52.212-2 – Evaluation – Commercial Products and Services (Nov 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Noncompliance with the solicitation requirements will raise serious concern regarding a quoter’s technical ability to fulfill this requirement and may be grounds to eliminate the quote from further consideration for contract award. The following non- price factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

· Technical Specifications

· Delivery

· Price

While price will be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final contract award will be based on a combination of factors - a combination of price and technically acceptable low bids. The relative importance of the factors is as follows technical acceptance more important than price.

Price: The Government will evaluate the quoted prices to determine if they are fair and reasonable. The price quote shall include a unit price for each item and a total firm-fixed-price for all line items. The evaluated price will be determined by adding the sum of the extended pricing for CLIN 0001.

Each Vendor’s price quote must be based on the Government’s specifications and other contractual requirements. If the prices to be used are based on a published price list or catalog, the Vendor shall so state and provide a copy of the document with its price quote. If the prices are to be based on established market prices, not otherwise published, or are prices applicable only to the proposed contract, the Vendor shall so state.

The Government intends to award without discussions; however, the Government may conduct discussions if determined necessary. Each quoter should recognize that its initial price and non-price quote may be used as the sole and final basis for award and should quote accordingly.

Evaluations will be based solely on the materials included in the quotes. Therefore, the Vendor’s initial quote should contain their best terms. After receipt of quotes, the Government will conduct an evaluation. However, during the evaluation process, the Government may, solely at its discretion, communicate with quoters regarding clarification of quote elements. At any time prior to selection, including upon receipt of quotes, the Government may exclude a quote from further consideration for any material failure to follow instructions or including the omission of required information.

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor 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.
