52.212‐2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows:

(a) The Government will evaluate offers submitted in response to this solicitation and award a contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is deemed most advantageous to the Government, considering both price and other relevant factors. The evaluation of offers will be based on the following criteria:

(i) Technical Capability: The extent to which the offered service meets the specific requirements of the Government.

(ii) Price: The total cost proposed by the offeror for the required service. The lowest-priced offer will be evaluated first for technical acceptability and overall value to the Government. If the lowest-priced offer is found to be technically acceptable and offers the best value, the contract will be awarded to that offeror without further consideration. However, if the lowest-priced offer is found to be technically unacceptable, the Government will evaluate the next lowest offer in terms of technical acceptability until a contract can be awarded to the lowest-priced offeror that meets the technical requirements. Evaluation of past performance will not be conducted as part of this solicitation. Therefore, offerors are advised to present their best terms concerning price and technical capabilities in their initial offers. The Government, however, reserves the right to engage in discussions with offerors if deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer at a later stage. Offers that fail to provide required representations or essential information, or those that reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation, may be excluded from further consideration during the evaluation process.

(End of provision)

52.237-1 Site Visit

As prescribed in 37.110(a), insert the following provision:

Site Visit (Apr 1984)

Offerors or quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.

(End of provision)

5352.201-9101 ACC OMBUDSMAN (JUN 2023)

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.

(b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution.

Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).

(c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, [Insert names, addresses, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, and e-mail addresses of Center/MAJCOM/FLDCOM/DRU/DAFRCO ombudsman/ombudsmen]. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the Center/MAJCOM/FLDCOM/DRU ombudsman level, may be brought by the interested party for further consideration to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (571) 256-2395, facsimile number (571) 256-2431.

(d) The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency.

(e) Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the contracting officer.

(End of clause)
