52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS and COMMERCIAL SERVICES (AUG 2025)

(DEVIATION 25-21)

(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. Quotes/Offers will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method. Quotes will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis for technical acceptability, and the award will go to the lowest-priced compliant.

The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

i. Price

ii. Technical (non-price)

VOLUME I: PRICE.

To be considered for award, the vendor shall complete and submit the Courier Services Quotation Pricing Sheet Attachment 2) for all five (5) years. The quoter shall insert its proposed price, in the appropriate cell, for each location listed in the Pricing Sheet.

PRICE EVALUATION:

The Contracting Specialist (CS) will receive all quotes and review them for compliance with the instructions listed in this Solicitation. The CS will evaluate the proposed price separately per year and the overall total price including options. To determine the total price quoted for each year, the CS will add the quoted price, separately, per year. All sub-totals will then be added together to derive a cumulative total price. This will be the evaluated price to be evaluated by the Government for price reasonableness. The CS will then perform a price evaluation to identify the lowest priced quote and will send the technical portion of the quote to the Technical Expert (TE) for a technical evaluation.

VOLUME II: TECHNICAL (NON-PRICE). (ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE)

To be considered for award, the contractor must at least be able to meet the minimum technical requirements listed in Section C, D and E of the Statement of Work (SOW).

TECHNICAL EVALUATION:

The Government will evaluate the technical portion of the quote which should be sufficiently specific, detailed and complete as to clearly and fully demonstrate that the quoter has a thorough understanding of the requirements set for in this solicitation.

The CS will identify the lowest priced quote and will send the technical portion of the quote to the Technical Expert to be technically evaluated and determined if it meets the minimum technical requirements as stated in the SOW. If the lowest price does not meet the minimum technical requirements, the next lowest price will be sent to the TE for technical evaluation. This process will continue until the lowest price technically acceptable is reached.

BASIS FOR AWARD:

To be considered for award, the vendor shall complete and submit the Quotation Pricing Sheet (Attachment 2) for all five (5) years. Additionally, the technical portion of the quote should be sufficiently specific, detailed and complete as to clearly and fully demonstrate that the quoter has a thorough understanding of the requirements set for in this solicitation without having to hold discussions.

(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, along with the contract document, will be furnished to the successful Offeror. To have a binding contract, the award document must be signed by both parties. The offeror shall review the award, agree to the terms and conditions and return a signed copy to the government. The contracting officer will then sign and fully execute the contract. A copy of the fully executed contract will be provided to the successful Offeror.
