52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (DEVIATION MAR 2026)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 – QUOTATION SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the requirements of FAR 52.212-1, vendors shall submit a concise quotation containing the information below.

Vendors should provide only the information necessary to demonstrate their ability to successfully perform the requirement.

1. Price

Vendors shall provide a completed Bid Schedule reflecting the total firm-fixed price for complete performance of the Statement of Work.

The quoted price shall include all costs necessary to perform the requirement, including labor, supervision, materials, fiber rolls, wooden stakes, equipment, tools, personal protective equipment, transportation, delivery, site access and logistics, installation, cleanup, subcontractors, travel, and all other costs necessary to complete the work.

2. Technical Approach and Schedule

Vendors shall provide a brief description of their approach to supplying, delivering, and installing the required fiber rolls.

The description should demonstrate:

1. An understanding of the installation requirements, including compliance with Caltrans SC-5 except for the prohibition on trenching;

2. An understanding of the site conditions, access limitations, and restrictions on ground disturbance;

3. The approach to quality control and protection of the work area; and

4. The ability to complete all work within the required period of performance.

A detailed project schedule is not required; however, the vendor should identify its anticipated timeframe for completing the onsite installation.

3. Relevant Experience

Vendors should provide at least one example of work completed within the past five years involving fiber-roll installation, erosion control, or other work similar or relevant to this requirement.

For each example, provide, to the extent available:

• Brief description of the work;

• Project location;

• Approximate project value;

• Date or period of performance; and

• Customer name and point of contact.

If the vendor does not have directly similar experience, it may provide other experience it believes demonstrates its capability to successfully perform the requirement and briefly explain its relevance.

If the vendor has no relevant corporate experience to submit, the vendor shall state: “No relevant corporate experience.”

4. Past Performance

For the relevant project identified above, or another recent project the vendor believes demonstrates its performance, the vendor should provide customer contact information, if available, that the Government may use to obtain information concerning the quality and timeliness of the vendor's performance.

The Government may consider past performance information submitted by the vendor as well as information obtained from other reasonably available sources. The Government is not required to contact every reference identified by a vendor or obtain information from every potential source.

If the vendor has no relevant past performance information to provide, the vendor shall state: “No relevant past performance.”

The absence of relevant past performance will not, by itself, make a quotation ineligible for award.

5. Assumptions, Exceptions, and Clarifications

Vendors shall clearly identify any assumptions, exceptions, deviations, or clarifications applicable to their quotation.

If there are none, the vendor shall state: “No assumptions or exceptions.”

All submissions shall include the solicitation number in the subject line and be submitted to Oscar Orozco at Oscar_orozco@ios.doi.gov

52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (DEVIATION MAR 2026)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 – EVALUATION AND BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to the responsible vendor whose quotation represents the best overall value to the Government, considering the evaluation factors identified below.

The Government will conduct a comparative evaluation of quotations. Quotations will be compared directly with one another to identify relative advantages and disadvantages. Numerical scores and adjectival ratings will not be assigned.

The Government may consider information contained in the quotation together with other information reasonably available to the Government and relevant to the stated evaluation factors.

Factor 1 – Technical Capability and Relevant Experience

The Government will comparatively evaluate the extent to which each quotation demonstrates:

1. An understanding of the Statement of Work and the requirements for supplying, delivering, and installing the specified fiber rolls;

2. A practical approach for completing the installation in accordance with the required Caltrans SC-5 standard, including the prohibition on trenching and other unauthorized ground disturbance;

3. An understanding of the site conditions, access limitations, and requirements associated with working in an area containing potentially contaminated soils;

4. The ability to complete the required work within the specified period of performance; and

5. Relevant experience performing fiber-roll, erosion-control, or similar installation work.

The Government will consider the relative advantages and disadvantages demonstrated by each quotation and the degree of confidence the quotation provides that the vendor can successfully and timely complete the requirement.

Experience that is more similar to the scope and conditions of this requirement may provide greater confidence in successful performance and may be considered a comparative advantage.

The absence of relevant experience will not, by itself, make a quotation ineligible for award; however, it may provide the Government less confidence in the vendor's demonstrated capability when compared with a vendor possessing relevant experience.

Factor 2 – Past Performance

The Government will evaluate past performance to assess confidence that the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

The Government may consider past performance information submitted by the vendor as well as information obtained from other reasonably available sources, including customer references, Government contract administration records, Contractor Assessment Responsibility Reports, information from Government personnel with knowledge of the vendor's prior performance, and other reasonably available sources.

The Government may consider the relevance, recency, quality, and overall context of available past performance information.

Favorable past performance on relevant or similar work may increase the Government's confidence in successful performance and may provide a comparative advantage. Relevant adverse past performance information may decrease the Government's confidence in successful performance.

A vendor with no past performance, or for whom no relevant past performance information is available, will receive a neutral assessment. A neutral assessment will neither increase nor decrease the Government's confidence in successful performance, and a vendor will not be evaluated unfavorably solely because relevant past performance information is unavailable.

The Government is not required to contact every reference identified by a vendor or obtain information from every potential source.

Factor 3 – Price

The Government will evaluate the total firm-fixed price for complete performance of the requirement.

The Government will determine whether the selected vendor's price is fair and reasonable. The Government may compare quotations received and use other price analysis techniques, as appropriate.

Relative Importance and Award Decision

Factor 1 – Technical Capability and Relevant Experience is more important than Factor 2 – Past Performance. Factor 2 – Past Performance is more important than Factor 3 – Price.

When combined, the non-price factors are significantly more important than Price.

The Government may select a higher-priced quotation when the comparative advantages under the non-price factors are determined to warrant the additional price. As quotations become more similar under the non-price factors, Price will become increasingly important in the award decision.

Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose quotation provides the best overall value to the Government after consideration of the comparative advantages and disadvantages of the quotations and their respective prices.

Consistent with the simplified procedures applicable to this acquisition, the Government is not required to score quotations, establish a competitive range, or conduct discussions. The Government may communicate with vendors as necessary to facilitate evaluation.
