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

As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows:

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers and are of equal importance:

•Price

•Technical capability

IAW FAR 12.602(b), technical capability may be evaluated by how well the proposed products and services meet the Governments requirement instead of predetermined subfactors. Technical evaluation would normally include examination of such things as product or service literature, product samples (if requested), technical features, and warranty provisions.

Technical capability will be evaluated based on how well the proposed service meets the Government's requirement based on specifications/salient characteristics outlined and listed in this solicitation and Attachment 1 - Performance Work Statement dated 24 July 2024. Strict adherence to the completion date is equally as important Price.

Lack of information regarding similar contracts held at other Federal installations is not considered a negative.

All offers received will be ranked based on their overall price based on the quantities and services provided. Starting with the lowest price offer, evaluations will be conducted to validate compliance with the Performance Work Statement and the instruction outlined in Attachment 4, 52.212-1 Instruction to Offerors. Once two (2) offers have been determined technically acceptable, evaluations will be concluded.

Both price and technical factors are approximately equally important in value for this determination.

This evaluation process allows the Government to make an award to other than the lowest priced offer if it is determined that a higher priced offer provides better value to the Government.
