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

Quotes will be evaluated based on price and the factors set forth in paragraph (a) using Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures.

a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be technically acceptable and offers the lowest evaluated price. Award will be made without tradeoffs. Evaluation will be based on the following pass/fail criteria:

1. Technical Approach. The Quoter's overall technical approach will be evaluated to assess the Government's level of confidence in the Offeror’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 Offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements.

3. Specification Sheet

4. Price. The Government intends to award a LPTA, single firm-fixed-price contract. Evaluation will start with the lowest priced quote and move upwards until a quote receives a "pass" rating for all factors 1, 2 and 3.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes 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) Notice of Award. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, 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.
