https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul (FAR OVERHAUL)

The following solicitation provisions and clause apply to this acquisition:
FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial Products and Commercial Services (SEP 2023)
ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (DEVIATION AUG 2025)
Provisions that are incorporated by reference (by Citation Number, Title, and Date), have the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. The version of FAR 52.212-1 in the addendum is tailored for Simplified Acquisition Procedures and supersedes the current version of FAR 52.212-1 contained in the FAR.
The following provision is incorporated into 52.212-1 as an addendum to this solicitation:
52.212-1Â Instructions to Offerors Commercial Products and Commercial Services (DEVIATION AUG 2025)
(a)Â Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. As a minimum, offers shall include
(1)Â The solicitation number;
(2)Â The name, address, telephone number of the Offeror;
(3)Â The Offeror s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator;
(4)Â Information necessary to evaluate the factors contained in the provision at 52.212-2 or as described in the solicitation;
(5)Â Responses to provisions that require Offeror completion of information, representations, and certifications (other than those collected via the System for Award Management (SAM)); and
(6)Â A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and any solicitation amendments.
(b)Â Period for acceptance of offers. The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.
(c)Â Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.
(1)Â Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.
(2)Â Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is late and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.
(3)Â If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.
(4)Â Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.
(d)Â Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a BPA without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror s initial offer should contain the Offeror s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
(e)Â Debriefings. If a post award debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:
(1)Â The agency s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror s offer.
(2)Â The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.
(3)Â The overall ranking of all Offerors when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.
(4)Â A summary of the rationale for award.
(5)Â For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful Offeror.
(6)Â Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed Offeror as to whether the agency followed source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities.
*The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the Buy American certification with their bid, quotation, or proposal, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award. Certificate must be filled out, signed, and submitted with proposal.
*The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the Limitations of Subcontracting document with their bid, quotation, or proposal, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award. Document must be filled out, signed, and submitted with proposal.

(End of provision)

All quoters shall submit the following:

One (1) quote in PDF format
One (1) Limitations on Subcontracting certificate, filled out and signed in PDF format
One (1) Buy America Certificate, filled out and signed in PDF format

All quotes shall be sent to the Contracting Officer at Jonatan.Rondon@va.gov

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services:

ADDENDUM to 52.212-2 EVALUATION COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (DEVIATION AUG 2025)

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

(1) technical capability or quality of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;
(2) price; and
(3) past performance.

Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process outlined in FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3), where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations. The evaluation will consider the following:

Technical or Quality: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation.
Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a quoter s likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation s requirements as indicated by the quoter s record of past performance. The past performance evaluation may be based on the contracting officer s knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; Customer surveys, and past performance questionnaire replies; Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other reasonable basis.
Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line-item prices, including all options. The Total Evaluated Price will be that sum.
Options. The Government will evaluate quotations for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
