ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2
Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following:
(a) The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation which offers the Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote to the U.S. Government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:
Factor I - Technical. The vendor's quote shall show compliance with the salient characteristics in Addendum to 52.212-1.
The Government will use the following standards to rate Technical:
(1) Acceptable - Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
(2) Unacceptable - Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
The Government intends to make an award without conducting discussions. After the initial evaluation of quotes is completed, if one or more quotes are rated Acceptable, the initial evaluation will become the final evaluation of quotes and award will be made without discussions to the lowest priced offeror. If any salient characteristic is rated Unacceptable after the initial evaluation, the salient characteristic will be rated Unacceptable and the quote will no longer be considered for award. If all quotes submitted result in an unacceptable salient characteristic then clarifications may be necessary. The Government evaluation team will evaluate the offeror's response to the Government exchanges with offerors.
FACTOR 2: PRICE. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness based on anticipated adequate price competition. Once the technical factors are rated as acceptable, contract award will be made to the technically acceptable quoter with the lowest price.
(b) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.
