two decimal places. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirements on the Pricing Worksheet. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable, if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

2. Past Performance Information: The government will evaluate the quality and extent of a vendor’s performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this solicitation. The government will use information submitted by the vendor and other sources such as other Federal Government offices, state and municipal offices, and commercial sources, to assess performance. Provide a list of no more than three (3) references, for the most relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers within the last three

(3) years from the date of issue of this Combined Synopsis/Solicitation. Relevant contracts include those with work similar in size and scope to the services described in the Performance Work Statement, to include experience in Supervision of personnel, providing equipment, materials and supplies, necessary to perform all of the Chapel Services in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. The evaluation of past performance information will consider past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. Furnish the following information for each contract listed:

(ix) FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items https://www.acquisition.gov/content/regulations

FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services applies to this acquisition with the following Addenda;

a. The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered.

b. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes in the following relative order of importance:

1. Price

2. Past Performance

c. Price - The Government will evaluate quotes by adding the total price of CLIN’s for all options to the total price for the basic requirement in order to determine the total quoted price for each quote (Base + 4 option years).

Quotes will then be arranged according to price, from lowest priced quote to the highest priced quote. The Government may determine a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

d. Past Performance - The government will begin evaluating past performance starting with the lowest priced vendor. Evaluation of the vendors past performance is subjective and will result in a rating of (See table below) Substantial, Satisfactory, Neutral, Limited, or No Confidence. Vendors who do not have recent and relevant past performance relating to this requirement will receive a rating of Neutral Confidence.

Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the Vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the vendor’s performance record is so sparse, no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

No Confidence Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

The Government will evaluate past performance for quality, recency, and relevancy.

Recency is defined as performance of similar services within the past three (3) years from the RFQ. Relevancy is defined as performance of similar services of the same magnitude and scope as those described in the RFQ’s PWS.

e. If the lowest priced vendor receives a Substantial Performance Confidence

Rating, that quote represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process will stop. Award will be made to that vendor without further consideration of any other quotes. In the event the lowest priced vendor does not receive a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the evaluation process will continue with the next lowest priced vendor until a vendor receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, or all vendors are evaluated. The Government will then determine whether the lowest priced of the quotations having the highest past performance rating represents the best value when compared to any lower priced quotation. The Government reserves the right to award to an other than Substantial Performance Confidence Rated vendor, and reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced vendor.

f. Your quote should include your best terms. The Government intends to award a contract without interchanges with respective vendors. The Government, however, does reserve the right to hold interchanges with one, some, none, or all vendors.
