The following have been modified:

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JULY 2013)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF

1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(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.

(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

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999) (Addendum to FAR 52.212-2)

EVALUATION FACTORS

1) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

Unless all offers are rejected, the Government will award multiple Basic Indefinite-Delivery-

Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and concurrently award Task Order 1 and 2 to responsible

Offeror(s) whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the best overall value, price and other factors considered. The Government may select for award the Offeror whose price is not necessarily the lowest, but whose technical proposal is more advantageous to the

Government and warrants the additional cost. Offerors must satisfy the requirements described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), as well as other Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements. Proposals that take exception to any performance criteria may be deemed unacceptable.

2) EVALUATION FACTORS

The award of the basic contract (IDIQ) will be determined by combining the evaluations and ratings of

Task Order 1 and 2. Award of the basic contract will be based on "best value" as stated in the above paragraph, and will trade-off between the combined ratings received under each factor for each Task

Order. For Task order 1 and 2, each will be evaluated and awarded separately based on the evaluation criteria stated below. For information on the rating that will be used for the basic contract and both task orders, please see Section 3 below.

The evaluation will be based on a complete assessment of the Offeror’s proposal. Proposals shall be evaluated on the following three factors:

For the overall basic contract award:

Factor I: Combined Ratings for the Technical Approach under Task order 1 and 2

Factor II: Combined Ratings for Past Performance for Task order 1 and 2

Factor III: Combined Price from Task Order 1 and 2

For Task Order 1 award:

Factor I: Technical Approach and Capability for Task Order 1

Factor II: Past Performance for Task Order 1

Factor III: Price from Task Order 1

For Task Order 2 award:

Factor I: Technical Approach and Capability for Task Order 2

Factor II: Past Performance for Task Order 2

Factor III: Price from Task Order 2

Technical and Past Performance are equal and when combined are significantly more important than Price; however Price is a significant factor.

a. Factor I: Technical Approach & Capability

For Task Orders 1 and 2, the Government will evaluate the adequacy of the Offeror’s approach, completeness and understanding of the requirements specified in the solicitation and all attached documents, including the PWS, as demonstrated by the proposed technical approach and capabilities. The proposal shall be sufficiently complete to demonstrate how the Offeror will comply with Government tasking and requirements throughout the performance period. Data previously submitted, or presumed to be known (e.g., descriptions of previous projects performed for the Government) cannot be considered as a part of the proposal unless physically incorporated into the proposal. Clarity, completeness and conciseness are essential.

b. Factor II: Past Performance

For past performance the government will evaluate how well the offeror has performed on contracts that have been determined to be both recent and relevant for Task Orders 1 and 2.

Past performance is a measure of the degree to which the Offeror satisfied its customers in the past and complied with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. The Government may contact some, all or none of each Offeror’s customers to ask whether: (1) the Offeror is capable, efficient, and effective; (2) the Offeror’s performance conformed to the terms and conditions of its contract; (3) the Offeror was reasonable and cooperative during performance; (4) the Offeror was committed to customer satisfaction; (5) the Offeror was able to hire and retain qualified personnel to the satisfaction of the customer; and (6) if they would select the same Contractor or a different Contractor, given the opportunity.

The Government may also use other information available from other sources to evaluate an

Offeror’s past performance, which may include Federal, State and local Government agencies, Better Business Bureaus, published media, electronic databases such as the Contractor

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and the Past Performance Information

Retrieval System (PPIRS), and the evaluators’ first- and secondhand knowledge of a specific

Offeror. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact and to contact references other than those provided by the Offeror.

In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom no information on past performance is available, the Offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance as a prime.

c. Factor III: Price

In accordance with FAR 15.4, Task Orders 1 and 2 proposal cost will be evaluated separately to determine if they are fair and reasonable, and reflect a clear understanding of the requirements.

The total evaluated cost for the basic contract will be determined by adding the total evaluated cost for both task orders 1 and 2.

For evaluation purposes only, the total evaluated price is the sum of the total prices submitted for

(a) the base period, (b) all option periods, and (c) the six-month extension authorized by FAR clause 52.217-8. For purposes of determining the evaluated price for the six month 52.217-8 extension, the total price is calculated as one-half of the total price of the final option year. The

Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

3) RATING METHODS

a. FACTOR 1 TECHNICAL APPROACH & CAPABILITY:

For Task Orders 1 and 2, the Evaluation Process for Factor 1 is specified below. The rating reflects the degree to which the proposed approach meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements through an assessment of the attributes, strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies and risks of a proposal. If the contractor simply meets the minimum requirements, there will be no deficiencies or strengths identified.

The combined technical/risk rating below includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the attributes of the proposal in determining technical ratings. The evaluation for Task Orders 1 and

2 shall utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed in Table 1.

Table 1. Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Color Rating Description

BLUE

Outstanding

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

PURPLE

Good

Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

GREEN

Acceptable adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

YELLOW

Marginal

Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

RED

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.

b. FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE:

For Task Orders 1 and 2, the Past Performance evaluation process is specified below. The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract’s requirements. One performance confidence assessment rating is assigned for each Offeror after evaluating the offeror's recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements.

There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation:

Step 1 - The first aspect is to evaluate the offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant each recent effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the evaluation (defined in Table 2, below). Other common aspects of relevancy include similarity of service/support, complexity, contract type and degree of subcontract/teaming to what is found within the PWS. Moreover, performance of each reference must have occurred within the previous three (3) years of the date of this solicitation. Finally, the Offeror must have served as the Prime Contractor for each referenced contract.

Table 4. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Step 2 - The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts. The past performance information collected will be evaluated to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. In conducting a performance confidence assessment, each Offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings in Table 3.

Table 3. Performance Confidence Assessments

Rating Description

Substantial Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the

Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the

Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the

Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence

(Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

c. FACTOR 3 – PRICE:

For Task Orders 1 and 2, price will not receive a rating; however, proposals must be deemed fair and reasonable prior to award.
