Addendum to 52.212-1(c), Period for Acceptance of Offers. The paragraph is tailored as follows: “The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.”
A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the quote, the offeror must follow the instructions contained herein. The quote must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation.
B. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists offerors may be required to submit information other than cost or pricing data to support a determination of price reasonableness.
C. Specific Instructions: Quotes shall be submitted in two parts:

1. Part I – Price quote with price annotated on the provided pricing sheets; and
2. Part II – Past Performance:

(a) Quality and Satisfaction Rating for Contracts Completed in the past three years: Provide information currently available (letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of completed product for a relevant type contract. In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc.

(b) Past Performance Questionnaires: The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror’s performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this solicitation by utilizing the responses to the past performance questionnaires. NOTE: QUESTIONNAIRES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE RATER. QUESTIONNAIRES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED WHEN SUBMITTED BY THE OFFEROR. Recent past performance is identified as relevant past performance performed within the last three years and relevant past performance is defined as successfully performing preventative maintenance and repair of boiler controls similar to the size and quantity of those listed in this RFQ.

If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past/present performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past and present relevant contracts.

(c) Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide with the quote a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items
BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive best value award decision in which competing offerors’ past performance history will be evaluated on a basis of past performance being more important than price. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

Price Evaluation: The government shall rank all offers by price, including any option prices. An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified by the proposed unit price for each contract line item number (CLIN) to confirm the extended amount for each. Offerors whose total evaluated price is unreasonable in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a) may not be considered for award.

Performance Confidence Assessment: The contracting officer shall seek recent and relevant performance information on all offerors based on (1) questionnaires; (2) the past efforts provided by the offeror and (3) data independently obtained from other government i.e. Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS); Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS); Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and interviews/questionnaires with Program Managers, Contracting Officers and Fee Determining Officials, and commercial sources and commercial sources. The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receive a “Substantial Confidence” performance confidence assessment.

a. Recent past performance is identified as relevant past performance performed within the last three (3) years and relevant past performance is defined as successfully performing preventative maintenance and repair of boiler controls similar to the size and quantity of those listed in this RFQ. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements based on the offeror’s demonstrated past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror.

b. In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFQ.

c. If the lowest priced offer is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance confidence assessment, that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

d. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance confidence assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. The Contracting Officer shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision.

e. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified. Offeror’s may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their offer (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

f. Offerors are responsible for submitting a well-written quote with adequately-detailed information that allows for a meaningful review by the procuring agency. Those offers who do not provide the detailed information risks an unfavorable rating.

The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.

Please note that the General Accountability Office has held that offerors are responsible for submitting a well-written offer with adequately detailed information which clearly demonstrates compliance with the solicitation requirements and allows a meaningful review by the procuring agency.
