(End of provision)  ADDENDUM to 52.212-2 Evaluation Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021)  (a) Basis of Award.  This procurement is being conducted pursuant to FAR Part [13] procedures.  The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose [offer], conforming to the solicitation, [offers] the lowest price, whose [offered] price does not exceed the amount of funding available for the procurement, and whose [offered] price is found to be reasonable.  Price alone is the sole evaluation factor.  In addition to the general standards of responsibility found at FAR § 9.104-1, in accordance with FAR § 9.104-2, the special standards of responsibility described below apply to this procurement.  Offerors who fail to meet any special standard of responsibility will not be eligible to receive a contract award.    (b) Evaluation Process. Quotes will be evaluated in the following manner. The lowest-priced quote will be identified. The lowest-priced quote will be evaluated to determine if the quoted price exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement. If the quoted price does not exceed the amount of funding available for the procurement, the quoted price will be evaluated to determine if it is reasonable. If the quoted price is found to be reasonable, the offeror who submitted this quote will be identified as the successful offeror. The contracting officer will then determine if the successful offeror is responsible using the general standards of responsibility and the special standards of responsibility applicable to this procurement. If a contract award cannot be made to the successful offeror, the contracting officer will evaluate the next lowest-priced quote following the procedures described above. This process will continue until a contract award can be made, or the contracting officer determines that no contract award can be made. The contracting officer may find all quotes not acceptable and cancel the solicitation if the lowest-priced quote exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at any time if determined by the contracting officer to be in the Government s interest.     (c) Options.  The Government will evaluate [offers / quotes] for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an [offer] is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced or if the [offered] price for the basic requirement or any option exceeds the amount of funding available for any of those requirements.  Evaluation of options should not oblige the Government to exercise the option(s).    (d) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before the award.    (End of provision)  The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-04, dated 6/11/2025.
