SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 24-Mar-2015 11:00 AM to 01-Apr-2015 10:00 AM.

The following have been modified:

52.212-2 (Addendum) EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

General Information:

1. Basis for Contract Award:

This acquisition will utilize Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures IAW FAR 15.101-2, as supplemented. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. Award will be made to the acceptable Offeror with the lowest evaluated cost or price, which is deemed responsible IAW the FAR and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by FAR 52.212-1 of this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offerors best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussion if determined necessary by the contracting officer.

2. Number of Contracts to be Awarded:

The Government intends to select one contractor for the award. However, the government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposals and prices submitted and the availability of funds,

3. Rejection of Unreasonable offers:

The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low cost/price when compared to government estimates, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.

4. Correction Potential of Proposal:

The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the” correction potential” of any proposal uncertainty. The judgment of such” correction potential” is within the sole discretion of the government. If an aspect of an offerors proposal not meeting the government requirements in not considered correctable, the Offeror may be eliminated from the competitive range.

5. Evaluation Factor:

Factor 1—Technical Proposal Factor 2—Cost/Price

a. Evaluation Methodology:

Only those offerors determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions will be considered. The price will be evaluated and the proposal will be listed from lowest to highest based on the total evaluated price either initially or as a result of discussion. Award will be made to the lowest evaluated priced proposal meeting the acceptability standard for the non-cost factors.

Factor 1—Technical proposal:

b. Technical Factors:

Acceptable—the proposal meets specified minimum technical evaluation requirements necessary for acceptable contract performance

Unacceptable—the proposal fails to meet specified minimum technical evaluation requirements necessary for contract performance. Proposal with an unacceptable rating are not awardable.

Technical acceptability will be based on an evaluation of proposal against the criteria stated below and other technical specification in the item description. Offerors are required to present all the information as stated in the Instructions to offerors, FAR 52.212-1. The minimum technical evaluation requirements are met when the Offerors proposal thoroughly substantiates all the following essential criteria:

“CONTRACTOR MUST PROVIDE IN WRITING A DETAILED APPROACH AND PROCESS TO

ENSURE ALL TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIAL ARE

MET, IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE. A STATEMENT OF “I

CONCUR” OR “CONCUR” WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED”.

Factor 2—Cost/Price:

c. Cost/price Evaluation: the offerors cost/price proposal will be evaluated for award purposes by adding the total prices for basic requirements (basic award)

Total Evaluated Price: Price analysis will be will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the offerors price proposal. Reasonableness will be based on the total evaluated price. The total evaluated price will be calculated price will be calculated as the sum of the contract line item number (CLIN) unit/extended prices plus other associated factors such as: first article testing costs transportation cost, price evaluation adjustments for Small Disadvantage Business Concerns, and application of labor hours to labor hours rate etc...

Unreasonably Low Cost or Price: Unreasonably low proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the Offeror does not understand the requirement or the Offeror has made unrealistic proposal

Unbalance Pricing: offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more CLIN is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques offers that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses and unacceptable risk to the Government.

6. Determination of Contractor Responsibility:

To be eligible for award, an Offeror must be determined responsible. A Determination of Contractor Responsibility will be conducted IAW FAR 9.1 (CCR, EPLS, and ORCA). Past performance information may be gathered from both government such as PPIRS, CPARS, and commercial sources. Offerors will not be penalized if no past performance is available. Past performance will either be satisfactory, neutral, or unsatisfactory. Offerors rated as unsatisfactory equals a determination of non-responsibility. Any unsatisfactory rating given to a small business will be referred to the Small Business Administration pursuant to FAR 15.101-2(b) and 19.6 for resolution. An Offeror who receives a determination of non-responsibility will not be eligible to receive the contract award.

7. Past Performance:

Past performance information may be gathered from both the government such as PPIRS, CPARS, and commercial source. Offerors will not be penalized if no past performance information is available. Past performance will either be satisfactory, neutral, or unsatisfactory, where satisfactory equals neutral or determination of responsibility, and unsatisfactory equals a determination of non-responsibility. Any unsatisfactory rating given to a small business will be referred to the Small Business Administration pursuant to FAR 15.101-2(b) and 19.6 for resolution.

8. Discussion:

It is the government’s intent to award without discussions: therefore, it is imperative that offerors submit their initially. However, if during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of government to hold discussions, Offeror responses to evaluation notice (EN), and the final proposal revisions (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. If a request for FPR is issued, Offeror responses to ENs must be included in the FPR in order to be considered in the final evaluation.

9. Solicitation requirement, terms and condition:

Offeror are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub-factors, and all technical specification of the item description. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms, condition and provide complete accompanying rationale. In the case that a discrepancy exist between the Instruction to Offeror and the evaluation factors for award, the evaluation criteria in 52.212-2 take precedence.
