52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (AUG 2025) (DEVIATION 25-21)

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

• Factor 1 – Management Approach

• Factor 2 – Technical Approach

• Factor 3 – Past Performance

• Factor 4 – Price

Proposals will be evaluated using the best value tradeoff process in accordance with FAR Part 15. The evaluation will consider the following factors:

Order of Importance: Non-Price factors (Management Approach, Technical Approach, and Past Performance) are equally important. Non-Price factors (Management Approach, Technical Approach, and Past Performance) when combined, are more important than Price. As quotations approach equality in confidence rating on non-price factors, Price will become increasingly important.

Evaluation Methodology

Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity contract(s) will be awarded to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal, in compliance with the solicitation, is determined to be most advantageous to the Government based on the evaluation factors outlined in the solicitation.

The Government will evaluate Factors 1 –2 using confidence ratings. The Government will identify strengths, deficiencies, significant weaknesses, risks and/or benefits in each offer, and assign a rating using the confidence ratings and definitions below. Deficiency is defined as any part of an offer that does not conform to a material requirement of a RFP. A material requirement is one that affects price, quantity, quality, or delivery, or that the RFP requires to be met at the time of proposal submission.

Weakness means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. A

“significant weakness” in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Table 1 – Confidence Ratings

High Confidence The Government has high confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no Government intervention.

Some Confidence

The Government has some confidence that the Offeror understands the performing the contract with some Government intervention.

Low Confidence

The Government has low confidence that the Offeror understands the performing the contract even with Government intervention.

The Government will evaluate Factor 3 using performance risks. The Government will identify risks in each offer, and assign a rating using the following ratings and definitions:

Table 2 – Performance Risks Risk Definitions

Low Based on the offeror's past performance and systemic improvement record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Moderate Based on the offeror's past performance and systemic improvement record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

High Based on the offeror's past performance and systemic improvement record, substantial doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown No past performance record identifiable. (Not applicable to Experience Factor.)

Management Approach: The USSS will evaluate the management approach factor by assessing the offeror’s management approach summary. A confidence rating will be assigned based on the content of Volume I that demonstrates the Government’s confidence in the quoter’s proposed approach to successfully perform the services outlined in the SOW. The Government will assess whether the offeror’s management approach demonstrates: (1) the capacity to recruit, hire, retain, or subcontract qualified personnel to install and remove perimeter-security assets for NSSEs; and (2) the ability to staff, through the same means, the technical-consulting roles needed for planning, developing, and implementing NSSE perimeter-security services. Emphasis will be placed on the vendor’s ability to effectively coordinate logistics, communicate, adhere to schedules, and demonstrate corporate experience in managing similar projects.

Technical Approach: The USSS will evaluate the technical approach factor by assessing the offeror’s technical approach summary. A confidence rating will be assigned based on the content of Volume II that demonstrates the Government’s confidence in the quoter’s proposed approach to successfully perform the services outlined in the SOW. The Government will assess whether the offeror’s technical approach shows it can supply all specified perimeter-security assets in the quantities required for NSSE events. A critical focus will be on the vendor’s ability to meet the requirements outlined in the SOW, including sourcing, delivery, installation, maintenance, and removal of perimeter assets.

Past Performance: The USSS will evaluate past performance based on recency and relevancy. Recency is defined as current or previous work within the last five (5) years of the solicitation issue date.

Relevancy is defined as work similar in scope, size, and complexity to the SOW requirement.

Performance that is bigger in scope, size and complexity will be considered more relevant than work that is smaller in scope, size, and complexity. The Government is seeking assurances of consistently successful performance in the areas of quality, schedule, and management. A performance risk (or neutral) rating will be assigned based on the content of Volume III, along with reference checks.

In the event that a quoter does not have recent and relevant organizational past performance, it will receive a neutral rating instead of a performance risk rating. A neutral rating does not give an advantage or disadvantage to the quoter; however, the Government may, in a technical/price tradeoff, determine that a lower performance risk rating is worth more than a Neutral past performance rating. In the event that the Government does not find the quoter-provided past performance to be recent and relevant, the quoter will receive a neutral rating for this factor instead of a performance risk rating.

The Contracting Officer may gather information from quoter-provided references, commercial and federal sources, including CPARS and SAM. Additional outreach, such as reviews of articles and publications, may be conducted to assess performance risk. If negative past performance information is identified, quoters will have an opportunity to comment unless they previously addressed it in CPARS. CPARS records older than five years may also be reviewed.

Price: Price will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness. To account for the option periods possible under 52.217-8 (maximum of six months), Option to Extend Services, the Government will evaluate the option to extend services by adding six months of the quoter’s final option period price to the quoter’s total price. This amount will be the total evaluated price. The Government may choose to exercise the Option to Extend Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods). Prices for the base and option periods, including the 6-month option available under FAR 52.217-8, will be evaluated to ensure that they are fair and reasonable for performance of the requirements established in the solicitation and as proposed in the technical submission. The price for the effort associated with FAR 52.217-8 will not be included in the total awarded value at contract award. If, at the end of the contract’s period of performance (the end of the base period or any option period) and within the time period established in the clause, the Government chooses to exercise this option, the pricing will be pursuant to the rates specified in the contract for the preceding performance period.

(b) Options (if applicable). 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. 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 an offer 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.
