[End of Provision Addendum]

52.212‐2 ‐‐ Evaluation – Commercial Items

As prescribed in RFO 12.205(a)(2), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends all language therein:

1.0. Two-Factor Competition

1.1 Basis for Contract Award. This acquisition will utilize two factors for choosing a successful Offeror:

a. Technical Acceptability [pass/fail]; and,

b. Lowest Total Price.

Award will be made to the responsible Offeror with technically acceptable approach and the lowest total evaluated price (TEP); additionally, the quote must conform to the solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, and certifications). In order to be eligible for award, the Offeror must be able to provide and install a Next Generation High-Pressure Cold Spray System with the four Brand Name components and all other items and services mentioned in the solicitation and Statement of Work (SOW); no other brands than what are specified in the solicitation and attachments are acceptable for those four components.

1.2. Interchanges. The Government intends to issue the award without interchanges; however, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges with one, some, or all Offerors if later determined to be necessary by the Contracting Officer. The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received; therefore, the Offeror’s initial quotation should be complete and contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

1.3. Solicitation Requirements (Responsibility and Terms and Conditions). Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, and representations and certifications, in addition to the price and technical factors. The Government will also review Offeror data in SAM.gov, the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) application, and anywhere else information can be found in order to determine that Offerors are responsible.

1.3.1. Responsibility. This is the status of a prospective contractor determining that it does or does not have the capability, tenacity, and perseverance to perform a contract. RFO 9.103 requires Contracting Officers only award contracts to responsible prospective contractors, and therefore must make a determination that an Offeror is either responsible or nonresponsible. Responsibility is never considered a separate evaluation factor, but rather a pre-award process which must be followed much like ensuring an Offeror complies with terms and conditions as set forth in the solicitation.

RFO 9.104, Standards, requires all vendors to be actively and completely registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), have no exclusions, completed Representations and Certifications, and have the capacity to meet the Government’s requirements. Additionally, 9.104-1(b) states that vendors must be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and Governmental business commitments, and 9.104-1(c) states that vendors must have a satisfactory performance record.

R-DFARS 209.105-1(c) states that the Contracting Officer must consider supplier risk in award decisions. Supplier risk is assessed by reviewing the SPRS application, which is found on the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) website (https://piee.eb.mil/). Negative information in SPRS may be an indicator of undue risk and can disqualify an Offeror from receiving an award.

1.3.2. Terms and Conditions. IAW RFO Part 9, failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Offeror being ineligible for award, as well being determined to be a non-responsible Offeror. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable, and the quote, therefore, is ineligible for award.

https://piee.eb.mil/

1.4. Late Quotes. Any quote, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of quotes is “late” and will not be considered for award. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful quote that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

1.5. Number of Contracts to Be Awarded. The Government intends to select one contractor for award; however, the Government reserves the right not to award a contract at all, depending on the quality of the quotes and prices submitted and the availability of funds.

2.0. Evaluation Factor

2.1. Factor 1 – Technical Acceptability. This is a pass-or-fail factor. This evaluation will be based on each’s vendor’s approach for meeting the technical requirements of this solicitation, which includes all attachments. The evaluation focuses on the technical approach as described in each quote. The technical evaluation does not consider price. Each quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability, based on the criteria listed below.

Each Offeror must provide their written approach for this factor in order to be considered responsive for this factor. Statements such as "Concur", "I Concur", "We Concur", or any equivalent will not be acceptable to the Government.

To be determined technically acceptable at the factor level, the vendor must meet all the criteria in the Solicitation, and Statement of Work. Failure to meet any criteria will result in an unacceptable technical rating.

The technical ratings are defined as follows:

Pass Technically acceptable; the quote meets the requirements of the solicitation, and the Government has faith that the vendor can successfully satisfy the Government’s requirement.

Fail Technically unacceptable; the quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation, and the Government believes the vendor cannot successfully satisfy the Government’s requirement

If the Government decides that interchanges are required to address technical capability/acceptability, we intend to conduct three rounds maximum with each Offeror. An quote can be deemed technically unacceptable after three rounds if the Government deems it to be. The Government can stop interchanges at any time with any vendor and can exceed three rounds of interchanges with any vendor if deemed necessary by the Government.

2.2. Factor 2 – Price. Price quotes will be evaluated as follows:

2.2.1. Completeness. Quotes will be reviewed for completeness. Incomplete quotes will be considered ineligible for award.

2.2.2. Price Reasonableness. The offered prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in RFO 15.404-1(b)(2).

2.2.3. Price Realism. To be realistic, the offered price must demonstrate an adequate understanding of the requirement.

The Government intends to determine price realism based on adequate price competition. In the event the Government cannot determine price realism based on adequate price competition, the Government reserves the right to conduct a more detailed price realism evaluation using one or more of the price analysis techniques described in RFO 15.404-1(b)(2). The Government may also use other evaluation techniques, as needed. All documentation submitted to support price realism will be considered in the evaluation. Offerors whose price is determined to be unrealistically low based on an inadequate understanding of requirements will be ineligible for award.

2.2.4. Unbalanced pricing. Offerors’ quotes will be reviewed for unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total price, the price of one or more line items (including sub line items) is significantly over or understated as demonstrated by application of price analysis techniques, such that:

a. There is reasonable doubt the quote would result in the lowest overall price to the Government, even though it is the lowest priced Offeror; or

b. The quote is so grossly unbalanced; its acceptance would be tantamount to allowing an advanced payment.

The Government will evaluate any supporting information provided by the Offeror explaining variances that appear unbalanced. Evaluated quotes that are determined to be unbalanced may be deemed ineligible for award by the Contracting Officer if a determination is made that lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

2.2.5. Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The TEP will be calculated as the sum of the total quoted prices for all separately priced line items (including any sub line items). The total offered price for each separately priced line item shall be calculated as the offered unit price multiplied by the corresponding quantity.

2.2.6. Terms and Conditions and Offeror Responsibility. The Government will ensure Offeror submissions are compliant with all of the solicitation’s terms and conditions, as well as making sure Offerors are responsible prior to consideration for award IAW para. 1.3.

2.3. Debriefings. If a post award debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

a. The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s quote.

b. The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.

c. The overall ranking of all Offerors when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

d. A summary of the rationale for award.

e. For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful

Offeror.

f. Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed Offeror as to whether the agency followed source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities.
