52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is determined to be the lowest priced technically acceptable offer with acceptable past performance. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Capability

Factor 2: Past Performance

Factor 3: Price

(1) Factor 1: Technical Capability

(A) Technical capability will be evaluated based on an evaluation of Technical Capability Factor; the factor will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable.

Acceptable is defined as the quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable is defined as the quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(B) Technical Capability Factor: Offeror shall propose an effective staffing approach (see Attachment 4, Contractor Staffing Plan) with relevant experience, qualifications, and expertise to successfully fulfill ALL PWS requirements.

(2) Factor 2: Past Performance

(A) Past Performance Citation Assessment - The Government will perform an independent assessment of the citations provided, to include any other citation the Government finds from other sources. Each past performance citation will be rated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis (see definitions below). These ratings will be based on information that may be obtained from telephone calls to points of contact listed on the citations, as well as sources of information obtained by the Contracting Officer.

(B) Past Performance Relevancy Area - Provide citations which are similar in nature to this solicited requirement. To be considered relevant, offeror must demonstrate ability to provide music direction and accompaniment to a wide spectrum of people.

The Offeror must receive an Acceptable rating to receive an award. This rating is based upon past performance information as follows:

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “Unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable.

(3) Factor 3: Price

(A) Price will be evaluated in order to determine if it is reasonable in accordance with FAR Parts 13.106-3 and 15.4. The offeror shall insert its proposed unit and extended prices in the table in Attachment 2, Contractor Submittal Form. Failure to include all prices may exclude the offeror from further consideration for award, as the Government may award without discussions. However, the Government does reserve the right to conduct discussions.

(b) AWARD PROCESS: The Government will first evaluate all quotes for responsiveness and then on an acceptable or unacceptable basis determine whether the quote meets the requirements defined in Factor 1, Technical Capability. The Government will then evaluate past performance on an acceptable/unacceptable basis to determine whether the quote meets the specifications defined in Factor 2, Past Performance. Quotes will then be ranked according to price. The offeror who submits the lowest price and meets or exceeds the specifications defined in Factor 1, Technical Capability, and Factor 2, Past Performance, will receive the award. The award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offerors.

(c) 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).

(d) 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.
