(c) 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.

(End of provision) ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive best value source selection in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13 in which competing offerors' past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than price considerations. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and representations and certifications, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. This combined synopsis/solicitation will result in a Firm-fixed price contract and all offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: a. Price Evaluation. Initially, offers shall be ranked according to price. An offeror's proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantity by the contractor's proposed unit price to confirm the extended amount for each contract line item (CLIN). The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price. The offeror shall also fill in the total extended price for the base plus four options periods. b. Using questionnaires, the contracting officer shall seek recent and relevant performance information based on (1) the past and present efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Relevant performance includes performances of animal care and husbandry services as those defined in the PWS with the same or similar scope, magnitude, and complexity this solicitation requires. The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offers if none of the lower priced offerors receives a "Substantial Confidence" performance assessment rating. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror's ability to perform the effort described in the solicitation, based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. c. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence or Unknown Confidence as defined in AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, Table 3 and shown below. Offerors with no relevant or recent past or present performance history shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Confidence ratings are defined as follows: SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. LIMITIED CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. NO CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE: No performance record is identifiable or the offeror's performance record is limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. d. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be considered as highly as past performance information from the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the offeror's performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. If the prime contractor has no past performance and is relying on their subcontractor's past performance, the prime contractor will be assessed an unknown confidence rating and, depending on the past performance information on the subcontractor, their past performance may or may not be assessed as defined in AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, Table 3 (shown above) and the two ratings will be combined. e. A relevancy determination of the offeror's present and past performance, including joint ventures, subcontractors and/or teaming partners will be made. In determining relevance for individual contract, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Relevance will be assessed for contracts that are most similar to the effort, or portion of the effort, for which that contractor is being proposed, and may contribute to an overall higher relevancy determination for the offeror. The Government is not bound by the offeror's opinion of relevance. f. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation. g. All conforming quotes will be ranked by overall price, low to high. Offers past performance will be reviewed in order, starting with the lowest overall price. If the lowest overall priced offer is judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" performance rating that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. h. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" performance assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by overall price) until an offeror is judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. In that event, the Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision. i. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the quotes preparation instructions. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors would not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for quote revision. j. The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health | Published January 5, 2012 - Deadline January 20, 2012
THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Division of Veterinary Resources (DVR), intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a contract on a non-competitive, sole source basis to the University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Michale E. Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research, Department of Veterinary Sciences, 650 Cool Water Drive, Bastrop, TX, 78602, for the purpose of providing long term maintenance for a colony of chimpanzees. The NIH, DVR, intends to award a cost reimbursement contract with a one-year base period plus four (4) successive one-year option periods. M.D. Anderson is the sole source for this requirement under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source) because of the below: The first two contracts for this requirement were awarded by full and open competition in September, 1988 and September, 1994 to the University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The solicitation to Contract 263-94-C-0028 was issued to ten (10) sources yet only one proposal was received which was from the incumbent Contractor. The previous contract was issued under Other than Full and Open Competition to the University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Contract No. N02-OR-0-4021). In addition, the current contract was issued under Other than Full and Open Competition to the University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Contract No. HHSN263200700021C). As a result, the reasons for other than full and open competition include the need for continuity to maintain the chimpanzees assigned to this program. This includes the provision of housing and support facilities, daily care to include the provision of fresh food and water, proper sanitation, and assurance that the overall animal health needs are fully met. All aspects of the Contractor's animal care and use program, including the provision of trained professional and technical staff, insure that the animals are maintained in such a manner that supports their behavioral, cognitive, social, and emotional needs which are crucial to their well-being. Social housing is the most critical element for maintaining normal, species-typical chimpanzee behavior. Stable, socially-housed colonies must be maintained without compromising the health and well-being of the animals. Establishing compatible social groups often takes years. The chimpanzees on this contract are members of compatible, stable social groups that have been together for five (5) to fifteen (15) years. As groups mature, behavior staffs must use innovative methods to maintain a stable integrated research colony. Disruption of the social structure would significantly result in undue stress with potential resultant disease, morbidity, or mortality resulting in loss of valuable research subjects and compromised experimental data. The Contractor has the ability to provide training, psychological enrichment, scientific support, and house chimpanzees in large, stable social groups in an indoor/outdoor environment. The Contractor is committed to promoting the psychological well-being of the chimpanzees through a comprehensive environmental enrichment program and a positive reinforcement training program. Note: This synopsis follows Sources Sought notice, HHS-NIH-OD-OLAO-SS-11-015 that was released on November 22, 2011.
