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 offers:

Technical – Ability to provide seven (7) Physical Science Technicians as evidenced by the offeror submitting pricing for all Physical Science Technicians.

Acceptable: Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Proposal clearly does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Past Performance – This factor will be rated as either “acceptable” or “unacceptable”.

Table A-2. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Price – Price will be evaluated using various price analysis techniques and procedures IAW FAR 15.404-1(b) including, but not limited to, comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation with a comparison to historical prices paid, whether by the Government or other than Government, for the same or similar items. Evaluation of price will include a determination that the price is fair and reasonable.

EVALUATION PROCESS:

Award will be made using the lowest-price, technically-acceptable source selection process. The Government will initially list proposals from lowest to highest price.

The Government will evaluate the lowest priced proposal first. If that proposal is determined technically unacceptable, the Government will evaluate the next lowest priced proposal and continue in that manner until a proposal is rated Technically Acceptable. If a proposal is rated Technically Unacceptable, the Government will not evaluate any other factor. USING THIS PROCEDURE, THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT NOT EVALUATE ALL PROPOSALS.

(b) Options. 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. 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.
