ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999).

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive best value source selection in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13 in which competing offerors’ past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than cost or price considerations. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and representations and certifications, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. All offerors will be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. This award will result in a Firm-fixed Price the terms of the model contract and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. When applicable, the price evaluation adjustment for HUB Zone small business concerns will be applied in accordance with FAR 52.219-4, Notice of Price Evaluation Preferences for HUB Zone small Business Concerns, to arrive at an evaluated price. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

a. Initially, offers shall be ranked according to price. An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the pricing schedule by the unit price for each item to confirm the extended amount for each line item for the contract. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price.

b. Using questionnaires, the contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information based on (1) the past and present efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Relevant performance includes performances of efforts involving manufacturing of Ceremonial Swords that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receives a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment rating. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in the solicitation, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence or Unknown Confidence as defined in AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, Table 3 and shown below. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will be considered less relevant than the prime contractor’s past performance data when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating”Unknown Confidence”, meaning the rating is treated neiterh favorably nor unfavorably. If the prime contractor has no past performance and relying on their subcontractor’s past performance, the prime contractor will be assessed an unknown confidence rating and depending on the past performance information on the subcontractor, tehir past performance will be assessed as defined in AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, Table 3 then the two ratings will be combined. Confidence ratings are defined as follows:

SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has an

LIMITIED CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has a low

NO CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE: No performance record is identifiable or the offeror’s performance record is limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

d. A relevancy determination of the offeror’s present and past performance, including joint ventures, subcontractors and/or teaming partners will be made. In determining relevance for individual contract, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Relevance will be assessed for contracts that are most similar to the effort, or portion of the effort, for which that contractor is being proposed, and may contribute to an overall higher relevancy determination for the offeror. The Government is not bound by the offeror’s opinion of relevance. The following relevancy definitions are:

Relevant - Present/Past performance effort involved some of the same or similar manufacturing of ceremonial swords as defined in the specifications with the same or similar scope, magnitude, and complexity this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant – Present/Past performance effort involved some of the same or similar manufacturing of ceremonial swords as defined in the specifications with the same or similar scope, magnitude, and complexity this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant - Present/Past performance effort involved either very limited or no services similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity this solicitation requires.

f. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.

g. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance rating that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

h. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. In that event, the Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision.

i. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the proposals preparation instructions. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors would not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

j. The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
