performance in the CPARS and/ or SPRS systems.

Total Evaluated Price (TEP): The Government will evaluate quoted prices by adding the total price for all CLINS to arrive at a total evaluated price (TEP). In determining whether a price is fair and reasonable, the government may use historical data, independent Government es mates in its price analysis, or any other technique permissible by FAR 12 and FAR 13.

Past Performance: Past performance submi ed by the offeror will be evaluated using the ra ng scheme below. In the case of an offeror who does not submit past performance data with the quote, the past performance will be evaluated by considering data available in the Contractor Performance Assessment Repor ng System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Informa on System (FAPIIS) and/or Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Only quotes receiving a ra ng of “Acceptable” will be further evaluated for the award.

Estimated Delivery: The Government will take delivery dates into consideration that represents the Best Value to the Government.

Rating and Description

Acceptable: Based on the Quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable Expectation that the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the Quoter’s performance record is unknown (see note below).

Unacceptable: Based on the Quoter’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Quoter will be able to successfully perform.

* In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in CPARS, FAPIIS, and SPRS for the FSC or PSC of the supplies/services being purchased, the vendor will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history.

Award will be made to the offeror that represents the best value to the Government considering technical capability, price, past performance and delivery. This may result in the Government awarding to an offeror other than the lowest priced. For example, if an offeror with no past performance history has a lower price than an offeror with high past performance ra ngs in CPARS and/or SPRS, the Government may elect to award to the offeror with high past performance ra ngs if determined to be the best value to the Government. The awarded contract shall be con ngent upon determina on of fair and reasonable price.

Note: A wri en no ce of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the me for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further ac on by either party. Before the offer's specified expira on me, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether there are nego a ons a er its receipt, unless a wri en no ce of withdrawal is received before award.
