Provision FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Evaluation and Award Criteria The Government will award a contract resulting from the solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government. Award will be made using Lowest Priced Technical Acceptability (LPTA) as an evaluation method for this requirement as detailed below.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate LPTA quotes:

• Factor One (1): Total Price

• Factor Two (2): Technical

Factor One (1), Total Proposed Price: 21 CONS will review all quotes, ranking Offeror’s quotes from lowest to highest based on proposed price. The lowest priced quote will then be evaluated for Technical Capability, which will be evaluated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis.

Factor Two (2) Technical: 21 CONS will evaluate quotes for technical acceptability in the preceding manner: Verification that quotes include the correct quantity, description, and meet the requirements listed in Attachment 1.

Acceptable – The quote clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation (in terms of quantity, part number, and description). The items (extended warranty) provided by the offeror meet all salient characteristics listed in Attachment 1.

Unacceptable – The quote does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation (in terms of quantity, part number, and description). The items (extended warranty) provided by the offeror do not meet all salient characteristics listed in Attachment 1.

Award Process The government will first order the offeror’s lowest to highest total price. The lowest priced quote will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability on “Acceptable/Unacceptable” basis. If the lowest priced quote is deemed “Acceptable,” the evaluation will stop and award will be made. If the lowest priced quote is deemed “Unacceptable,” no further consideration will be given to that offeror and the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated.

The Government will continue the evaluation process until reaching a technically acceptable quote.

Offeror’s whose quote is determined “Unacceptable,” will not be eligible for award. The Government intends to make a selection based on the initial quote submissions without conducting conversations.

Therefore, each quote should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

Conversations may be conducted with one, some, or all offerors as the Government is not required to conduct conversations with any or all offerors responding to the solicitation.

Conversations – Fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer and the offeror’s that may address any aspect of the quote and may or may not be documented in real time.

Note: The vendor acknowledges that should the quote terms and conditions and/or agreement conflict with mandatory provisions of the FAR and other Federal laws applicable to commercial acquisitions, to the extent of such conflict the FAR and Federal laws governing conflicting vendor terms and conditions and/or agreement are unenforceable and are not considered incorporated into any resultant Delivery Order. The vendor must be capable of providing assurance that all products are TAA compliant upon delivery.

5352.201-9101 Ombudsman

As prescribed in 5301.9103, insert the following clause:

OMBUDSMAN (OCT 2019)

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern.

The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern. (b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). (c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, AFICC/OL-SPC, Director or Deputy Director of Contracting, 250 S. Peterson Blvd, Peterson SFB, CO 80914, phone 719-554-5300, Fax 719-554-5299, email afica.ks.wf@us.af.mil. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the Center/MAJCOM/DRU/SMC ombudsman level, may be brought by the interested party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (571) 256-2395, facsimile number (571) 256-2431. (d) The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency. (e) Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the contracting officer.
