Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Products and Services

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This section provides general guidance as well as specific instructions on the format and content of an offerors submissions. The offeror’s submission must include all data and information requested and shall be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Any offeror who submits an incomplete package will be considered non-responsive to this solicitation and may not be evaluated for award. For the purposes of this solicitation, non-responsiveness refers to (but is not limited to): failure to follow submission procedures and format (as contained/described herein), and failure to provide a Unit Price and Extended Total/Amount for each Contract Line Item as required by this solicitation. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the

Performance Work Statement (PWS). Non-conformance with the instructions provided may result in an unfavorable evaluation.

Offers shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s submission.

Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Point of Contact – The Contracting Officer (KO) is the sole point of contact for this acquisition.

Discrepancies – If an offeror believes the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the KO in writing with supporting rationale. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial submissions, as received, without discussion.

ORGANIZATION/NUMBER OF COPIES/PAGE LIMITS

The offeror shall prepare submissions as set forth in the organizational table below.

Submission Organization

Volume Volume Contents Page Limit

I Technical Quote 10

II Price 10

Page Limitations – Page limitations shall be treated as maximums. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the quote. Each page shall be counted except the following: cover page, table of contents, tabs, glossaries, and information sheets.

Volume 1 - Technical Information

Technical Quote Information – All technical performance information shall be addressed

ONLY in Volume 1.

The following information shall be provided and will be evaluated. Quotes shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation. Offerors shall assume that the

Government has no prior knowledge of their experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s quote. The quote should not simply rephrase or restate the

Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the

Offeror intends to meet these requirements.

a. Familiarity with PWS Section 5;

The Technical quote shall address how the offeror intends to comply with both technical and management performance requirements contained in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Conformance with the PWS: The quote shall be practical, specific, comprehensive and shall clearly demonstrate both the offerors understanding of the requirements and its capability to meet the Government’s needs. Statements such as “We understand, can, and will comply with all specifications”; or phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed”, “well known techniques will be used”, etc., will be deemed insufficient and receive less favorable results in the evaluation process.

Volume II Price

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

Addendum to 52.212-2 EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND

COMMERCIAL SERVICES (Nov 2021)

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 factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Factor 2: Price

Offers will be evaluated on price after receiving no less than an Acceptable rating on technical.

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).

This requirement contains 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. Circumstances may arise that require the Contracting Officer to utilize FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services for no more than six (6) months. Inclusion of this clause shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options(s). Pricing for this option will be pro-rated to the contracted rate for the Period of

Performance immediately preceding it.

Basis for Contract Award - This solicitation is conducted in accordance with Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). These regulations are available electronically at https://acquisition.gov/browse/index/far

A contract will be made based on the lowest-priced technically-acceptable quote that is determined to be the best value to the Government and conforms to the solicitation requirements

(to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Addendum to 52.212-1). The government intends to award without discussions but reserves the right to do so.

Number of Contracts to be Awarded -The Government intends to award one (1) contract as a result of this solicitation.

Evaluation Process

The award will be made based on the lowest-priced technically-acceptable quote that is determined to be the best value to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the https://acquisition.gov/browse/index/far two evaluation factors: technical and cost/price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “acceptable” must be achieved for the technical factor, to include all sub-factors.

Factor One: Technical Quote

Evaluation Factors: In order to be considered for further evaluation, an Offeror must first be determined “Acceptable” in the Technical factor. In order to be determined “Acceptable”, an

Offeror shall, in the determination of evaluator, be rated “Acceptable” in ALL criteria stated below.

a. Conformance with PWS Section 5;

Technical Evaluation Ratings: The ratings of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” will be used in the evaluation and assessment of each Technical Sub-factor and the overall

Technical rating of the Technical Quote.

Failure to provide required technical data with quotes may render an offeror’s quote noncompliant with the solicitation requirements and ineligible for award. The Technical

Quote shall be prepared in accordance with the instructions given in this section and will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation –Commercial Items and FAR

Part 15.305 Proposal Evaluation. Technical Quote binders shall not include price or pricing information.

Factor Two: Price

The Government will verify unit prices and extended (CLIN) pricing is accurate as offered.

Upon verification of CLIN prices, the Government will add all CLINs plus ½ of the price for

CLIN 3001, ½ of the price for CLIN 3002 and ½ of the price for CLIN 3003 (to account for the

52.217-8 price) to arrive at a Total Evaluated Price. Put another way, the formula for the Total

Evaluated Price is as follows: 0001 + 0002 +0003 + 1001 + 1002 + 1003 + 2001 + 2002 + 2003

+ 3001 + 3002 + 3003 + (.5 * 3001) + (.5 * 3002) + (.5 * 3003) = Total Evaluated Price.

The Government expects adequate competition to assist in determining a fair and reasonable price. However, the Government reserves the right to request other than certified cost or pricing data to assist in determining a fair and reasonable price. Failure to provide realistic prices may result in an offer being rated unawardable on the basis that unrealistically low prices are an indication that the Offeror does not understand the requirements. The Government reserves the right to evaluated for unbalanced pricing. The presence of unbalanced pricing introduces risk to successful performance. If unbalanced pricing is present in an offer, the Government may reject the offer if the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

The Government intends to award a single contract resulting from this solicitation to the technically acceptable – lowest priced, responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government.
