(End of provision) ADDENDUM TO FAR Clause 52.212-2. The following addendum is included and hereby made part of FAR Clause 52.212-2. (a) Basis for Award 1. The government will award a contract to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal, conforming to the RFP, will be most advantageous to the Government considering price and technical factors stated in this RFP. Failure to propose a price for all CLINs will render the proposal unacceptable and the proposal will be rejected. 2. Evaluation factors upon which award will be based, are set forth below. (b) Evaluation Approach 1. The Government will evaluate each proposal by employing the lowest price technically acceptable method. The written proposal, in conjunction with the on-site evaluation, will be used to assess evaluation factor ratings. 2. All proposals will be subjected to an initial screening by the Contracting Officer to determine whether proposals are complete before being evaluated as detailed below. Proposals that are considered substantively incomplete after initial screening shall be rejected and offerors will be notified they are no longer eligible for further consideration. Offerors are advised that unsupported promises to comply with contractual requirements will not be sufficient. Additionally, a proposal that is unreasonable or incomplete in terms of price will not be considered for award. 3. The Government intends to award without discussions. Offerors shall ensure their initial proposal contains its best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to hold discussions if necessary. Discussions, if any, will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.306 and final offers will be evaluated in the same manner and against the same criteria as were initial offers. (c) Evaluation Factors for Award. Proposals submitted in response to the solicitation will be evaluated based upon the following factors: Price, Past performance, and Mission Capability. The Mission Capability and Past Performance factors are equal in importance and when combined are less important than the Price factor. 1. Mission Capability. Under Mission Capability the following elements will be evaluated: Expert knowledge of JEFTS/ECS2 systems and the timeline for completion of tasks 1-7. These elements will be evaluated together for acceptability in the Mission Capability area. The Mission Capability factor will receive one of the following adjectival ratings: ACCEPTABLE - Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation (See Note below). UNACCEPTABLE - Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. NOTE: Expert knowledge of JFETS/ECS2 systems will be a key factor in the selection consideration process. A proposal receiving an Unacceptable rating in this area will NOT be eligible for award. 2. Past Performance. Under Past Performance the following elements will be evaluated: Experience working in JFETS/ECS2 environment. The Past Performance Factor will receive one of the adjectival ratings: ACCEPTABLE - Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown (See Note below). UNACCEPTABLE - Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. NOTE: No record of past performance will result in an acceptable rating. Offerors shall submit only past performance relevant to the requirements set forth in this solicitation. A proposal receiving an Unacceptable rating in this area will NOT be eligible for award. 3. Price. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness IAW FAR 15.403-1(c)(1). Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal offers the lowest price, technically acceptable proposal. 52.216-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT.
