(End of provision)

9. The provision at FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation, Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (Nov 2021) and the addendum, applies to this acquisition.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

(1) Technical Capability

(2) Past Performance

(3) Price

Technical Capability will be rated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis, and Past Performance will be more important than price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offers specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of provision)

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation Commercial Products and Commercial Services The following is inserted as new paragraph (d) of the provision:

(d) Evaluation Factors for Award

Contract award shall be made on a Past Performance / Price Tradeoff basis. This process allows for a tradeoff between past performance and price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced quote or other than the highest rated quote to achieve a best-value contract award. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher-priced quote if the Government determines that the past performance of the higher-priced quote outweighs the price difference. The selection process is subjective by nature and professional judgment is implicit throughout the tradeoff process.

The offeror�s technical capability will be evaluated to determine if it is acceptable or unacceptable in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in this RFQ. If an offeror’s technical capability is determined to be unacceptable, the Offeror will no longer be considered for award. Award will be made to the Offeror providing a quote that is deemed most advantageous to the Government, whose technical capability has been determined to be Acceptable and trading off past performance against price. Past performance is more important than price.

The Government intends to award based on initial quotes. Notwithstanding this intent, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to conduct exchanges if it is within the best interest of the Government, a matter within their discretion.

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY:

The Government will use the following ratings/descriptions in Table 1 when evaluating technical capability:

Criteria Acceptable Unacceptable Must have a current Authorization to Operate (ATO) or the ability to obtain ATO 1.3.3

Instrumentation: Contractor shall provide two chemistry and immunoassay platforms capable of performing all chemistry and immunoassay testing that will meet all the requirement in sections

4.1.1 through 4.1.10

Automation: Contractor will provide automated system capabilities that include the all the requirements of sections 4.2 through 4.2.9

Data Management System: The contractor will provide a Data Management system that will provide all the requirements in sections

4.3 through 4.23.6.

Operator training: Contractor shall provide initial and recurring training to technicians on instrument use, maintenance, and troubleshooting of sections 4.4

Ratings Description

Acceptable Quote clearly demonstrates the offeror technical capability to perform all the required requirements in the statement of work

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly demonstrate the offeror technical capability to perform all the requirements in the statement of work

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE:

The Government will evaluate past performance by reviewing the offeror�s submitted past performance information and information from other sources that may include, information obtained by the Government using independent Government sources, to include: SAM.gov, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs), and the Contracting Officer's knowledge of each Offeror�s past performance.

The past performance evaluation will result in an integrated assessment of the offeror’s probability of successfully performing the RFQ requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in performing services the same as or similar to the services specified in the SOW. The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the offeror’s performance. The past performance confidence assessment rating is based on the offeror’s overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance. These are combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each offeror.

The Government will use the following ratings/descriptions in Table 2 when evaluating Past Performance.

Table 2. Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Adjectival Rating Description

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

The Government will use the following relevancy definitions when determining relevant Past Performance:

Very Relevant: Present/Past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort as this solicitation.

Relevant: Present/Past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort as this solicitation.

Somewhat Relevant: Present/Past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort as this solicitation.

Not Relevant: Present/Past Performance effort involved little or none of the scope of magnitude of effort as this solicitation.

FACTOR 3: PRICE:

The Government will evaluate the quoted price for price reasonableness. The following price analysis techniques may be used to ensure a fair and reasonable price: Comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation. Comparison of quoted prices with the independent Government estimate. Comparison of quoted prices with available historical information.

The quoted price will be evaluated for the entire effort, inclusive of all options. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Price must be determined fair and reasonable in order to be eligible for award.
