FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:

(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 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 consideration to all offers received in response to this solicitation. The Government will identify from all evaluated quotes, readily discernible value indicators that fall within the parameters of price, and technical capability. 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 evaluation team.

2. The Government award decision is not limited to the quote that only meets the minimum described in the technical factor 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 evaluation team; 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 both "fair and reasonable" and "realistic" by the Contracting Officer.

3. The Government intends to make an award without conducting exchanges 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 exchanges with all, some, or none of the offers at any time during the evaluation period if deemed in the best interests of the Government to do so.

(b) Evaluation Factors: The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Price: At minimum; the vendor must provide pricing in accordance with the instructions outlined in 52.212-1. The vendor that provides the lowest price that can be determined both "fair and reasonable" and "realistic" by the Contracting Officer may be given additional consideration for awardee selection.

However, the Government is under no obligation to do so.

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 offerors’ quote.

For the purposes of this evaluation, a price deemed too high while conducting the evaluation of the quote in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 are not considered "fair and reasonable".

For the purposes of this evaluation, a vendors quote that is not consistent with market pricing may reflect a lack of understanding of the contract requirement, or displays an undue risk inherent in the vendors approach may not be considered "realistic" unless the vendor can provide documentation showing their ability provide or meet the requirement.

2. Technical Capability: at minimum; the vendor must provide:

a. documentation that outlines 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 0001 - Statement of Work;

b. Images of the products to be provided as part of the quote IAW the Statement of Work (3.4)

c. Electrical connection requirement specifications including phase supply, voltage, amps and any need for a dedicated isolator switch.

d. outline of servicing agreement plan IAW Attachment 0001 – Statement of Work

e. a total projected timeline to complete/deliver all items outlined in Attachment 0001 -

Statement of Work, to include number of deliveries;

f. Storage space requirements to facilitate installation works

g. Size and type of vehicles for deliveries

Substantial benefits to the Government, as determined by the Government evaluation team, specifically in relation to the technical capability factor may be given additional consideration for awardee selection.

However, the Government is under no obligation to do so.

3. Options. Options are not applicable to this acquisition.

4. A written notice of award, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance outlined in 52.212-1 shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the quotes specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are exchanges after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

Provision 52.212-3 Alternate I, Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Items, or a cage code proving an active System for Award Management registration, shall be submitted with all offers.

Clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.

Clause 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders— Commercial Items applies to this acquisition.

Offerors or quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable.
