FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, applies to this acquisition. As
prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language
therein:

The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose
quote conforms to the solicitation; is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered; and provides the
best value to the Government in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(ii) and FAR 2.101. There is no ranking or assigned
importance to evaluation factor IAW FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(iii). The use of FAR 15.3 and DoD Source Selection Procedures are
not applicable to this solicitation, or any award resulting from this solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate
quotes: Quality (technical capability) and Price.

Quality and Price are approximately equal.

Basis for contract award:

This is a competitive selection in which the competing quoters will be evaluated on best value. The Government expects to
award one (1) firm-fixed price requirements contract as a result of this solicitation. The US Government will make an award to
the responsible (IAW the Federal Acquisition Regulation [FAR]) contractor whose offer conforms to the solicitation and are
determined to be the most advantageous to the Government considering price and non-price factors. The solicitation
requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and other information required by 52.212-1 of
this solicitation.

Evaluation Approach:

All quotations will be evaluated for responsiveness. Responsiveness is determined by verifying compliance with FAR 52.212-1
and information contained within this RFQ.
All responsive quotations will be ranked, by price, from the lowest to the highest Total Evaluated Price (TEP). A Quoter’s TEP
is depicted in Attachment 2, Quote Schedule. The TEP is comprised of the total contract value (base and all options) plus the 6-
month option available at FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. Pricing for FAR 52.217-8 is determined by taking the
average “amount” of the base and four (4) options and dividing by two (2).

The solicitation and subsequent award for this acquisition contains the clause at FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. This
option to extend the contract term is evaluated as part of the initial evaluation, so that any resultant exercise of this option is
within scope of the pending contract. The inclusion of this clause provides up to six (6) months of continued performance when
it is in the Government’s best interest to continue performance after the end of any option period. If conditions warrant the exercise of this option, the price(s) for the continued performance under this clause shall be at the same
price(s) as the prior performance period.

Technical evaluations will start with the lowest TEP quotation and continue until two (2) Quoters are determined to be
technically acceptable, or until all Quoters have been evaluated. 

The Government will make a determination of price fair and reasonable

Factor 1: Technical Capability

Technical capability will be evaluated using two (2) subfactors, a technical approach/plan and certifications and qualifications. Both will be evaluated for being Acceptable or Unacceptable. All subfactors must be technically acceptable to be eligible for the award. Technical Capability will be evaluated and rating utilizing the following definitions: 

Acceptable:    Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation
Unacceptable:    Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation

Subfactor 1: Technical Approach/Plan: Shall clearly explain how the quoter intends
to ensure successful contract performance IAW the PWS. Technical approach/ Quotes shall not simply rephrase or restate the
PWS or contain general statements such as "Standard procedures will be employed". Quotes shall provide convincing rationale
addressing how the technical portion of the Quote meets solicitation requirements. Five (5) page maximum. 

Subfactor 2: Certifications and Qualifications: Certificates for each employee who will work on Dover AFB cranes and hoists, showing that they have successfully completed an industry recognized crane and hoist certification course (OSHA, ANSI & NCCCO) and a resume for each employee, verifying and detailing that they are competent, qualified and experienced journeyman mechanics in the trade and that they have a minimum of two (2) years continuous crane and hoist repair, test and certification. Certifications and Qualifications will be reviewed to determine expertise and capability to meet the requirements of this contract. These will be deemed acceptable if found to be within scope of the contract requirements, otherwise they will be considered unacceptable. No page limit.

Factor 2: PRICE 

Price will be evaluated as follows:
Completeness:
Upon receipt of quotes, the contracting officer will screen quotes to ensure they are complete, and all required information and pricing are present. This will be done quickly, and in the most minimally burdensome fashion, as determined by the contracting officer.

Price Reasonableness:
The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is based on competitive quotations, as outlined in FAR 13.106-3(a)(1), but price reasonableness may also be determined through price analysis techniques, as described in FAR 13.106-3.

Total Evaluated Price: 
Only the total evaluated price (TEP) submitted in the quote will be evaluated; this includes the total CLIN pricing for the basic year and all option years listed in listed in Attachment 2- Quote Schedule.  The total proposed price for all options will be added to the total proposed price for the basic requirement as part of the TEP calculation. TEP will be used for evaluation purposes only. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
