7. Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 (Evaluation Text)

(a) Basis for Award: The Government will award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Proposals will be evaluated on an "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" basis. Award will be made to the lowest-priced offer that meets all technical baselines.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Factor 1: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail)
   • Documentation: Offerors must submit manufacturer specification sheets, brochures, or an explicit technical capabilities statement demonstrating that the proposed items meet or exceed all salient characteristics listed in Section 3 of this solicitation.
   • Salient Criteria Baseline: To be rated "Acceptable," the quote must explicitly confirm identical structural requirements (18-gauge exterior/16-gauge base), a side-mount removable heating assembly with ambient conversion capabilities, identical capacity matching (198/260/360 segregation trays), exact electrical configurations (120V / 1700W / 14.2A), and mandated institutional security features (tamper-resistant screws/cord, 12-gauge transport latch).
2. Factor 2: Past Performance (Pass/Fail)
   • The Government will evaluate the offeror's record of integrity and business ethics. Offerors with no record of past performance will receive a neutral rating and will be deemed "Acceptable" for this factor.
3. Factor 3: Price
   • Total price will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. The total price will consist of the combined sum of all three (3) hardware units and all destination shipping fees listed under separate line items CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002 compared against the internal baseline of $30,039.75.

(b) Options: Not Applicable.

(c) Written Notice: 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, whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
