Addended Change Para. (a) To add:The Gov't intends to make a single award to the responsible contractor whose proposal is the Best Value to the Gov't considering the following factors: Technical -- Brand Name or Equal, past performance, and price. Gov't will evaluate how well the offerors technical and logistic approach supports the needs and objectives defined in the statement of work meet and the salient characteristics of the "Brand Name or Equal" item(s). The Gov't will evaluate your proposal, testing, standard commercial warranty, and the method/feasibility of any modifications you propose to your existing modified commercial system. Past Performance: The Gov't will evaluate the offeror's compliance with previous contractual requirements. Actions evaluated will be three years old or less. The Gov't will evaluate in terms of quality, production schedules,financial /performance, supply support and customer input. The Gov't will evaluate the subcontractor use and capabilities to meet the requirements.Price. A weighted average will be used in evaluating the stepladder pricing based on the offeror proposed prices. The Gov't will not be obligated to procure more than the MIN requirement of 5,100. The Gov't's MAX amount is based on the anticipated procurement requirements. Pricing is required to be balanced and the price must be fair and reasonable for the supplies proposed in accordance with FAR 15.8. Propose Lot I and Lot II. Technical is slightly higher than past performance. Price is not weighted but it will not be ignored. The degree of importance of the Price will increase with the degree of the equality of the proposals in relation to the other factors on which selection is based.
