Addendum to Evaluation - Commercial Product and Commercial Services

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

. BASIS FOR AWARD

a. This acquisition will be conducted in accordance with procedures in FAR Part 12, FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items and as supplemented by agency.

The source selection process is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process.

Award will be made to the lowest priced offer that meets or exceeds all the minimum mandatory criteria in the solicitation.

Factors to be evaluated, noted below. Award will be on an "all or none" basis. Offerors are put on notice that:

(1) The non-price factors will be evaluated on an "acceptable/unacceptable" basis

(2) The non-price factors are evaluated for acceptability and NOT ranked

(3) Offers are NOT compared to each other

(4) Tradeoffs are NOT permitted

(5) The offerors must provide all required information or the offer will not be considered

(6) In order to be eligible for an award, an offer shall be rated " ACCEPTABLE" on all non-price factors

II. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

a. The evaluation factors for this solicitation are:

FACTOR I - TECHNICAL - CERTIFICATIONS

Rating Description Acceptable The Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable The Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation Acceptable: The quote meets the minimum requirement of the solicitation if it provided all of the below Certifications.

- UNI EN ISO IEC 17025-2005 "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories"

- UNI EN ISO 9001-2015 "Quality Management Systems"

- ISO EN 14001-2015 "Laboratory Services related Sampling and Analysis Requirements"

- The quoter shall demonstrate to be certified in accordance with ACCREDIA credit registration as follows:

POTABLE WATER more than 70% of all parameters to be analyzed WASTE WATER more than 70% of all parameters to be analyzed WASTE MATERIALS more than 50% of all parameters to be analyzed Unacceptable: The quote does not meet the minimum requirement of the solicitation if it does not provide all of the above certifications.

FACTOR II - PRICE

Each Quote will be evaluated for price reasonableness, completeness, and total evaluated price (TEP).

i. The price structure will consist of quantity multiplied by unit price equaling total line item cost. The Quote price will be evaluated separately from the non-price factors. An assessment of the reasonableness of each proposed price will be made. The Contracting Officer will perform a price analysis of each quote found to be acceptable. Quoters are required to price the base period and the option periods. Quoters shall not submit a price for the potential six (6) months extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods), utilizing the rates of the performance period. The price analysis is the process of examining and evaluating a proposed price to determine if it is fair and reasonable without evaluating its separate cost elements and proposed profit. The Contracting Officer may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. The Government will assess price reasonableness and balance by using one or more of the techniques and procedures described under FAR 13.106-3, Award and Documentation. Generally, adequate price competition will satisfy the criteria of price reasonableness. The Government will review the pricing submissions for completeness and compliance with FAR 52.212-1 and its addendum. Incomplete price submissions may not be evaluated and the proposal may be eliminated from the competition.

ii. For purposes of evaluating the total quoted price, the Contracting Officer will add the total line item costs for CLINs 0001 through 4022 in Euros or US Dollars (in accordance with the currency indicated in the quote), plus the total value of the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8, to derive the total evaluated price. For the purposes of calculating the total price under FAR 52.217-8, the Contracting Officer will use one half of the sum of the total quoted prices for CLINs for the final contract year (either the base year or last option period as applicable).

iii. Total Evaluation Price. The total prices indicated at CLIN 0001 through 4022 will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness and for unbalanced pricing. Unrealistic, unbalanced or unreasonable pricing may cause a proposal to be determined unacceptable. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

Discussions MAY be conducted but are not required. The Government intends to make award based on the initial Quote submissions, without conducting discussions. Therefore, each offer should contain the Quoter's best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

If during any part of the best value selection it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions with Quoters to address any issues including technical and price (if necessary). Responses to discussions will be considered in making the most advantageous selection.
