ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services

The following is additional instruction and information applicable to this solicitation.

1. Synopsis: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation.

2. Contract Type: The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract as a result of this solicitation.

3. Award Without Discussions: The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award without discussions with offerors (except clarification as described in FAR 15.306(a)) if needed. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the KO determines them to be necessary.

4. Proposal Submission: Offerors shall submit both a technical proposal and price proposal in response to this solicitation. The technical proposal shall address the elements of the PWS and items at section 5 below. The offerors pricing will be a separate submission to include the Government provided document titled “L&DC Price Worksheet” included in this solicitation.

5. In addition to addressing the elements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Offerors shall specifically address the following in their technical proposal:

a. Describe the facilities you will use to perform the required laundering services and describe whether this is a prime contractor facility or partner/subcontractor facility. Also:

i. If using the Prime Offeror facility, provide the physical address of your facility.

ii.

Technically Acceptable is defined as a proposal that is capable of meeting the requirements of the PWS.

7. Total Evaluated Price (TEP): For evaluation of price, the offerors TEP will consist of the total price for all periods plus 50% of the total price for Option Year 4.
