1. General: The written technical documentation shall be clear, concise, and include all the information required by this provision in sufficient detail for effective evaluation. The documentation should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the quoter intends to meet these requirements.

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) may be searched to evaluate past performance and information may also be pulled from the System for Award Management (SAM) on SAM.gov, supplier

Performance Risk System (SPRS) and FAPIIS.gov, IAW FAR 9.104-6.

FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

FAR Provision 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statues or Executive

Orders – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Sep 2023) applies to this acquisition and the following evaluation is applicable:

a. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Part I - Price

Part II - Technical Documentation

Part III - Past Performance

Technical and past performance, when combined, are equal when compared to price.

A vendor must be determined to be responsible by the Contracting Officer in order to be eligible for award. Responsibility is described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 9.1, “Responsible

Prospective Contractors.” Part of the determination addresses financial capability. Please provide the names, addresses and points of contract for all financial institution organizations utilized to determine if contractor has adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them to include written authority to contact the provided financial institution.

b. 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 a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

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.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021).

1. Evaluation:

By submission of its quote, the offeror agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to adhere to all solicitation requirements may result in an offer being determined unacceptable and ineligible for further evaluation. The evaluation process follows:

Step I – Price Quote Evaluation

Initially, the Government will place all quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest total evaluated price (TEP). The TEP will be calculated by obtaining the price for each the base and all option years, provided in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, and calculate as follows:

Price Elements Tab Total

Base Year

(0001+0002+0003+0004+0005+0006+0007+0008+0009+

0010+0011+0014=total)

Option Year 1

(1001+1002+1003+1004+1005+1006+1007+1008+1009+

1010+1011=total)

Option Year 2

(2001+2002+2003+2004+2005+2006+2007+2008+2009+

2010+2011=total)

Option Year 3

(3001+3002+3003+3004+3005+3006+3007+3008+3009+

3010+3011=total)

Option Year 4

(4001+4002+4003+4004+4005+4006+4007+4008+4009+

4010+4011=total)

6 – Month Extension of Services See Note Below

Total Evaluated Price

NOTE: Six Month Extension of Services – The Government will evaluate the price of the six-month extension by taking the extended price for Option Year 4 and multiplying that by 50%. This six-month extension calculation will only be used during the evaluation of quotes. The actual value for the six-month extension will be determined IAW

FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, if and when the six-month extension is exercised during contract performance.

Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation. Normally, adequate price competition establishes a fair and reasonable price.

Quoters whose total evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 13.106-3) may not be considered for award.

Step II – Technical Documentation Evaluation

Next, the lowest total evaluated priced offeror will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the

Technical Requirement. The vendors plans shall demonstrate the quoters approach and ability to meet the PWS requirements to include:

Sub-Factor 1 The vendor will provide a plan to obtain required resources/equipment that effectively address all points as required by the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instruction to Offerors-Commercial

Products and Commercial Services.

Sub-Factor 2 Mission Essential Service Plan to include how the Offeror intends to continue performance during a crisis declared by the SECDEF and meeting requirements in DFARS 252.237-7024.

The quoter must effectively address all points as required by DFARS 252.237-7024 and addendum to

FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

To receive an overall “Acceptable” Technical Capability factor rating, all Subfactors must receive an

“Acceptable” rating. Alternatively, if an offeror receives an unacceptable rating in one or both Subfactors, that offeror will receive an overall technical rating of unacceptable and evaluation of that quote stops.

The technical factors will receive one of the following ratings listed below.

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Step III – Past Performance Evaluation

Next, the Government will evaluate the lowest total evaluated priced technically acceptable offeror for past performance with information gathered via the CAGE code submitted. The Contract Performance Assessment

Reporting System (CPARS) may be searched as will as the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) to evaluate past performance, and information may be pulled from the System for Award Management (SAM), IAW FAR 9.104-6. In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available on CPARS.gov, SPRS or SAM.gov or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown

(or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable".

In order for the Government to have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, the offeror must not be debarred, suspended or otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an award (ie. the offeror does not have derogatory information in www.sam.gov or www.fapiis.gov; nor has a

CPARS rating below satisfactory for any contracts, in the past five years. If the offeror is debarred, suspended, or otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an award (ie. the offeror does have derogatory information in www.sam.gov or www.fapiis.gov; or has a CPARS rating below satisfactory, in the past five years, for any rated category), then the Government would not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to Federal Awardee Performance

Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

Table A-2. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

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.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

2. Basis of Award:

If the lowest total evaluated priced, technically acceptable offeror receives an “Acceptable” past performance rating, that quote represents the most advantageous offer to the Government, evaluation of that quote is complete, and if the quoter is determined to be responsible, award will be made to that offeror, and the evaluation process will stop. If the lowest total evaluated priced offeror, receives either an "Unacceptable" technical or

“Unacceptable” past performance rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest total evaluated priced offeror will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until a technically acceptable offeror is evaluated to have an acceptable past performance rating and is determined to be responsible, or until all offerors are evaluated.

Clarifications conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting

Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for a quote revision. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions (while keeping with FAR Part 12 and 13). The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

The Government reserves the right to make an award to one quoter or to make no award at all.

In the case that a discrepancy exists between the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – http://www.sam.gov/

Commercial Products and Commercial Services and the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial

Products and Commercial Services, the evaluation criteria in the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation –

Commercial Products and Commercial Services will take precedence.

FAR Provision *52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Products and Commercial

Services (Sep 2023), with its Alternate I (Oct 2014), applies to this acquisition. All vendors must be registered in

System for Award Management at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ at the time of Quote submittal.

FAR clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions -- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Dec

2022), applies to this acquisition with the following Addendum: Paragraph (c) of this clause is tailored as follows:

Changes in the terms and conditions of this contract may be made only by written agreement of the parties with the exception of administrative changes, such as changes in the paying office, appropriations data, etc., which may be changed unilaterally by the Government.

Note: The vendor acknowledges that should the quote terms and conditions and/or agreement conflict with mandatory provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other Federal law applicable to commercial acquisitions, to the extent of such conflict the FAR and Federal law govern and conflicting vendor terms and conditions and/or agreement are unenforceable and are not considered incorporated into any resultant contract.
