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, price and other factors considered. Award will be made to the offeror with the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA). 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: Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable.
1.1.1 The lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability first. The Government will evaluate quotes for acceptability but will not rank the quotes by non-price factors. If the Government receives fewer than three (3) quotes, 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 priced quotes to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if it is in the Government’s best interest to do so.
1.1.2 Price will be evaluated using the total evaluated price (TEP) on the bottom-line price for the entire effort, inclusive of all options. 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. Prices 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 Past Experience
2.1.2.1 The Government shall evaluate the past experience submitted IAW FAR 52.212-1 5.1.4. Past experience will receive a rating of “Acceptable” if they meet the requirements or they will receive a rating of “Unacceptable.” If there is no past experience provided, the offeror will receive a rating of “Incomplete”.
