Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Insturctions to Offerors - Commercial Items (Apr 2014) QUOTE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS: The Air Force will award a purchase order resulting from this RFQ to the responsible respondent on the basis of an integrated best value determination based on the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors, where a determination of "non-acceptability" for any non-price criteria will render the quote "unacceptable" in totality. A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the quote, the respondents must follow the instructions contained herein. The quote must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this RFQ. Respondents are required to meet all RFQ requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors.

(End of Provision) 9. The provision at FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999) applies to this acquisition. Refer to the attached addendum below: Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (Jan 1999) A. Basic for Award: The Air Force will award one contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible respondent whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Air Force, price and non-price factors considered. The Air Force may award without discussions; however, the Air Force reserves the right to conduct discussions if it determines it's in its best interest. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: I. The award will be made to the responsible respondent meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors as listed below that also represents the lowest evaluated price. Non-price factors (technical sub-factors) will be judged acceptable or unacceptable. Note that the Air Force included in the RFQ a base period and two concurrent options. The Total Evaluated Price is a single base period or (independently) the sum of the two concurrent options. Each will be evaluated independently for lowest price. (e.g. refer below for an example) TEP EXAMPLE Base Period $100 Option Period 1 $45 Option Period 2 $45 Total Options $90 TEP $90 (Award Optional Periods) * NOTE: If both the Base and Option are equal, the Air Force will independently determine whether to award the optional period(s), or the base period. B. PRICE: The Offeror's price quote will be evaluated as follows: I. An Offeror's quoted prices will be evaluated by multiplying the quantities in the price schedule (Attachment 1) line items by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number to confirm the extended amount for each. The price evaluation will document the completeness and reasonableness of the proposed total price for the offers evaluated. Respondents are specifically advised that under this evaluation method, the Air Force may determine an offer unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items. Prices are materially unbalanced if they are significantly overstated or understated in relation to the actual cost of that work. II. The Air Force will use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness; however, the Air Force reserves the right, if it deems appropriate, to make these determinations by means of one or more price analysis techniques. Upon examination of the initial offers, if in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost/price information will be requested. However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition may no longer exists, respondents may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of price. C. TECHNICAL ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA: Technical acceptance will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. One of the following ratings will be assigned: Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the RFQ. Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the RFQ. I. Only quotes rated technically acceptable, either initially or after discussions (if held) with respondents (see FAR 15.305) will be considered for award. II. A quote evaluated as unacceptable in part, will be rated unacceptable in its totality. III. Technical information is limited to ten (10) pages. The two technical evaluation sub-factors are Personnel Certification and Equipment. PART II - TECHNICAL (EVALUATION FACTOR 2) SUB-FACTOR 1: Personnel Certification: The Air Force shall evaluate the respondents certification documents for prospective employees, which validate personnel qualifications conforming with the requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), paragraph 1.3.6. SUB-FACTOR 2: Equipment: The Air Force will evaluate the respondent's plan to obtain and maintain all necessary equipment required to perform the requirements stated in the PWS, paragraph 1.2.4. This plan shall include list of the quantity and equipment type (i.e. busses, etc) which the contractor determines as reasonable equipment inventory sufficient to perform the required school bus services. (End of Provision) 10. The clause 52.222.42 -- Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires (May 2014). In compliance with the Service Contract Labor Standards statute and the regulations of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR part 4), this provision identifies the classes of service employees expected to be employed under the contract and states the wages and fringe benefits payable to each if they were employed by the contracting agency subject to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5341 or 5332.
