This amendment updates clause 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIALPRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

Questions and Answers will be posted later.

CONTINUATION PAGE

E.9 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) This is a commercial service acquisition under the authority of FAR Part 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. FAR Parts 14 and 15 are not being used. In accordance with FAR Part 13 procedures, the solicitation identifies each evaluation factor but does not assign relative importance to each factor.

Contract award will be made based on the solicitation response that represents the best value to the Government using a Contracting Officer’s Comparative Analysis. Since the Contracting Officer is considering price and other factors, the CO may award to other than the lowest-priced offer. The information below explains the evaluation approach:

The Contracting Officer will make a comparative analysis of all offers against the solicitation, using the following factors to decide which offer(s) represent the best value to the Government:

Factor 1: Technical Proposal The offer shall be evaluated on the conformance to the requirements listed in the Statement of Work. The offeror shall submit a technical proposal, that describes the means and methods of successfully performing all work detailed in the SOW to include the personnel being proposed to perform the work.

Factor 2: Past Performance Offeror shall provide no more than three references of relatively the same size and complexity. Include the following information for each contract: Name and address of contracting activity (company name), contract number, type of contract, total contract amount, and status, date of award and completion, description and location of contract work, list of major subcontractors if any, Contracting Officer or individual responsible for signing the contract, and their telephone and fax number, and the COR’s/Administrator’s name, telephone and fax numbers. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the offeror’s corrective action. Searches in CPARS (Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System), PPIRs (Past Performance Information Retrieval System), as well as Past Performance Questionnaires may be utilized.

Factor 3: SDVOSB/VOSB Status

Offeror shall identify themselves as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and must have an active registration in the Small Business Administration’s Small Business Certification (VetCert) database at https://veterans.certify.sba.gov.

Factor 4: Price – Offerors shall provide one copy of the fully completed Price Schedule in the format listed above. Proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness.

(b) Options. 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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise 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.

Technical Factors and non-price factors when combined are more significant than price.
