ADDENDA TO 52.212-2 EVALUATION

SOURCE SELECTION METHOD -- BEST VALUE

(a) Trade-off Process
Past Performance and Price: Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, past performance and price considered. The offer selected as best value will represent the best trade-off to the Government among past performance and price. Past Performance will be significantly more important than price. The Government will determine best value on the basis of an assessment of the following factors: (1) Past Performance factor – The Government will evaluate past performance in accordance with the Past Performance Proposal and Evaluation clause in this solicitation. (2) Price factor – The Government will evaluate the offered prices for price reasonableness in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.404-1.
(b) Options.
(1) 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 total evaluated price will be for the base period _ plus an additional 20% of the value of the last priced performance period in the bid schedule. This additional sum is for evaluation purposes only to address the possible use of FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, for a period not to exceed 6 months. (2) Please note that if the FAR 52.217-8 option is exercised, the applicable unit prices for the option will be the same as the immediately preceding period of performance. Therefore, if the option under FAR 52.217-8 is exercised prior to the end of the base period, the unit prices from the base period will be used during the extension period. If the option under FAR 52.217-8 is exercised prior to the end of any option period, the unit prices from the applicable option period will be used during the extension period.
(3) 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).
