The following have been modified:

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

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical Approach

2. Past Performance

3. Price

4. Small Business Participation

All non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS

The Government intends to evaluate proposals in accordance with the criteria described within the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to a firm whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. Before award to a higher priced offer when a lower priced, conforming Offer(s) remains, the Source Selection Authority (SSA) must affirmatively determine that the higher priced offer’s technical superiority justifies award to that Offeror and offers the best value to the government. Innovations in proposals will be evaluated to determine if creative ideas of the Offeror are a better value to the Government compared to the minimum criteria. Innovations must be clearly delineated in the price proposal, and if awarded, will be incorporated into the resulting contract. This contract will be awarded to the Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, noting that as proposals become increasingly technically equal and are awardable in other non-price areas, the proposed price will become increasingly determinative in the best value decision. The following evaluation factors will be used:

1.Technical Approach - Most important factor;
2.Past Performance - Somewhat less important than technical approach;
3.Price Proposal – Slightly less important than past performance;
4.Small Business Participation - Significantly less important than technical, past performance and price, considered individually.

Technical approach is the most important factor. All the non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

However, as proposals become increasingly technically equal (and at least awardable in the other non-price areas), the proposed price will become increasingly determinative in making best value decision for award.

The adjectival rating scale to be applied for Factor I, Technical, will use a combined technical/risk rating of Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal or Unacceptable in conjunction with the significant strengths, strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Proposals must receive a technical rating of acceptable or better to be eligible for award. See Table 1 below for descriptions of the adjectival ratings.

TABLE 1

Adjectival Rating Description

Outstanding
Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths and the risk of unsuccessful performance is low.
Good
Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and the risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.
Acceptable*
Proposal indicates and adequate approach and understanding of the requirements and the risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.
Marginal – not eligible for award
Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.
Unacceptable – not eligible for award
Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

*Technical proposals shall receive an adjectival rating of Acceptable or better to be eligible for award.

2. Past Performance.

Factor II, Past Performance, will be evaluated for recency, relevancy and quality. Past Performance is limited to projects and/or contracts that are relevant to the type of work being solicited and were performed within the last three (3) years prior to the RFP release date. Past Performance portions of the proposals will receive a Recency Rating, a Relevancy Rating, and a Confidence Assessment, as detailed below:

a.Recency of work (within the last 3 years) – The Government will only review work performed during the last 3 years.
b.Relevancy of work (including context of data)—evaluated as very relevant, relevant, somewhat relevant, and not relevant. Further evaluation/consideration will only be given to work that is somewhat relevant or better.

TABLE 2

Adjectival Rating
Description
Very Relevant
Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Relevant
Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Somewhat Relevant
Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Not Relevant
Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
c.Quality – evaluated to determine how well offerors performed on past contracts based on information from customers.
d.Overall confidence Rating assigned to Past Performance in its Entirety--Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Neutral Confidence, Limited Confidence, or No Confidence. Neutral Confidence or better required will be required for award. If no recent/relevant performance record is available or if the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be given a “Neutral Confidence” assessment rating.

TABLE 3

Adjectival Rating
Description
Substantial Confidence
Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
Satisfactory Confidence
Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
Neutral Confidence
No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.
Limited Confidence
Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
No Confidence
Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

3. Price

Factor III (Price) will not be assigned an adjectival rating but the Government will evaluate all aspects of the price proposal for fairness, reasonableness, and balance. Offers found to be unreasonably high may be considered unacceptable and may be rejected solely on that basis. The proposed prices in Factor III Price, will be evaluated to assure that the final agreed to price is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b) and FAR 15.404-1(c). In accordance with FAR 15.306, the Government intends to make an award without discussions; however, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions, if necessary. Again, to be eligible for award, the price proposal will be evaluated for fairness, reasonableness and balance to determine the best value to the Government. Offers found to be unreasonably high may be considered unacceptable and rejected solely on that basis.

4. Small Business Participation

Factor (IV), Small Business Participation evaluators will evaluate proposals and an adjectival rating of Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable, as defined in the DOD Source Selection Procedures (DFAR PGI 215.3 dated 31 March 2016) and the Army Source Selection Supplement (AS3) to the Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures dated 21 December 2012.
