11. The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items applies to this acquisition



ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items. 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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:



a. Technical capability of the services offered to meet or exceed the Government requirement. Technical areas shall be evaluated IAW FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), Evaluation of Quotations or Offers.



b. Price. As the evaluation of competing quotations in the technical aspect become more equal in rating, the more important Price shall become in selecting the best value for the government.



BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is an Unrestricted solicitation. This is a competitive solicitation using simplified acquisition procedures and Best Value Trade-off in which competing offerors technical performance and price will be evaluated to determine the award. Technical areas are more important than Price.



12. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in provision FAR 52.212-1 "Instructions to Offerors" the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, the model contract, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:



Responses to this RFQ will be evaluated against the following factors:   


      Factor 1:  Technical  


          Subfactor 1.1:  Pilot


          Subfactor 1.2: Aircraft



      Factor 2:  Cost/Price 


Evaluation Factors: IAW FAR 13.106-2(b)(1), regarding the relative importance of each factor, the Technical factor is weighted more heavily than the Cost/Price factor.  This method allows the government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest rated proposal to achieve a best-value contract award.  Within the Technical factor, subfactors are listed in descending order of importance with subfactor 1.1 considered the most important; subfactor 1.1 is more important than subfactor 1.2. 



FACTOR 1:  TECHNICAL             


Submittal Requirements: The technical factor addresses the offeror’s approach to managing personnel, budgets, technical efforts, on-site requirements and transition. When providing specific examples include contract name/number with a point of contact for reference.  Offeror may discuss how their approaches have worked in the past and how the approaches will benefit this specific contract.



Factors contain second level Subfactors.



Designation Identifiers



Factor Level 1
