Addendum to 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

Evaluation of Quotes: The sections of the quote will be evaluated in the following manner.

1. Basis for Contract Award: The Government’s evaluation of offeror’s quotes will be conducted utilizing the evaluation factors of Part I-Price and Part II-Technical Specifications. Evaluation of these factors will utilize a

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach utilizing procedures in FAR 13.5. Quotes that do not meet the quote specifics will be deemed technically unacceptable, and therefore not considered for award. The Government intends to award a contract without formal discussions. Upon completion of the

Government’s initial evaluation of quotes, exchanges with offerors may occur, for purpose of clarifications and communications.

2. Evaluation Factors for Award: The Government’s evaluation of offeror quotes will be conducted as follows:

i. PART I – Price Evaluation: The offeror’s price quote shall be evaluated in the following manner:

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. The offeror’s total proposed price will be verified by adding all priced CLINs.

b. Comparisons of proposed pricing by offerors received in response to the solicitation will be evaluated aggregate totals.

ii. PART II – Technical Specification Evaluation: Technical acceptability shall be evaluated against the following sub-factors:

a. The offeror shall demonstrate their ability to meet the requirements within the Table 3.1. The offeror shall provide specific documentation with the quote to describe how the requirement will meet the salient characteristics.

Measure of Evaluation: This requirement is met when the offeror’s quotation includes:

Specific documentation on how the offeror intends to meet the requirement in Table 3.1.

b. System for Award Management (SAM) Registration or Offeror’s Representations and

Certifications: The offeror’s quotation will be evaluated for completeness in submitting required documentation verifying the offeror’s registration with the SAM or a completed copy of FAR clause

52.212-3, Offeror’s Representations and Certifications.

Measure of Evaluation: This requirement is met when the offeror’s quotation includes:

Copy of registration confirmation from SAM.gov or documentation confirming that registration has been initiated and FAR clause 52.212-3 is completed. Please note that registration must be completed prior to contract award.

mailto:samuel.lopez.4@us.af.mil

Technically Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable

Quotation clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. All factors and sub-factors have passed the evaluation.

Unacceptable

Quotation does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Each sub-factor must pass the evaluation in order for the technical factor to pass. Failure to address any sub-factor will deem a quotation technically unacceptable.

As a result of the Government’s evaluation, only those offerors whose quotations are assigned acceptable ratings will be considered for award. Under the LPTA evaluation process trade-offs will NOT be permitted between price, and non-price factors.
