(End of addendum)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

This addendum replaces the below referenced paragraphs of the provision as follows:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is determined to be the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) proposal with acceptable past performance. The Government may award without discussions, reserving the right to hold discussions if deemed necessary by the CO. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The Evaluation Factors are:

(1) FACTOR 1 – Price

(2) FACTOR 2 – Past Performance.

(1) FACTOR 1 – Price. Offerors will be evaluated on the GRAND TOTAL price resulting from the estimated total amounts of all CLINs, 0001 through 4001, for the base period and all option periods. The Government will only accept proposals in United States currency (USD). Unbalanced prices may serve as a basis for rejection of the proposal. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and completeness of the total evaluated price. Prices will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness of total evaluated price IAW FAR

15.305(a)(1),15.404-1, and 13.106-3(a).

(i) Arithmetic Discrepancies. For the purpose of initial evaluation of offers, the following will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the pricing schedule as submitted by the offeror.

(A) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(B) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price will govern;

(C) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;

(D) Apparent errors in extended prices per CLIN will be corrected.

(2) FACTOR 2 – Past Performance. In the evaluation of Present and Past Performance, the Government will consider the information received through the questionnaires, as well as information obtained from other sources.

Offerors will have the opportunity to address any negative performance information received that the offeror has not already had the opportunity to address. The Government may also seek past performance information from other sources, such as but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

The Government will evaluate past performance based on subjective assessment of how well the offeror performed on recent and relevant work, as outlined in Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1, paragraph (b)(10).

Past performance references of a joint venture partner or key subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, or relevant past performance of key personnel will be accepted. For assessing acceptable performance, the Government will translate ratings assigned on the PPQs, respectively. For ratings S (Satisfactory), G (Good) and E (Exceptional), the Government will consider the rating “Acceptable”; for ratings M (Marginal) and

U (Unsatisfactory), the Government will consider the rating “Unacceptable”. The Government will base the ratings on completed PPQs received from information retrieved from Past Performance Information Retreival System

(PPIRS). Offeror must receive “Acceptable” rating to receive an award, as follows:

PAST PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown (see note below).

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “Unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable.”

(b) Award Process: The Government intends to award to the lowest priced offeror with an acceptable technical ability, and past performance rating. The Government will evaluate all offerors’ proposed prices and past performance submittals. The Government reserves the right to hold discussions at any point during the evaluation.

(c) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

For the evaluation of the option price pursuant to FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, 50 % of the prices proposed for the last option period will be included in the Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

(d) 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.

(End of provision)
