(2) In the event the Government is unable to release one or more payments by EFT, the Contractor agrees to either-

(i) Accept payment by check or some other mutually agreeable method of payment; or

(ii) Request the Government to extend payment due dates until such time as the Government makes payment by EFT (but see paragraph (d) of this clause).

(b) Mandatory submission of Contractor's EFT information.

(1) The Contractor is required to provide the Government with the information required to make payment by EFT (see paragraph (j) of this clause).

The Contractor shall provide this information directly to the office designated in this contract to receive that information (hereafter: "designated office") by If not otherwise specified in this contract, the payment office is the designated office for the beginning of the period of performance.

In the event that the EFT information changes, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing the updated information to the designated office(s).

(2) If the Contractor provides EFT information applicable to multiple contracts, the Contractor shall specifically state the applicability of this EFT information in terms acceptable to the designated office. However, EFT information supplied to a designated office shall be applicable only to contracts that identify that designated office as the office to receive EFT information for that contract.

(c) . The Government may make payment by EFT through either the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, Mechanisms for EFT payment subject to the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association, or the Fedwire Transfer System.

(d) Suspension of payment.

(1) The Government is not required to make any payment under this contract until after receipt, by the designated office, of the correct EFT payment information from the Contractor.

The prompt payment terms of the contract regarding notice of an improper invoice and delays in accrual of interest penalties apply.

(2) If the EFT information changes after submission of correct EFT information, the Government shall begin using the changed EFT information no later than 30 days after its receipt by the designated office to the extent payment is made by EFT. However, the Contractor may request that no further payments be made until the updated EFT information is implemented by the payment office.

(e) Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers.

(1) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the Government used the Contractor's EFT information incorrectly, the Government remains responsible for-

(f) . A payment shall be deemed to have been made in a timely manner in accordance with the prompt payment terms of this EFT and prompt payment contract if, in the EFT payment transaction instruction released to the Federal Reserve System, the date specified for settlement of the payment is on or before the prompt payment due date, provided the specified payment date is a valid date under the rules of the Federal Reserve System.

(g) .

If the Government makes payment by check in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause, the Government shall mail the payment information to the remittance address in the contract.

(j) . The Contractor shall provide the following information to the designated office. The Contractor may supply this data for this or EFT information multiple contracts (see paragraph (b) of this clause). The Contractor shall designate a single financial agent per contract capable of receiving and processing the EFT information using the EFT methods described in paragraph (c) of this clause.

(1) The contract number (or other procurement identification number).

(2) The Contractor's name and remittance address, as stated in the contract(s).

(3) The signature (manual or electronic, as appropriate), title, and telephone number of the Contractor official authorized to provide this information.

(4) The name, address, and 9-digit Routing Transit Number of the Contractor's financial agent.

(End of provision)

Addendum to Evaluation - Commercial Product and Commercial Services

ADDENDUM TO FAR PROVISION 52.212-2 EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL

SERVICES

BASIS FOR AWARD. Award will be on the capability of the quoter to meet or exceed the specifications and pricing determined to be fair and reasonable. The resulting award will be a purchase order, all or none, to provide agricultural washdown Firm-Fixed Priced services.

EVALUATION. The Government intends to make a single Firm Fixed Price award to satisfy this requirement. Award will be made on the initial comparative evaluation of quotes received in response to this RFQ. Therefore, quoters are cautioned to ensure that initial quotes contain your best terms from a technical and price standpoint. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes:

1. TECHNICAL: Minimum specifications:

The contractor shall include a technical capability statement that includes, at a minimum, the following information to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirements:

a) The contractor's experience in conducting agricultural cleanings.

b) The contractor's proposed project plan to ensure all equipment is cleaned by the end of the Period of Performance.

Rating will be in accordance with: RATING DESCRIPTION

ACCEPTABLE Quotation meets the requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Quotation does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. PRICE: All quotes must be the Contractor's Best Pricing. Price analysis shall be used to verify that the overall price offered is fair and reasonable. The Offeror shall input the unit price and total in all the line items present in the SF1449. The total evaluated price is calculated using the prices proposed for all line items.

3. PAST PERFORMANCE: The contractor may elect to demonstrate acceptable past performance by submitting examples of previous contracts performed for similar services to those contained in this PWS. The Government will also utilize the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System to determine acceptable past performance.

These evaluation factors order does not take any precedence over each other but Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price.

4. EVALUATION PROCESS: The evaluation will proceed as follows:

Step 1 - The Contracting Officer will review offers to determine if each offeror has submitted a responsive quote. To be responsive, quoters must submit all the documentation identified above, by the RFQ close date/time shown in block 8 of the SF1449. A quote may be eliminated from the competition without further consideration if it does not meet the responsiveness requirements.

Step 2 - Quotes that have been determined responsive will then be evaluated and receive a rating of Exceptional, Acceptable or Unacceptable based on the technical acceptability criteria above. Offerors must receive an "Acceptable" rating on each technical element to be determined technically "Acceptable".

Step 3 - Remaining technically exceptional and acceptable quotes will be ranked in in order from lowest to highest based on submitted prices. All prices will be evaluated and determined to be fair and reasonable using one or more of the techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). The assessment of price will consider the overall quoted price. Quotes containing only partial pricing will not be evaluated.

Step 4 - The remaining quotes past performance will be reviewed for acceptability. If a company is found to have negative past performance to the point that there is a doubt that they would be able to perform the services, that company will be eliminated.

Step 5 - Award shall be made to the quoter who, based on the above evaluation, is found to be in the best interest of the US Government, without further consideration of any other quotes.

The Government reserves the right to award no contract depending on the quality of the quotes submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a single contract without requesting or accepting revised quotes. Therefore, the Offerors will be advised that their initial quote should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. The Government does reserve the right to clarify aspects of the quotes and hold discussions.

A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts.
