Addenda to FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (OCT 2014)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The Government intends to award one contract. Award will be made to the lowest priced quote that meets all the other requirements of the solicitation. Technical tradeoffs will not be made, and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. Award will be made on an all or none basis.

Award will be made to the acceptable offeror with the lowest evaluated price, which is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), DFARS and DLAD, and which has submitted a quote conforming to the solicitation requirements. The requirements include all stated terms, conditions, completion of representations and certifications, and all other requirements of this solicitation. The initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint.

Contractors are reminded that a Request for Quotation is not a request for proposal and that a quote is not an offer that the Government accepts or awards. This competition is not being conducted using FAR Part 15 procedures.

The award decision process is being conducted under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13, wherein the Contracting Officer is permitted to engage in communications with individual contractors that do not rise to the level of “discussion” or “negotiations” as understood in FAR Part 15, evaluations of proposals.

Page 18 of 19 SP7000-21-RFQ-1018

The Government reserves the right to evaluate quotes and may seek to make an award without asking for revised quotes or entering substantive discussions. Accordingly, contractors are encouraged to provide their most realistic and competitive terms with their initial quotes.

If the Contracting Officer does determine it is in the Government’s best interest to conduct communications with offerors, and a contractor is given an opportunity to correct any clerical errors and/or obvious mistakes in a quote, and after correction the quote is still determined to be unacceptable, such determinations will be cause for rejection of the quote. No offeror will be given an unlimited amount of opportunities for correction of a quote. The Government reserves the right to make a final determination whether a quote is acceptable or unacceptable solely on the basis of the information submitted and proceed without requesting additional information.

EVALUATION FACTORS

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

FACTOR 3: PRICE

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

1) The Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated, to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated it can comply with the requirements of Attachment 1 – Statement of Work (SOW).

2) A quote will be deemed “acceptable” if

a. The offeror clearly demonstrates it can comply with all requirements of the Statement of Work.

b. The offeror provides specifications for each MFD model number submitted.

c. The offeror provides COMPLETED Supply Chain Risk Management Documentation as required in accordance with (IAW) the SOW Section XV.

3) A quote deemed “unacceptable” in any part of this factor will not be considered for award.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

1) Each proposal will be evaluated to the extent to which the Offeror has demonstrated an ability and willingness to perform:

a. A quality product or service (i.e. the conformance to contract requirements, specifications, and standards of good workmanship);

b. Timeliness of the contract with regard to completion of contract, task orders, milestones, delivery schedules and administrative requirements (e.g., effort that contributes to or affects the schedule variance);

c. Acceptable cost control with regard to the Offeror’s effectiveness in forecasting, managing, and controlling contract cost;

d. Good business relationships 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, and whether the contractor met their small/small disadvantaged and women owned business participation goals; and

e. Management of personnel with regard to demonstration of a commitment to the management of personnel with regard to the Offeror’s performance in selecting, retaining, supporting, and replacing when necessary, personnel.

2) To be considered relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate past execution of similar contracts in terms of complexity, technology, magnitude of effort, schedule, and scope. Additionally, the performance must have occurred during the last five (5) years. Offerors shall be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. In the case of an Offeror 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 Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), Past Performance Evaluation). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, Page 19 of 19 SP7000-21-RFQ-1018

“unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”. Should the Government discover adverse past performance information to which the Offeror had not had a prior opportunity to respond, the Contracting Officer will conduct communications if deemed appropriate.

FACTOR 3: PRICE

Technically acceptable quotes found to have an acceptable record of past performance will be evaluated for the lowest price.

The price offered by the…
