FAR 52.212-2 – Evaluation – Commercial Items:

FAR 52.212-2 ADDENDUM:

EVALUATION

(a) Basis of Award: First, the Government will rank the quotations from lowest price to highest price, in order to establish the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The TEP will be calculated as the sum of the contractor’s prices submitted for the base period and all option periods including the 6-month Option to Extend Services (FAR 52.217-8). The Government will determine the 6-month option pricing by taking half the cost of the 4th option period and adding it to the total proposed price which will result in the Total Evaluated Price. Next, the Government will evaluate the technical volumes on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, starting with the quotation with the lowest TEP. Any sub-factor evaluated as “Unacceptable” will render the entire quotation unacceptable and, therefore not awardable. If the quotation with the lowest TEP is determined technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the contractor’s price, to include all options, for price completeness and reasonableness, as described above.

If the lowest priced quotation is technically acceptable and the TEP is complete and reasonable, this contractor’s quotation represents the best value to the Government and award will be made to that contractor. If the lowest priced quotation is not technically acceptable, the Government will consider the correction potential and may enter into interchanges with that contractor. If after interchanges with that contractor, their quotation is technically acceptable and remains the lowest priced (with the TEP complete and reasonable), the award would be made to that contractor. If the Government deems the quotation not https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ easily correctable, or if at any time it becomes other than the lowest priced quotation, the next lowest priced quotation will be evaluated for technical acceptability, followed by an analysis of their TEP to verify reasonableness and completeness. Interchanges will take place as necessary or deemed appropriate by the Government. The evaluation process will continue until reaching a technically acceptable quotation with a TEP that is reasonable and complete, or until all quotations are evaluated. The Government intends to make award based on the initial quotation submissions without conducting interchanges. Therefore, each offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to hold interchanges if, during the evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Interchanges are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the contractors that may address any aspect of the quotation and may or may not be documented in real time. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges using Interchange Notices (IN). Offeror responses to INs will be considered in making the order selection decision. Interchanges may be conducted with one, some or all offerors as the Government is not required to conduct interchanges with any or all contractors responding to this solicitation. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer is the lowest price, technically acceptable. This is an “all or none” requirement and will be awarded on one contract. Multiple contracts will not be issued. Vendors who do not quote the entire package requested will be considered non-responsive and their quotes will not be evaluated. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Technical Capability: The offeror’s technical approach describes, in detail, the offeror’s technical approach and overall ability to perform and understand the mission, challenges, scope of work, and purpose of the requirement from a technical standpoint;

The offeror’s technical approach reflects an understanding of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and describe a technical approach that demonstrates how the offeror will achieve timely and acceptable performance of tasks and how the offeror will ensure standards and deadlines will be met.

The offeror’s technical approach reflects an understanding of each of the key task areas and offer a specific approach for accomplishing each of the sub tasks in a way that reflects timely, cost effective, and quality deliverables;

The offeror’s technical approach includes training certificates or proof of experience to meet the training requirement.

The following ratings will be utilized:

TABLE A – Technical Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Quotation demonstrates a clear understanding of the requirement and meets the minimum requirements listed for all Technical Capability Factors.

Unacceptable Quotation does not demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirement and/or does not meet the minimum requirements of the Technical Capability Factors.

2. Price Quotation: Price quotations should support the proposed technical approach and will be evaluated for Total Evaluated Price (TEP), completeness, reasonableness and unbalanced pricing.

Offerors whose price is determined to be incomplete or unreasonable will not be considered for award.

A) The TEP will be calculated as the sum of the contractor’s quoted prices for the base period and all option periods plus the 6-month Option to Extend Services. For evaluation purposes only the Government will determine the 6-month option pricing by taking half the cost of the 4th option period and adding it to the total proposed price which will result in the Total Evaluated Price.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

B) Completeness. The quotation will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The contractor’s proposed price and other information entered into Attachment 4, Bid Schedule will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the technical volume and between the initial quotation and any revisions thereto. The review will determine the adequacy of the contractor’s quotation in addressing and fulfilling the solicitation requirements.

C) Reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 15.404-1(b)(2).

D) Unbalanced pricing. Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one (1) or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. The Government shall analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or sub-line items. An offer that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

In accordance with FAR 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations the following information is provided in regards to quotations.

A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier’s quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.

When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred.

If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer.

FAR 52.212-3 – Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Items: An offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically via http://www.acquisition.gov. If an offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically at the ORCA website, the offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (m) of this provision and must submit these paragraphs with their quotes.

FAR 52.212-4 – Terms and Condition – Commercial Items: Applies to this acquisition.

FAR 52.212-5 – Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders – Commercial Items (July 2014): Applies to this acquisition.

52.217-8 -- Option to Extend Services.

As prescribed in 17.208(f), insert a clause substantially the same as the following:

Option to Extend Services (Nov 1999)

The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days.

(End of Clause) 52.217-9 -- Option to Extend the Term of the Contract.

As prescribed in 17.208(g), insert a clause substantially the same as the following:

Option to Extend the Term of the Contract (Mar 2000)

(a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

(b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause.

(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 66 months.

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of quotations, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern.

(b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).

(c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the Center/MAJCOM or AFISRA ombudsmen, [Insert names, addresses, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, and e-mail addresses]. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the MAJCOM/DRU or ARISRA level, may be brought by the concerned party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (703) 588-7004, facsimile number (703) 588-1067.
