EVALUATION:

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52-212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Nov 2021)

Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following:

(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 representing the best value with price and other factors considered. Government has determined that best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest total price; therefore, Government will evaluate offers based on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA). Award will be made on the bases of the lowest total price of offerors meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors. Quotes that do not include all requested information in FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1.1 will be considered nonresponsive. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers:

1.1 Price:

1.1.1 Government will rank offers received by lowest total price and will then determine Technical Acceptability of each offer. If the Government receives three (3) offers or fewer, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest total priced offers to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. If any of the three lowest total priced offers are deemed Technically Unacceptable, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional offers for technical acceptability if it is determined to be in the Government’s best interest.

1.1.2 Price will be evaluated using the total price for the entire effort. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Some of those techniques are, but not limited to, comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and/or comparison of quoted prices with the Independent Government Estimate. To be eligible for award an offeror’s total price must be determined fair and reasonable.

1.1.3. Pricing must meet the requirements/specifications in FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1.2. No additional information from the offeror will be required if the price is based on adequate price competition.  In the event adequate price competition does not exist, the contracting officer will obtain information from the offeror to the extent required to determine the reasonableness of the offered prices.

2.1 Non-price Factor/Technical Evaluation

2.1.1 Past Experience

2.1.1.1 The Government shall evaluate past experience submitted IAW FAR 52.212-1 5.1.3. Past experience will receive a rating of “Technically Acceptable” if they provide at least three contracts/projects within the last three years that show the capability to remove cable, wire category 6 cable from patch panels to communication jacks, install faceplates, patch panel(s), cable management, and terminations of category 6 cable, as either primary contractor or subcontractor responsible for contract performance. Past experience will be rated “Technically Unacceptable” if all of these requirements are not met. If there fewer than three past experiences are submitted, the offeror will be considered “nonresponsive” to this solicitation and will not be eligible for award.

2.1.3 To determine technical acceptability, the Government will evaluate past experience only. No other non-price factors will be evaluated or considered to determine overall technical acceptability.
