THE FOLLOWING CHANGES ARE MADE TO ADDENDUM TO
FAR 52.212-2 - EVALUATION, PARAGRAPH (d) (2) (i) IS HEREBY REPLACED AS
FOLLOWS:

(i) Past Performance Evaluation:
a. The Government anticipates awarding contract(s) resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. This process allows for a tradeoff between non-cost factors and cost/price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated proposal to achieve a best-value contract award. Past Performance will be evaluated utilizing the Automated Best Value System (ABVS). If the Offeror chooses to submit additional past performance information in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(b)(10), the Government will take such information into account in assessing past performance, in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(ii). The source selection authority shall determine the relevance of similar past performance information.

The ABVS is the DLA legacy computerized past performance system that collects a Contractor's existing past performance data and translates it into a numeric score. The Contracting Officer then uses the score when making best value award decisions.
b. DLA assigns an ABVS score to each Contractor based on the Contractor's past performance. Contractors receive scores for performance in each federal supply class (FSC) score. The FSC scores are based on DLA consolidated performance history. A Contractor may have multiple FSC scores but will have only one DLA score, which is a compilation of the Contractor's FSC scores for all business conducted with DLA.
c. The ABVS score is a combination of a vendor's delivery and quality scores; scores range from zero to a perfect score of 100. Scores are calculated daily based upon two years of data. If any information is submitted by the contractor the Contracting Officer will only look at information within a two-year window preceding the closing date of the solicitation..
d. ABVS delivery scores provide quantification of the number and severity of Contractor-caused delinquencies, terminations, cancellations, and withdrawals for products in that FSC (or, if the Contractor has no history for the particular FSC, for all products the Contractor provided to DLA within the time period under consideration).
e. ABVS quality scores reflect the number and type of quality complaints (product and packaging nonconformances) issued against a Contractor for products in that FSC or for all products it provided to DLA, as described above.

f. Data sources for past performance information include:
(1) Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PEDREP);
(2) Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP);
(3) DLA Preaward Contracting System (DPACS).
g. DLA will make negative quality and delivery data reflected in the ABVS score available to Contractors daily for review and challenge. For further details concerning ABVS Score calculations and Contractor data challenge procedures, refer to the ABVS website. www.abvs.dla.mil
h. The Contracting Officer will evaluate Contractors using the ABVS DLA score in effect at the time of evaluation (days after solicitation closing date). . The Contracting Officer may consider the volume of business on which the DLA score is based as a measure of confidence in the score's indication of performance risk and may consider performance in the FSCs of the subject solicitation.
i. The Contracting Officer may collect and analyze other information in addition to ABVS DLA scores including but not limited to Past Performance Information Retrieval System - Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR) classifications, information obtained from Dun and Bradstreet (D&B), information regarding the vendor's commercial contracts or contracts with other federal, state and local government agencies, and relevant information obtained from any independent source.
j. In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), in the case of a Contractor without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Contractor will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably on past performance.

The paragraphs contained on page 8 of the solicitation, Additional Sources of Past Performance and Additions by the Government are changed as follows:

* DLA Automated Best Value System (ABVS) will be utilized in accordance with FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation as cited in this amendment.

* DLA Troop Support reserves the right to utilize Past Performance Information cited on page 8 of this solicitation including, but not limited to Past Performance Information Reporting System (PPIRS) and DLAD 52.215-9003 Use of PPIRS-SR.
