(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (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 (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) Addendum to 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items paragraph (a) is tailored as follows: By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and the technical requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: (i) Conformance to the Schedule of Services: The proposal shall include sufficient information and detail that demonstrates the ability to deliver the required services. The service being proposed must be included as part of the proposal to ensure the services offered meet the government's requirements as stated in the PWS (Atch 2). Additionally, the proposal shall include the Contractor's Quality Control Plan which addresses the requirements as stated in the PWS (Atch 2). Conformance to the Schedule of Services will be determined by an evaluation of the information provided by the Contractor as to the services offered and the Contractor's Quality Control (QC) Plan. This criteria will each be rated as "Acceptable/ Unacceptable". To be rated acceptable, both must be acceptable. Failure to submit these documents with the proposal may render the entire submission non-responsive without further evaluation. (ii) Price: Contractors are required to complete the attached Schedule of Services (Atch 3). The Government shall place in order all responsive proposals by price. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The evaluation will include consideration of pricing for the extension of services under clause 52.217-8. In accordance with FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, the Government may require continued performance within the limits and at the rates specified, for a maximum period of up to six months. The six-month extension is not separately priced, however, for evaluation purposes, 50% of the final option year (six month) value will be added to the total proposed amount. This addition is for evaluation purposes only and will not be included in the total aggregate value of the resulting contract. (iii) Past Performance: Past performance will demonstrate the contractor's ability to deliver the services specified in the PWS. Provide at least one (1) and not more than three (3) relevant references (either Federal or Commercial). Furnish the following information for each reference listed: Company/Division Name Product/Service Point of Contact, e-mail, and phone number Contract Number Contract Dollar Value Past performance will be rated as acceptable/unacceptable based on the response from the references provided. Acceptable means the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully performed the required effort, or the offerors performance record is unknown. Unacceptable means, based on the information provided, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. The Government reserves the right to utilize past performance information gained from other sources (i.e., past performance databases, other government sources, etc.) to aid in evaluating past performance. NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, unknown shall be considered acceptable. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offerors initial offer should contain the offerors best terms from a price, technical, and past performance standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. (End of Addendum) 10.
