Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Feb 2026) (Deviation 2026-O0038)

(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. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

[Insert evaluation factors in the relative order of importance. For requests for proposals, state: Evaluation factors other than price when combined are [significantly more important than price/approximately equal to price/significantly less important] than price. For invitations for bids, list only price and price-related factors.]

a. Technical. The technical rating reflects the degree to which the offer meets or does not meet the requirements listed in Attachment 1. Technical Acceptable/ Unacceptable Rating Method Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Offer meets the requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Offer does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

b. Past Performance. Past performance will be rated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis at the overall factor level using the ratings shown below. Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method Adjectival 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 does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. i. Past performance information may be obtained from any sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). ii. In the case of an offeror without a record of past performance, or for whom information on past performance is so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have “Unknown” past performance. In the context of acceptable/unacceptable, “Unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable”.

c. Price. Prices will be evaluated inclusive of transportation charges from the shipping point to the delivery destination. Prompt payment discounts may be included but will not be considered when evaluating the prices of offers.

(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 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.

(End of provision)
