52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Items (Addendum Replacing 52.212-2 in full)

BASIS OF AWARD: The Gov’t will award a firm-fixed priced contract (with reimbursable cost travel CLINS), to the responsible offeror representing the best value to the gov’t, using a streamlined comparative trade-off evaluation in accordance with FAR 12.203 and the below, which may result in award to other than lowest priced quote.

Your quote should contain your best terms. The Gov’t reserves the right to reject without further review quotes which contain additional terms and conditions or exclusions requiring extensive legal or higher level reviews.

After the evaluation of quotes, the Contracting Officer may negotiate final terms with one or more quoters of the Government’s choice. The Contracting Officer will not negotiate with any quoters other than those of the Government’s choice and will not use the formal source selection procedures described in FAR Part 15.

LATE SUBMISSIONS: The Gov’t will not consider any quote that we receive after the deadline unless we receive it before we award a contract and consideration of the quote is otherwise in the best interest of the Gov’t.

STANDING PRICE QUOTATIONS: Standing price quotations may be used if needed and deemed in the best interest of the Gov’t.

PRICE: Gov’t will record total evaluated prices (to include options). If more than 3 quotes are received, the Gov’t will identify a grouping of the most competitively priced quotes; remaining quotes will not be evaluated further unless later deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer.

Options. The Government will evaluate offer 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).

Additionally, as part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by calculating the price for six months of performance using the monthly pricing from the offeror's final option period prices. The calculated six month price will be added to the offeror's total proposed price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, all option periods, and the calculated six month extension price. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8.

TECHNICAL: The Government will evaluate the technical proposal to determine how well the proposed products or services meet the Government’s requirement. The Gov’t may deem a quote to be technically acceptable or superior if their technical solution differs from the PWS or does not meet the technical minimums, but ultimately results in a solution that will meet or exceed the intent of the Government’s needs and would involve an acceptable level of risk.

Contract Personnel only:

*Note: In addition to other factors, packages reflecting competitive compensation & efficient overhead/profit will be favored

COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION

REQUEST FOR QUOTATION

PAST PERFORMANCE: Past Performance will be reviewed and may be based on Contracting Officer’s prior knowledge/experience; past performance inquiry replies; CPARS, FAPIIS, or any other reasonable basis. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s past performance to determine the likelihood that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort described in the PWS. Past Performance within the past 3 years will be considered more heavily than beyond 3 years.

Rating Description

High Confidence The Government has a high expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Some Confidence The Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No performance record is available, or the quoter’s performance record is so sparse or lacking recency/relevance that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can reasonably be assigned. The quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence The Government has low expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully

No Confidence The Government has no expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully

MULTIPLE AWARDS: Gov’t will not make multiple awards unless circumstances deem it appropriate and in the best interest of the Gov’t.

AWARDING WITHIN BUDGET: If deemed necessary to stay within budget, the Gov’t may reduce quantities and reach out to offerors with acceptable or better non-price proposals, requesting they revalidate or update their unit pricing. Alternatively, the Gov’t may cancel the requirement if needed.

52.252-1, Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference

This solicitation incorporates one or more solicitation provisions by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. The offeror is cautioned that the listed provisions may include blocks that must be completed by the offeror and submitted with its quotation or offer. In lieu of submitting the full text of those provisions, the offeror may identify the provision by paragraph identifier and provide the appropriate information with its quotation or offer.

52.233-2, Service of Protest

(a)Protests, as defined in section 33.101 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, that are filed directly with an agency, and copies of any protests that are filed with the Government Accountability Office (GAO), shall be served on the Contracting Officer (addressed as follows) by obtaining written and dated acknowledgment of receipt from the National Guard Bureau/Office of the Director of Acquisitions/Head of Contracting Activity:

NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods as if filed at the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency’s Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG protest procedures. To be timely, the protests must be filed with the periods specified in FAR 33.103. To file a protest under the NG Agency Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below:

National Guard Bureau Office of the Director of Acquisitions/ Head of Contracting Activity

ATTN: NGB-AQ-O

111 S. George Mason Dr.

Arlington, VA 22204 Email: ng.ncr.ngb-arng.mbx.ngb-task-order-ombudsman@army.mil

All other agency-level protests should be sent to the Contracting Officer for resolution.

NG Public-facing, general Protest information is found at:

https://www.nationalguard.mil/Leadership/Joint-Staff/Special-Staff/Director-of-Acquisitions / (b)The copy of any protest shall be received in the office designated above within one day of filing a protest with the GAO.
