SECTION 7 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

7.1 ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND

COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) 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 shall be used to evaluate proposals: Technical Acceptability and Price. This acquisition will be conducted using the policies prescribed in FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, in conjunction with the procedures of FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, and award will be made using the lowest-price-technically-acceptable source selection process (as described in FAR 15.101-2).

Award will be made on the basis of the total lowest evaluated price per CLIN for each proposal meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

The Government anticipates award of multiple contracts.

(End of clause)

7.2 EVALUATION PROCESS

(1) Offerors will be checked against the List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Non-procurement programs. Offerors who appear on the List will be eliminated without further consideration.

(2) The Government will establish a price ranking of the CLIN from lowest to highest based on the total evaluated price. The lowest price will be evaluated for technical acceptability.

If the lowest price is determined to be technically acceptable, then award will be made to that Offeror for the CLIN.

(3) If the Government is unable to make a technical acceptability/unacceptability determination for the lowest priced offer, the Government reserves the right to hold exchanges only with the lowest priced Offeror prior to evaluating the second lowest priced proposal for the CLIN. Proposal revisions will not be accepted.

(4) If after exchanges conclude and the lowest priced proposal for the CLIN is determined technically acceptable, award will be made to that Offeror. If after exchanges conclude and the lowest priced proposal for the CLIN is determined not technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the second lowest priced proposal for technical acceptability.

This process will continue until the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal is identified for the CLIN.

(5) When the Contracting Officer determines exchanges on matters unrelated to technical acceptability (e.g., industry terms and conditions such as a warranty clause or pricing omissions, discrepancies or other irregularities preventing the Government from determining an Offeror’s total evaluated price) to be necessary, the Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges to resolve these matters.

(6) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer will be furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer and 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)
