ADDENDUM to 52.212-2 – Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Price: The quotations will be ranked according to their total evaluated price (TEP) as identified by contract line-item total pricing. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all CLINs for the required period of performance. The offeror's price quotation will be evaluated using one or more of the procedures and techniques defined in FAR 13.106-2 and FAR 13.106-3 in order to determine price reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through competitive quotations as described in FAR 13.106-3.

2. Technical: The Vendor shall submit a plan describing how they will meet the requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Vendor shall demonstrate that they can provide all content within the PWS. Quotes will be evaluated to be technically acceptable or not technically acceptable based on the evaluation factors listed above.

3. Past Performance: The lowest total evaluated priced, technically acceptable offeror’s past performance will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. In order for the Government to have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, the offeror must demonstrate that they have provided Data Science and Research Support.

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(c) Basis of Award. If the lowest total evaluated priced, technically acceptable offeror receives an “Acceptable” past performance rating, evaluation of that quote is complete, award will be made to that offeror, and the evaluation process will stop. If the lowest total evaluated priced, mailto:jacob.saunders.3@us.af.mil mailto:jacob.saunders.3@us.af.mil mailto:epati.scanlan.1@us.af.mil technically acceptable offeror receives an “Unacceptable” past performance rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest total evaluated priced offeror will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until a technically acceptable offeror is evaluated to have an acceptable past performance rating, or until all offerors are evaluated.

Clarifications conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for a quote revision. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions (while keeping with FAR Part 12 and 13).
