FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (Oct 2014) has been tailored to this procurement and is provided in full-text below:

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose quote conforming to this solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Price: The Government will select the proposal with the lowest Total Evaluated Price

(TEP) which meets or exceeds the acceptability standards for non-price factors.

2. Technical Capability Narrative: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Technical

Capability Narrative for acceptability based on the requirements within the PWS. In the

Technical Capability Narrative, the Offeror shall describe how they will perform the services IAW with the PWS. Simply restating the PWS will not qualify as an adequate technical response.

3. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s submitted Past

Performance for acceptability based on an internal assessment to determine quality of work. Note: IAW FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), in the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is unavailable or is so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the

Offeror shall be determined to have unknown, or “neutral”, past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral shall be considered “acceptable”.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s submitted performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s submitted performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the requirement.

The Government will rank the quotes from lowest TEP to highest TEP.

The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) is a two-part computation. First, the offeror’s total proposed price will by multiplying the quantities identified in the Pricing Schedule by the Unit Price

(limited to two decimal places) for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN); the sum of all extended amounts will be the offeror’s total proposed price. Second, the total proposed price

(total amount for all CLINs) plus the sum of FAR Clause 52.214-8 Option to Extend Services formula (shown below) will constitute the TEP.

The formula for the FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services amount is as follows:

Base Year = CLIN Unit Amount X 6

Option Year 1 = CLIN Unit Amount X 6

Option Year 2 = CLIN Unit Amount X 6

Option Year 3 = CLIN Unit Amount X 6

Option Year 4 = CLIN Unit Amount X 6

Evaluating the Option CLINS and Option to Extend Services does not obligate the Government to exercise the Options and/or Extend Services.

Next, the Government will evaluate the Technical Capability on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, starting with the quote with the lowest TEP. The “acceptable” and “unacceptable” definitions are as follows:

Acceptable: Technical Capability Narrative clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Technical Capability Narrative does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Any factor that is unacceptable will render the entire quote unacceptable and, therefore, not awardable. The quote with the next lowest TEP will then be technically evaluated.

If the quote with the lowest TEP is judged to have an acceptable technical rating and the Offeror responsible, it will then be evaluated for acceptable past performance. If the quote is found to have acceptable past performance, award will be made without further consideration of any other quotes received.

If the quote with the lowest TEP is found technically unacceptable, the Government will evaluate the next quote with the next lowest TEP for technical acceptability until an award can be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable Offeror having acceptable past performance.

If the Government finds any unacceptable past performance of a technically acceptable quote, the Government will evaluate quote with the next lowest TEP for technical acceptability and past performance acceptability.

Quotes that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the combined synopsis and solicitation, may be excluded from consideration of contract award.

Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information in the format specified in 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors --, Commercial Items of this solicitation. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quotes. Exchanges conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for quote revision. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective Offerors, however, will reserve the right to conduct them if deemed in its best interest.
