ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1

Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items

As the Government is currently operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR) until 28 April 2017, this solicitation is issued subject to the availability of appropriated funding. Funds are not presently available for this contract. The Government’s obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer.

1.0 General Instructions

The offeror’s proposal shall be submitted electronically by the date and time for receipt of offers indicated in the solicitation. These instructions prescribe the format for the proposal and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the requested information.

The offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by these instructions and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Non-conformance with these instructions may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the contractor’s experience matches these requirements.

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 proposal.

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

The offeror shall make a clear statement in Volume I that the proposal is valid for 90 days from submission.

Accordingly, Offerors are encouraged to carefully review all solicitation requirements and submit questions to the Government early in the proposal cycle.

2.3 Discrepancies

If a offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the Government to consider as related to the omission or error.

Communications for the purpose of clarification or past performance information do not constitute discussions.

2.4.3 If discussions are held, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. If the offeror’s proposal was initially evaluated as acceptable, any changes or exceptions in the FPR are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror’s proposal could be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.

The narrative should describe the scope of the work contracted and the relevance of that work to the PWS of this RFP.

ii. As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of your final option period prices to the total price.
