(i) Factor 1, Technical Capability

(ii) Factor 2, Past Performance

Addendum to 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Items (OCT 2014) In addition to paragraph's (a) through (c), the following are added:

(d) Basis for Award: This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) technique to make a best value award decision. The application of the LPTA technique in the contract award selection and approval process is as follows:

(i) The Government will review the two lowest priced offers and if both are deemed technically and performance acceptable, award will go to the lowest priced offeror and no further proposals shall be reviewed.

If either of the two lowest priced offers are not deemed technically and performance acceptable, the next lowest priced offer shall be reviewed for technical and performance acceptability. If this offer is not deemed acceptable, this process shall continue until two offerors are deemed technically and performance acceptable or if only one of the offerors is deemed acceptable, a price analysis report shall be accomplished to determine price fair and reasonable. Note: In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), as prescribed in FAR 12.301(b)(1), "The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors" (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer (CO) to be necessary. A competitive range will be established and discussions will only be with those offerors in the competitive range. The CO may request offerors of marginal proposals to submit clarifications of areas identified by the technical proposal evaluation team. In initiating a request, the CO will set an appropriate time for submission of such information. Late submissions will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f) "Late Submissions". The clarification information will be incorporated as part of the proposal.

(ii) The lowest priced technically acceptable proposal will be deemed the successful offeror and award shall be made to this offeror, subject to a positive responsibility determination.

(e) Technical Area:
