FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:

The Government will assess the offeror’s quote on two (2) factors: (1) Price and (2) Technical Capability. 

The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer and reject any and all offers. The basis of award will be a conforming quote that represents the best value to the Government.

As stated in FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to make an award without conducting discussions.

Evaluation Factor 1 – Price

1.1. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3. Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable and complete.

1.2. Reasonableness. The Government will evaluate the price reasonableness of the offerors' proposed prices to ensure that in its nature and amount, it does not exceed what would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government shall employ price analysis techniques in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 to determine that a proposed price is fair and reasonable.

1.3. Completeness. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with offerors, but discussions are not anticipated or intended. Since discussions are not anticipated or intended, the Government requires complete proposals with respect to price. A complete proposal will include all information required by this solicitation.

1.4. Evaluation of Option Pricing. The Government will evaluate option pricing in accordance with 52.212-2(b). Additionally, as part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period prices to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, and 1/2 of the 4th option. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8 or FAR 52.217-9. The total sum of the base period and all option periods will represent the Total Evaluated Price. The Total Evaluated Price must be determined as fair and reasonable by the KO prior to award.

Evaluation Factor 2 - Technical Capability

2.1. The evaluation of the Technical Capability will assess the offeror's proposed approach and understanding of the requirements.  While the offeror is required to meet all sections of the PWS, the following paragraphs will specifically be evaluated to determine whether the offeror is capable of providing the needed services:

2.1.1 Paragraphs 1.4.1, 5.3.1, 5.4, 5.4.2, 5.5, 5.5.1-3, 5.6, 5.7, 5.7.1-4, 5.8, and 5.17.3. 

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 Government may award without discussions; however, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in the Government's best interest. Quotes will be evaluated on Total Evaluated Price, offeror's ability to meet the PWS requirements, and past performance based on a review of FAPIIS and SPRS. Award will be based on the offer that represents the best value to the Government.

The Government will evaluate option pricing in accordance with 52.212-2(b). Additionally, as part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period prices to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, and 1/2 of the 4th option. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8 or FAR 52.217-9. The total sum of the base period and all option periods will represent the Total Evaluated Price. The Total Evaluated Price must be determined as fair and reasonable by the KO prior to award.

NOTE: The Government will perform a comparative evaluation (comparing quotes to each other) to select the contractor that is best suited and provides the best value, considering the evaluation factors in this solicitation. No adjectival ratings will be assigned to the evaluation factors. The award will be based on price and other factors as listed above. The lowest priced offer may not necessarily represent the best value to the Government.
