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

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to this combined synopsis will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

The following factors and subfactors will be used to determine technical acceptability. Quoter shall provide the information necessary, to evaluate the following factors and subfactors:

In descending order of importance are

1. Technical Capability of the Roller Offered.

2. Experience Renting Equipment.

3. Past Performance.

Factor #1 – Technical Capability of the Equipment Offered: In order to be considered for award, quoter must at a minimum, demonstrate adequate experience and technical capability of the services quoted to meet or exceed the technical specifications. Specifically, the Government will evaluate for the following:

Subfactor #1.1 – Technical capability of the Roller offered to meet or exceed the specifications listed in this combined synopsis. Include year, make, and model of Roller.

Subfactor # 2 – Bio-Based products used to operate/maintain the Roller.

Factor #2 – Experience Renting Equipment: Quote shall demonstrate 3 or more years of experience providing similar rental equipment.

Factor # 3 – Past Performance: Quoter must, have a recent past performance rating of acceptable/satisfactory or higher for same or similar services. The quoter must provide at a minimum three references for past performance, including any proposed subcontractor. References should include contact name, phone number and email, and a description of the services provided. The past performance should indicate successes of the contractor in completing/meeting performance requirements and customer satisfaction as well as address any problems.

Subfactor #1 – Recency of present/past performance in relation to this effort: The Government considers “recent” present/past performance to be within the past 3 years.

Subfactor #2 – Relevancy of present/past performance in relation to this effort: The Government considers “relevant” present/past performance to be present/past performance effort involved in similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this combined synopsis requires.

The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the offeror. Information obtained from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) database located at http//www.ppirs.gov is one of the sources that will be utilized. PPIRS functions as the central warehouse for performance assessment reports received from several Federal performance information collection systems and is sponsored by the DOD E-Business Office and administered by the Naval Sea

Logistics Center Detachment Portsmouth.

NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)), 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 shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability,“unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

Factor #4 – Price: Award will be made to the quoter whose quote represents the best value to the

Government.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are _equal in importance to price_

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(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. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
