The Government will evaluate quotations and make award using the method below. This language constitutes the tailored fill-in for FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (RFO 12.205(a)(2)), and includes all evaluation factors and criteria for award.

Evaluation. The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this RFQ to the responsible quoter whose quotation conforms to the requirements of this solicitation and offers the lowest price determined to be fair and reasonable. Technical merit will not be evaluated beyond conformance to the specification / statement of work / salient characteristics; nonconforming quotations may be rejected. The Government intends to make one award on the basis of price and conformance to the requirement and may make award without communications.

Price. The Government will determine price to be fair and reasonable, based whenever possible on adequate price competition. Price will be evaluated inclusive of transportation charges to destination and by adding the prices for all CLINs / option periods to the base requirement. Prompt payment discounts will not be considered in the price evaluation.

Quotation is not an offer. A quotation is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Any resulting purchase order is the Government's offer to the quoter; a binding contract is formed only when the quoter accepts the purchase order, either by written acceptance or by commencing performance. (RFO 12.201-1(b))

Late quotations. The Government will consider all quotations received by the date and time specified above and may, consistent with good business judgment, consider a quotation received after the due date and time. (RFO 12.203(c)(1))
