An addendum will be added on page 11. FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation of Offerors, is applicable to this acquisition. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures utilizing Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) factors will be used for the evaluation process. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Factor #1 � Service / products must meet all the specifications spelled out in Attachment 1. All addressed specifications must be addressed. Failure to not address any of the specifications will result in the vendors quote being found unacceptable. Technical Factor #2 � Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2. Past Performance will be rated on an �acceptable� or �unacceptable� basis. The apparent successful, prospective contractor must have acceptable past performance. System for Award Management (SAM.gov) exclusions list, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) shall be considered as part of the past performance evaluation process. Any past performance that is found to be �negative�, shall result in the entire Past Performance rating as �Unacceptable�. �Negative� is defined as any CPARS past performance evaluation rated less than �Satisfactory�, any Terminations for Default/Cause, or any negative performance references will be rated as �Unacceptable�. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, �unknown� shall be considered �acceptable.� Any past performance that is found to be �negative�, shall result in the entire Past Performance rating as �Unacceptable� making the overall Technical Acceptability as �Unacceptable�. If an offeror receives an adjectival rating of �unacceptable� in any factor they may not be eligible for contract award. Offeror must sign and date page 3 to acknowledge the 52.252-1 addendum along with all amendments posted to beta.sam.gov for 12305B24Q0228.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
