RFO 52.212-2 Evaluation- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021) (Deviation Jan 2026)

Quotes will be evaluated based on the factors set forth in paragraph (a) using Tradeoff procedures.

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a single order resulting from this RFQ to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. The non-price factors are of equal importance, and when combined, are more important than price. The evaluation criteria for each of the factors are as follows:

1. Technical Approach. The Quoter's overall technical approach will be evaluated to assess the Government's level of confidence in the Quoter's understanding of, approach to, and ability to successfully perform the requirements as described in the Statement of Work.

2. Experience. The Quoter's background, experience, and qualifications (relevant past projects performing similar services, certifications related to current requirement, etc.) will be assessed to determine the likelihood that the Quoter can successfully perform the contract requirements.

3. Price. The quoted prices will be evaluated but not scored. The Government will evaluate the price quote for completeness and reasonableness in relation to the RFQ requirements.

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