FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021) (RFO DEVIATION January 30, 2026)

(a) Evaluation factors.

The following factors will be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Compliance Review

2. Technical Capability

3. Past Performance

4. Price

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotations 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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quotation furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the quotation, shall result in a binding BPA without further action by either party.

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

(End of provision)

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021) (RFO DEVIATION January 30, 2026) To be acceptable and eligible for evaluation, quotations shall be prepared in accordance with 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Products and Commercial Services with its addendum and shall meet all the requirements set forth in other sections of this solicitation.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government will conduct an initial compliance review of all quotations received to assess completeness and adherence to the terms of the solicitation.

Quotations that are incomplete or fail to comply with the requirements may be rejected in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(a)(4).

The Government intends to utilize streamlined evaluation techniques under FAR 12.201-1 Simplified Procedures for Commercial Services to promote efficiency.

The Government will conduct a pre-screening of all quotations under Factor 1:

Compliance Review and will identify those quotations that demonstrate initial indicators of best value and compliance with the solicitation requirements. Only these quotations will proceed to the comparative evaluation phase.

The source selection will be conducted using the comparative evaluation method, as authorized under FAR 12.203. Comparative evaluation entails a direct comparison of two or more quotations on an item-by-item basis to determine which offers the best value to the Government. Evaluation criteria will include technical capability, past performance, and price, as specified in this solicitation.

This is not a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection.

However, the Government may award to the lowest-priced quotation if it is determined to offer the best overall value based on the evaluation criteria.

Evaluation Process and Factors Factor 1: Compliance Review

1. Submission of a complete quotation that includes all required information identified in the solicitation, including technical capability, and pricing;

2. Completed Attachment 3 – Representations & Certifications;

3. Past performance information, including prior contracts of a similar nature or commercial equivalents.

4. To demonstrate eligibility at the time of quotation submission, offerors who are already registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) must include proof of active SAM registration with their quotation.

Offerors not currently registered in SAM must follow the instructions provided under provision FAR 52.204-90 Offeror Identification, contained in the Representations & Certifications, and must provide their Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.

After the compliance review, offers that do not meet the solicitation’s basic submission requirements or fail mandatory representations/certifications will be excluded from further consideration. Remaining offers will proceed to comparative evaluation based on technical capability, past performance, and price.

Factor 2: Technical Capability

• Technical capability will be evaluated to determine the degree to which the offeror’s proposed solution meets the solicitation requirements and provides value to the Government.

• Emphasis will be on the quality, feasibility, and strength of the proposed solution, and whether the quotation offers any comparative technical advantages over other offers.

• Evaluation will be comparative among all responsive offers and may support selection of a technically superior solution, even if priced higher.

Factor 3: Past Performance

• Past performance will be considered to assess the offeror’s demonstrated ability to successfully perform relevant commercial or government contracts.

• Evaluation will focus on quality of services performed, timeliness of performance, customer satisfaction, and record of compliance with contractual requirements.

• If past performance information is not available or limited, the offeror’s past performance will be rated as “Unknown.” A rating of “Unknown” will not automatically disqualify an offer but may be treated as neutral in comparative assessments.

• Comparative assessment may be used as a discriminator to support selection of a technically or commercially superior offer, where justified.

Factor 4: Price

• Price will be evaluated primarily for reasonableness relative to the scope of commercial services being acquired. In accordance with FAR 12.204(a), the price reasonableness on competitive offers will be evaluated. Reasonableness will be assessed using the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and market comparisons.

Responsibility Determination:

The Government will determine contractor responsibility by analyzing whether the apparent successful offeror complies with the requirements of FAR 9.1, including:

a. adequate financial resources or the ability to obtain them;

b. ability to comply with the required performance period, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments;

c. satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics;

d. necessary organization, experience, and skills or the ability to obtain them;

e. necessary equipment and facilities or the ability to obtain them; and

f. otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

Award Without Discussions Pursuant to FAR 52.212-1(d), the Government reserves the right to award a BPA without discussions based on initial offers. Upon completion of the Government’s initial evaluation of quotations, exchanges with offerors may occur, for the purpose of clarifications and communications in accordance with FAR Part 12. This is a commercial acquisition for which debriefing is not required, and none will be provided. Requests for information will be addressed in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(d).
