Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

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

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

The award resulting from this solicitation will be a FFP purchase order. The Government will award this requisition based on LPTA source selection process to the Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Far Part 9 Contractor Qualifications and whose proposal confirms to all contract requirements.

1. Technical Capability

Offerors shall provide the required Closed Cycle Cryostat for Microscope in accordance with the Statement of Requirements (SOR). To be determined technically acceptable, an offeror must submit a quote that does not take exception to any term of the solicitation. The contracting officer will use the following rating table:

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable

1. Proposal does not take exception to any term of solicitation and therefore clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

2. Proposed quote meets all the requirements in Section C "Minimal Technical Requirements/Salient Characteristics."

Unacceptable

1. Proposal takes exception to a solicitation term(s) and therefore does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. Proposed quote does not meet the requirements in Section C "Minimal Technical Requirements/Salient Characteristics" of the solicitation.

2. Price

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all CLINS to evaluate the total price for the requirement. The Contracting Officer will determine that the total price is fair and reasonable before awarding the task order.

3. Responsibility Determination

An award will only be made to an offeror that satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104-1.

The contracting officer may either make a responsibility determination without requesting any information from an offeror or require the offeror provide information to substantiate that it satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104-1. The information requested from an offeror will be specific to that offeror. For example, an offeror that the contracting officer is less familiar with may be required to provide information not required from another offeror. The contracting officer may consider an offeror's inability to promptly respond to a request for information as an indication the offeror is non-responsible since FAR 9.103(c) obligation prospective contractors to affirmatively demonstrate their responsibility.

When the contracting officer requests responsibility information, the contracting officer's request, the offeror's response, and all related communications between the Government and offeror are solely for the purpose of determining whether the offeror is responsible. These communications will not constitute discussions within the meaning of FAR 15.306 since the offeror will not be given an opportunity to revise its proposal.

While the contracting officer may require the offeror to provide any information related to the standards at FAR 9.104-1, the following are examples of information that may be required:

1. A demonstration, through information such as bank references and financial information (e.g., most current annual balance sheet,) that the offeror has adequate financial resources to perform the contract.

2. A demonstration the offeror's price is not so low as to call into question the offeror's capability to successfully perform the contract.

3. Past performance information on recent contracts for items similar to this requirement, including a point of contact for the Government activity or commercial entity customer.

4. A demonstration the offeror can comply with the required performance schedule, including a transition plan.

5. A demonstration the offeror has, or can obtain, the organizational, management and technical skills to successfully perform.

This demonstration may involve the particular personnel and approaches available to the offeror.

6. The offeror's quality assurance procedures.

7. The equipment and facilities the contractor will use.

8. Information demonstrating a proposed subcontractor satisfies the FAR 9.104-1 general standards of responsibility.

9. Completion of the 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items.

10. A demonstration the offeror isn't an inverted domestic corporation. 11. Certificate of registration of the company.

11. A demonstration the offeror has all registrations, permits and licenses required to perform the contract in the locations for which the offeror is proposing.

12. In the event the offeror is a joint venture, a Memorandum of Association which indicates who has the authority to bind the company.

Nothing in this provision limits the contracting officer's discretion to rely on information available from other sources (e.g., past performance data bases, discussions with other entities familiar with the offeror) or to use any other technique described FAR

9.1 when determining whether the offeror satisfies the FAR 9.104-1 general responsibility standards.
