(3) The Offeror’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the

Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is

“late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting

Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (NOV 2021) (Deviation AUG

2025) (effective November 28, 2025)

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the

Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

(i) Price; and

(ii) Technical Acceptability

Acceptable: Quote conforms to the requirements, specifications, and submission instructions stated in the combined synopsis solicitation and SOW; and provides all required documentation, in accordance with

SOW, in its entirety.

Unacceptable: Quote does not include ALL items required in the combined synopsis solicitation and

SOW; and documentation is determined to be unacceptable upon technical review.

Offerors receiving an unacceptable rating for its Technical Factor will not receive further consideration.

Basis for award is Lowest-Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Technical is approximately equal to price.

(b) Options (if applicable). 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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.

(End of provision)
