The following provisions are incorporated by full-text. 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial, Addendum, applies to this acquisition. (1) FAR 52.212-1, paragraph (b)(8), is changed to read: (8) Offerors must include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items, with its offer. (2) FAR 52.212-1, paragraph (c), is changed to read: (c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers. (3) To be considered for this requirement, the offer must complete the Bid Schedule (see paragraph 4). Fully complete the pricing on each CLIN as required. The contractor shall fill out a unit price, the extended price and a total price for all CLINs. Please ensure that all prices, extended prices and total prices are checked and verified for accuracy. DO NOT go two (2) digits beyond the decimal point. (4) In accordance with FAR Part 9, Contractor Qualifications, past performance information provided will be used to determine whether an offeror has a satisfactory performance record to determine whether the offeror is a responsible contractor eligible for the BPA. An offeror determined to have an unsatisfactory performance record will be determined nonresponsible, therefore, the offeror will not be eligible for the BPA. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government has a right to retrieve additional past performance information through the Government's past performance databases, Federal Awardee Performance Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). (5) Questions and Answers. All questions must be submitted in writing. The deadline for submitting questions and providing answers is Thursday, 31 August 2017, 12:00 p.m. (noon) PST. 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, (Jan 1999) Agreement will be made to the Offeror whose Acceptable Technical Proposal represents the Best Value to the Government. Best Value will be determined by the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable proposal. Offers will be rated by technical acceptability and agreement will be made to the lowest priced offer. (1) The evaluation team will evaluate each offer on its merits and assign one of the following ratings to each offer. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the Solicitation and the Requirements Description. Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the Solicitation and the Requirements Description. Price. The Government shall conduct a price evaluation of all offers. The Government will evaluate an offer by the total price for the CLIN. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair, reasonable and realistic price. Evaluation of prices will determine if they are compatible with the scope of the effort, are not unbalanced and are neither excessive nor insufficient for the effort to be accomplished. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness; however, the Government reserves the right, if it deems appropriate, to make these determinations by means of one or more price analysis techniques. a. Contract(s) may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9.1, whose offer conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this RFQ) and is judged, based on the evaluation to represent the best value offer. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award 1 (one) contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. b. 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 BPA agreement.
