ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

I. SUBMISSION OF QUOTES: Reference 52.212-1 Paragraph (b)

Required documents must be emailed to Lois Malone at lois.malone@deca.mil, by the closing date and time as stated in the solicitation.

Offerors shall submit a copy of the following documents:

(1) Standard Form 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial items, page 1, Blocks 17a, 17b, 30a, 30b, 30c completed and signed by an authorized representative on behalf of the offeror. Discount terms, if any, in Block 12.

(2) Completed Attachment 2 – Quote Sheet and Linen Listing Spreadsheet with pricing for the base and all four option periods, for every item listed, for the location(s) on which you are submitting an offer. Contractor must provide pricing for every item listed on the linen attachment, even if the estimated quantity is zero. Although the commissary does not have a current requirement for those items, the prices entered for those items will be effective for any future requirements or quantity increases. However, un-balanced pricing WILL NOT be allowed.

SUBMIT Pricing Spreadsheet in both “excel” and “pdf” copy. DO NOT change or manipulate formulas on the excel spreadsheets.

NOTE: Where the quantity is zero each; a multiplier of one (1) will be used for evaluation purposes only. This will be multiplied by maximum number of pickups authorized per week of 1 times 52 weeks. This will be done for each performance period of 12 consecutive months. This will become the offeror’s total evaluated price for that location.

Example: Blue Bib Aprons – 0 quantity x $0.00 would be converted to Blue Bib Aprons – 1 x $0.33 = $.33. This is to ensure there is no unbalanced pricing. All individual pricing will be evaluated for cost realism. Un-balanced pricing will not be allowed. All other quantities will be evaluated on the quantities given as the estimated usage quantity per week. See Statement of Work regarding billing for weekly quantities delivered – NOT quantities in total inventory.

a. Weekly environmental fee, if applicable, is entered on Line Number 16.

b. Energy Surcharge percentage (if applicable for period of high-energy costs) is entered on Line Number

19. The percentage rate will be applicable to the rental total for the week.

c. Weekly lost/damage fee percentage is entered on Line Number 20. This fee will fund replacement costs for items lost or damaged by commissary personnel. The rate will be applied to the total rental fee, exclusive of the environmental fee and energy surcharge, if applicable. The fee will eliminate the need for billing for individual items and reconciliation of reasonable lost/damaged items at the end of the contract period(s).

d. If no pricing is entered for Lines a, b and c above; it will be assumed the item or service is provided at no charge. No changes will be made to these costs after contract is awarded. These fees will be evaluated as part of the total cost for award purposes.

e. Pricing spreadsheet is provided in excel format with formulas to total weekly and annual costs. Any errors in the formulas for extended pricing will be verified and corrected upon evaluation of errors.

Completed pricing spreadsheet(s) must be submitted in “electronic” format and a hard copy or pdf file.

(3) Prospective contractors shall complete electronic annual representations and certifications at https://www.acquisition.gov in conjunction with required registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to submission of the offer.

(4) Submit the following information:

(a) Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS) or DUNS + 4 Number: _______________________________

(b) Contractor E-Mail Address: ___________________________________________________

(5) Technical and Past Performance Proposal submission requirements:

a. Technical Capability – The offeror is required to provide the information below in a written statement to explain their technical capability. A written response is required for each item.

1) Ability to deliver and meet linen specifications in accordance with the Statement of Work.

- Submit a written statement to explain your ability to deliver the types and quantities of garments as required by the Statement of Work.

- Submit a written statement that your company will comply with Base Access procedures for the Location that your are submitting an offer.

2) Provide pictures and detailed specifications of the garment types your company is proposing for rental during the performance of this contract to include the size availability for each garment. NOTE: In the case that a sample of any proposed garment is requested; the contractor shall submit one non-returnable item to the Contracting Officer for evaluation purposes only.

b. References: Three (3) past performance references are requested to be submitted that are most similar to this proposal for work that you have performed in the past three years. The past performance references will be used to determine whether an offeror has relevant past performance. Performance will be evaluated based on timeliness, customer satisfaction and business relations with your customers.

1) The Attachment 4: Past Performance Survey is to be completed and submitted, directly from your reference, to the contracting office via email to Lois Malone at lois.malone@deca.mil.

2) Past performance references must be submitted by the closing date of the solicitation.

Surveys provided directly by the offeror will not be considered.

DeCA reserves the right to consider any other past performance information available to the Contracting Officer such as PPIRS or other databases.

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code applicable to this solicitation is 812332 and the Size Standard is $38.5 MIL. Per FAR 4.1201(a): Prospective contractors SHALL complete electronic annual Representations and Certifications (Reps & Certs), via the SAM website, and in conjunction with the required registration in the SAM database. Access can be done through https://www.acquisition.gov. Your Reps and Certs must include the NAICS applicable to this solicitation document and indicate your organization’s business size status.

Per 13 CFR 121.106 - If the size determination is based on the number of employees, the method for determining business size status is based on the average number of employees of the concern (including part-time and full-time employees of its domestic and foreign affiliates), which is based upon the number of employees for each of the pay periods for the preceding completed 12 calendar months. [Additional definitition is available by searching 13CFR121 at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html] .

Per 13 CFR 121.104 - If the size determination is based on the average annual gross revenue; the method for determining business size status is based on the company’s average annual gross revenues for the last three years. Organizations whose average annual gross revenues exceed the size standard of this solicitation are considered large businesses. [Additional definition is available by searching 13CFR121 at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html] .

II. PERIOD FOR ACCEPTANCE OF QUOTES: Reference 52.212-1 Paragraph(c)

The Government requires a minimum acceptance period of 90 calendar days in lieu of the 30 calendar days as specified in FAR 52.212-1(c), Period of Acceptance of Quotes. The Government will not award a contract to a quoter allowing less than the Government’s minimum acceptance period.

III. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS (CBAs):

The contractor is required to submit all CBAs applicable to the facility providing service to the requested store location. The CBA is required to be completely signed.

If the CBA is currently in negotiation; an unsigned copy will suffice and must be submitted with the quote.

IV. NOTICE OF AWARD:

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the offeror’s specified expiration time; the Government may accept an offer (or part of a offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

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

FACTOR 1 Technical Capability

a. Ability to provide delivery and meet linen specifications in accordance with the

Statement of Work.

FACTOR 2 Past Performance

a. Performance

i. Timeliness

ii. Customer Satisfaction

iii. Business Relations

Note: A contractor that does not have past performance will be given a neutral rating for this factor.

FACTOR 3 Price: Price will be evaluated by multiplying the quantity of each item times the price times 52 weeks. This will be the offeror’s total evaluated price.

Where the quantity is zero each, a multiplier of one (1) will be used for evaluation purposes only. This will be multiplied by maximum number of pickups authorized per week or 1 times 52 weeks. This will be done for each performance period of 12 consecutive months. This will become the offeror’s total evaluated price for that location. Example: Blue Bib Aprons – 0 quantity x $0.00 would be converted to Blue Bib Aprons – 1 x $0.33 = $.33. This is to ensure that there is no unbalance pricing. All individual pricing will be evaluated for cost realism. Un-balanced pricing will not be allowed.

The price for each location will be evaluated separately. An offeror may provide a proposal on more than one location; therefore, there is a possibility of receiving an award for one or more locations.

Award will be made to the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offeror.

Technical and Past Performance, when combined, are Equal to Price.

An offeror must be found acceptable in all sub-factors to be eligible for award.

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