SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The basis for award is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). The apparent successful offeror shall have satisfactory/acceptable past performance. This procurement is being conducted under FAR Parts 12 and 13.5 procedures. All offers shall provide three (3) current and relevant references. Failure to comply will result in not being considered for award.

I. Technical Acceptability is defined as submitting an SOW or PWS that meets the objectives outlined in the SOO .

II. Past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis. In addition to past performance references, potential sources of performance data are Government sources such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). Past Performance data shall be reviewed and the quality and usefulness determined as it applies to performance confidence.

If an offeror has no relevant past performance history, an offeror must affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance history. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that not meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In these cases the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “Unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”. However, offerors who fail to provide references or affirmatively address a lack of references shall be considered unacceptable as regarding past performance and will not receive a "Neutral" rating.

III. Quotes shall be ranked in order of lowest price to highest price. The lowest-priced quote shall be evaluated first. If the lowest-priced quote is technically acceptable, no other offers will be evaluated. As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the quoter's final option period price to the quoter's total price. Thus, the quoter's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, first option, second option, third option, fourth option, and one-half of the fourth option. Quoters are required only to price the base and four options. Quoters shall not submit a price for the potential one-half year extension of services period.

(b) 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.
