ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following:

(a). Award will be made using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. Award will be made to a responsible offeror on the basis of the lowest price of quote meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Award may be made without discussions with offerors (except communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification). Therefore, each offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary.

(b) Evaluation criteria consists of factors and subfactors. The Government will make an independent judgment of each factor and subfactor based on the ability to meet the requirements stated in the Statement of Work contained in the solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1. Technical Capability:

The Government will evaluate the quoter's capabilities to provide the Leased Chemistry and Immunoassay Analyzers and Reagents Supplies as stated in the RFQ.

Subfactor 1A: Statement of Work Salient Characteristics (SOW Ref Attachment 1)

Subfactor 1B: Performance Requirement Summary (SOW Ref 11.1, Table 5).

Technical acceptability ratings reflect the Government’s confidence in each Offeror’s product, as demonstrated in its submission, to meet the requirements set forth in the solicitation. The Government will make an independent judgment of the acceptability. To receive consideration for award, an Acceptable rating must be achieved for Factor 1 – Technical Capability and subfactors.

If any subfactor is rated as Unacceptable, the entire Factor will be rated as Unacceptable. The following adjectival ratings will be used in evaluating the offeror’s Technical Capability:

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the statement of work salient characteristics and performance requirement summary objectives of the SOW.

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the statement of work salient characteristics and performance requirement summary objectives of the SOW.

Note: Each subfactor shall be separately addressed in the offeror’s quote. An offeror must be found technically acceptable on each subfactor in order to be eligible for award.
