Past performance information is limited to those performed within the last five years as of the date of the solicitation.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

The rest of this provision remains unchanged.

Addendum to 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items. (Oct 2014)

The provision is changed as follows:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote 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:

Technical Past Performance Price

Technical and Past Performance when combined, are more important than cost or price.

(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 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).

(c) This RFQ is conducted under the guidelines of FAR Parts 12 and 13. Award will be based on a determination of best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. “Best Value” means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement.

Best value evaluation is, in and of itself, a subjective assessment by the Government of the proposed solution that provides the optimal results to the Government.

(d) This method does not use any aspects of FAR subpart 15.3. The use of FAR Part 12 and 13 procedures does not obligate the Government to determine a competitive range, conduct discussions with any contractors, solicit quotes or revisions thereto, or use any other source selection techniques associated with FAR subpart 15.3.

(e) Technical quotes will be reviewed for strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies.

(f) Past performance will be reviewed for quality of performance and customer satisfaction based on information found in PPIRS. Evaluation will be determined acceptable or unacceptable as follows:

Acceptable: Based on the vendor’s performance record, the government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the vendor’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable: Based on the vendor’s performance record, the government does not have a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

(g) A comparative analysis will be conducted to determine the best value based on the strength of the technical understanding, acceptable past performance and price.

(h) A written notice of award or acceptance of an quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quoter’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a auote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
