2. Basis for Award. 502 CONS/JBKAE will issue a purchase order to the vendor who is determined to offer the best value to the Government. Failure to acknowledge Amendments will result in your quote not being considered for award. Contract type shall be Firm Fixed Price (FFP).

3. Best Value Determination. The Offeror who is deemed responsible and responsive with the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote will be determined to represent the best value.

Technical acceptability will be determined by an evaluation of the quoted requirements that meet the technical criteria that is contained in the solicited item description. Quotes initially will be ranked from lowest to highest based on total cost. The Government will then evaluate the three lowest priced quotes for Technical Acceptability. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if deemed to be in the best interest of the Government. If additional quotes are evaluated for technical acceptability, they will be evaluated in the order of total cost. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose quote is the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable quotes.

4. Interchanges. The government intends to award a purchase order without interchanges with respective vendors/quoters. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges if deemed in its best interest. Under appropriate circumstances, interchanges can be an effective method to improve the Government's evaluation of Offerors' quoted approaches and may reduce acquisition cycle time.

Interchanges may be written, email, phone call, etc., or any method which would accurately capture the contemporaneous sharing of information between the Government and the Offerors. Interchanges may also be oral conversations between the Government and the Offerors.

5. Mandatory Registrations. To be eligible for award, registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) must be current (legacy for On-line Registration and Certifications Application (ORCA) and Central Contractor Registration (CCR) registrations).

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 - EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Nov 2021) ADDENDUM Addendum to 52.212-2(a): Paragraph (a) is tailored as follows:(a) Basis for Award. The Government intends to award one Firm-Fixed-Price contract for this acquisition. Award will be made to technically acceptable Offerors who are deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104 and whose quote conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, and all other information required by this quote. Unless specifically identified in your quote, by submission of its quote, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a quote being determined ineligible for award. This contract will be awarded as Firm Fixed Price (FFP). It is the Government's intent to evaluate quotes and award without interchanges with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial quotes should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price, and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines them to be necessary.

1. Evaluation Process. The evaluation factor and process to be used is listed below.

1.1. Evaluation Factors. In evaluating quotes, the Government will select the quote that is most advantageous to the Government. To arrive at a decision, only the three lowest quotes will be assessed in accordance with the following evaluation factors for the award.

1.1.1. Technical Evaluation. Only the three lowest quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability.(a) Acceptability Ratings. The evaluation factors listed below will be used to evaluate each quote and will receive one of the following ratings:

(i) Acceptable -

(1) Proposed equipment/supplies. The proposed equipment/supplies clearly meet the characteristics as listed in this RFQ and the

SOW.

(ii) Unacceptable -

(1) Proposed equipment/supplies. The proposed equipment/supplies does not meet the characteristics as listed in this RFQ and the SOW.

1.1.2. Price Evaluation. Evaluations will be completed by determining the extended amount for each Line Item Number (CLIN) and the total evaluated price (TEP). The extended amount for each CLIN will be determined by multiplying the unit price by the quantity. An offeror's TEP will be determined by adding the extended amount for all CLINs. The Government may require submission of information other than cost or pricing data to the extent necessary to evaluate price reasonableness.

1.1.2.2. Evaluation of Factors. Offerors are advised that their initial submission should be their best effort. Only technically acceptable quotes, either initially or as a result of interchanges, are eligible for award. If award is made without interchanges, quote revisions will not be permitted. The Government will evaluate the quotes selected above for technical acceptability on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. For the technical quote to be rated as "Acceptable", the technical factor must be rated acceptable. If the technical factor is rated "Unacceptable" the overall quote will be rated as "Unacceptable".

(A) Interchanges. Under appropriate circumstances, interchanges can be an effective method to improve the Government's evaluation of Offerors' quoted approaches and may reduce acquisition cycle time. Interchanges maybe written, email, phone call, etc., or any method which would accurately capture the contemporaneous sharing of information between the Government and the Offerors. Interchanges may also be oral conversations between the Government and the Offerors.

(B) Factor # 1 - Submit product descriptions for each item being quoted. The Offeror shall submit product specifications that match the SOW. The standard has been met when: The offeror provides products that fully conform to the product description requirements specified in the SOW.
