The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(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.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

1. Basis for Award

a. The Government seeks to award to the responsive, responsible offeror that provides the most advantageous, best value, offer and conforms to the solicitation requirements will be awarded a contract provided the offeror is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9.

b. Offeror’s shall complete ALL CLINs (0001 – 4020) on the attached bid schedule. Failure to follow these instructions may be considered by the Government as non-responsive and cause for rejection of the entire offer.

c. The Government intends to award any resultant contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

d. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal.

Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Government reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

e. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors 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.

2. Evaluation Factors for Award

This section outlines the process used to evaluate each proposal. If at any point an offeror’s proposal is determined non-responsive, incomplete or unacceptable and/or receives a “No Confidence” for their Past Performance Rating the evaluation of that offer may cease and that offer may not be considered for award.

a. The evaluation process shall be conducted as follows:

1. Responsiveness – does the offer conform and provide all requirements outlined in the solicitation. This includes, but is not limited to, completing of FAR 52.212-3 Representations and Certifications FAR and DFARS reports in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. Failure to provide and/or complete all requirements may be grounds for a non-responsive determination and render the offer ineligible for further consideration/evaluation.

2. Two (2) evaluation factors will be used to evaluate the proposal: Factor 1. Price and Factor 2. Past Performance.

3. The evaluation of proposals will be conducted and in the following order:

i. Price – Offers will be sorted in order from lowest to highest based on the Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

ii. Past Performance

4. The offeror with the lowest TEP will be evaluated under Past Performance. If the lowest offeror receives a Performance Rating of “Substantial Confidence” and the Government determines the price fair and reasonable, then the Government will make award and not evaluate the remaining offerors. If the lowest TEP does not meet these standards then evaluation will continue until all offerors are evaluated or the next TEP meets the identified requirements above.

b. Factor I – Price

1. Price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the TEP

2. Total Evaluated Price (TEP)

i. The offeror’s total proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the SF 1449 by the unit price, limited to two decimal places for each CLIN, to confirm the extended total amount for each CLIN. The sum of all extended amounts will be the offeror’s total proposed price.

ii. In order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17, the government will evaluate the option to extend services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the offeror’s final option period prices to the offeror’s total proposed price. Offerors are required only to price the base and option CLINs. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six-month extension of services period.

iii. The offeror’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will include the base period, all option periods and the potential six-month extension of services period.

3. Price Reasonableness: The techniques and procedures described under FAR 13.106-3 will be the primary means of assessing proposal reasonableness.

c. Past Performance Information

1. For the purpose of this evaluation, “recent” is defined as performance occurring within the last three (3) years from the date of release of this solicitation.

i. The following relevancy definitions apply:

Table 1. Relevancy Ratings Rating Description Relevant Past performance of hood and duct cleaning services provided with at least 2 hoods and ducts serviced monthly or 18 annually.

Not Relevant Past performance of hood and duct cleaning services with less than 2 hoods and ducts serviced monthly or less than 18 annually.

ii. If the offeror is only able to provide one reference IAW the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 2.f.3.a, references two and three will receive a rating of “Unknown or Neutral Confidence.” Where no performance record is identifiable or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

If an offeror provides more than three (3) references, evaluation of references will stop after reaching the third, chronologically listed reference.

iii. The Government may use present/past performance information obtained from offerors’ references, other sources such as other federal government offices, Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)/Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARS), private and commercial sources, or any combination thereof. Consideration will be given to whether the present/past performance information is applicable to the prime contractor, teaming partners, and/or joint venture actually performing that part of the requirement. This information may include efforts performed by other divisions, critical subcontractors, or teaming contractors, if such resources will be brought to the current effort.

iv. The Government will evaluate all present/past performance information submitted by the offeror notwithstanding the paragraph above. Offeror’s will be offered the opportunity to respond to negative present/past performance reports if they have not had a previous opportunity to do so.

v. The lowest TEP proposal receiving an “Unknown/Neutral,” “Satisfactory,” or better confidence rating for Past Performance, either initially or as a result of discussions, may be considered for award. Offerors are reminded past performance is approximately equal to price. This may result in an award to a higher confidence rating, higher priced offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation criteria and a best-value determination.

However, the offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

Table 2. Past Performance Ratings Rating Description

Substantial Confidence

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

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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

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

Unknown or Neutral Confidence

No performance record is identifiable or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

3. Contractor Responsibility.

Prior to award, a responsibility determination will be made as described in FAR Part 9. If a contractor is deemed NOT responsible, they may not be considered for award.

4. Notice of Award.

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 offer’s 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. Offer acceptance period shall be through the date specified within the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 paragraph 2.b.
