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:

(i) Price; and

(ii) Technical Acceptability

Acceptable: Conforms to the requirements stated in the combined synopsis solicitation and PWS; and provides all required documentation, in accordance with PWS section 3, in its entirety.

Unacceptable: Quote does not include ALL items required by the PWS section 3; and documentation is determined to be unacceptable upon technical review. Offerors receiving an unacceptable rating for its Technical Factor will not receive further consideration.

Basis for award is Lowest-Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Technical is approximately equal to price.

(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.
