ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

52.212-2 Addendum EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

Evaluation Factors for Award

a. Basis for Contract Award. This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). The test program authorized under FAR Subpart 13.5 is applicable to this acquisition. Award will be made to a single quoter who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose quote is technically acceptable, conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose quote, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the lowest price.

b. Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award one (1) contract as a result of this solicitation. Quotes received for less than the stated number of items listed in the Price Schedule will be considered ineligible for award. As set forth in FAR 52.212-1 (g), the Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with quoters. Therefore, the quoter’s initial quote should contain the quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

c. Evaluation Criteria. Evaluation criteria consist of factors. The quotes will be evaluated under three (3) evaluation factors: Experience, Past Performance, and Price.

Factor 1 – Experience Factor. The Experience Factor will receive one of the ratings defined below.

Table 1. Mission Capability Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

In order to receive an acceptable rating, the experience factor submissions must demonstrate experience in same or similar magnitude and complexity outlined in the PWS.

Factor 2 – Past Performance. The Past Performance Factor will receive one of the ratings defined below.

Table 1. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown.

Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

In order to receive an acceptable rating, the Past Performance submissions must show evidence of successfully performing work same or similar to the work outlined in the PWS or meet the criteria for “unknown” record of past performance. Quoters without a record of relevant past performance, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.” Past Performance must be both recent and relevant. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity.

Factor 3 – Price. Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3(a). Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable.

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. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the quoter's final option period price to the quoter's total price. Thus, the quoter's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, and 1/2 of the 4th option. Quoters are not required to enter a price for the six-month period.

Quoters must submit Experience and Past Performance on the attached sheets.

d. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

1.6.15.1.1. The Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by establishing the ground rules for a future competition;

1.6.15.1.2. The Contractor's objectivity and judgment are not biased because of its present or future interests (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) which relate to work performed under this contract; and

1.6.15.1.3. The Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by virtue of its access to non-public or proprietary information belonging to others.

1.6.15.2. Definitions.

1.6.15.2.1. The term “Contractor” herein used in section 1.6.16., Organizational Conflict of Interest, means: (a) the organization (hereinafter referred to as "it" or "its") entering into this agreement with the Government; (b) all business organizations with which it may merge, join or affiliate now or in the future and in any manner whatsoever, or which hold or may obtain, by purchase or otherwise, direct or indirect control of it; (c) it’s parent organization, if any and any of its present or future subsidiaries, associates, affiliates, or holding companies, and; (d) any organization or enterprise over which it has direct or indirect control now or in the future.

1.6.15.2.2. The term "proprietary information" for purposes of section 1.6.16., Organizational Conflict of Interest, means any information considered so valuable by its owners that it is held secret by them and their licensees. Information furnished voluntarily by the owner without limitations on its use, or which is available without restrictions from other sources, is not considered proprietary.

1.6.15.3. Organizational Conflicts of Interest Examples. The following examples illustrate situations in which organizational conflicts of interest may arise. These examples are not all inclusive.

1.6.15.3.1. Biased Ground Rules. This type of conflict may arise in situations where a company sets the ground rules for a future competition.

1.6.15.3.2. Impaired Objectivity. This type of conflict may exist where a Contractor’s obligations under a contract require objectivity, but another role of the Contractor casts doubt on its ability to be truly objective. An example of this type of conflict is where a Contractor’s work under one contract entails evaluating itself, its affiliates, or its competitors under a separate contract.

1.6.15.3.3. Unequal Access to Information. This type of conflict may arise when a Contractor has access to nonpublic or proprietary information as part of its performance under a contract that gives it an unfair advantage in a competition for a later contract.

Potential conflicts may exist in accordance with FAR 9.505-1, Providing Systems Engineering and Technical Direction, through 9.505-4, Obtaining Access to Proprietary Information. In this regard, the Contractor is responsible for identifying any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest to the KO that arise as the result of performance under this contract.

1.6.15.5. Non-Disclosure Agreements. N/A

1.6.15.6. Training. N/A

1.6.15.7. Subcontracts. The Contractor agrees that it will include the provisions in paragraphs 1.6.15.4., 1.6.15.5., and 1.6.15.6., above and this paragraph in consulting agreements, teaming agreements, and subcontracts of all tiers, which involve access to information or the performance of services described in paragraph 1.6.15.4., above. The use of section 1.6.15., in such agreements, shall be read by substituting the word "consultant" or "subcontractor" for the word "Contractor" whenever the latter appears.

1.6.15.8. Additional Constraints. Intentionally left blank.

1.6.15.9. Conflicts Involving Future Procurements. The award of this contract, government tasking’s or acquiescence in the Contractor’s performance of services hereunder shall not constitute or be interpreted as a determination that the Contractor is eligible to participate in future procurements, developmental efforts, implementation efforts, or related activities. Only the KOs for such efforts, applying the rules, principles, and procedures of FAR Subpart 9.5, have the authority to determine whether a conflict exists, in connection with such procurements.
