EVALUATION:

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Nov 2021)

Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following:

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government representing the best value with price and other factors considered. Government has determined that best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable offer with the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP); therefore, Government will evaluate offers based on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA). Award will be made on the basis of the lowest price of offerors meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors. Quotes that do not include all requested information in FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1. will be considered nonresponsive. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers:

Price:
Government will rank offers received by lowest price and will then determine Technical Acceptability of each offer. If the Government receives three (3) quotes or fewer, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. If any of the three lowest priced quotes are deemed Technically Unacceptable, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if it is determined to be in the Government's best interest.

Pricing must meet the requirements/specifications in FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1.2. No additional information from the offeror will be required if the price is based on adequate price competition. In the event adequate price competition does not exist, the contracting officer will obtain information from the offeror to the extent required to determine the reasonableness of the offered prices. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Some of those techniques are, but not limited to, comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and/or comparison of quoted prices with the Independent Government Estimate. To be eligible for award an offeror's price must be determined fair and reasonable.

2.1. Non-Price - Technical Evaluation
2.1.1. Items offered must meet the Government requirement of FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1.3.1. If item does not meet the requirement, the Government will determine the quote unacceptable.
2.1.2. Quotes delivery shall meet the requirement of FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1.3.3. If the delivery/installation number of days after award of contract is not equal to or less than the number of days identified in this solicitation, the Government will determine the quote unacceptable.
