SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

FAR 52.212-2 ADDENDUM – EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

SUBMISSION OF QUESTIONS: All questions shall be submitted no later than Tuesday, September 24, 2019 by 6:00 PM EST . Questions shall be submitted via email to Rufus.lassiter@usmc.mil. Any questions received after this period will not be accepted or answered. Once questions are answered by the Technical Representative of the Requiring Activity, the questions and answers will be posted on the FBO notice by Wednesday, September 25, 2019 for all potential contractors to see to eliminate any duplicate questions.

SUBMISSION OF QUOTES: Quotes shall be submitted no later than Friday, September 27, 2019 at 10:00 AM EST. Quotes shall be submitted electronically email to Rufus Lassiter at Rufus.lassiter@usmc.mil . Quoters are responsible for ensuring their quotes have been submitted timely. Delivery delays that cause a quote to be late are not the responsibility of the Government agency.

EVALUATION. Award will be made to the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable quote. The Government intends to make a single Firm Fixed Price order to satisfy this requirement. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of offers submitted.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a delivery order without discussions with vendors. Vendors should not expect requests for clarification or additional information from the Government. Award will be based on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to the solicitation. Therefore, quoters are cautioned that their initial quotes should contain their best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

Evaluation of quotes will be conducted on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis. The following ratings/definitions will be utilized when evaluating quotes:

The Government may use information such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), DoD PPIRS and the FAPIIS data available from Government sources to evaluate a Quoter's past performance.

PRICING

The price quote should avoid ambiguities of inclusion, exclusion, or content. Freight or delivery cost must be included in the quoters overall price.

The Government will evaluate Quoter’s quoted prices, but this factor will not be given an adjectival rating. Quotes will be evaluated on completeness, accuracy, and reasonableness. Evaluation of the quoted prices for the services will be based on a comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and may also be based on a comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) along with any other relevant price analysis techniques defined in FAR 15.404-1(b). Note, that while FAR Part 15 does not apply to this procurement, the price analysis techniques defined in FAR 15.404-1 will be utilized as appropriate.

Completeness and Accuracy. The Government will review the pricing tables for completeness and accuracy. A determination will be made as to whether the Quoter properly completed the pricing tables. The Quoter’s quote will be checked for mathematical correctness to include the following:

1) Checking arithmetic in all computations; and

2) Ensuring all prices are summarized correctly

3) Pricing shall not exceed two decimal places for cents.
