ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

** Basis of Award. This is a best value comparative evaluation conducted IAW FAR 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Contract resulting from competitive quotes received in response to this solicitation.

Award will be made to a single offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9, whose offer conforms to the solicitation requirements, meets the specifications of the performance work statement, and is the most advantageous to the Government, Price and Other Factors considered. The Government will evaluate the total price to determine if it is fair and reasonable.

The lowest price may or may not win the contract award once all factors are considered in the comparative evaluation. All contractors are reviewed for responsibility IAW FAR 9 and for US Government past performance. Past Performance: Quoters need not submit past performance information. The Government will consider past performance information, if available, from the web-enabled Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) regarding the Offeror's past performance history to supplement the technical evaluation. The Government may query other internal databases (e.g. CPARS) at its discretion.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate Offeror(s), in no order:

1. Technical

2. Experience

3. Price

1. Technical- offeror clearly demonstrates in its response a clear understanding of all the Government's requirements and effective and safe approach for the completion of service in accordance with the PWS. The contractor shall provide a plan outlining how they will provide all required rental equipment and operators within the specified period of performance listed in the PWS and pricing Sheet.

2. Relevant Experience - The Government will evaluate the relevant experience of the contractor to determine that the contractor is capable of performing the requirement. The Government will look for the contractor to submit no more than three previous relevant past experiences of similar scope. The contractor may submit government contract experiences and/or commercial equivalents. For commercial equivalents, quoters may combine multiple contracts/experiences into one experience if they occurred at one time (e.g. provided XXX of interpreters performing interpretation services at multiple locations). The Government will evaluate no more than two (2) examples of past work experience provided by the Quoter. While quoters will not be penalized for a lack of relevant experience, they may receive positive consideration for demonstrating recent and relevant experience. Also, quoters may receive positive consideration for demonstrating more recent and relevant experience than other quoters, and for experience that is determined more relevant than other quoters.

Recency: The Government will assess whether the provided past work experience is recent. For the purposes of this acquisition, "recent" is defined as performance occurring within three (3) years from the date the RFQ was issued.

Relevancy: The Government will assess whether the provided past work experience is relevant.

"Relevant" is defined as work similar in scope, size, and complexity to the services required under this RFQ. This includes efforts involving comparable activities, labor, equipment, materials, management, and supervision.

3. Price- Price is not formally scored. The Government expects competitive quotes to be submitted for this procurement and will use these competitive quotes to determine price reasonableness.

Price will be evaluated based on the combined total of all line items. If competitive quotes are not received, the Government reserves the right to utilize other methods identified in the FAR to determine price reasonableness. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and awards without discussions; therefore, quotes should be the contractor's best pricing.

W91QVP26QA012

a. Completeness. Each offeror is required to provide complete pricing for each contract line identified. The price quote shall include a unit price for each item and total firm-fixed price for all line items

b. Price Reasonableness. The offeror shall ensure prices reflect fair market value and be reasonable when compared to the independent Government estimate, if applicable, and current market prices for same or similar services.

Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements-Notice and Representation (Jun 2020)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision-

Foreign person means any person other than a United States person.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States. For purposes of the prior sentence, a foreign country does not include an outlying area of the United States.

United States person as defined in 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(30) means

(1) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(2) A domestic partnership;

(3) A domestic corporation;

(4) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(5) Any trust if-

(i) A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(b) Unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specified Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. See 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7.

(c) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). The Offeror may claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(d) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that

W91QVP26QA012

http://www.irs.gov/w14

(1) It [ ] is [ ] is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that-I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 [ ] a full exemption, or [ ] partial or no exemption [Offeror must select one] from the excise tax.

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then-

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the IRS as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts.
