Addendum to Evaluation - Commercial Product and Commercial Services

Addendum to 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

(i) Technical;

Factor 1 - Technical Approach

Factor 2 - Management Approach

(ii) Past Performance

(III) Price

II. Quote Evaluation: The evaluation process will be accomplished as follows (Organized by Volume):

A. Volume I&II, Technical/Quote

1. General: The Government will evaluate the Quoter's understanding of the requirement, feasibility of approach, completeness, and technical risk related to the PWS. This evaluation will consist of an assessment of all relevant aspects of the Quoter's technical approach.

(a) Acceptability: We will determine the acceptability of your quote on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. We will consider your quote acceptable if it (i) conforms to the material solicitation requirements; (ii) manifests your unconditional assent to the terms of this Request for Quote (RFQ), and (iii) you are a responsible prospective contractor pursuant to FAR 9.104-

1. (NOTE: By submission of a quote, the quoter represents that it unconditionally assents to the

)terms of this Request for Quote, except for any written express exceptions.

(i) Conformance. Material solicitation requirements include those terms affecting quality, quantity, price, or delivery. Narrative will be evaluated for conformance with the Performance Work Statement.

(ii) Assent. If you (1) take exception to any term of this RFQ, (2) propose any additional terms, or (3) omit material information required by this RFQ then we will consider your quote to be unacceptable and ineligible for contract award.

Rating descriptions are described below:

Rating Rating Definition

Good Technical Factors 1&2 meet or exceeds requirements, indicates a good approach and understanding of the requirements and offers added value.

Acceptable Technical Factors 1&2 meet requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Unacceptable

Technical Factors 1&2 do not meet requirements of the solicitation and is not awardable.

b) Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line-item prices.

Quotes that do not meet or exceed the technical capability or quality of the item offered to the Government requirement shall not be selected regardless of price. Price will be used to evaluate a quote's price and the extent to which it is fair and reasonable. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 12.204. Through these techniques the Government will determine whether the price is reasonable, complete, and not unbalanced.

C. Volume III, Past Performance Factor

1. General: The past performance assessment will assess the prime's (hereafter referred to as quoter's) ability to successfully accomplish the proposed effort based on the quoter's demonstrated present and past work record. The Government will evaluate the quoter's demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and services that meet users' needs, including cost and schedule. The recency and relevancy of the information, the source of the information, context of the data and general trends in the contractor's performance will be considered.

Supplier Performance Risk System. A risk score of Red (lowest 5%) or Yellow (Next 10%) will be considered unacceptable. If no information is found, that will be treated as neutral which is considered acceptable. An unacceptable risk rating will be grounds for exclusion from award consideration.

Next, we will evaluate all quotes with acceptable Supplier Performance Risk Systems for recency. For purposes of this evaluation, recency is defined as demonstrated experience (active or completed efforts) performed within the past three (3) years from the issuance

. Then, we will evaluate recent contracts for relevancy as described date of this solicitation below (see Table 1). Finally, we will evaluate recent and relevant contracts for overall quality (see Table 2).

The evaluation of the quoter's (including partnerships and joint venture) present/past performance WILL NOT include the present/past performance of any subcontractors, predecessor companies, affiliates, other divisions or corporate management even though they may perform major or critical aspects of this requirement. Only the quoter's (includes partnerships and joint ventures) past performance will be evaluated.

2. Past Performance Assessment: Present and Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which you have satisfied your customers in the past and complied with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Your past performance is relevant to this competition when you have done recent work that has confronted you with the same kinds of challenges that you would reasonably expect to encounter during performance of the contract described by the RFQ. We will assess your past performance on the basis of recency, relevancy, and quality (general trends in contractor performance and source of information). Past performance information may be obtained from any sources available to the Government.

3. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings:

a) As a result of the recency and relevancy assessments of current and prior contracts, a relevancy rating described below will be assigned within the past performance evaluation.
