FAR 52.212-2 -Commercial Products (NOV 2021)

1.0 GENERAL

If it is determined that the quotation is substantially not in compliance with the instructions above, the Government may deem that quotation to be unacceptable and it will not be evaluated further. The quotation may be removed from consideration for contract award.

2.0 EVALUATIONS METHODOLOGY

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The Government intends to determine the best value outcome by utilizing the Lowest Price

Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. LPTA is when best value is expected to result from selection of a technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price. The following factors shall be used to evaluate Quotes:

• Technical (non-price): The Quoter’s quotation will be evaluated for technical acceptability that most closely match the identified BEP requirement in the RFQ. An evaluation rating of

ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE will be assigned upon completion of the evaluation.

If the Quoter receives a rating of “Unacceptable,” the Quoter will not be considered for award.

• The Government will evaluate price to determine fair and reasonableness. The Government will use any combination of the price analysis techniques stipulated under FAR Subpart

13.106-3.

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.
