ADDENDA TO FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (OCT 2014)

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s Technical Capability to determine acceptability of the quote in response to this solicitation. Technical Capability will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis and shall not be rated. The following criteria will be used to establish technical acceptability:

To be considered technically acceptable:

• the offeror’s quote must comply with the requirements of law, regulation, and all conditions set forth in this solicitation.

• the offeror must demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements of the solicitation.

• the offeror must submit, for each interpreter proposed to perform under this contract, current certification by the National Association of the Deaf, or the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, or be included in the Pennsylvania Licensure Board for Interpreters and Transliterators.

Failure to provide a complete, detailed, realistic, and reasonable quote may reflect a lack of understanding of the requirements and may result in a determination that the offeror’s quote is unacceptable. The Government does not assume a duty to search for clarification data to cure problems or inconsistencies with an offeror’s quote.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s Past Performance to determine acceptability of the quote in response to this solicitation. Past Performance will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis and shall not be rated. The offeror will be evaluated on their past performance record and any other relevant information obtained from available sources which may include: Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases.

To be considered technically acceptable:

• the offeror’s SPRS record must have fewer than three (3) negative delivery actions within the last three (3) years;

• the offeror must have a Supplier Risk Score color-coded as Green within the SPRS database;

• the offeror must not have an overall negative history (above 50%) of past performance results through any combination of information received from the available past performance databases.

• the offeror must demonstrate an ability and willingness to perform: 1) Compliance with product/service specifications; 2) Ability to process orders and meet delivery timeframes; 3) Quality of final product/service; and 4) Customer service with regard to the timeliness, completeness and quality of problem identification and resolution, offeror’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior, customer satisfaction, timely award and management of subcontracts.

In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the PSC of the supplies being purchased, the supplier will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered acceptable.

FACTOR 3: PRICING

If a quote has been determined acceptable under each of the non-price factors listed above, the Government will then evaluate the quote for the lowest price. The proposed total price, the sum of the total amount for all CLINS, between offers that are determined to be technically acceptable will be the determining factor in the selection of a quote for award. All CLINs must be priced. Price analysis shall not be conducted on offerors determined to be unacceptable for award, since the offeror will not be in line for award as the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror.

The Government will perform a price analysis to determine the reasonableness of proposed price in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). The Government will utilize a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation.

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.
