FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (APR 2026) Addenda To FAR 52.212-2:

(a) The Government intends to award one (1) Purchase Order resulting from this solicitation to the responsive, responsible Offeror whose offer, conforming to this solicitation, will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered using the Lowest Technically Acceptable Price process, with the lowest overall price for ALL CLINs. To be considered for award, a quote must be provided for all CLINS. Award will be made on all or none basis. Technical tradeoffs will not be made, and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability.

The Government will evaluate the proposed estimated total price between offers that are determined to be technically acceptable. The Government intends to make an award based on the initial quote received; therefore, the initial quote should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors must be determined to be responsible according to the standards of FAR Part 9 to be eligible for award.

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the quote. Before the quotes specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(c) Quotes shall be evaluated for acceptability or unacceptability only and shall not be rated. Any Offeror who has submitted a technically acceptable quote and who has been found to have an acceptable past performance WILL THEN have the quote evaluated for lowest price.

(d) The award decision process is being conducted under FAR Part 12, wherein the Contracting Officer is permitted to engage in communications with individual contractors about their quotes without being subject to the policies and procedures of FAR Part 15, and without engaging in "discussions" or "negotiations" under FAR Part 15.

(e) The Government reserves the right to make a final determination whether a quote is acceptable or unacceptable solely based on the information submitted and proceed without requesting additional information.

(f) Non-price factors shall be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. To be considered acceptable and eligible for award, an Offeror must address separately all the factors set forth in accordance with the instructions of this solicitation.

(g) A major item and/or gross omission which precludes meeting solicitation objectives that cannot be corrected prior to or during communications without major revision or complete resubmission of the quote will cause a quote to be found technically unacceptable.

(h) The following non-price factors shall be used to determine acceptability of a quote:

a. Factor 1: Technical Capability

b. Factor 2: Past Performance

FACTOR 1: Technical Capability

To be Technically Acceptable:

Quoters must have demonstrated their technical capability, understanding of the requirements, and ability to provide a services that meet the Performance Work Statement.

FACTOR 2: Past Performance

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s Past Performance to determine acceptability of the quote in response to this solicitation. Past Performance will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis and shall not be rated. The offeror will be evaluated on their past performance record and any other relevant information obtained from available sources which may include: Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at https://www.cpars.gov; or other databases.

In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the PSC of the supplies being purchased, the supplier will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered acceptable.

Should the Government discover adverse past performance information to which the Offeror had not had a prior opportunity to respond, the Contracting Officer will conduct communications if deemed appropriate.

Price

If a quote has been determined acceptable under each of the non-price factors listed above, the Government will then evaluate the quote for the lowest price.

The proposed lowest total price (the sum of the total amount for all CLINS) between offers that are determined to be technically acceptable will be the determining factor in the selection of a quote for award. Government will perform a price analysis to determine the reasonableness of proposed price in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). The Government will utilize a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation.

a. Award will be based on the overall lowest priced quote that meets or exceeds the acceptability standards for the non-cost factors.

b. Options (if they are part of the solicitation). 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).
