5. Addendum to RFO 52.212-2 Evaluation--Commercial Products and Commercial

Services

I. The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the Best Value to the Government, price and other factors considered. Best Value means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the

Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. Offers that do not conform to the requirements of the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation or discussions. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

a. Technical:

Quotations will be evaluated to determine compliance with all requirements of the solicitation, including any attachments and exhibits. The evaluation criteria will be applied to all Quotations in the same manner. Each Quotation will be evaluated strictly in accordance with its content; the Government will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the Offeror’s written Quotation. A

Quotation must clearly meet all requirements (no partial Quotations shall be considered) to be considered “Technically Acceptable.”

Rating Description

Acceptable The Offer clearly meets requirements of all specifications provided in Attachment 1 –

Statement of Work (SOW).

Unacceptable The Offer does not clearly meet requirements of all specifications provided in Attachment 1

– Statement of Work (SOW).

b. Price:

Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. The Government is more concerned with obtaining the best value than with making an award at the lowest overall price to the Government.

However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to obtain an offer that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation and/or specifications.

a. The Government will evaluate the Price for completeness. Any incomplete pricing information may result in quote elimination and the

Offeror being determined ineligible for award.

b. The Government will evaluate the Price Factor for reasonableness. The

Government will conduct price analysis, using one or more of the proposal analysis techniques and procedures as defined in RFO 12.204, RFO 15.404-1 and R-DFARS 215.404-170 to ensure a fair and reasonable price.

II. 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.

6. Basis For Award / Evaluation Procedures:

I. The Government will first evaluate offers for acceptability. Offers will then be evaluated based on price. Award will then be made to the technically acceptable offer determined to represent the best value to the Government. If only one “Acceptable” offer is received, the Government will attempt to determine price to be fair and reasonable through means other than competition.

II. Award will be made on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to this

RFQ. Therefore, offerors are cautioned to ensure that initial quotes contain your best terms from a technical and price standpoint.

III. RFO 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items applies to this acquisition. No addenda to this clause.
