(ix) ADDENDUM 52.212-2

FAR provision 52.212-2 is hereby replaced in its entirety

BASIS OF AWARD- EVALUATION

I. Basis for Contract Award – Evaluation of Quotations-Simplified Acquisition Procedures

(a) In accordance with FAR 13.106, the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

(i) Technical

(ii) Price

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. This includes options under FAR clause

52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, if included in this solicitation. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier’s quotation does not establish a contract. A written notice of award or purchase order, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.

II. Quote Evaluation: The evaluation process will be accomplished as follows (Organized by

Volume):

A. General: We will award a contract to the responsible quoter who represents the best value to the Government on the basis of its (1) Quote and (2) Technical Approach.

B. Volume I, Quote

1. General: We will determine the merits of your quote on the basis of (a) its acceptability and

(b) its quoted price.

(a) Acceptability: We will determine the acceptability of your quote on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. We will consider your quote acceptable if it (i) conforms to the material solicitation requirements; (ii) manifests your unconditional assent to the terms of this Request for

Quote (RFQ), and (iii) you are a responsible prospective contractor pursuant to FAR 9.104-1.

(NOTE: By submission of a quote, the quoter represents that it unconditionally assents to the terms of this Request for Quote, except for any written express exceptions.)

(i) Conformance. Material solicitation requirements include those terms affecting quality, quantity, price, or delivery.

(ii) Assent. If you (1) take exception to any term of this RFQ, (2) propose any additional terms, or

(3) omit material information required by this RFQ then we will consider your quote to be unacceptable and ineligible for contract award.

(b) Price: We will evaluate your price for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR

13.106-3(a). Additionally, the Government will consider a quoter’s price as an indication of how well the quoter understands the requirement. Therefore, a price realism analysis will be conducted to ensure the successful completion of the contract.

C. Volume II, Technical Factor

1. General: The technical factor assessment will assess the prime’s (hereafter referred to as quoter’s) ability to successfully accomplish the effort based on the quoter’s demonstrated technical approach. The Government will evaluate the quoter’s demonstrated technical approach in supplying products and services that meet users’ needs. Technical approach simply means the method of fulfilling the government’s requirement and will be assessed on comparative basis.

Standard of Proof: A technical approach is highest rated when it meets or exceeds the requirements identified in Attachment II, Vehicle List and is within a 30 mile radius from

Channel Islands Air National Guard Station.

(End of provision)

(x) Each quoter shall ensure the provision at FAR 52.212-3 including its Alternate I, Vendors

Representations and Certifications--Commercial Items (Nov 2017), are updated at www.sam.gov.

Failure to obtain SAM registration will result in submissions not being considered for award.

(xi) The clause at FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items (Jan 2017), is hereby incorporated by reference, with the same force and effect as if it were given in full text.
