ADDENDA TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(1), the Government evaluation will be conducted on the offeror’s proposals considering price and technical capability. In using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) decision approach, the Government intends to award to the responsive and responsible offeror whose technically acceptable proposal has the lowest evaluated price.

A. EVALUATION PROCESS: The Government’s evaluation of offeror proposals will be conducted as follows:

i. Price. The Government will first evaluate all proposals for price utilizing the evaluation process outlined below under PART I – Price Evaluation, ranking the offerors from lowest to highest total evaluated price.

ii. Technical Capability. All proposals will then be evaluated for acceptability utilizing the evaluation process outlined below under PART II – Technical Capability.

a. All technical sub-factors must be assigned an "Acceptable" rating in order for the Technical

Capability factor to be determined technically acceptable.

b. Only those offerors whose proposals are determined to be technically acceptable shall be considered for award. A rating of unacceptable under a technical capability sub factor shall render the entire proposal unacceptable. The Government shall determine technical acceptability using the corresponding evaluation factors described in “Evaluation Factors for Award”.

iii. 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.

B. Evaluation Factors for Award. The aforementioned factors of Price and Technical Capability will be evaluated in detail as follows:

1. Price Evaluation.

a. Each offeror’s line item price will be verified by multiplying the quantities identified at the contract line item number (CLIN) level by the proposed unit price to confirm the extended amount for each CLIN (to include the base period AND the option years). The offeror’s total proposed price will be verified by adding base period CLINs and all option year CLINs. Comparisons of the proposed pricing by offerors received in response to the solicitation will be evaluated as an aggregate total representing proposed final contract price. For the evaluation of the option price pursuant to FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, 50% of the price(s) proposed for the last option period will be included in the total evaluated price (TEP).

2. Technical Acceptability.

Technical acceptability shall be evaluated against the following sub-factors:

A. Transition Plan- The offeror’s Transition Plan shall be evaluated for completeness in thoroughly addressing each of the areas identified in 52.212-1 Addendum to include associated approaches that demonstrate that the offeror shall successfully commence service on the contract start date.

Unacceptable basis. To receive an Acceptable evaluation, the proposal shall include at a minimum:

(i) A detailed description and complete timeline of all transition activities necessary to begin successful performance on 1 February 2017. Timeline not to exceed 60 days prior to start of performance.

(ii) Comprehensive description of the United Kingdom supply chain that shall be utilized to procure and store materials to ensure adequate supplies are available for the contract start date of 1 February 2017.

(iii) A detailed description of any required licenses, permits, approvals required to be obtained in advance of performance start and how the offeror will ensure they are in place

(iv) Description of the process used to ensure all personnel receive appropriate airfield training and airfield driving permits, base passes, and any airfield familiarization training.

Technically Acceptable /Unacceptable Ratings and Descriptions:

Acceptable: Proposal clearly meets all the technical minimum requirements of the solicitation. This sub factor has passed the evaluation.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not clearly meet all the minimum requirements of the solicitation. This sub-factor did not meet some or all of the minimum evaluation criteria in order for this sub factor to pass. Failure to address any sub-factor will deem a proposal technically unacceptable.

C.
