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 conforming to the solicitation 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 TEP 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 5.1.1 will be considered nonresponsive. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Price:

1.1. Government will rank offers received by lowest TEP and will then determine Technical Acceptability of each offer. If the Government receives three (3) offers 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 offers to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. If any of the three lowest priced offers are deemed Technically Unacceptable, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional offers for technical acceptability if it is determined to be in the Government’s best interest.

1.2. Price will be evaluated using the TEP, which is defined as the combined total of the base period, four additional one-year periods, and a six-month extension period. 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 TEP must be determined fair and reasonable.

1.3. Unbalanced pricing. Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one (1) or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. The Government shall analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or sub-line items. An offer that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

1.4. FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, has been included. In order to evaluate the price for this extension, the Government will use one half of the total price of the third year.

1.5. 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.

2. Non-price Factor/Technical Evaluation:

2.1. Past Experience:

2.1.1. The Government shall evaluate past experience provided IAW 5.1.3.2. Past experience will receive a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. If all required past experience is not provided, offer will be considered nonresponsive to this solicitation and will not be eligible for award.

2.1.2. To determine technical acceptability, the Government will evaluate past experience only. No other non-price factors will be evaluated or considered to determine overall technical acceptability.
