The provision at RFO 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Deviation 2026-O0038) (Feb 2026) applies.

Addenda to the following paragraphs of RFO 52.212-2 are:

1. 1. Evaluation Factors: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. This acquisition will utilize lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA), Price will be evaluated for completeness, reasonableness and balanced pricing. The Government reserves the right to evaluate proposed prices to determine whether they are realistic for the requirements, reflect an understanding of the PWS, and are consistent with the technical proposal. Offers that are determined to be unrealistically low may be assessed a technical risk, rated technically unacceptable, or rejected entirely by the Contracting Officer." The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
      
      • Price: The offeror shall provide pricing as requested in Attachment 5 Construction Cost Schedule and Section B – Supplies or Services & Prices or Costs of the model contract. These two documents must match in total evaluated price. In the event that they do not match, the Schedule B will be considered the official quote pricing in determining the total evaluated price. Failure to provide both the construction cost schedule and Section B CLIN breakdown will result in a quote package being excluded from further consideration. The offeror’s quotation will be evaluated in accordance with RFO 12.204, to determine if it is fair and reasonable. The Government will analyze proposed prices to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to individual Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs). Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over- or understated with respect to the work required under that specific CLIN. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable and reject it if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government or that the prices are materially unbalanced.
      • Technical: Technical acceptability will be evaluated to receive an overall rating of “acceptable” or “unacceptable.” This will be based on the following subfactors:
        • Bid Bonds: were bid bonds included in the technical proposal package? Were they at least 20% of the proposed TEP and from an Approved Surety IAW RFO Clause 52.228-1?
        • NIST Compliance: Does offeror have a current NIST SP Score of 110 or CMMC level 2 certification?
        • Understanding of the Requirement: Does the technical proposal demonstrate a clear grasp of project goals rather than simply paraphrasing the solicitation?
        • Technical Solution & Methodology: Is the technical solution and methodology specific and credible? Will the tools and chosen processes achieve the requirement? Does the technical proposal include a completed attachment 7 – Template - AF3064 Progress Schedule? Are all major milestones identified with reasonable timelines?

The government will evaluate technical proposals for each subfactor and on a pass/fail basis to determine technical acceptability. If any subfactor is failed, it will result in an unacceptable technical rating.

• • • Past Performance: The Government may utilize any references provided by the Contractor, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the Dept of War and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources (i.e. sam.gov), SPRS or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine if the Contractor has acceptable or neutral Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated using the following rating system:

       • Acceptable: The contractor shows a demonstrated ability to meet contract requirements in prior or current contracts, including quality of work, timeliness, cost control, business relations, and adherence to contract terms.

       • Neutral: Offeror does not have a past performance record.

• Unacceptable: The contractor has a documented history of failing to meet contract requirements, including poor quality, missed deadlines, cost overruns, lack of responsiveness, or unethical behavior.

In order to be found acceptable for past performance, past performance information included with the quote package (or independent government research) must demonstrate a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort or the offeror’s performance records is unknown and therefore rated as neutral. If based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort an unacceptable rating will be assigned. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

All quote packages that are determined timely and determined to be consistent with, conform to, and to be complete in accordance with the instructions provided in RFO 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors will be ranked from lowest to highest total evaluated price (TEP). The offeror with the lowest TEP will have their CLIN breakdown evaluated for balanced pricing, if acceptable, they will be evaluated for technical and past performance acceptability.  If the offeror with the lowest TEP receives an "Acceptable" technical and past performance rating, a recommendation will be made to award to that offeror. If the proposal with the lowest TEP does not receive an "Acceptable" technical or past performance assessment rating or is found unacceptable in terms of unbalanced CLIN pricing, the next lowest offeror will be evaluated for technical and past performance acceptability (and so on) until one (1) quote package receives an “acceptable” technical and past performance rating. Only one (1) award will be made under this solicitation. Award will be conducted under the provision of RFO Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Submit only written offers; oral offers will not be accepted. All firms or individuals responding must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM.gov).

1. 1. Options: N/a
   2. Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a firm fixed- price contract without discussion. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
