(End of provision) *** Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 ***

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. Basis for Award

1.1. It is the Government’s intent to award a firm-fixed price contract. The award will be based on the Government’s evaluation of the offeror’s proposal considering the evaluation of Technical, Past Performance and Price factors. The offeror must satisfy the requirements described in the evaluation criteria, as well as all other RFP requirements.

1.2. Per FAR 9.103, the contract will be placed only with an offeror that the PCO determines to be responsible, that is, those who can satisfactorily perform the necessary tasks and deliver the required services on time.

Prospective offeror, in order to qualify as sources for this acquisition, must be able to demonstrate that they meet standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. In addition, the Government may assess the offeror’s financial ability to meet the solicitation requirements. The Government reserves the right to conduct a Pre-Award Survey on any offeror (or their Significant Subcontractors) to aid the PCO in the evaluation of each offeror's proposal and ensure that a selected offeror is responsible. No award can be made to an offeror who has been determined to be not responsible by the Contracting Officer.

2. Evaluation Factors

2.1. The Government will assess the offeror’s proposal on three (3) factors: (1) Technical Capability, (2) Past

Performance, (3) Total Cost/Price. The Technical Capability Factor is further divided into Sub-factors as described below.

3. Evaluation of Technical Capability

3.1 Element 1 – Technical Approach: The offeror’s approach to delivering the required services will be evaluated for the likelihood that it will lead to the successful accomplishment of the tasks contained in the PWS.

4. Evaluation of Past Performance

4.1. The Past Performance Factor will evaluate the risk and likelihood that, based on the extent of recent/relevant performance, the offeror will timely and successfully perform to the standards in the PWS.

4.2. In assessing the relevance of previous performance to the RFP PWS requirements, the Government will consider the degree to which the offeror’s historical performance under other projects proposed or identified though sources available to the Government are similar to the performance approaches to be employed in the scope contained in this RFP and the quality of that performance.

4.3. The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) record of performance as it relates to all RFP requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. Major subcontractors are defined as members of an offeror’s overall team who are expected to perform ten (10) percent or more of the proposed effort. The past performance of major contractors will be considered based on the proposed role of that subcontractor in performance of the requirements as well as the specifics of their role in the effort considered for evaluation of past performance. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. The absence of any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned an “unknown confidence rating” and its’ proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably in regards to past performance. The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services. The Government will only review past performance information or other proposed past performance information that has occurred within three (3) years of the closing date of this RFP.

4.4…
