52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS–COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL

SERVICES (Deviation Nov 2025)

52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Deviation Nov 2025)

(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:

https://www.ipp.gov/ mailto:IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov

BASIS OF AWARD The Government will award a fixed-price purchase order, resulting from this RFQ, to the responsible vendor whose quote is the lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) offer.

MEETING THE RFQ SPECIFICATIONS Per the combined synopsis/solicitation, in order to meet the RFQ Specifications, Offerers will be evaluated to determine if they successfully filled out the SF- 1449, provided their UEI, email address, and provide documentation that their quote meets the SOW requirement, to include documentation quote meets the Safe Drinking Water Standards for Californian State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) California Surface Water Treatment Rule and Division of Drinking Water (DDW).

Technical Evaluation of Offerers will be conducted in price order, starting with the lowest priced Offerer. The second-lowest priced Offerer is evaluated next, and so on. Once the Government has determined that two (2) Offerers are technically acceptable, the Government will not evaluate additional Offerers for technical acceptability as adequate price competition has been met with the two

(2) technically acceptable lowest priced Offerers. As a result, not all quotes received may be evaluated for technical acceptability.

In order to be determined technically acceptable, Offerers must meet the below requirements:

Technical: Offerer provide documentation the product they are quoting meets or exceeds everything listed in Attachment #1 SOW. Offerer provide a confirmation statement that they quoted firm fixed price on the SF-1449 included F.O.B. Destination shipping to the address in the Attachment #1 SOW.

NAICS Check: Offerer is self-certified as a small business under the NAICS 333310, Commerical and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. The Government will verify this information in SAM.gov.

Price: Offerer completed and submitted their pricing on the SF-1449. Should only one (1) Offerer be determined technically acceptable, price evaluation techniques found in FAR 13.106-3(a) will be used to determine a fair and reasonable price.

(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)

The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract."

(c) The offeror shall also specifically identify trade secret information and confidential commercial and financial information on the pages of the proposal on which it appears and shall mark each such page with the following legend:

"This page contains trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and which is subject to the legend contained on the cover page of this proposal."

(d) Information in a proposal identified by an offeror as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information shall be used by the Government only for the purpose of evaluating the proposal, except that (i) if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information as provided in the contract, and (ii) if the same information is obtained from another source without restriction it may be used without restriction.

(e) If a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeks access to information in a proposal identified as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information, full consideration will be given to the offeror's view that the information constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information. The offeror will also be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide additional evidence and argument in support of its position, unless administratively unfeasible to do so. If it is determined that information claimed by the offeror to be trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, the offeror will be notified of this determination prior to disclosure of the information.

(f) The Government assumes no liability for the disclosure or use of information contained in a proposal if not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision. If a request under the Freedom of Information Act is made for information in a proposal not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and

(c) of this provision, the offeror concerned shall be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide its position to the Government. However, failure of an offeror to mark information contained in a proposal as trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information will be treated by the Government as evidence that the information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, absent a showing that the failure to mark was due to unusual or extenuating circumstances, such as a showing that the offeror had intended to mark, but that markings were omitted from the offeror's proposal due to clerical error.
