INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS (ADDENDUM to 52.212-1)

1.0 Procurement Structure and Objective

The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price Requirements type (FFP) contract to satisfy this requirement. This requirement is being solicited as a Request for Quote (RFQ); submission of a quote does not guarantee receipt of an award.

2.0 General Instructions

2.1. This competitive acquisition will be conducted utilizing price as the only evaluation factor. Past Performance record history will be assessed as one of the multiple standards required for a successful offeror to be determined responsible as described in FAR 9.104. Contract award will be made to the offeror with the lowest total evaluated price (TEP). The quote shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Non-conformance with the instructions provided in the Instructions to Offerors may result in a quote being ineligible for award.

The offeror shall complete schedule of supplies or services and prices/costs of the solicitation to include all unit prices and extended prices for each CLIN. These instructions are to assist you in submitting information required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed prices/costs. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your quote.

Price Reasonableness and Balance:

Offeror's quote will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror. Additionally, unbalanced pricing may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror's quote.
