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

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 This tailored clause takes precedence over the clause incorporated by reference.

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:

Part I – Price Quote Evaluation The Government will evaluate a minimum of 2 lowest quotes for technical acceptability. Initially, the Government will place qualified quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest evaluated price. The price will be evaluated using a quote identifying the unit price, total line-item price, overall price, and guaranteed lead time.

Part II - Technical Documentation Evaluation Award will be made based on the competitive quote with the lowest evaluated price that meets the two technical factors stated below on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical criteria items are determined to be unacceptable that quote may not be evaluated further and may not be eligible for award. The technical evaluation shall contain the following criteria from Attachment 1 – Statement of Work B2024 LPS Repair dated 4 Feb 2025.

1. IAW Attachment 1 – Statement of Work B2024 LPS Repair dated 4 Feb 2025 paragraph 1.2.4. The contractor shall test and record the continuity and ground resistance readings for each replaced terminal after installation.

a. As part of their technical approach, the Contractor shall submit the testing methodology they will use to test and record the continuity and ground resistance readings for each of the replaced terminals.

b. An acceptable rating on this technical evaluation factor is: Sufficient proof that a commercially acceptable approach will be utilized to test and record the continuity and ground resistance readings.

2. The contractor shall have a minimum of 5 years of experience in installing lightning protection systems.

Additionally, the contractor shall hold a valid Lightning Protection Institute (LPI) certification. Any personnel with an LPI certification are permitted to perform the work. The contractor shall submit LPI certification to the Contracting Officer at the time of quote.

3. The technical factors will receive one of the following ratings listed below:

Rating Description Rating Description Acceptable Quote meets the technical requirements

(Part II) of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the technical requirements (Part II) of the solicitation.

By submission of its quote, the offeror agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to adhere to all solicitation requirements may result in an offer being determined unacceptable and ineligible for further evaluation.

Basis of Award:

The Government will evaluate the lowest priced offer to determine if it is reasonable and complete. If there is a conflict between the unit price and the overall price, the unit price will be used to determine the correct evaluated price. Quoters whose evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 13.106-3) may not be considered for award.

Next, the lowest evaluated priced offeror, and their guaranteed lead time, will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. If offeror is found acceptable, then the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability. Technical evaluation will end when either all quotes have been evaluated for technical acceptable or there are 2 acceptable technical quotes.

If the lowest evaluated priced quote receives an “unacceptable” technical rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest evaluated priced offeror will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until 2 quotes have received an “acceptable” technical rating, or until all offerors are evaluated. The lowest evaluated, technically acceptable price represents the most advantageous offer to the Government and an award will be made to that offeror.

Conversations conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for a quote revision.

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions (while keeping with FAR Part 12 and 13). The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists between the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items and the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, the evaluation criteria in the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items will take precedence.
