ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

Award will be made using best value Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures.

Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation shall include the following

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY EVALUATION.

Technical Capability reflects the Government’s confidence in each offeror’s ability, as demonstrated in its offer, to provide the requirements as stated in this solicitation. The Government will evaluate whether the offeror has demonstrated that it can meet the minimum requirements in the Performance Work Statement. Offers that do not demonstrate that it can meet the minimum requirements will not be considered further for award. If an offeror does not indicate whether it can meet the minimum requirements, the Government will determine that it cannot.

Technical Capability will be evaluated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. Definitions are as follows:

TECHNICAL EVALUATION

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Note: Any offeror receiving a rating of “Unacceptable” for Technical Capability will no longer be considered for award.

FACTOR 2 3: PRICE:

Price will be evaluated separately from Technical and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonability in terms of the Government’s requirement. Price must be determined to be fair and reasonable. Offerors' price proposals will be evaluated to determine if the price is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 12.209. Pricing will be evaluated using various price analysis techniques and procedures similar to those listed in FAR 15.404-1(b) including, but not limited to, comparison of proposed price received in response to the solicitation with a comparison to the IGE.

52.217-8 Evaluation Criteria - As a part the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half (1/2) of the offerors' final option period prices to the offerors' total contract price for the purpose of evaluation. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential one-half extension of services period. Thus, the offerors' Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will include the total cost of the base period, all applicable option periods (OPYR 1-4) as proposed on the solicitation or most up-to-date amendment and the possible (6) month extension under FAR Clause52.217-8. The TEP will be assessed in accordance with the guidelines in 15.404to determine that the price is fair, reasonable, and balanced.
