(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2)

(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

6.0 FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) LPTA Procedures: The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract to the responsible vendor whose proposal, while conforming to the solicitation, is most advantageous to the Government using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) competitive procedures. The determination of “most advantageous” will be based on the technically acceptable proposal that offers the lowest price among those proposals submitted, and offers a fair and reasonable price.

“Technical Acceptability” will be determined solely based on the vendor’s ability to satisfy all of the Government requirements. Proposals that do not meet all of the requirements specified will not be considered for award.

http://www.sam.gov/ http://www.sam.gov/ https://www.acquisition.gov/

The following technical factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Ability of the vendor to meet the Government’s minimum requirements – The Government will evaluate the information provided under Paragraph 5.0 (b)(4) of this solicitation to determine if it meets the Government requirements.

• Total number of loans in each market segment - Meets the minimum requirements identified in Section 2.3 of the solicitation;

• Acknowledgement that it meets all other minimum requirements of the solicitation – Meets the minimum requirements identified in the solicitation.

2. Price - To be considered for award, the Offeror must provide completed Rate Tables in accordance with Paragraph 1.0 of this solicitation. The Lowest priced offeror will be determined based upon the Total Evaluated Price as provided in the completed Rate Table at 1.0. The Total Evaluated Price, consisting of the total proposed in the base and each option year, will be evaluated for realism and reasonableness.

(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.

7.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION RATING SCALE.

The Government will assess each of the proposals against the solicitation using the following ratings:

Acceptable The proposal meets all requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable The proposal fails to meet one or more of the minimum requirements identified in the solicitation. Proposals with an unacceptable rating will not be considered for award.
