(End of Addendum)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

FAR 52.212-2 is amended in its entirety as follows:

(a) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Business Proposal

(2) Technical

(i) Subfactor 1 -Transit Time

(ii) Subfactor 2 - EDI Capability

(iii) Subfactor 3 - Safety & Audit Oversight Plan

(iv) Subfactor 4 - Information Assurance & Cyber Security

(3) Past Performance

(4) Price

The Government intends to award approximately four (4) IDIQ contracts resulting from this solicitation to provide Government shippers flexibility of choice and service coverage. This acquisition will be conducted as a Best Value, Performance-Price Trade-off (PPT) source selection IAW FAR Parts 12, 15.101-1, trade-off process, and DoD source selection procedures. To receive an IDIQ award, offerors must (1) be deemed responsible IAW FAR Part 9,

(2) conform to all required terms and conditions, (3) be a participant in the CRAF or VISA program, (4) represent a best value to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Basis for Award. Once the Government determines which carriers have submitted acceptable business proposals and technical proposals, the Government will make an integrated assessment of the remaining factors to determine which offeror(s) represent the best value to the Government. Past Performance is considered approximately equal to price.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Part I – Business Proposal. Each offeror’s Business Proposal will be evaluated to determine if it complies with all terms and conditions of the solicitation. Business proposals shall be submitted in accordance with the instructions to offerors and will be evaluated as Acceptable or Unacceptable.

(2) Part II - Technical. Each offeror’s written Technical Proposal will be evaluated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis at the subfactor level. An Acceptable Proposal is one that clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. An Unacceptable proposal is one that does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Offeror’s proposals must receive an Acceptable rating for all of the following technical subfactors in order to be considered for award:

(i) Technical Subfactor 1 – Transit Time. To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must submit verification indicating they can meet the Transit Time for each zone-pair as listed in Attachment 4, tab entitled “Transit Time” in the solicitation. By submitting this statement the offeror agrees its actual transit times will be equal to or less than the Government’s established Transit Time for each Zone/Lane.

(ii) Technical Subfactor 2 – Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Capability. To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must demonstrate that they have the ability to provide all EDI interface requirements in table 2.2.2 of the PWS by the start of contract performance.

(iii) Technical Subfactor 3 – Safety and Audit Oversight Plan. To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must submit a realistic plan for accomplishing the requirements identified in the PWS, Para 1.21.2.1. and in Attachment 7 of the solicitation.

(iv) Technical Subfactor 4 – Information Assurance & Cyber Security: To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must submit an Information Assurance Report that describes their environment for adequately safeguarding DOD non-public information resident on or transiting on the contractor's unclassified information systems from unauthorized access and disclosure AND address the SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security) Institute's Twenty Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense: Consensus Audit Guidelines (http://www.sans.org/critical-security-controls).

(3) Part III - Past Performance. Using the Past Performance surveys submitted by the offerors’ POCs and other information independently obtained from Government or commercial sources (i.e. Past Performance Information Retrieval System, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, Questionnaires tailored to the circumstances for this acquisition, through Defense Contract Management Agency channels, or through interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officer Representatives and Contracting Officers), the Government will assign an overall confidence assessment for each offeror. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. Each Past Performance effort will be evaluated on the basis of recency and relevancy.

The Government will begin its evaluation by first determining the recency and the relevancy of each past performance effort being evaluated. To be considered a recent effort, the effort must be currently on-going, or have been completed within 3 years of proposal submission.

The following definitions will be utilized to determine the relevancy of each past performance effort:

RATING DESCRIPTION

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.

After the Government has determined the recency and relevancy of each past performance effort being evaluated, one of the following overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment ratings will be assigned to each offeror:

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 record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence 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.

Offerors with no recent/relevant performance record shall receive the rating “Unknown Confidence” meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

In evaluating past performance, the government will give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP.

Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in 52.212-1. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information 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 satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

(4) Part IV - Price.

(i) In order to protect the contractor and Government against significant market fluctuations, the Government will adjust unit prices for each option period, to include the the six-month extension of services option using the IHS Global Insight Index (GII) Pricing and Purchasing Industry Forecasting. The index catagories from GII will be for North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes: 481112, Scheduled Freight Air Transportation (90%); 482111, Line-Haul Railroads (0.5%); 483111, Deep Sea Freight Transportation (8%); and 484122, General Freight Trucking Long-Distance LTL (1.5%). In the event publication of any of the above indices is discontinued, the parties shall agree upon an appropriate substitute index. Option year prices shall be adjusted according to the Economic Price Adjustment clause. This contract incorporates the Service Contract Act, and applicable wage determinations. Requests for NTE increases during option years based on SCA wage determination increases will be considered by the Government, but only to the extent the increase impacts NTE rates above what was contemplated by the increase made applicable by the GII. If contractors request an NTE increase based on SCA wage increases, contractors will be required to demonstrate all labor categories and costs, to include fringe benefits, included in their original NTE rates and that the requested increases in NTE rates were such that the GII index did not cover said increases.

(ii) Sample Task Orders. The Government will use sample task order scenarios in determining whether prices applicable to the sample task orders are fair and reasonable, as well as to evaluate the total evaluated price (TEP) for evaluation purposes. After applying the EPA and establishing option year prices, the Government will use the requirements stated in Sample Task Order Scenario 1, Attachment L-1 and Sample Task Order Scenario 2, Attachment L-2 to determine the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for evaluation and award purposes. Using the rates in Attachment 4, NTE Rates Base Period, the Government will calculate the price for each PCFN identified in Attachments L-1 and L-2. The total price for each PCFN will be added to determine a total price for the Base Period. Using the rates in Attachment 4, NTE Rates Option Period 1, the Government will calculate the price for each PCFN identified in Attachments L-1 and L-2. The total price for each PCFN will be added to determine a total price for the Option Period 1. Using the rates in Attachment 4, NTE Rates Option Period 2, the Government will calculate the price for each PCFN identified in Attachments L-1 and L-2. The total price for each PCFN will be added to determine a total price for the Option Period 2. Using the rates in Attachment 4, NTE Rates 6-Month Extension, the Government will calculate the price for each PCFN identified in Attachments L-1 and L-2. The total price for each PCFN will be added to determine a total price for the 6-Month Extension period. The summation of the total price for the Base Period, Option Period 1, Option Period 2, and the 6-Month Extension will constitute the

TEP.

(b) Options: The offerors’ proposed rates shall be effective for the base year and all option years, with the option prices adjusted annually according to the Economic Price Adjustment clause. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base year as calculated above.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). If the Government extends the contract pursuant to FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, such extension shall be at the rates in effect under the contract when the option is exercised.

(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.
