Addendum to FAR 52.212-2: Evaluation Factors for Award

M.1 Basis for Award

1. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA): The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is technically acceptable and provides the lowest evaluated price. This is a commercial item acquisition conducted using simplified procedures authorized by FAR Subpart 13.5.

2. Evaluation Process: The Government will first evaluate technical proposals for acceptability. A proposal must be rated "Acceptable" for every non-price factor to be considered technically acceptable. Proposals rated "Unacceptable" in any non-price factor will be rejected and ineligible for award. The Government will then evaluate the price of all technically acceptable proposals, and the award will be made to the offeror with the lowest evaluated price.

M.2 Evaluation Factors

To be considered technically acceptable and eligible for award, a proposal must meet all the minimum requirements of the solicitation and be rated "Acceptable" for each of the following non-price factors.

Factor Evaluation Criteria for "Acceptable" Rating

Technical Approach The proposal clearly demonstrates a feasible approach to accomplishing all tasks in PWS Part 4.

Management Approach & Quality Control The proposal provides a management plan and a Quality Control Plan (QCP) that meet all minimum requirements.

Key Personnel The proposal identifies all Key Personnel and provides a resume and Letter of Commitment demonstrating the Catholic Administrative Pastoral Life Coordinator meets all minimum qualifications.

Past Performance The offeror has provided relevant past performance references, and the Government's evaluation does not result in a determination of unacceptable performance risk.

A "Neutral" rating will be considered "Acceptable."

Price The prices of all technically acceptable proposals will be evaluated for reasonableness.

An award will be made to the offeror with the lowest evaluated price. The price evaluation will include the following considerations:

Total Evaluated Price: The Government will evaluate proposals for award purposes for the 12-month base period and three 12-month option periods, for a total of 48 months, plus the six-month option to extend services under

FAR Clause 52.217-8. Offerors are not required to enter a separate price for the six-month option period. Single
