Evaluation Criteria: The Government will determine best value using the trade-off process. This process permits tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. The perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal shall merit the additional cost.

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

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quotation 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 Factors:

i. Durability of the Equipment Material (i.e. thickness of the steel, rust prevention, impact resistance)

ii. Functional Performance of the Equipment (i.e. Barbell Performance – ball bearings vs.

bushings, Equipment System – Exercise Variety, Usage Capacity in a single session)

(2) Delivery Schedule:

i. Proposed Shipment Date

ii. Proposed Installation Dates

(3) Price/Cost:

i. Lowest Quoted Price/Cost

Technical Factors and Delivery Schedule, when combined, are more important than cost or price.

(b) Options. 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).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror 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.
