Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Basis for Award:

The Government intends to award a single contract/purchase order to the responsive and responsible offeror that submits the lowest priced proposal that meets all the minimum technical requirements specified in the solicitation. Proposals will be evaluated in two separate volumes:

Volume I - Technical Quote and Volume II - Price Quote. The Government will first evaluate proposals for technical acceptability on a pass/fail (acceptable/unacceptable) basis. Only those proposals deemed technically acceptable will have their price volumes considered. The technically acceptable offeror with the lowest evaluated total price will be selected for award.

Discussions: The Government intends to evaluate quotes and make an award decision without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the initial quote should contain the offeror's best terms.

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary.

The following are the definitions that shall be used for evaluation of response received:

ADJECTIVAL

RATING

DEFINITION

ACCEPTABLE Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The proposals will be evaluated acceptable/unacceptable based on the criteria established in this solicitation as follows.

Factor One (1) Technical:

In order to achieve an acceptable rating for the technical factor the offeror's response must clearly meet the Scope of Work (SOW):

Factor Two (2) Price:

The total evaluated price shall be the total amount proposed on line item 0001 determined by summing the price proposed on each line item.

An offeror shall propose on line item 0001 to be considered for award. Unit pricing shall be listed with the extended cost for each item. Line item 0002, CDRLs, are not separately priced.

Adequate competition is anticipated for this purchase order. However, if only one offer is received, the Government reserves the right to request other than certified cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-3.

Price/Cost Inconsistencies: A proposal is presumed to represent an offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Each initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms for award for this purchase order. Any inconsistencies in performance or price should be explained in the proposal. Any significant inconsistencies, if unexplained, raise a fundamental issue of the offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of work required and its financial ability to perform the contract, and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.
