Provisions

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

M.1 Basis for Award

Award will be made to the responsible Offeror submitting the lowest evaluated price whose quotation is determined to be technically acceptable and whose past performance is determined to be acceptable, if evaluated.

The Government intends to evaluate quotations without discussions but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined to be in the Government's best interest.

M.2 Technical Acceptability

The Government will evaluate the quotation on an acceptable/unacceptable basis.

To be rated Acceptable, the quotation must demonstrate that the Offeror meets all material requirements of the solicitation, including the specifications, salient characteristics, delivery requirements, and any mandatory technical requirements.

Quotations rated Unacceptable are ineligible for award.

M.3 Past Performance

Past performance will be evaluated as Acceptable, Unacceptable, or Neutral (if no relevant past performance is available).

The Government may evaluate information obtained from CPARS, questionnaires, or other sources permitted by FAR.

M.4 Price

The Government will evaluate the total evaluated price identified in Section B. The Government may evaluate prices for reasonableness and, when applicable, completeness. Award will be made to the technically acceptable Offeror with the lowest evaluated 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)

Past Performance Submission Requirements

CPARS will be used for past performance information. In the event that no information is available in CPARS, offerors may use the past performance questionnaire attached to this solicitation to satisfy the requirement.

Offerors shall submit evidence of recent and relevant past performance demonstrating successful performance of work similar in scope, size, and complexity to the requirements of this solicitation.

The Offeror shall provide no more than three (3) references for contracts or orders performed within the past five (5) years from the date of solicitation issuance. The Government may consider contracts currently in progress if sufficient performance history exists.

The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any source it considers appropriate, including, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) legacy records (as applicable), Contractor Performance Assessment reports maintained by other Federal agencies, commercial sources, questionnaires, and information obtained from Government personnel having first-hand knowledge of the Offeror's performance.

The Government is not required to contact all references submitted by the Offeror.

If an Offeror does not possess a record of relevant past performance or information is not available, the Offeror shall not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv).

The Offeror is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all submitted past performance information.
