Evaluation Factors for Award FAR 52.212-2 Addendum, Evaluation Methodology B-1 BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This requirement will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation is determined to represent the best selection for the Government based on meeting price and condition acceptability. This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. By submission of its quote, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and condition requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub factors. The offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and condition evaluation. An "unacceptable" rating in any factor will result in the overall quote being rated "unacceptable" and the quote will therefore be ineligible for award. The Government may at its discretion also utilize information available from Government Past Performance collection systems to compare offerors and use this information as a discriminator when identifying the offer that represents the best selection. Quotes will be evaluated using FAR 13.106-2 procedures which permit comparative evaluation of offers. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process is by its nature subjective. Therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

An offer must be rated "acceptable" in order to be eligible for award. An "unacceptable" rating will result in the overall technical quote being rated "unacceptable" and the quote will therefore be ineligible for award. The Government will utilize the information provided by the offeror, along with information collected from other sources (i.e., other Government offices, commercial sources, etc.), in making an acceptability determination on condition. If an Offeror's quote on condition is determined to be Technically Unacceptable, no further evaluation will be conducted.
