FAR 52.212-2 ADDENDUM - EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS EVALUATION. Award will be made to the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable quote. The Government intends to make a single Firm Fixed Price order to satisfy this requirement. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of offers submitted. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with vendors. Vendors should not expect requests for clarification or additional information from the Government. Award will be based on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to the solicitation. Therefore, quoters are cautioned that their initial quotes should contain their best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received. Evaluation of quotes will be conducted on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis. All quotes will be evaluated first on price. The lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If the lowest priced quote is found to be technically acceptable, then no further evaluations will be conducted and award will be made. If the lowest priced quote is not technically acceptable, the next lowest priced offer will be evaluated, and so on until a technically acceptable quote is found. The following ratings/definitions will be utilized when evaluating quotes: RATING DEFINITION Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation. The Government may use information such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), DoD PPIRS and the FAPIIS data available from Government sources to evaluate a Quoter's past performance. TECHNICAL COMPLIANCE: To ensure technical compliance: a. A mere statement that the quoter will meet the Government's requirement is NOT sufficient. Quoters must provide: ? Clear description of the proposed categories for Stock Images and Stock Videos; ? Clear description of the proposed categories for Stock Audio Files with various sound effects and instrumental files to provide for background music. ? Demonstrate the ability to perform the requirements in the Statement of Work. All information must be presented in sufficient depth for the Government to make a comprehensive evaluation of the Quoter's understanding of the Statement of Work b. Clearly state whether the quoter can meet the required period of performance. Vendors who cannot meet the required period of performance will not be considered technically acceptable. c. Quoters shall complete responses to provisions 252.209-7991, 252.209-7996, and 252.209-7997 which are provided in this solicitation. d. FAR Provision 52.212-3 (see instructions of 52.212-3: "The Offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) Web site accessed through http://www.acquisition.gov. If the Offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, the Offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (r) of this provision." PRICING. Quoters shall provide pricing for a period of twelve months, with provisions for four (4) twelve-month option periods. The Government intends to make a single award Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task order with FFP CLINs for one, (1) twelve-month base period, plus four (4), twelve (12) month option periods, to be exercised at the discretion of the Government (see FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract). The prices for all option items will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options. The Government makes no guarantee that the option periods will be exercised. It will be the Government's unilateral right to exercise any option periods providing that the Notice of Intent is provided to the contractor within the time specified in FAR 52.217-9 of the contract and, once option periods are exercised; the Contractor is required to perform the work when ordered during the scheduled period of performance of the task order. The price quote should avoid ambiguities of inclusion, exclusion, or content. The Government will evaluate Quoter's quoted prices, but this factor will not be given an adjectival rating. Quotes will be evaluated on completeness, accuracy, and reasonableness. Evaluation of the quoted prices for the services will be based on a comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and may also be based on a comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) along with any other relevant price analysis techniques defined in FAR 15.404-1(b). Note, that while FAR Part 15 does not apply to this procurement, the price analysis techniques defined in FAR 15.404-1 will be utilized as appropriate, pursuant to the class deviation at FAR 8.404(d). All option period pricing will be considered in the evaluation. Reasonableness. For the price to be reasonable in its nature and amount, it should not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of a competitive business. Reasonableness takes into account the context of a given source selection, including current market conditions, general economic conditions, and other factors that affect the ability of a Quoter to perform the contract requirements. Normally, adequate price competition establishes a fair and reasonable price. Completeness and Accuracy. The Government will review the pricing tables for completeness and accuracy. A determination will be made as to whether the Quoter properly completed the pricing tables. The Quoter's quote will be checked for mathematical correctness to include the following: 1) Checking arithmetic in all computations; and 2) Ensuring all prices are summarized correctly CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE 52.203-18 Prohibition on Contracting With Entities That Require Certain Internal Confidentiality Agreements or Statements--Representation JAN 2017 52.204-7 System for Award Management OCT 2016 52.204-13 System for Award Management Maintenance OCT 2016 52.204-16 Commercial and Government Entity Code Reporting JUL 2016 52.204-18 Commercial and Government Entity Code Maintenance JUL 2016 52.204-19 Incorporation by Reference of Representations and Certifications.
