ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 — Evaluation Factors for Award Section M – Evaluation Factors for Award

M.1 Basis for Award The Government intends to award a contract to the responsible offeror whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to provide the best value to the Government using a comparative evaluation. A comparative evaluation is the process of comparing the merits of quotes against each other without the use of a formal rating system.

An initial competitive pool of contractors to be evaluated will be established by evaluating the three (3) lowest priced offers. The government may, at its sole discretion, expand the competitive pool by any number of additional offerors at any stage of the procurement process as many times as it sees fit. If the competitive pool is to be expanded by less than the total number of responsible offerors, inclusion will be based on lowest price. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

Award will be made to the responsible offeror, in accordance with FAR Part 9.1, whose offer conforms to the solicitation requirements and is determined to be the Best Value Offeror after performing a comparative evaluation, where price and other factors are considered.

To make a determination of Best Value, the Government shall first perform a side-by-side comparative analysis (comparing contractor responses to one another) of the submission of each Offeror in the competitive pool, as described above, in response to the non-price factors to determine technically Best Suited. Then, the Government will compare the submission of each Offeror in the competitive pool considering price and performance Tradeoffs (if any), to determine the overall Best Suited offeror. The non-price factors are approximately equal in importance to each other and when combined, are approximately equal in importance to Price. The Government reserves the right to consider an offer other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s).

M.2 Evaluation Factors Quotes will be evaluated based on the following factors:

The Government will evaluate each offeror against each of the other offerors in the competitive pool with respect to their compliance with the solicitation requirements. Specifically, the Government will evaluate the narrative for analysis of the performance requirements and explanation of the processes, Technical:

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical quote to assess its understanding of and ability to meet the requirements of the PWS. The evaluation will focus on:

Technical Approach: The quality and thoroughness of the proposed curriculum and the plan for interactive, relevant training delivery.

Instructor Qualifications: The demonstrated experience and expertise of the proposed instructor in federal contracting and cybersecurity.

Price: The Government will evaluate the total firm-fixed-price for reasonableness. The price must be determined to be fair and reasonable to be eligible for award.

Quotation information shall be submitted via email. Submit responses to: yesica.l.burrill.civ@us.navy.mil Reference solicitation number: N00244-26-Q-0046 on all documents and requests for information.
