The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: I. Price II.

(End of provision) ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014). BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive acquisition in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13. The evaluation process will proceed as follows: I. Price Evaluation. The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will include the proposed unit price multiplied by the quantity for the Contract Line Item Numbers(CLINs) against CLINs 0001 and 0002. The unit price of the offeror' s quote shall control any conflict between the unit price and the extended amount. The price evaluation will document the completeness, balance, and affordability (based on available government budget) of the quoted price. II. Technical Evaluation. Quoters will be evaluated to see if they meet or exceed the salient characteristics of the purchase description (USAFA PD 183, dated 5 September 2014 and USAFA PD 175, dated 9 September 2014) of this requirement on a pass/fail basis. III. Past Performance Evaluation. PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS: The performance assessment process will result in an overall performance rating of "Sufficient Past Performance" or "Limited Past Performance". Offerors with no relevant or recent past or present performance history shall receive the rating "Unknown Past Performance", meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Confidence ratings are defined as follows: SUFFICIENT PAST PERFORMANCE: Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. LIMITED PAST PERFORMANCE: Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. ADVERSE PAST PERFORMANCE: Based on the quoter's recent and relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort. UNKNOWN PAST PERFORMANCE: Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. a. When determining recency, relevancy and assigning a past performance confidence rating, the Government will consider the type of experience, the amount of experience, and the ability of contractor to meet customer needs. b. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be considered as highly as past performance information from the principal quoter. Quoters with no relevant past or present performance history or the quoter's performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Past Performance," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. If the prime contractor has no past performance and is relying on their subcontractor's past performance, the prime contractor will be assessed an "Unknown Past Performance" rating. c. 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 solicitation. d. If the lowest priced evaluated quoter is judged to have a "Sufficient Past Performance" rating and meets all the salient characteristics, that quote represents the best value to the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quotes. e. The government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced quoter if the lowest priced quoter is judged to have a performance confidence assessment other than "Sufficient Past Performance" or when it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. f. Quoters are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in their quote preparation instructions. Quoters may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote 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. FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (May 2014) applies to this acquisition. ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4(c) CHANGES Text in paragraph (c) is deleted and replaced with the following: Changes in terms and conditions of this contract may be made only by written agreement of the parties with the exception of certain changes such as administrative changes including changes in paying office, appropriation data, etc. authorized by the Federal Acquisition Regulation and its supplements that may be made unilaterally by the Contracting Officer (for a complete list of changes that may be made unilaterally, see FAR 43.103(b)) (End of Addendum) ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-4: 1.

USAFA Rapid Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Solicitation # FA7000-25-S-C001
The USAFA Rapid Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) FA7000-25-S-C001 is an umbrella solicitation designed to acquire innovative commercial technologies and services to support the United States Air Force Academy's mission in leadership, academics, fitness, and professionalism. Operating as a CSO with Calls, this vehicle does not request proposals upon initial issuance but instead establishes a framework for future requirements. The government issues specific Calls for proposals as amendments to the CSO, with awards typically taking the form of FAR Part 12 commercial contracts or Other Transactions (OT). Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and funds availability, with the government seeking the best overall value. To date, the CSO has issued six distinct Calls focusing on diverse operational needs. These include strategic admissions outreach (Call 001), military exoskeleton technology to enhance warfighter lethality (Call 002), autonomous virtual perimeter monitoring for situational awareness (Call 003), and warfighter training support services for a 47-month cadet continuum (Call 004). More recent efforts include the implementation of AI-powered automated high school and college transcript processing (Call 005) and a comprehensive brand analysis to develop a Strategic Brand Roadmap (Call 006). Due to the handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), certain requirements, particularly for AI and IT solutions, restrict participation to U.S. Persons, including U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
