ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

Paragraph (a) is hereby supplemented with the following:

Contract Evaluation and Award:

Basis of Award –

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The Government will accept the offer that offers the lowest price and is technically acceptable. An offer that is technically acceptable conforms to all aspects of the solicitation and contains sufficient information to show the

Offeror can meet or exceed the requirements listed in the Performance Work Statement.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

Award will be made to the responsible Offeror that provides the lowest price and a technically acceptable offer.

Except for communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification, the Government intends to evaluate offers and award a firm fixed price contract without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the

Offeror's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

Factor 1 – Technical Capability Approach and Quality Control Plan

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

Unacceptable.

Factor 2 – Past Performance

Offeror is required to submit information on a single page identifying federal, state, local Government and private contracts performed within the past three years (from the date this solicitation is issued) which are similar in scope and complexity to the effort described in this solicitation. If none, offeror should so state and provide information on references. Information provided by the Contractor shall state the type of service provided with information to verify references: Names; telephone and fax numbers; Points of Contact; amount of contract; and email addresses.

Past performance shall be used as an evaluation factor within the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process. However, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a) (2) (i) does not apply.
