ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (FEB 2012)

Paragraph (b) entitled “Submission of Offers” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with paragraph“ (b) Proposal Preparation Instructions” below.

Paragraph (c) entitled “Period of acceptance of offers” is tailored to read: The Government requires a minimum of 150 calendar days for acceptance of offers submitted in response to this solicitation.”

Paragraph (e) entitled “Multiple Offers” is tailored to read: “The government will not consider multiple offers presenting alternate terms and conditions for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.”

Paragraph (g) entitled “Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids).” Is tailored to read: “The Government intends to evaluate individual port location offers and award a single 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. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. 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.”

Paragraph (h) entitled “Multiple awards” is tailored to read: “The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. 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.”
