ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2, EVALUATION OF OFFERS

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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Total Evaluated Price

(a) Price analysis will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the Offer's price quote. Reasonableness will be based on the total evaluated price. The total evaluated price will be calculated as the sum of the Estimated Total Price for all the Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) along with the 6-month extension allowable under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend.

(b) The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Analysis of the cost/price quote will be performed using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 13.106-3(a) in order to determine price reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques.

Past Performance

The offerors past performance will be evaluated utilizing the CO's knowledge of and previous experience with the services being acquired, contacting the past performance POCs listed in the offerors quote, and any other reasonable basis needed to determine past performance. Past performance will be rated as either acceptable or unacceptable.

Technical Evaluation

The offerors technical evaluation of the service plan will reviewed by the requirement owner for sufficiency and be rated as either acceptable or unacceptable.

Award will be made to the offer whose submission represents the best value to the government.

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 award.
