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 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 (not in order of importance):
(i) technical capability of the services offered to meet the Government’s requirement.
(ii) price
(iii) past performance
IAW FAR 13.106-1(2)(iii), solicitations are not required to state the relative importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, nor are they required to include subfactors.
https://www.acquisition.gov/far/part-52#FAR_52_212_2
(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.
(End of provision)
ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services
BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:
This is a competitive simplified acquisition selection conducted IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part s 12 and 13. The Government will select the best offer which conforms to the solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the submission instructions), and is judged, based on the evaluation factors to represent the best value to the Government IAW FAR 12.602(c). The Government seeks to award to the offeror who provides the best value in fulfilling the requirement. This may result in an award to a better value, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors, and the Government reasonably determines that technical capability and past performance of the higher priced offeror outweighs the price difference. The Government will review all documents for compliance and will conduct comparative evaluations of offers to determine best value. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced offer if a higher rated offeror represents overall best value to the Government.
The following factors (correlating to the respective volume) shall be used to evaluate each offer:
Volume I: Technical Capability - Under this factor, the Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposed Technical Capability based on the offeror providing a 30-day comprehensive transition “phase-in plan” for the subject requirement. The Offeror's quote shall provide a sound business plan to include quality control (include how the Contractor will mitigate/avoid damages to aircraft and Government Furnished Equipment), training, accepting/inventorying Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and shall demonstrate established procedures/processes for how the offeror would recruit and maintain the adequate personnel required to complete the tasks of the PWS given that employees may be required to work on any day, once a week (i.e., part-time).
(IAW PWS Para. 3.1.)
During evaluation of each quote, the Government will assign a rating, as shown below, to identify an offeror's ability to accomplish this factor. Offerors will be scored by the following adjectival ratings for the overall Technical Capability factor:
TABLE A - Technical Capability Ratings
Rating Description
Outstanding Demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements, contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength.
Good Demonstrates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength or significant strength.
Acceptable Demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements
Marginal Does not demonstrate an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements and contains one (1) deficiency.
Unacceptable Does not meet the requirements of the solicitation and thus is ineligible for award and contains more than one (1) deficiency.
Volume II: Past Performance - Under this factor, the Government will evaluate the Offeror's Past Performance based on the following four (4) criteria: Recency (within the last five (5) years) from the date of solicitation), Relevancy (same or similar scope of work), Quality (how well the offeror performed on past contracts), and Place of Performance (experience managing an overseas workforce). Each Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) received will be evaluated based on the above four (4) criteria. Once all PPQs have been evaluated, a overall performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned.
Table B – Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings
Rating Description
Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available, or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.
The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.
Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
*A higher Performance Confidence Assessment Rating may be viewed more favorably than a lower Performance Confidence Assessment Rating*
Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance.
The Government will utilize the submitted PPQs to make its evaluation; however, the Government also reserves the right to obtain information relative to present and past performance on its own from sources available to the Government. The quality of an Offeror's past performance may be reviewed and evaluated through the use of systems such as the Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) via System for Award Management (SAM), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of this acquisition, or other sources or databases known to the Government. Interviews may be conducted with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Fee Determining Officials, Defense Contract Management Agency or other sources known to the Government. *When a completed PPQ is inconsistent with the Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) rating, the CPARS report will take precedence. *
Volume III: Price - Under this factor, the Government will evaluate the Offeror's Price based on the following:
1. Offers will be evaluated for (i) Total Evaluated Price (TEP), (ii) completeness, (iii) reasonableness and (iv) unbalanced pricing. Offerors whose price is determined to be incomplete, unbalanced, or unreasonable will not be considered for award.
2. The Initial TEP (I-TEP) will be calculated as the sum of the Offeror's proposed prices (for all CLINs on the Pricing Worksheet) for all five ordering years inclusive of a six-month Option to Extend Services. The six-month extension of services is IAW FAR 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services" and will be utilized if necessary. The six-month extension of services is not to be considered part of Ordering Year 5 and will be a separate option exercised if it is utilized.
Offerors will not be required to submit pricing for the six-month extension of services. The 6-month Option to Extend Services will be calculated by dividing the proposed total of the Ordering Year 5 by two. However, if the 6-month Option to Extend Services is exercised, there will only be one (1) phase-out requirement IAW PWS Para 15. Evaluation of options or optional CLINs shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options or optional CLINs. If no changes are needed to the price proposal after the initial evaluation, the I-TEP will be considered the Final TEP (F-TEP). After any revisions (if needed) the Government will evaluate the F-TEP to be calculated as the sum of the Offeror's updated proposed prices for all five ordering years inclusive of a six-month Option to Extend Services.
(a) Completeness: Pricing will be reviewed to determine if all price information requested by the Solicitation Package has been submitted. *The Government may reject an offer if the pricing worksheet does not include normal costs associated with doing business in Germany such as permits/license, wages, and insurance.*
(b) Reasonableness: For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a reasonably prudent person would expect to pay in the conduct of competitive business for the same or similar service. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 13.106-3(a).
(c) Unbalanced pricing. Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high or low prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one (1) or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. The Government shall analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items. An offer that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer (CO) determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
(x) Offers must include with their offer a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (MAR 2025) (DEVIATION 2025-O0003), unless this information has been submitted electronically as part of its annual representations and certificates at https://www.sam.gov.
As prescribed in 52.212-3, an Offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically in the System for Award Management (SAM) accessed through https://www.sam.gov. If the Offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, the Offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (v) of this provision.
(b) (1) Annual Representations and Certifications. Any changes provided by the Offeror in paragraph (b)(2) of this provision do not automatically change the representations and certifications in SAM. (2) The offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically in SAM accessed through http://www.sam.gov. After reviewing SAM information, the Offeror verifies by submission of this offer that the representations and certifications currently posted electronically at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-

[Offeror to identify the applicable paragraphs at (c) through (v) of this provision that the offeror has completed for the purposes of this solicitation only, if any. These amended representation(s) and/or certification(s) are also incorporated in this offer and are current, accurate, and complete as of the date of this offer.

252.232-7007 Limitation of Government’s Obligation (Apr 2014)
(a) Contract line item(s) [Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] is/are incrementally funded. For this/these item(s), the sum of $ [Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] of the total price is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. An allotment schedule is set forth in paragraph (j) of this clause.
(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of termination of those item(s) for the Government’s convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for those item(s) regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Government.” As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government in the event of termination of applicable contract line item(s) for convenience includes costs, profit, and estimated termination settlement costs for those item(s).
(c) Notwithstanding the dates specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause, the Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least ninety days prior to the date when, in the Contractor’s best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable item(s). The notification will state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph
(j) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification will also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the item(s) funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor’s notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer will terminate any item(s) for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Government.”
(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this clause will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly.
(e) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds, by the dates indicated below, in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the item(s), or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause entitled “Disputes.”
(f) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause.
(g) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the clause entitled “Default.” The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause.
