The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (1) TECHNICAL (2) PRICE The Technical factor is acceptable/unacceptable. (b) Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all years, to include the six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, to arrive at the total evaluated price. The government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the annual prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of the FAR 52.217-8 option shall not obligate the government to exercise the option. (c) 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 whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive, Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) simplified acquisition procedure selection process in accordance with FAR 13.106-2.

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to all required terms and conditions, includes all required representations and certifications, meets all requirements set forth in the solicitation and also provides the best value to the Government based on the results of the evaluation as described herein. Unbalanced, inaccurate, or incomplete price quotes may be grounds for eliminating a quote from competition. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without interchanges or exchanges with offerors; however, the Government may conduct Interchanges or exchanges with one, some, none or all Vendors at its discretion. Therefore, offerors' initial quote should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: A. Price Evaluation. Initially offerors shall be ranked from lowest to highest according to the TEP. TEP is the total price of all CLINs including the 6 month option to extend services. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the totals for CLINs 0001 - 4002 for the total price for the basic requirement and then add 50% of the proposed value for CLINs 4001 - 4002 for the evaluation of the 6 month extension option. Over and Above CLINs 0003, 1003, 2003, 3003, and 4003 will not be included in the evaluation. All CLIN prices will be evaluated for fair market price, specifically reasonableness and balance. Any offeror with CLIN prices found to be unreasonable or unbalanced may not be considered for award. B. Technical. Next, the Government will evaluate the technical proposal, on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, submitted by the lowest TEP ranked offeror found to have reasonable and balanced CLIN prices. 1. The offeror's documentation exhibiting that it has the requisite experience, licenses, and or certification to meet the requirements in the PWS will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. 2. The offeror's subcontracting commitment document will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. Proposals subcontracting an excessive amount of the total contract value may not be considered for award. 3. The Government will use the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and may use other performance history to evaluate suppliers' past performance as Acceptable or Unacceptable. If the lowest priced offeror is deemed unacceptable in any area, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated for technical acceptability. C. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information - and in the format specified in 52.212-1 - Instructions to Offerors. Offeror's may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote. The contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for quote revision. D. The government anticipates adequate price competition and intends to award a contract without interchanges or exchanges with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges or exchanges with one, some or all offerors if deemed in its best interest. (End of provision) x.
