(vii) The contract will consist of a base year of twelve (12) months from date of award and two 12 month option years that will be exercised at the discretion of the Government. (viii) The provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition and is amended to add the additional information as follows: (1) Quote Format: The technical quote submission shall be limited to 10 one-sided pages (inclusive of cover pages, charts, graphs, tabs, etc.) The price quote has no page limitations. All quotes should be provided with a cover page and table of contents for both the Technical and the Price sections. No pricing information is to be provided within the technical quote. (2) Quote Content: A. Volume I Technical and Past Performance: Submission of technical quotes should contain all information necessary to allow for a comprehensive evaluation by the Government. The technical quote shall fully describe all of the Offeror's assumptions and shall clearly demonstrate the Offeror's understanding of the requirements of the SOW, and convey the Offeror's capabilities to fulfill the requirements of the SOW. Accordingly, the technical quote shall include the following: 1. Discussion of proposed technical approach: proposed approach to standardizing information from the calls into a uniform database to include the potential data fields to be included in the database, and conducting temporal analysis of the calls and identify needs identified by callers into the Texas 2-1-1 Information and Referral system, and for completing geospatial analysis of the calls. 2. Management Plan: The Offeror shall provide a management plan that addresses how the contractor proposes to ensure the following: successful delivery of the integrated database, successful and timely completion of temporal and geospatial analyses of calls received into the Texas 2-1-1 Information and Referral system during the specified time, quality of the proposed mock-up of a standardized data entry template, and responsiveness to the Government. 3. Past Performance: The Offeror is required to provide past performance questionnaires from a total of two (2) references. In order to facilitate the evaluation of the Offeror's past performance, the offeror shall present the following information for each of its two references: Name and Address of Customer; Contract Number/Contract Title: Delivery Schedule/Period of Performance: Description of the Work Performed: Name and current telephone number for the Customer's primary point of contact. The Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 2 to the solicitation) must be completed by the references and submitted directly to the Contract Specialist no later than the date and time the quotes are due. It is the Offeror's responsibility to forward the Past Performance questionnaires to the references, and have the references sends the completed questionnaires to the Contract Specialist, Elizabeth Clark, by e-mail (no faxes). B. Volume II Price: The Offeror shall prepare a Price Quote that contains all the information necessary to allow for a comprehensive evaluation of the pricing for the above stated CLINs through Option Year 2. A total amount for the Base Period and each Option Period, and an aggregate amount for all CLINs combined shall be provided by completing the price worksheet provided in Attachment 3 to the solicitation. Each proposed labor category price must be fully loaded. That is, it must include the total price for all aspects of performance under the contract.

Award may be made to other than the low price and accomplished without the conduct of discussions. (1) Evaluation Factors: Non-cost related factors applicable to the evaluation of offers are Technical/Management Capability and Past Performance. The determination of best value will be made by comparing the differences in the value of the Technical/Management Capability Factor and Past Performance and with differences in the prices proposed between Offerors. Technical/ Management Capability is slightly more important that Past Performance. When combined, Technical/Management Capability and Past Performance are significantly more important than Price. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall cost to the Government to achieve only slightly superior technical capability. (2) Evaluation Criteria: A. Technical/Management Capability - Assesses the ability of the Offeror to effectively demonstrate the knowledge, understanding, and technical ability to meet the requirements in the SOW as required in this RFQ. The Offeror's overall operational approach will be evaluated on the adequacy of methodology to accomplish the SOW.

Past Performance - Will assess whether the Offeror consistently delivers quality services in a cost effective manner. In conducting its evaluation of past performance, the Government reserves the right to use all information available at the time of evaluations to include information contained in its own records, information made available through reference checks and through commercial sources (such as Dun and Bradstreet Reports). Only recent performance within the last 3 years will be considered in this evaluation. The assessment will include the following areas: corporate/organizational commitment and quality of services. A Quoter without a record of past performance or for whom information on relevant past performance is not available will be evaluated as neutral. The offeror will be given the opportunity to rebut a negative past performance evaluation. (x) Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items, with their offer or cite whether their organization is registered in ORCA.

Technical/Management Capability - Assesses the ability of the Offeror to effectively demonstrate the knowledge, understanding, and technical ability to meet the requirements in the SOW as required in this RFQ.
