ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS

Paragraph (d) is added to read as follows:

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

(d) Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 15 to determine the best value for the Government. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to two responsible offerors whose proposals are the best value to the Government.

(1) This acquisition is a competitive Performance Price Tradeoff with Technical Evaluation factors. The

Contracting Officer will make an integrated assessment best value decision based on technical capability, past performance, and price. All non-price factors are considered equal. Technical capability and past performance when combined are approximately equal to price. The Government has stated its minimum needs in the solicitation.

(2) The Government reserves the right to award all, some, or none of the line items as outlined in this solicitation.

(3) The proposals shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and to substantiate the stated information. The proposals shall not rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their company or experience and will use this information to evaluate the offer.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with the offerors.

Therefore, the offerors initial proposals should contain the offerors most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their company or experience. The Contracting Officer may clarify all information submitted in response to the solicitation, as necessary, to evaluate the proposals, and notwithstanding these clarifications, the Contracting Officer still retains the right to award without discussions. The Government also reserves the right to conduct discussions, both written and oral, with the offerors whose proposals have been determined to be within the competitive range, if in the Government’s best interest. The Contracting Officer may limit the competitive range for purposes of efficiency.

(5) By submission of an offer, the offeror assents to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors and sub-factors. Failure to meet a solicitation requirement may result in an offer being determined non-compliant and/or technically unacceptable and therefore, may result in the offeror being eliminated from further consideration. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide accompanying rationale.

(6) For an offeror to receive award, the proposal must meet all Performance Work Statement (PWS) technical requirements and conform to all required terms and conditions. The offeror shall possess all required certifications, be an approved DoD Freight Carrier at the time of award, be determined responsible IAW FAR 9.104, and present the best value to the Government given the evaluation criteria specified in the solicitation.

(7) The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

a. Technical Capability - Initially, the Government technical team will evaluate the technical capability proposals by assigning an adjectival rating of acceptable, reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable, or unacceptable. All elements are considered equal. All elements must be acceptable to be considered for an award. If any one element is unacceptable, the Management of Operations sub-factor and Technical Capability factor will be rated unacceptable. All offers receiving an unacceptable rating for Technical Capability will be removed from any further consideration for award. The proposals shall be evaluated based on the offerors ability to manage, supervise, and perform in accordance with the contract requirements and following sub-factor and all elements listed under the sub-factor:

1. Management of Operations (Sub-Factor):

The following are elements under this sub-factor:

(i) The offeror presents an acceptable approach that effectively meets each performance objective in the Performance Requirements Summary identified in the PWS.

(ii) The offeror presents an acceptable approach to effectively identify and prevent substandard service and ensure that contract requirements are met. If contract requirements are not met, the offeror will describe its efforts to ensure non-recurrence of substandard services.

(iii) The offeror presents an acceptable approach to effectively measure performance of contract requirements to ensure compliance.

(iv) The offeror presents an acceptable approach to effectively report compliance/non-compliance with contract requirements

b. Price

1. Next, the Government will rank all technically acceptable proposals by price. All price proposals will be evaluated to include the base year and all option years. Price will be evaluated for price reasonableness and completeness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(a) and (b) based on the total proposed price of the base year and all option years. In determining price reasonableness, the evaluation will compare the offeror’s price proposal with other offers received since adequate competition is anticipated. Additionally, the Government may compare offers to the Government estimate, current market conditions, and prior history of similar acquisitions. The determination of price completeness will be evaluated based on the offeror’s proposal to address all price elements in the solicitation. Unreasonably low or high prices may result in the elimination of an offeror from further consideration.

2. All offers shall include pricing based on all zones and all weights to include CONUS, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Offers without this information will be rejected.

c. Past Performance Information

1. The Government will evaluate past performance questionnaires submitted by the offeror’s Points of Contact (POC) and other information independently obtained by the Government or other commercial sources.

2. First, the Government will evaluate the recency of performance information (within the last 5 years).

3. Next, the Government will evaluate the relevancy of past performance information as follows. The higher relevancy will have a greater impact on the offeror’s overall past performance rating.

Very Relevant Past/present performance effort involved essentially the same magnitude of effort, size, scope and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Past/present performance effort involved much, but not the same, magnitude of effort, size, scope and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Past/present performance effort involved some of the magnitude of effort, size, scope, and complexities this solicitation requires

Not Relevant Past/present performance effort did not involve any of the magnitude of effort, size, scope, and complexities this solicitation requires

4. All offerors will receive a past performance rating based on the recency, relevancy, and all past performance information obtained by the Government. Past performance ratings will be evaluated based on the magnitude of effort similar in size, scope, and complexity to the requirements in this solicitation.

Exceptional/High Confidence

Based of the offeror’s performance record, the Government has high confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Very Good/Significant Confidence

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has significant confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory/Confident Based on the offer’s performance record, the Government is confident that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Marginal/Limited Confidence

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unsatisfactory/No Confidence

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to perform the required effort.

Neutral/Unknown Confidence

No performance record is identifiable or the offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonable assigned.

5. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information in the format specified in this solicitation. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal or respond to adverse past performance to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than acceptable rating on any evaluation element or unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communications conducted regarding past performance 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 revisions.

d. The Government will award this contract to two (2) responsible offerors whose proposals are the best value to the Government.

If the lowest priced offer is evaluated to have an Exceptional/High Confidence performance assessment, that offeror represents the best value to the government and the Source Selection Authority shall award the first contract to that offeror.

If the next lowest priced offer is evaluated to have an Exceptional/High Confidence performance assessment, that offeror represents the best value to the government and the Source Section Authority shall award the second contract to that offeror.

If the two lowest priced offerors have less than an Exceptional/High Confidence performance assessment, the Source Selection Authority will continue evaluating all remaining offers (in order by price) until two offerors are evaluated that have an Exceptional/High Confidence assessment, or until all offers are evaluated. After this evaluation process is complete, the Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated best value award decision based on the evaluation results for the first and second contract awards under this solicitation.
