ADDENDUM REVISED 52.212-2

FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items

(g) The government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotations:

(1) Compensation

(2) Price

(3) Past Performance

Basis of Award: Past Performance, when compared to price, is more important than price. The evaluation teams will evaluate the proposed compensation justifications (as applicable) to determine if the justification is adequate to obtain and retain, or not, qualified workers.

mailto:Phillip.w.york2.civ@mail.mil mailto:Rhonda.r.cato.civ@mail.mil

(h) Options. The government will evaluate quotations for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The government may determine that a quotation is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options will not obligate the government to exercise the option(s).

(i) A written notice of award, mailed or otherwise, furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the quotation, will result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the quotation's specified expiration time, the government may accept a quotation, whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The following is inserted as new paragraph (d) of the provision:

“(d) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) best value evaluation process in which competing offerors’ past performance will be considered as more important than price. By submission of its proposal, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined unacceptable. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The Contracting Officer will make an award decision using the Past Performance Confidence, and the TEP. The evaluation process will include the following:

(1) Compensation Factor:

Insert base labor rate in the Labor Category Minimum Compensation Matrix (attachment 2). If your proposed base hourly rate, for a given labor category is below the hourly rate identified in the Labor Category Minimum Compensation Matrix, offeror shall provide a justification showing evidence of why the proposed compensation for workers is adequate to obtain and retain qualified workers. Compensation Factor 1, will be evaluated on a “Go/No- Go” basis. If a Justification is not adequate to obtain and retain qualified workers, the offeror would not be eligible for award.

(2) Price Factor:

The Government will use the Price matrix (Attachment 1) when determining a total evaluated price. The Government has structured the Price matrix similar to the structure of the task orders anticipated to be issued during the three (3) year performance period by having the Price matrix list all the services and the quantities that the Government anticipates to order during the three (3) year performance period. To determining the total evaluated price:

5. The Government will multiply the proposed unit price with the Government’s anticipated quantity for each CLIN to calculate subtotal prices for each CLIN.

6. The Government will add subtotals from all CLINs to calculate the total evaluated price.

Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price of all option periods to the total price of the base period to determine the total evaluated price. In evaluating FAR 52.217-8 option prices, the Government will include in the total evaluated price, the same rates as those proposed by the offeror for the last performance period. Evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise options.

(3) Past Performance Factor.

The Government will evaluate performance information on all offerors based on (i) the references provided by the offeror, and (ii) any past performance information obtained from survey/ questionnaires (Attachment 3), and

(iv) any data independently obtained by the government. If a reference identified by the offeror in accordance with 52.212-1(m)(B)(4)(c), does not submit a survey/ questionnaire, the government may follow up with the reference POC, but the Government is not responsible for the failure of a reference POC to provide a survey/questionnaire. In addition to evaluation of recency and relevancy, the Government will perform a performance quality assessment of such work when assessing the entirety of an offeror’s Past Performance.

(a) Past performance regarding predecessor companies of the offeror and/or subcontractors, key personnel, and subcontractors that will perform major aspects of the requirement, if applicable (see 52.212-1(m)B.4(d)), may be considered as past performance information for the principal offeror.

(b) The evaluation of past performance information (i) may take into account past performance regarding predecessor companies, (ii) may take into account past performance of key personnel who have relevant experience, and/or (iii) may take into account past performance regarding subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to this acquisition.

(c) Recent past performance information includes efforts performed and/or being performed for any customer within the last three (3) years prior to the issuance date of the solicitation.

(d) Relevant contracts performance effort involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities to that required by this solicitation. The Government will assess relevancy for each contract and assign a rating as described in Table 2 below:

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Rating Definition

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

Performance Quality Assessment: For each of the recent and “somewhat relevant” or better past performance information reviewed, the performance quality of work will be assessed.

The Government will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the degree of confidence the Government has in the offeror’s ability to meet the solicitation requirements based on the offeror’s demonstrated record of performance. The assessment process will result in an offeror’s overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence. Offerors with no recent past or present performance history or the offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned will receive the rating “Unknown Confidence,” meaning the offeror is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably (neutral). As a result of the assessments, offerors will receive an integrated past performance confidence assessment rating as described in Table 3 below:

TABLE 3. Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings 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 successfully perform the required effort.

UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE (NEUTRAL) No recent/relevant performance is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Note: More recent and/or more relevant past performance may be weighted more heavily than less recent and/or less relevant past performance.

(5) The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The

Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
