52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

As prescribed in 12.205(a)(2), insert a provision substantially as follows:

Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Deviation Date)

(a) Evaluation factors. 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 will be used to evaluate offers:

(1) The quotations will be ranked according to their total evaluated price (TEP) by adding the CLIN total pricing on page 3 of this solicitation. The offeror’s price will be evaluated by using the procedures in RFO 12.204 in order to determine price reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through competitive quotations as described in RFO 12.204.

(2) The offeror shall submit a plan describing how they will meet the requirements outlined in the SON. The plan shall describe how the offeror will conform to the requirements outlined within the SON. The plan shall also include all specifications of parts and equipment necessary for completion of the project. Technical quotes will be evaluated as technically acceptable or not technically acceptable based on the information submitted in comparison to the requirements of the SON. Any additional pages beyond 10 will be discarded and not reviewed.

(b) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.

(c) Basis for award. The government will evaluate quotes in order starting at the lowest TEP until three quotes are found to be technically acceptable, or all quotes have been evaluated. If only one quote is received, award can be made if the Contracting Officer finds the quote to be technically acceptable and the price to be fair and reasonable in accordance with RFO 12. The government intends to award the contract without discussions. If the government decides to conduct discussion, all offerors will be notified as soon as possible. Clarifications conducted to resolve minor errors will not constitute discussion and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for quote revisions. The government intends to award a contract without discussions (while keeping with RFO 12).
