(vi) The contract shall provide for Conference Space in accordance with Attachment A. (vii) The period of performance: September 30, 2015 through November 15, 2015. The place of performance shall be at the contractor's facility. (viii) The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items (April 2014), applies to this acquisition. ADDENDUM to 52.212-1 : Quoter must address each of the technical requirements outlined in section "vi". Quoter's submission must include the following information: Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS); Northern American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code; Contact Name; Contact Email Address; Contact Telephone and Fax Number; Complete Business Mailing Address. Quoter's shall submit the name and contract information of at least three relevant Past Performance references. Each Quoter shall submit Pricing as a separate document that shall include the format shown on Standard Form 18. The Quoter shall not submit more than three (3) pages for their Pricing Quotation. The Technical Capability Quotation shall be no more than five (5) pages. The entire submitted Quotation shall be no more than eight (8) pages. This does not include the Past Performance reference. No price information shall be in the Technical Capability Quotation. (End of Provision) (ix) The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (Oct 2014) applies to this acquisition. This contract will be awarded on a Best Value - Tradeoff basis. Vendors will be evaluated based on their adherence to the requirements set forth in Attachment A. (i) Technical Acceptance: Quoter's shall address each of the technical requirements outlined in Attachment A. Technical Capability will be evaluated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis. Acceptable Rating: Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Rating: Quote does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. If any of the requirements are considered Unacceptable then the entire Technical Quotation will be considered Non-Responsive and the Quoter will no longer be considered for award. (ii) Past Performance Assessments: The Quoter's past performance will be evaluated on the basis of information contained in the Quoter's submission and the information that the Government obtains through reference checks or other means. The past performance evaluation will assess the Quoter's record of providing high quality services of a similar nature in a manner that ensures maximum accuracy, throughout, cost effectiveness and overall client satisfaction. Past Performance includes relevance of experience and past performance quality. a) EVALUATION AND AWARD: A single award will be made to the responsible Quoter submitting an overall Quotation that is determined most advantageous to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. However, the Government reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of awardees based on the results of the evaluation. Awards will be made to the Quoter whose quotation meets the Government's requirements and whose technical performance and price represent the most advantageous to the Government. The evaluation of quotations will be based on a technical evaluation of the Technical Capability and Past Performance non-price evaluation factors. Technical Capability is more important than Past Performance. When combined, the technical evaluation factors of (i) Technical Capability, and (ii) Past Performance, are significantly more important than Price. As the technical evaluation of quotations approaches equality, greater will be the importance of price in making the award determination. In the event that two or more quotations are determined not to have any substantial technical differences, awards may be made to the lower priced quotation. It should be noted that award may be made to other than the lowest priced quotation if the Government determines that a price premium is warranted due to technical merit. The Government may also award to other than the highest technically rated quotation, if the Government determines that a price premium is not warranted. b) Awards may also be made on the basis of initial quotations without discussions. Quoters are therefore cautioned that each initial quotation should contain the Quoters best terms. c) Price Analysis: The Government will conduct its price analysis using one or more of the techniques listed below: 1. Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation. 2. Comparison of proposed prices with independent government cost estimates. 3. Comparison of proposed prices with prices obtained through market research for the same or similar items. d) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quotation, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the Quoter's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quotation (or part of a quotation), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. (End of Provision) (x) FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items (March 2015), applies to this acquisition. The Quoter shall complete only paragraphs (b) of this provision if the Quoter has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) Web site accessed through http://www.acquisition.gov.

FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services (Nov 1999) The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor.

The Government will evaluate this option by considering the prices proposed for the base period and the option periods with the understanding that should the Government elect to utilize the FAR Subpart 52.217-8 clause, the scope of work and price will be exactly the same, other than period of performance, as the base period or option period being extended.
