FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services: The Government will award a contract to the responsible quoter whose quotation conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process outlined in FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3), where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations. Responses to this solicitation shall contain sufficient information to conduct a comparative evaluation of the following factors:

a) Technical: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent in which it can meet or exceed the Government’s requirements outlined in the Statement of Work

b) Past performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a quoter’s likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by the quoter’s record of past performance. The past performance evaluation may be based on the contracting officer’s knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; Customer surveys, and past performance questionnaire replies; Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other reasonable basis.

Non-SDVOSB/VOSB quotations that use SDVOSBs or VOSBs as subcontractors will receive some consideration under this evaluation Factor. Quoters must state in their quotations the names of the SDVOSBs and VOSBs with whom they intend to subcontract and provide a brief description of the proposed subcontracts and the approximate dollar values of the proposed subcontracts. In addition, the proposed subcontractors must be registered and verified in the SBA VetCert database (https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/) and must meet federal small business size standards for the NAICS code assigned to this solicitation at time of both quotation submission and at time of award.
