52.212-2 ADDENDUM

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (ADDENDUM)

1.0 EVALUATION

Award will be made based on price and other factors in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a)(2). The

Government will select the best overall quote, based on a comparative evaluation process between quotes in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b). When using the comparative evaluation methods IAW FAR

13.106-2(b)(3), the Government is not required to identify relative weight of evaluation factors, hold discussions, or use other FAR Part 15 procedures under the comparative evaluation process. Direct comparisons are made by comparing one acceptable quotation with another in a uniform and fair manner to determine which Quoter provides the Government what is needed as outlined in requirements listed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Award therefore may not be made to the Lowest Price

Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

https://www.quantico.marines.mil/Base-Access/ https://www.quantico.marines.mil/Base-Access/

The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order (PO) to satisfy this requirement. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the quote submitted.

The comparative evaluation factors are as follows:

- Factor 1 – Technical Capability

- Factor 2 – Past Performance

- Factor 3 – Price

1.1 Factor 1 - Technical Capability

1.1.1 The Government will evaluate the Companies knowledge and understanding of the technical and programmatic requirements described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS); the capability to perform all of the tasks outlined in the PWS so as to provide continuous quality support; the performance objectives that can be accomplished by the quoted technical approach and the benefits and advantages of that approach. The Government shall evaluate the roles of staff and team resources to execute the intended strategy, and how it relates to the Quoters capacity to support the identified mission areas, understanding of the priorities and emerging issues within those areas, and ability to successfully execute their approach that ensures quality performance and use of staff resources to meet PWS objectives to execute the intended strategy. The evaluation will consider the identified quoted personnel in direct support of the PWS, showing experience, expertise, qualifications, and direct correlation to the PWS requirements.

1.1.2 Adjectival Ratings for Factors – Technical Capabilities

Once these requirements are established, the evaluation team shall determine whether the quote is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined below:

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

1.2 Factor 2 – Past Performance

1.2.1 The Government will evaluate the quality of a Quoter’s recent (performed within three (3) years of the RFQ issued date) and relevant (similar in size and scope) past performance based on the input received by the Quoter, its references and other reliable sources contacted by the Government. For those efforts currently being performed, the quoter must have performed for at least six (6) months from the date of issuance of this RFQ. Quoters that have no record of past performance (i.e. new businesses) must submit a signed and dated past performance certification statement to that effect. The Quoter should provide no more than three (3) references demonstrating relevant past performance to demonstrate the quality of performing the same or similar services within the last three (3) years. Based of the past performance information submitted by the Quoter, the evaluation team shall determine whether the quote is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined below:

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown. (See note below)

Unacceptable Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

NOTE: In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable." The quote will also be reviewed for consistency to ensure that all performance, scope, and assumptions quoted in other sections of the quote are captured in the price quote section.

*CPARS evaluations will take precedent over submitted past performance questionnaires that reflect the same performance periods.

1.3 Factor 3 – Price

1.3.1 The price analysis techniques set forth in FAR 13.106-3(a) are used to determine whether the quoted price is fair and reasonable. A quoted price is reasonable when it is fair to the buyer, fair to the seller, and reasonable considering the market conditions, available alternatives, and price-related factors as determined through one or more of the price analysis techniques. The quote will also be reviewed for consistency to ensure that all performance, scope, and assumptions quoted in other sections of the quote are captured in the price quote section.

1.3.2 The price of the base period and all option periods will be evaluated but not rated. In addition, FAR

Clause 52.217-8 “Option to Extend Services” is included in this requirement and will be evaluated. This option shall not exceed 6 months in any combination and will be evaluated by utilizing the total amount of the final option period and dividing it by 2 providing a total amount for a 6 month period. This solicitation is and should reflect the Quoter’s most competitive price and terms.
