Evaluation Criteria

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:

A. Basis for Contract Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor

whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, considering the factors listed in this

provision.

B. Evaluation Factors: The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Price: At minimum; the vendor must provide pricing in accordance with the instructions outlined in 52.212-1. The vendor that

provides the lowest price that can be determined both "fair and reasonable" and "realistic" by the Contracting Officer may be given

additional consideration for awardee selection. However the Government is under no obligation to do so.

During the evaluation process the Contracting Officer will determine a "Total Evaluated Price" (TEP) for each responsive quote. The

term "Fair and Reasonable" for the purposes of this evaluation can be defined as the price that is deemed too high when conducting

evaluation of the proposed price in accordance with FAR 13.106-3, Award and Documentation.

The term "Realistic" for the purposes of this evaluation can be defined as a too low price that reflects a lack of understanding of the

contract requirements, or an undue risk inherent in the vendors approach.

2. Technical Capability: at minimum; the vendor must provide a facility upgrade schedule that demonstrates their intended approach

to complete all works outlined in Attachment 0001 - Statement of Work. Substantial benefits to the Government, as determined by

the Government evaluation team, specifically in relation to the technical capability factor may be given additional consideration for

awardee selection. However, the Government is under no obligation to do so.

C. A written notice of award, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance outlined in

52.212-1 shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quotes specified expiration time, the

Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are exchanges after its receipt, unless a written notice of

withdrawal is received before award.
