(End of addendum) Addendum FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation– Commercial Products and Commercial Services: FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation- Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (2026-02 DEVIATION) Paragraph (a); Evaluation factors: 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 will be used to evaluate offers: i. Price ii. Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) IAW DFARS 252.204-7024 This evaluation will be conducted as Firm Fixed Price, where Past Performance is approximately equal to Price. Additionally, offerors are required to provide the following: Paragraph (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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the government to exercise the option(s). Paragraph (c); Notice of award: A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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 unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. Note: The vendor acknowledges that should the quote terms and conditions and/or agreement conflict with mandatory provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other Federal law applicable to commercial acquisitions, to the extent of such conflict the FAR and Federal law govern and conflicting vendor terms and conditions and/or agreement are unenforceable and are not considered incorporated into any resultant contract. Basis for contract award: The government will make a Firm-Fixed-Price award to the responsible contractor that conforms to requirements of the solicitation and provides the best value to the government considering price and past performance as indicated in the below evaluation steps. The government reserves the right to award to other than that lowest priced quote. Price Evaluation: The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price. The government will evaluate prices submitted on RFQ Attachment 3 - Pricing Schedule. The government will evaluate for unbalanced pricing. Next, the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be calculated by adding the Total Amount per Period (Base and Option Years 1-4) and half of Option Year 4 (calculating the Extension of Services IAW FAR 52.217-8). NOTE: Failure to propose prices for all CLINs will render the quote incomplete and potentially removed from further consideration. Offerors should propose the best pricing to the government for each item in arriving at the most competitive price. Price information submitted in each offeror’s quote, as required by the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items, will be evaluated to determine if proposed prices are fair and reasonable IAW FAR 12.204(a). Unbalanced pricing may pose an unacceptable risk to the government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s quote. Evaluation Steps: Step 1: The government will review all quotes for compliance. A compliant quote consists of a quote that meets the government’s requirements identified in Addendum to 52.212-1. Step 2: Rank all acceptable quotes based upon offeror’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) from lowest TEP to highest TEP. Step 3: Evaluate lowest price offeror’s past performance. If the lowest priced offer is evaluated to have a “Substantial” performance confidence assessment, and is determined to be responsible, that offer represents the best value for the government, and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other quotes. Step 4: In the event the government does not make an award pursuant to Step 3 above, the government will evaluate the next lowest price offer and the process will continue (in order of price) until a quote is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance confidence assessment rating or until all offerors are evaluated. An integrated best value award decision will be made considering price and past performance confidence and the government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced offeror. Discussions: The government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Assumptions, Conditions & Exceptions: Any exception to the solicitation may render a quote unacceptable. If your company takes exception to any of the requirements of the PWS or terms/conditions, they must be clearly identified in your quote. These will be reviewed for potential impact on your ability to successfully meet the government’s requirements. Any assumptions, conditions or exceptions which may negatively impact successful performance of this requirement could render the quote ineligible for award. (End of addendum)
