The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: See Addendum to 52.212-2 (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (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. (End of provision) ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 Paragraph (a) is hereby supplemented with the following: Contract Evaluation and Award: Basis of Award - This solicitation will use lowest price technical evaluation procedures to make a best value award decision. Award will be made to the responsible schedule holder that provides the lowest price, technically acceptable offer and has an acceptable record of past performance. It is anticipated that the award will result in a firm fixed price contract. Except for communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification, the Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Evaluation Factors. The following factors will be evaluated: Technical Capability - Factor 1. Technical Capability reflects the Government's confidence in each offeror's ability, as demonstrated in its offer, to provide the requirements as stated in this solicitation. The Government will evaluate whether the offeror has demonstrated that its proposed equipment and services satisfies the requirements stated in Attachment 1 and Attachment 2. The following adjectival ratings will be used in evaluating each offeror's technical offer. TECHNICAL EVALUATION RATINGDESCRIPTION AcceptableOffer clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation. UnacceptableOffer does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation. Note: Any offeror receiving a rating of "Unacceptable" for Technical Capability will no longer be considered for award. Past Performance - Factor 2. The past performance evaluation results is an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements as identified in Quotation Submission, Section 2, Past Performance- Factor 2. This assessment is based on the offeror's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting present and past performance evaluations, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's offer, any other source available to the Government and data obtained from other sources to include, but not limited, to data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. After the Government has evaluated Offerors' past performance for recency and relevancy, the Government will evaluate Quality of Performance (how well the contractor has performed on contracts). The Government will assign an Unknown /Neutral rating, meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably, to Offerors with no recent/relevant past performance record or the offeror's performance record is not available or the information is inadequate such that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. In this context: •"Recency" - To be recent, some portion of the performance effort must have occurred within 3 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. •"Relevancy" - Relevant performance includes products or services that are the same or similar in scope, magnitude and complexity to the effort described in the solicitation. Products or services which are similar in size, scope magnitude and complexity include those products or services that are sold to Federal, State, or Local governments as well as private commercial firms. The following ratings will be used in evaluating each offeror's past performance. PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RATINGDESCRIPTION AcceptableBased 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.) UnacceptableBased 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: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have "unknown" past performance. In the context acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." Price - Factor 3. Offeror's proposed price will be evaluated for reasonableness and verified to confirm that it does not exceed offeror's established Federal Supply Schedule pricing and any discounts offered.
