FAR 52.212-2 (NOV 2021) is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following, per FAR 12.302(a) Basis for Contract Award and Evaluation of Quotations

(a) In accordance with FAR 13.106, the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, considering technical acceptability and price.

(b) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.

(c) Evaluation and award selection will be determined by the acceptability of your quote on an acceptable or unacceptable basis accomplished, then ranking acceptable quotes by price in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a).

(1) Acceptable: By submission of a quote, the quoter represents that it unconditionally assents to the terms of this Request for Quote, except for any written express exceptions. We will consider your quote acceptable if it:

(i) Conforms to the material solicitation requirements, including those terms affecting quality, quantity, price, or delivery;

(ii) Manifests your unconditional assent to the terms of this Request for Quote (RFQ); and

(iii) You are a responsible, prospective contractor pursuant to FAR 9.104-1.

(2) Unacceptable: If you take exception to any term of this RFQ, propose any additional terms, or omit material information required by this RFQ then we will consider your quote to be unacceptable and ineligible for contract award.
