ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2:

BASIS FOR OFFER. This is a competitive acquisition in accordance with FAR part 12 & 13 in which the Government will submit an offer in the form of a purchase order to the responsible, technically acceptable offeror with the lowest evaluated price whose quote meets all solicitation requirements. Tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and representations and certifications, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

Initially the government will review all quotes to determine if each timely received quote meets the requirements of the RFQ. Failure to meet the requirements may, at the Government’s sole discretion, result in the quote being determined unacceptable, being ineligible for award and eliminated at this point from the competition and further consideration. The Government may choose to waive or correct any discrepancies in quotes via informal methods (i.e. e-mails, phone calls, etc.).

1. Price Evaluation. Next, the government, will rank all quotes that have adhered to the solicitation requirements by price (from lowest to highest total evaluated price). The total evaluated price will be determined by adding together the extended amounts quoted for each line item. The extended amounts will be confirmed by multiplying each line item quantity by the quoted unit price. If there is a conflict between the quoted unit prices and extended amounts, the unit price shall be used to determine the total evaluated price. Any discounts identified in the quote will be included in the evaluation of the total evaluated price. Failure to propose for any line item may cause the vendor’s quote to be excluded from the evaluation. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness of the quoted price.

1. Technical Evaluation Information. The lowest priced quote will then be evaluated for technical acceptability to determine if the proposed product meets the salient characteristics. The technical information will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, as described below. If the lowest price quote is deemed acceptable, past performance will be reviewed and no other quotes will be evaluated at this time. If the lowest priced quote is deemed unacceptable, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated. This process will continue until a technically acceptable quoter has been identified. If there are no technically acceptable quotes, the Government may re-define the requirement.

The quote submitted must provide a product that meets all of the following characteristics listed below or will be deemed unacceptable.

Technical Acceptable/ Unacceptable Rating Description

Acceptable
Quoter’s technical approach provides a product that meets the following:

Lifetime Fluorometer Salient Characteristics

1. Must be able to do samples in the Vis and NIR, a minimum of 1200 nm.

2. Must be adaptable to do samples in the UV down to 380 nm.

3. Must have or be adaptable for cryostat work at 77k.

4. Must be able to do solid, thin film and solutions.

5. Must be able to measure NIR lifetimes down to 200 ps with a white light laser.

6. Must be able to measure down <50 ps with visible lasers for high Q samples.

1. Past Performance. Past performance will be reviewed upon the selection of apparent awardee utilizing information obtained from sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to: the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (www.PPIRS.gov) and the System for Award Management (www.beta.sam.gov) to ensure the Quoter is not debarred, suspended or otherwise ineligible to receive an award and has no derogatory information in PPIRS, SAM, or other Government Source. If there is any debarred, suspended or other negative past performance information found to which the quoter has previously had the opportunity to respond, the quoter will be deemed ineligible for award and will be removed from further consideration. In this instance the process will then continue in order with the next lowest price.

4. The clause at FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Items (Oct 2018), and the addenda listed below applies to this acquisition.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4(c):
