FAR Provisions incorporated in full text:

52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will provide the lowest-priced, technical acceptable solution to the Government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

• Factor 1 - Technical Acceptability

• Factor 2 - Price

Factor 1 – Technical Acceptability: Quotes will be evaluated for technical acceptability in order based on their total evaluated price. Only the lowest priced quote will be evaluated until it is determined the lowest priced quote does not meet technical acceptability criteria. At the point it is determined the quote does not meet technical acceptability criteria the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability. This process will continue until a technically acceptable quote is identified. If no quote is technically acceptable upon evaluation of initial quotes, or if the Government determines it necessary, the Government reserves the right to enter into discussions.

Factor 2 – Price: The total evaluated price of a quote will be determined by summing the total price of the base period and the total price of each option period.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote 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.
