(viii) FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (OCTOBER 28, 2025.) applies to this acquisition. (see 12.205(a)).

(ix) FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (OCTOBER 28, 2025.)

The Government anticipates and intends to make A SINGLE award for all items in the solicitation. Pricing per line item will be the primary evaluation criteria, although other factors will also be utilized for consideration.

Awards will be made to the responsible Quoter(s) whose quote conforms to the requirements and is determined to provide the best value to the Government, considering the evaluation factors outlined below.

(1) Price - The government will evaluate the Quoter’s proposed price to ensure it is fair and reasonable;

(2) Past Performance – Go/No-Go Evaluation https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul/far-part-deviation-guide/far-overhaul-part-52#FAR_52_212_1 https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul/far-part-deviation-guide/far-overhaul-part-52#FAR_52_212_2

The Government will evaluate the Quoter’s past performance on a Go/No-Go basis. The assessment will be based on the following criteria:

• Timeliness of Deliveries: The Quoter must demonstrate a consistent record of on-time deliveries. Documented instances of late deliveries, including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluations and communications with other Contracting Officers, will be reviewed. A history of substantial delivery delays will result in a "No-Go" determination.

• Order Accuracy and Completeness: The Quoter must show a track record of delivering complete and accurate orders. Evidence of recurring issues such as missing or incorrect items—supported by customer complaints, returns, or input from other Contracting Officers—will be considered. A pattern of incomplete or inaccurate deliveries will result in a "No-Go" determination.

• Only Quoters receiving a "Go" rating under this factor will be considered eligible for award.

(3) Technical Excellence – All offered products must conform to listed specifications for line items and maintain expiration dates that are appropriate and utilizable for the period of performance. Vendor ability to be able to deliver items within the stated dates of delivery for the performance period may also be evaluated.
