52.212-2 ADDENDUM

FAR 52.212-2 ADDENDUM – EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

A. BASIS OF AWARD: The successful contractor to receive the contract award will be determined using the best value, trade-off method. The Government will award one or more contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror/offerors whose offer represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and sub-factors in the solicitation. The following factors and sub-factors will be used to evaluate offers:

I. Technical Capability

a. Customer Satisfaction

b. Increase Sales

c. Continue Customer Savings

d. Quality Assurance Program

e. Transition Approach

II. Past Performance

a. Quality / Food Safety History

b. Overall Customer Satisfaction

c. Business Relations

III. Price As a best value trade-off acquisition, the Government reserves the right to award to other than the offeror with the most favorable price or the offeror with the highest ranked technical or past performance rating.

B. RELATIVE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE OF THE EVALUATION FACTORS: Of the evaluation factors shown above, the evaluation factor “Technical Capability” is significantly more important than “Past Performance.” The evaluation sub-factors within Technical Capability, “Customer Satisfaction,” “Increase Sales,” “Continue Customer Savings,” and “Quality Assurance Program,” are equally important, and significantly more important than “Transition Approach.”

Within Past Performance, the sub-factors os “Quality / Food Safety History”, “Overall Customer Satisfaction”, and “Business Relations” are equally important. For evaluation purposes, Technical Capability and Past Performance, when combined, are considered to be significantly more important than Price (percentage of patron savings).

C. PAST PERFORMANCE: The evaluation of past performance will be an assessment based on consideration of relevant facts and circumstances. It is not based on absolute standards of acceptable performance but is based on a contractor’s overall past performance history. The Government is seeking to determine the likelihood of an offeror’s overall business methodology and quality assurance approach successfully providing customer satisfaction, increasing sales, and continuing customer savings throughout the life of the contract. This determination is a matter of judgment. The Agency reserves the right to consider past performance information in its possession, and the Agency has discretion to review any relevant information available.

NOTE: Companies lacking relevant past performance history will be evaluated on past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.

D. PRICE: An evaluated price will be calculated for the base period, all option periods, and all award term periods for each CLIN. The evaluated price per CLIN will be used as the estimated award amount in the resultant award.

The Government will evaluate price for award purposes by adding together the evaluated price for the base period, each option period, and each award term period available under the resulting contract. As it is a common industry assumption that, based on the Pareto principle (80/20 rule), 80% of the sales are derived from 20% of the items offered for sale (these are identified as core items), the evaluated price will be determined as follows:

Historical deli sales for each store as cited in the solicitation x 80% (80/20 rule) / (1- offeror's proposed percentage of savings for the given period for that store) = evaluated price for the given period for the applicable store.

The evaluated price for each store for each given period (each base period, each option period, and each award term period available) will be added to determine the total evaluated price for each store.

The total evaluated price for each store will then be added together to determine the total evaluated price for the applicable CLIN in the resulting contract. Evaluation of the option periods will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

E. NOTIFICATION: A written notice of award or acceptance of a proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror(s) 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, whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

F. SOURCE SELECTION DECISION: Under this solicitation, the Best Value Tradeoff Method will be utilized to determine contract award. If the contracting officer considers a higher rated capability to be worth a higher evaluated price, then the more capable, higher evaluated priced offer will be the better value, and will be selected for award. If not, then the lower rated, lower evaluated priced offer will be the better value, and will be selected for award. This source selection decision will be made for each CLIN, using the same evaluation criteria and the offeror’s proposed pricing for that CLIN.
