Evaluation Criteria

FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:

mailto:david.bartilson@us.af.mil https://comptroller.defense.gov/Financial-Management/Reports/fcfr/#2026 https://comptroller.defense.gov/Financial-Management/Reports/fcfr/#2026

A. Basis for Contract Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, considering the factors listed in this provision.

1. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2, the Government will utilize comparative evaluations, and give preliminary considerations to all offers received in response to the solicitation. The Government may identify from all evaluated quotes readily discernible value indicators that fall within the parameters of the evaluation factors outlined in this provision. Therefore, the Government reserves the right to select an awardee that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum outlined standards, but is not obligated to do so. Additionally, the Government is not bound to select an awardee whose quote may exceed the minimum requirement, but whose additional value or benefit is not deemed substantial enough by the Government.

2. The Government is not limited to the quote that only meets the minimum described in the below factor(s) and provides the lowest price. However, if no quotes received in response to the solicitation exceed the minimum criteria outlined in this provision, as determined by the Government; then the Government intends to award a contract to the lowest priced offer that meets the instructions outlined in 52.212-1, and the minimum requirements outlined in this provision whose price can be determined both fair & reasonable and realistic by the Contracting Officer.

3. The Government intends to make an award without conducting interchanges with vendors after the close of the solicitation. Therefore, vendors should provide their best available pricing, including any discounts, and technical quotes to the Government in their initial quote. However, the Government reserves the right to enter into interchanges with all, some, or none of the offers at any time during the evaluation period if deemed in the best interests of the Government to do so.

B. Evaluation Factors: The following factors shall be used by the Government to evaluate quotes;

1. Price: At minimum, the vendor must provide pricing in accordance with the instructions outlined in FAR 52.212-1. The vendor that provides the lowest price that can be determined both fair & reasonable and realistic by the Contracting Officer may be given additional consideration for awardee selection. However, the Government is under no obligation to do so. The Government intends to only evaluate prices submitted under Combined Synopsis/Solicitation section Supplies or Services and Prices/Cost.

During the evaluation process the Contracting Officer will determine a "Total Evaluated Price" (TEP) for each responsive quote. The TEP is determined by totaling the amount of all items identified in the quote. For the purposes of this evaluation, a price that is deemed too high while conducting the evaluation of the quote in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 would not be considered fair & reasonable. For the purposes of this evaluation, a price that reflects a lack of understanding of the contract requirement, or displays an undue risk inherent to the vendors approach would not be considered realistic.

2. Technical Capability: At minimum, the vendor must provide documentation that outlines the technical specifications of the products to be provided. The specifications must articulate how the products quoted by the vendor meets the technical requirements outlined in the attached SOO. The vendor must provide a total projected timeline to complete/ deliver all items. Factors that may increase an offeror's ranking include, durability of the items, warranty periods, past performance, delivery timeline, and overall Government confidence in the technical capabilities of the quoted product.
