After receipt of quotes the Government may, with or without notice, negotiate with and, if desired, seek quote revisions from as many or as few quoters as it, in its discretion, deems appropriate. The term “offeror” or “offer” as used in FAR 52.212-1 shall be understood to mean “quoter” and “quote,” respectively. Further, the term “award” shall be understood to describe the Government’s issuance of an order. The Government will consider all quotes that are timely received and may not consider late quotes. Failure of a quote to address any items required in the submission package may make a quote unacceptable and ineligible for award. Paragraph (b) of FAR Provision 52.212-1, Submission of Offers, is amended as follows: ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-1 Technical Quote shall include a description of materials/equipment which includes specifications, pictures and part numbers for items in the vendor’s proposed solution to which it intends to satisfy the results/objectives specified in the Statement of Work (SOW) and the following: A Proposed design for the FF&E that clearly shows the understanding of the requirements IAW the SOW. A Schedule detailing its delivery and installation plan IAW the SOW - within 120 days after contract award. Resumes of qualified personnel IAW Section 3.1 of the SOW.

Offers/Quotes must include completed copy of provision at FAR 52.212-3 (Offeror Representations and Certifications- Commercial Items) (Dec 2022) or indication that offeror representations and certifications are in System for Award Management (SAM).. (End of provision) EVALUATION: ADDENDUM TO FAR 52-212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Nov 2021) Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following: The Government will award a contract resulting from the solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The technical capability is significantly more important than price. The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Government the greatest confidence that it will best meet or exceed the requirements affordably in a way that will be advantageous to the Government. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Government reasonably determines that the technical superiority and/or overall business approach of the higher priced offeror outweighs the cost difference. While the Government will strive for a maximum objectivity, this best value process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgement is implicit throughout the selection process. (a) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY - The Government will evaluate the vendor’s Technical Quote to determine whether the proposed solution provides a clear understanding of the Statement of Work and the solution accomplishes/satisfies the desired results/objectives of the Statement of Work. Technical data/documents as required and documents listed above (52.212-1) shall be evaluated. The Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) will be retrieved and evaluated for each offeror. Technical acceptability will be determined using the following Adjectival Ratings: OUTSTANDING- Proposal indicated an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths. GOOD- Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength. ACCEPTABLE- Proposal indicated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirement. MARGINAL- Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. UNACCEPTABLE- Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable. All quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability and will be given an adjectival rating. The Government intends to make an award to the Offeror who demonstrates the highest confidence in meeting or exceeding the requirements in a cost-effective manner, and in a way that provides the best value to the Government. This may include, but is not limited to, the evaluation of the Offeror's proposed furnishing layout that maximizes efficiency and the material quality/composition of the offered products/services. This objective may result in the selection of a higher-rated, higher-priced Offeror, provided that such decision aligns with the established evaluation factors and the Government reasonably concludes that the higher-priced Offeror's technical superiority and/or overall business strategy justifies the cost differential. While the Government will endeavor to maintain the utmost objectivity, it is acknowledged that the best value determination process may inherently involve subjective considerations. Consequently, the exercise of professional judgement will be an integral component of the selection process. 2. PRICE - 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 form the offeror to the extent required to determine the reasonableness of the offered prices. A price is considered 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. The Government must determine the offeror’s price fair and reasonable to be eligible for award. (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. 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)
