FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services, applies to this acquisition

ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation of Commercial Items

(a) The Government will award contract(s) resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer(s) conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures will be used as the source selection method in this procurement. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical Acceptability - A technically acceptable offer is an offer that takes no exceptions to the terms and conditions in the solicitation and complies fully with all submission requirements. A proposal that takes exception to solicitation terms and conditions or that fails to comply with all submission requirements may be deemed technically unacceptable and, thus, may be found ineligible, and removed from further consideration, for the awards. By submitting a proposal with no exceptions, an offeror is confirming it possesses the necessary facilities, equipment, technical skills and capacity to successfully provide all items required by this solicitation.

2. Pricing - Pricing is required for all items found in the Schedule of Items. Failure to offer pricing for all items may result in a proposal being removed from consideration for award as technically unacceptable. The Government will perform an aggregate price analysis for all items found in the Schedule of Items. To determine an offeror's evaluated aggregate price, the estimated quantities in the Schedule of Items will be multiplied by the unit prices to determine the lowest aggregate price to the Government. Offered prices, on an individual line item basis, will be evaluated to determine fair and reasonableness. The award will be made on the basis of the lowest Evaluated Aggregate Price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors. The Government reserves the right to remove item(s) from the Schedule of Items or do a common item comparison if offerors do not submit pricing for all items. Prior to award, the offered prices of the presumptive awardee(s) will be evaluated on an individual line-item basis to determine whether each price is fair and reasonable using analytical techniques deemed appropriate by the Contracting Officer in her/his complete discretion.

Past Performance will not be used as an evaluation factor for this solicitation because other technical evaluation factors are sufficient to ensure performance for the commercial items being procured. Past performance will be considered in a determination of responsibility for the successful offeror prior to award.

(b) Options are not included in this solicitation.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise 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 (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

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. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

The resultant award will be for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.
