52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

The Government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order as a result of this solicitation in accordance with FAR Part 12 “Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services” and FAR Part 13

“Simplified Acquisition Procedures.” Award will be made to the quoter whose quote is most advantageous to the Government under the selection criteria set forth in this solicitation. The Government will award on the basis of price unless the Contracting Officer is aware of past performance information related to the low price quote which indicates that quoter may not represent best value. In that case, the Government reserves the right to consider the past performance of other quotes, conduct a price, past performance tradeoff, and award to other than the lowest price quote.

The Government intends to award a delivery order without exchanges. The establishment of a competitive range is not anticipated. Accordingly, each offeror should submit its most favorable terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to establish a competitive range and conduct discussions if later determined by the PCO to be necessary. The Government reserves the right to award a FFP award to other than the lowest priced quoter; award a FFP purchase order without discussions; or award a FFP purchase order after discussions, whichever is in the best interest of the Government.

The selection of a quoter for award will be conducted in two phases. Phase I will consist of the evaluation of Factor I

– Technical Submission. Quoters receiving an “Acceptable” rating in Phase I shall move on to Phase II. Phase II will consist of the evaluation of Factor II – Price. All quoters with a rating of Acceptable for Factor I will be ranked by price in Phase II, the lowest price that is most advantageous to the Government will receive the award.

In order to be considered awardable, quotes must receive an overall rating of ‘Acceptable’ for Technical Submission.

Factor 1 - Technical Submission

Quoters will be evaluated on whether the statement entitled “Formlabs Authorized Dealer Certification Letter” is signed and certified that the quoter’s intended products will meet the minimum specifications in the solicitation.

Failure to submit a letter will result in ineligibility for award.

The below rating table will be used in the evaluation of the non-price Factor 1, Formlabs Authorized Dealer Certification Letter:

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Table Technical Ratings

Rating Description Acceptable Quoter meets the requirement of the solicitation

Unacceptable Quoter does not meets the requirement of the solicitation

NOTE: A rating of “Unacceptable” for Factor 1 means that the quoter’s quote is not awardable and is not susceptible to correction without what would be tantamount to the submission of an entirely new quote.

Factor 2 – Price The Government intends to award a firm-fixed priced purchase order to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation.

The price Quote shall include all elements of price and such other price information considered appropriate to support the Quote. The pricing information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

(a) SF1449 Section “Schedule of Supplies/Services” completed by the Quoter.

(b) All supplemental information to support quoted price.

(c) A complete and signed page 1 of the Standard Form 1449, “Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items” and executed copy of Amendments, if applicable.

(d) Unless completed in SAM, RFQ Section, Representation, Certification and Other Statements of Quoters- Completed by the Quoter.

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 quoter’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.
