FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:

A. Basis for Contract Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible and responsive offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, considering the factors listed in this provision.

1. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the Government will utilize comparative evaluations, and give preliminary consideration to all offers received in response to this solicitation. The Government will identify from all evaluated quotes, readily discernible value indicators that fall within the parameters of price, technical capability, and past performance. Therefore, the Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to select an awardee that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum outlined standards. Additionally, the Government is not bound to select an awardee whose quote may exceed the minimum requirement, but whose additional value or benefit is not deemed substantial enough by the Government evaluation team.

2. The Government award decision is not limited to the quote that only provides the lowest price.

3. The Government intends to make an award without conducting discussions with offerors after the close of the solicitation. Therefore, offerors should provide their best available pricing to the Government in their initial quote.

B. Evaluation Factors: The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Price: At minimum; the offeror must provide pricing in accordance with the instructions outlined in 52.212-1 and its addendum. The Government will determine pricing to be “fair and reasonable” before award. The Government may evaluate a price to ensure it is “realistic”, however is under no obligation to do so.

• The Government will only evaluate prices submitted on Attachment 2 - Price Schedule. During the evaluation process the Contracting Officer will determine a "Total Evaluated Price" (TEP) for each responsive quote.

The TEP is determined by totaling the amount of all line items identified in Attachment 2, to include the option line items.

• The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option.

• The term "Fair and Reasonable" for the purposes of this evaluation is defined as the price is not deemed too high when conducting evaluation of the proposed price in accordance with FAR 13.106-3, Award and Documentation.

• The term "Realistic" for the purposes of this evaluation is defined as the price is not deemed too low, and therefore would reflect a lack of understanding of the contract requirements, or pose an undue risk inherent in the offeror’s approach. An unrealistic price can lead to an offeror being deemed non-responsive, and subsequently being removed from consideration for award

Evaluation Criteria

2. Technical Capability: At a minimum; the offeror must provide all documentation required in accordance with the instructions outlined in 52.212-1 and its addendum.

• Substantial benefits to the Government, as determined by the Government evaluation team, specifically in relation to the technical capability factor may be given additional consideration for awardee selection.

3. Past Performance: In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(ii) the Government will evaluate past performance based on the one or more of the following:

• The Contracting Officer’s knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired
