The provision at FAR 52.212-1, INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS -- COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021), applies to this acquisition with the following addendum: FAR 52.204-7, System for Award Management (OCT 2018); FAR 52.204-16, Commercial and Government Entity Code Reporting (AUG 2020); FAR 52.216-1, Type of Contract (APR 1984): The government anticipates the awarding of a single firm-fixed price definitized contract to fulfill this requirement. The provision at FAR 52.212-2, EVALUATION -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014), applies to this acquisition. (a) 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, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Contract award will be made based on the solicitation response that represents the best value to the Government using a Contracting Officer s Comparative Analysis. Since the Contracting Officer is considering price and other factors, the CO may award to other than the lowest-priced offer. The information below explains the evaluation approach: The Contracting Officer will make a comparative analysis of all offers against the solicitation, using the following factors to decide which offer(s) represent the best value to the Government: Factor 1: Technical Ability The offer shall be evaluated on the conformance to the requirements listed in the Statement of Work. The offeror shall submit a technical narrative, that describes the means and methods of successfully performing all work detailed in the SOW, to include the personnel being proposed to perform the work. Any training certifications for the repair of said equipment should be provided with quote. Factor 2: Past Performance Offeror shall provide no more than three references of relatively the same size and complexity. Include the following information for each contract: Name and address of contracting activity (company name), contract number, type of contract, total contract amount, and status, date of award and completion, description and location of contract work, list of major subcontractors if any, Contracting Officer or individual responsible for signing the contract, and their telephone and fax number, and the COR s/Administrator s name, telephone and fax numbers. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the offeror s corrective action. Searches in CPARS (Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System), as well as Past Performance Questionnaires may be utilized. Factor 3: Price Offerors shall provide one copy of the fully completed Price Schedule in the format listed above. Proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Comparative analysis will be utilized to evaluate quotations. (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) A completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021) shall be submitted with the offer. The clause at FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Products and Services (NOV 2021), applies to this acquisition, with the following addendum: FAR 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel (JAN 2011); FAR 52.204-13, System for Award Management Maintenance (OCT 2018); FAR 52.204-18, Commercial and Government Entity Code Maintenance (AUG 2020); FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services (NOV 1999) The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within fifteen (15) days of the expiration date of the current contract period. For the purposes of the award of this Contract, the Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 as follows: The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time, and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract.  The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised.  The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all quotes relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of quotes based on price, unless, after reviewing the quotes, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise.  This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8. The `specified' rates under this clause will be those rates in effect under the contract each time an option is exercised under this clause. (End of clause) FAR 52.217-9 Option to Extend The Term Of The Contract (MAR 2000) (a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days; provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension. (b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause. (c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed five (5) years. (End of Clause) FAR 52.223-6 Drug-Free Workplace (MAY 2001); FAR 52.223-99 Ensuring Adequate Covid-19 Safety Protocols For Federal Contractors (DEVIATION) FAR 52.228-5 Insurance Work On A Government Installation (JAN 1997); CL 120 - Supplemental Insurance Requirements: In accordance with FAR 28.307-2 and FAR 52.228-5, the following minimum coverage shall apply to this contract: (a) Workers' compensation and employers liability: Contractors are required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers' compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer's liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a Contractor's commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer's liability coverage of at least $100,000 is required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit workers' compensation to be written by private carriers. (b) General Liability: $500,000.00 per occurrences. (c) Automobile liability: $200,000.00 per person; $500,000.00 per occurrence and $20,000.00 property damage. (d) The successful bidder must present to the Contracting Officer, prior to award, evidence of general liability insurance without any exclusionary clauses for asbestos that would void the general liability coverage. (End of Clause) 52.232-19  Availability Of Funds For The Next Fiscal Year  (APR 1984) Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract beyond SEPTEMBER 30TH OF ANY FISCAL YEAR. The Government s obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise for performance under this contract beyond SEPTEMBER 30TH OF ANY FISCAL YEAR, until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for performance and until the Contractor receives notice of availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer.
