52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (RFO

DEVIATION MAR 2026)

(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:

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 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.

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

(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, to include all required certifications. Offerer provide a confirmation statement that they quoted firm fixed price on the SF-1449.

Those offerors that are not considered a small business under this NIACS will not be considered eligible for award.

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.
