Addenda to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021)

TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

The Government will evaluate the vendors Technical Capability to determine acceptability of the quote in response to this solicitation.

To be considered technically acceptable:

· The Quoter’s supplies must meet the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics specified in this solicitation.

PAST PERFORMANCE

To be considered acceptable:

1. The quoter will be evaluated on their past performance record and any other relevant information obtained from available sources which may include Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), other databases, as well as interviews with POC references, Program Managers/Customers, Contracting Officers, or Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs), data submitted by the Quoter as part of the Past Performance file, and any other information available to determine the quality and relevance of the quoter’s past performance.

2. The Government shall determine how well the quoter performed on the recent (within 5 years of solicitation issuance) and relevant (similar in scope, magnitude, complexity) contracts. The Government will assign an acceptable/unacceptable rating as to the quoter’s ability to perform on the required effort based upon the recent and relevant past performance record considering the information available regarding quality of performance.

3. In the case of a quoter without a record or references of recent and 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 (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), Past Performance Evaluation). Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

4. Should the Government discover adverse past performance information to which the quoter had not had a prior opportunity to respond, the Contracting Officer will conduct communications if deemed appropriate.

PRICE AND ADMINISTRATIVE

3. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quoter mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quoter, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quoter’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
