FAR Provision *52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021), applies to this acquisition and the following evaluation is applicable:

(a) 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 shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Technical Evaluation. The evaluation team will review the descriptive literature to determine if offered products meet the brand name only necessity, as well as the service and testing requirements identified in this solicitation. The technical information will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis.

(2) Price Evaluation. The total evaluated price will be determined by adding together the extended amounts offered for each line item. The extended amounts will be confirmed by multiplying each line-item quantity by the offered unit price. If there is a conflict between the offered unit prices and extended amounts, the unit price shall be used to determine the total evaluated price. Any discounts identified in the quote will be included in the evaluation of the total evaluated price. No advantage will accrue to a vendor who submits a quote for an unreasonably low price. The lowest price quote may not necessarily be selected. Failure to quote for any line item may cause the vendor's quote to be considered nonresponsive and excluded from the evaluation. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness of the quote price.

(3) Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation will be based on the contracting officer's knowledge of and previous experience with the supplies being acquired and in accordance with DFARS 252.213-7000, Notice to Prospective Suppliers on Use of Supplier Performance Risk System in Past Performance Evaluations. An offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably if they do not have a record of past performance in SPRS under the PSC of the items being purchased.

In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/far2afmcfars/fardfars/far/52_000.htm#P1130_159445 to, the Contractor Performance Assessment reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA);the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.
