Amendment / Modification

This document is an addendum to FAR provision 52.212-2, "Evaluation Factors for Award." It clarifies and modifies the evaluation criteria for this solicitation.

• Evaluation Factors: The evaluation will consider Past Performance, Technical Capability (pass/fail), and Price. Past Performance is stated to be significantly more important than Price.
• Options Evaluation: The total price of all options, including a six-month Extension of Services, will be added to the basic requirement's price for evaluation purposes. The government may deem offers with significantly unbalanced option prices as unacceptable.
• Basis for Award: This is a competitive best value source selection. Offerors agree to all solicitation requirements by submitting an offer. Exceptions must be explicitly identified with rationale, or the proposal may be deemed unacceptable.
• Evaluation Process:
  • Price Evaluation: Offerors will be ranked by price. Prices will be evaluated for reasonableness, realism, and balance. A formula is provided for calculating the "Total Evaluated Price" per item and overall.
  • Technical Evaluation: Up to seven of the lowest priced offerors will undergo a technical evaluation on a pass/fail basis, rated as "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable." Only technically acceptable proposals will be considered for award. All acceptable technical proposals are considered equal.
• Sub-Factors for Technical Evaluation:
  • Program Management (Management Organization, Subcontract Management, Contractor Coefficient Development)
  • Project Planning and Execution (Project Development and Minimal Design, Performance Period Management)
  • Sample Project (35% level of design, detailed written scope, detailed price proposal - note: sample project price is not factored into overall price evaluation).
• Performance Confidence Assessment: This assessment will be conducted on technically acceptable offerors based on recent and relevant past performance information. Ratings include Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Neutral Confidence, Limited Confidence, and No Confidence. "Very Relevant" past performance is given greater consideration.

Offerors must carefully review these evaluation factors and ensure their proposals address all aspects, particularly past performance and technical requirements. The detailed price calculation method and the pass/fail technical evaluation are critical for determining award eligibility and ranking.
