B. PART II – TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

Vendor shall submit technical information to confirm the items requested will be provided as stated in this Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (see Table 1).

52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

This tailored clause takes precedence over the clause incorporated by reference.

The Government will award a contract resulting from the solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Part I – Price Part II – Technical Documentation

Award will be made based on the competitive quote received with the lowest evaluated price that meets the technical criteria on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical criterion is determined to be unacceptable, that quote will not be evaluated further and will not be eligible for award.

Evaluation and Award Criteria

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

1. Evaluation:

By submission of its quote, the vendor agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to adhere to all solicitation requirements may result in a quotation being determined unacceptable and ineligible for further evaluation. The evaluation process follows:

Step I – Price Quote Evaluation

The price will be evaluated using Table 1, provided in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1.

Initially, the Government will place all eligible quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest evaluated price. The price will be evaluated using a quote identifying the unit price, total line-item price, and overall price for the CLIN identified in Table 1 provided in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1.

The Government will then evaluate the three lowest evaluated priced quotes to determine if they are reasonable and complete. If there is a conflict between the unit price and the overall price, the unit price will be used to determine the correct price. Failure to quote for any price element may cause the quoter’s quote to be rejected as unacceptable.

Quoters whose evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 13.106-3) may not be considered for award.

Step II – Technical Documentation Evaluation

Next, the three lowest evaluated priced vendors, and their guaranteed lead times, will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. For the three lowest evaluated priced vendors to receive a rating of “Acceptable”, they shall submit technical information to confirm the items requested will be provided as stated in this Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (see Table 1). If any of the three lowest evaluated priced vendors do not demonstrate all necessary requirements, they will receive an “Unacceptable” rating and evaluation of that quote will stop.

The technical factors will receive one of the following ratings listed below:

Rating Description

Rating Description Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. Basis of Award:

If the lowest evaluated priced, technically acceptable vendor receives an “acceptable”, that quotation represents the most advantageous quote to the Government, evaluation of that quote is complete, award will be made to that vendor, and the evaluation process will stop. If the lowest evaluated priced, technically acceptable vendor receives an “unacceptable”, evaluation of that quote will stop, and the Government may not award to the quoter. In that instance, the next lowest evaluated priced vendor will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until a technically acceptable vendor is evaluated to have an “acceptable” rating, or until all vendors are evaluated.

Clarifications conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute conversations and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for a quote revision. The Government intends to award a contract without conversations (while keeping with FAR Part 12 and 13). The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct conversations if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists between the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Products and Commercial Services and the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, the evaluation criteria in the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items will take precedence.

All FAR provisions/clauses in the basic GSA contract are applicable to this solicitation and flow down to the delivery order.
