This addendum outlines the instructions for offerors submitting proposals for commercial products and services to the government. It details the requirements for proposal submission, emphasizing that offers must conform to solicitation requirements and be advantageous to the government, considering price and other factors. Key submission elements include the solicitation number, offeror contact information, technical descriptions, warranty terms, a price breakdown, SAM.gov registration details (including Cage Code and optionally DUNS), acknowledgment of amendments, and past performance information. Failure to meet these requirements or rejection of terms may lead to exclusion. Offerors must hold their prices firm for at least 27 calendar days from the receipt date, with an option to extend this period, and clearly state the offer's expiration date.
This addendum outlines the government's evaluation process for awarding contracts for commercial products and services. The evaluation prioritizes the most advantageous offer, considering price and technical factors. Offers must conform to all solicitation terms; non-conforming or incomplete submissions may be excluded. Past performance is not a factor. The process begins with ranking all responsive offers by price, ensuring no unreasonable or unbalanced pricing. A technical evaluation then assesses offers, starting with the lowest-priced, as “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” based on meeting specifications. This continues until at least three technically acceptable offers are identified, or all offers are evaluated if fewer than three exist. If no offers are acceptable, no award is made. The government reserves the right to communicate with offerors and to not select a contractor. A written notice of award creates a binding contract.
