FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:

The Government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote provides the best value to the Government IAW FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(II). The use of FAR 15.3 and DoD Source Selection Procedures are not applicable to this solicitation, or any award resulting from this solicitation. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter 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: Technical, Past Performance and Price

Solicitation Requirements (Terms and Conditions)

Quoter's are required to meet all material solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, deliverables, Statement of Work (SOW), etc. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Quoter being ineligible for award. Quoter's must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable, and the quote, therefore, ineligible for award. For a quote to be eligible for award, the quoter must have a current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM): https://www.sam.gov, prior to submitting a quote, IAW FAR 4.1102. SAM will be checked to verify the quoter's status before any evaluation is conducted. Quoter's are advised that their quotation may exceed the requirements of the SOW, but the Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotes, and each response must respond to the solicitation requirement stated in the RFQ. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and issue a purchase order based on the initial quotes received.

Therefore, the contractor's initial quote should contain the contractor's best terms from a pricing standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotes from, or discuss final terms with, one or more contractors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Additionally, the Contracting Officer will not establish a competitive range, conduct discussions, or otherwise use the procedures described at FAR 15.306.

Two copies of the quote are required: (1) original quote and (2) redacted and sanitized copy of the quote removing all company or personally identifiable information (e.g., company name, logo, individual names, etc.). Failure to submit redacted copy may result in disqualification.

FACTOR 1 - PRICE

PRICE - Price will be evaluated on a comparative basis amongst all received quotations and the Government's estimate, or in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be evaluated based on base quote and all options incorporated in this solicitation.

FACTOR 2 - TECHNICAL

TECHNICAL CAPABILITY - An offerer's quotation will be considered technically acceptable if it meets the subfactors listed below and the brand name purchase description specifications in Statement of Work (SOW) and other attachments. Quotations that do not meet these requirements will be considered unacceptable and therefore under the evaluation process will not be considered for award.

Evaluation will consider alignment with manufacturer's recommendations and industry best practices, as detailed in the quoters technical submission.

Rating Description Acceptable Submission meets the requirements of the solicitation with a low to moderate risk of unsuccessful performance Unacceptable Submission does not meet the requirements of the solicitation and there is a high risk of unsuccessful performance

Sub factor 1: Veeder Root Certification

FACTOR 3 - PAST PERFORMANCE

Past performance may be evaluated based upon previous experience with the similar commodity being acquired, services, customer surveys, past performance questionnaires and government-wide contract performance assessments rating system (CPARS). Quoter's may submit up to five (5) past performance documents, to display the quality of work performed. Quoter's must use the attached Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment 6, in order to submit past performance information. PPQ’s must be received from references, to be evaluated. If received from the quoter, the Government will not use the PPQ in the evaluation. For purposes of this evaluation, recency is defined as active or completed efforts performed within the past five (5) years from the date of issue of this solicitation. If the past performance is not considered recent, it will not be evaluated any further. Quoter’s shall submit a completed Financial Questionnaire Attachment 5.

The government may use a combination of the following methods to evaluate past performance:

• PPQ Submissions (Attachment 6)

• Relevant past performance identified by the Government from a wide variety of sources both inside and outside the Federal
