SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Evaluation Factors for Award

The following clauses were modified:

52.212-2 - Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Oct 2021 hereby reads as follows:

As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows:

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(a) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will provide to be most advantageous to the Government, considering the factors listed in this provision.

1. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2, the Government will utilize comparative evaluations, and give preliminary considerations to all offers received in response to the solicitation. The Government may identify from all evaluated quotes readily discernible value indicators that fall within the parameters of the evaluation factors outlined in this provision. Therefore, the Government reserves the right to select an awardee that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum outlined standards, but is not obligated to do so. Additionally, the Government is not bound to select an awardee whose quote may exceed the minimum requirement, but whose additional value or benefit is not deemed substantial enough by the Government.

2. The Government is not limited to the quote that only meets the minimum described in the below factor(s) and provides the lowest price. However, if no quotes received in response to the solicitation exceed the minimum criteria outlined in this provision, as determined by the Government; then the Government intends to award a contract to the lowest priced offer that meets the instructions outlined in 52.212-1, and the minimum requirements outlined in this provision whose price can be determined fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer.

3. The Government intends to make an award without conducting interchanges with vendors after the close of the solicitation. Therefore, vendors should provide their best available pricing and technical quotes to the Government in their initial quote. However, the Government reserves the right to enter into interchanges with all, some, or none of the offers at any time during the evaluation period if deemed in the best interest of the Government to do so.

(b) EVALUATION FACTORS: The following factors shall be used by the Government to evaluate quotes: 1. Price: At a minimum, the vendor must provide pricing in accordance with the instructions outlined in Addendum FAR 52.212-1. The vendor that provides the lowest price that can be determined fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer may be given additional consideration for awardee selection. However, the Government is under no obligation to do so. The Government intends to only evaluate prices submitted under the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation section Supplies or Services and Prices/Cost. During the evaluation process the Contracting Officer will determine a "Total Evaluated Price" (TEP) for each responsive quote. The TEP is determined by totaling the amount of all line items identified in the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation section Supplies or Services and Prices/Cost. For the purposes of this evaluation, a price that is deemed too high while conducting the evaluation of the quote in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 may not be considered fair and reasonable. For the purposes of this evaluation, a price that reflects a lack of understanding of the requirement, or display an undue risk inherent to the vendors approach may not be considered fair and reasonable.

2. Technical Capability: At a minimum, offerors must provide documentation that outlines and describes the technical specifications of the products to be provided. The specifications must articulate how the products quoted by the vendor meets the technical requirements outlined in Attachment 1 - Statement of Work. The offeror must provide at total projected timeline to complete/deliver all items outlined in Attachment 1 - Statement of Work.

(c) 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.
