SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been added by full text:

REVISION TO THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS

Due to schedule constrainst the sequence of events as described in 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (d) Sequence of Events During Proposal Evaluation, the government revised the phased evaluation approach to combine the Phase II and Phase III evaluation. All 212 planned test assets were procured for both evaluation phases for all offerors in the competitive range. The establishment of a second competitive range was not necessary as Phase II and III were combined.

DELIVERY ORDER COMPETITION

In accordance with FAR 16.504, the Government guarantees that each successful offeror will receive at least the stated minimum amount specified in Contract Minimum/Maximum Quantity and Contract Value of the RFP at the time of contract award. CLIN and quantities will be awarded at the Contracting Officer's discretion to satisfy the contract minimum requirements. The maximum amount may be achieved through the issuance of a single or combination of orders at any time during the ordering periods, subject to the delivery order limitations established in Section I of this contract.

In the event of multiple awards, awardees will be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each order.

Delivery order competitions will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 16 procedures and will be conducted as best value tradeoff. The Government will provide the relative importance of the evaluation criteria. In the event of multiple awards, the Contractor whose delivery order proposal is determined to be the best value to the Government will receive the highest percentage of the overall delivery order in accordance with the distribution identified in each delivery order competition instructions.

The evaluation criteria identified herein will be considered by the Contracting Officer. Their relative importance may change dependent upon the circumstances of the Government's requirements at the time of delivery order competition. The Government will provide the relative importance of each factor.

The Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated using the factors shown in subparagraph (1) through (3) below to obtain the best value for the Government. The Offeror whose delivery order has been determined to be the best value for the Government will receive the highest percentage of the award. An example of a potential percentage breakdown for delivery order competitions is shown below:

Number of Awardees Percentage of Award

1 100% 2 70% / 30% 3 50% / 30% / 20%

The Contracting Officer reserves the right to alter the Percentage of Award after receipt of delivery order proposals.

The rationale will be documented in the delivery order file. Therefore, Offeror(s) are encouraged to propose their most favorable delivery schedule and pricing during delivery order competitions. In no case will a delivery order be awarded at a higher price than imposed by the basic contract.

W911QY19R0026

Broad discretion will be exercised by the Contracting Officer, who will consider the following factors in the placement of orders:

Quality of deliverables Past performance Price competition

Delivery order competitions will be conducted electronically. Offeror(s) proposing different prices from that which are stated in the basic contract will be required to submit signed offers prior to award of the order. Unsuccessful Offeror(s) on individual orders over $5.5M may request a debriefing from the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(iv)(E). Delivery Order competitions are only protestable in accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(10)(i), which states no protest under subpart 33.1 is authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of an order under a task-order contract or delivery-order contract, except for—

(A) A protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract; or

(B) A protest of an order valued in excess of $25 million. Protests of orders in excess of $25 million may only be filed with the Government Accountability Office, in accordance with the procedures at 33.104.

Any change to the protest threshold above in either the FAR or one of its supplements will result in a unilateral modification to this contract to update the above threshold accordingly.

Not all prospective Offeror(s) are entitled to an award on each of the Government’s delivery order requirements.

The number of delivery orders issued will be based upon the Contracting Officer’s determination of the best value to the Government, as described above.

For this acquisition, the base contract proposals and awards shall be considered delivery order competition for the issuance of the initial delivery orders. The Offeror whose proposal has been determined to be the best value for the Government will receive the highest percentage of the award.
