SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

BASIS OF AWARD- EVALUATION

I. Basis for Contract Award – Evaluation of Quotations-Simplified Acquisition Procedures

(a) In accordance with FAR 13.106, the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes comparatively without priced tradeoffs:

(i) Technical -Risk

(ii) Past Performance

(iii) Price

(b) 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. This includes options under FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, if included in this solicitation. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier’s quotation does not establish a contract. A written notice of award or purchase order, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.

II. Quote Evaluation: The evaluation process will be accomplished as follows (Organized by Volume):

A. General: We will award a contract to the responsible quoter who represents the best value to the

Government on the basis of comparison of its (1) quote.

B. Volume I, Quote

1. General: We will determine the merits of your quote on the basis of (a) its acceptability and (b) its quoted price.

(a) Acceptability: We will determine the acceptability of your quote on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. We will consider your quote acceptable if it (i) conforms to the material solicitation requirements; (ii) manifests your unconditional assent to the terms of this Request for Quote (RFQ), and (iii) you are a responsible prospective contractor pursuant to FAR 9.104-1. (NOTE: By submission of a quote, the quoter represents that it unconditionally assents to the terms of this Request for Quote, except for any written express exceptions.)

• Conformance. Material solicitation requirements include those terms affecting quality, quantity, price, or delivery.

• Assent. If you (1) take exception to any term of this RFQ, (2) propose any additional terms, or (3) omit material information required by this RFQ then we will consider your quote to be unacceptable and ineligible for contract award.

(b) Price: We will evaluate your price for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a).

C. Volume II, Technical Factor

1. General: The technical factor assessment will assess the prime’s (hereafter referred to as quoter’s) ability to successfully accomplish the effort based on the quoter’s demonstrated technical approach. The Government will evaluate the quoter’s demonstrated technical approach in supplying products and/or services that meet users’ needs.

Technical approach simply means the method of fulfilling the government’s requirement and will be assessed based on direct comparisons of proposals--without objective standards--pursuant to FAR 13.106-2(b)(3).

Volume II, Past Performance

1. General: The past performance assessment will assess the prime’s (hereafter referred to as quoter’s) ability to successfully accomplish the effort based on the quoter’s demonstrated present and past work record. The

Government may evaluate the quoter’s demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and services that meet users’ needs, including cost and schedule. The recency and relevancy of the information, the source of the information, context of the data and general trends in the contractor’s performance may be considered.

First, we may evaluate recency. For purposes of this evaluation, recency is defined as demonstrated experience

(active or completed efforts) performed within the past three (3) years from the issuance date of this solicitation. Second, we may evaluate recent contracts for relevancy as described below (see Table 1). Third, we may evaluate recent and relevant contracts for overall quality (see Table 2).

The evaluation of the quoter’s (including partnerships and joint venture) present/past performance WILL NOT include the present/past performance of any subcontractors, predecessor companies, affiliates, other divisions or corporate management even though they may perform major or critical aspects of this requirement. Only the quoter's (includes partnerships and joint ventures) past performance will be evaluated.

2. Past Performance Assessment: Present and Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which you have satisfied your customers in the past and complied with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Your past performance is relevant to this competition when you have done recent work that has confronted you with the same kinds of challenges that you would reasonable expect to encounter during performance of the contract described by the RFQ. We will assess your past performance on the basis of recency, relevancy, and quality

(general trends in contractor performance and source of information). Past performance information may be obtained from any sources available to the Government.

3. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings:

a) As a result of the recency and relevancy assessments of current and prior contracts, a relevancy rating described below may be assigned within the past performance evaluation.

Table 1

Adjectival Rating Description

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar 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.

Scope = Type of Work, Functions, Skill Mix and/or Labor Classifications, etc.

Magnitude of effort = Dollar Value and Period of Performance

Complexities = Contract Type (e.g., Indefinite Delivery Contract, Firm-Fixed-Price, FAR-based, Other

Government Transaction, UCC), Location (on-base, off-base, geographical), Terms and Conditions (e.g., private, Federal, DoD, Army, National Guard Bureau), etc.

Table 2

(End of Addenda)

(End of Summary of Changes)

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
