52.212-2 ADDENDUM - EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

Addendum to 52.212-2 Paragraph (a)

Basis of Award

(a) To be eligible for award, offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, and technical and price instructions. Failure to comply with all solicitation requirements and instructions may result in the offeror being removed from further award consideration.

(b) The government anticipates awarding a single Firm-Fixed-Price contract resulting from this solicitation under the Best Value-Trade-Off approach, to the responsible offeror whose proposal is deemed most advantageous to the Government in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 13.5, when price and other factors are considered; as well as the Department of Defense (DoD) Source Selection Procedures.

(c) Relative Order of Importance: Factor 1- Technical Capability, is significantly more important than Factor 2 - Past Performance. Subfactors 1 and 2 are of equal importance. Factors 1 and 2 combined, are significantly more important than Factor 3 – Price. A contract will not be awarded to an offeror with significant weaknesses and/or deficiencies as defined in FAR 15.001. To make the award decision, the following factors and subfactors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Capability Subfactor 1: K-5 General Purpose Databases Subfactor 2: 6-12 General Purpose Databases

Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price

(d) The Government intends to make an award without discussions based on initial proposal submission but reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines it to be in the Government’s best interest. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best approach/terms for all the evaluation factors (technical capability, past performance, and price). If the SSA determines that discussions are necessary, a competitive range shall be established. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.
