ADDENDUM 52.212-2

Evaluation – Commercial Items Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items The following is inserted as new paragraph (d) of the provision:

(d) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 15 and Air Force FAR Supplement (AFFARS) Mandatory Procedure (MP) 5315.3 in which competing offerors’ past performance information will be evaluated on a basis approximately equal to price. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and evaluation factors. The government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP), if the difference in the Past Performance Confidence Rating of another offeror justifies the higher price premium. In that event, the Source Selection Authority will make an integrated assessment best value award decision using the TEP and the Past Performance Confidence Rating. The evaluation process will include the following:

(1) Price Evaluation Factor. The government will evaluate all offers by price, including all option prices. The price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the total evaluated price (TEP). The government reserves the right to perform price realism analysis either to ascertain the offeror’s understanding of the requirement or to evaluate the feasibility of successful performance of the contract requirements at the proposed price.

Total Evaluated Price: A TEP will be computed for each offer in order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17. The price of a six-month extension authorized by 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, will be added to the proposed price for each potential contract performance period.

The TEP is a two-part computation.

First, the offeror’s total proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Attachment 4 Price Worksheet by the unit price, limited to two decimal places, for each Exhibit Line Item Number (ELIN) to derive the total amount for each CLIN; the sum of all extended amounts will be the offeror’s total proposed price.

Second, the total proposed price (total amount for CLINs 0001/ELINs A0001, A0002 and all option periods) plus the sum of Option to Extend Services clause 52.217-8 formula (shown below) will constitute the TEP.

The formula for the Option to Extend Services amount is as follows:

Base Year = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5*

Option Year 1 = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5*

Option Year 2 = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5*

Option Year 3 = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5*

Option Year 4 = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5*

Note: *0.5 is the multiplicative factor used to derive the 6 months quantity value.)

Evaluating the Option CLINs does not obligate the government to exercise the Options.

(2) Past Performance Factor. The government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on all offerors based on (i) the references provided by the offeror, and (ii) any past performance information obtained from survey/questionnaires and (iii) any data independently obtained by the government. If a reference identified by the offeror in accordance with 52.212-1(m)B.4(c), does not submit a survey/questionnaire, the government will follow up with the reference POC, but it is not responsible for the failure of a reference POC to provide a survey/questionnaire.

(A) Recent past performance information includes contracts performed and/or being performed for any customer within the last three (3) years from the issuance date of the solicitation (not to exceed five (5) contracts).

(B) Relevant contract performance efforts involve similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities to that required by this solicitation. The government will assess relevancy for each contract and assign a rating as described in Table 2 below:

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

(C) Performance Quality Assessment: For each of the recent past performance information reviewed, the performance quality of work will be assessed based on the (i) Quality Assessment Criteria evaluated under Section 4 of Present/Past Performance Survey/Questionnaire and (ii) the evaluation ratings in the Federal Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), if available.

(D) The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the degree of confidence the Government has in the offeror’s ability to meet the solicitation requirements based on the offeror’s demonstrated record of performance. The assessment process will result in an offeror’s overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence. Offerors with no recent past or present performance history or the offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned will receive the rating “Unknown Confidence,” meaning the offeror is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably (neutral). As a result of the relevancy and performance quality assessments, offerors will receive an integrated past performance confidence assessment rating as described in Table 3 below:

TABLE 3. Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings

Note: In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.

(3) The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

(4) Integrated Assessment. The government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest price offer if the difference in the Past Performance Confidence Rating of another offeror justifies the higher price premium. In that event, the Source Selection Authority will make an integrated assessment best value award decision using the TEP and the Past Performance Confidence Rating.” (end Addenda)
