52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items (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:

Factor 1 – Technical

Factor 2 – Price

All proposals will be graded Acceptable or Unacceptable by (1) Technical based on an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating; (2) Past Performance based on an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating; and (3) Price, in order of their price rankings, lowest to highest. Evaluations will cease once an (1) Acceptable technical evaluation and (2) Acceptable past performance evaluation is identified, along with (3) lowest priced selected.

Factor 1 – Technical. To be determined technically acceptable the contractor shall provide an offer that clearly meets the requirements of the Solicitation and the Performance Work Statement.

1. Does the quote/proposal clearly explain how all tasks and requirements are to be met in accordance with the SOW/PWS?

2. Does the quote/proposal meet the required period of performance or schedule to meet the customers need?

3. Does the proposal demonstrate the Contractor’s history providing Vertical Tank Storage for at least a 200 tank capacity?

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings:

Rating Description

Acceptable

The proposal clearly demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirements and describes an approach to demonstrating how the tasks will be accomplished in accordance with the outlined services summary table in the Performance Work Statement and clearly answers all technical questions.

Unacceptable The proposal does not demonstrate an understanding of the requirement. A demonstration of how the tasks will be accomplished is not clearly defined.

Factor 2 – Price. The Government shall conduct a price evaluation of offers receiving (1) an Acceptable Technical Rating and (2) an Acceptable Past Performance Rating. The Government will utilize an Abstract of Offers by arranging offers from lowest price to highest price. The Government will begin the evaluations with the lowest priced offer. Once a lowest priced, technically acceptable, and responsible offer is identified, evaluations will cease. The Government will evaluate an offer by total price. Initially, the proposals will be ranked according to their total proposed price, inclusive of options. The Government will evaluate all offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options, including both the 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services and the 52.217-9 Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, to the total price for the basic requirement. The evaluated price is determined by adding the price of the six-month extension period, in accordance with FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, to the Proposed Price. The six-month extension price is determined by taking 50% of the final option year’s total price, which represents the maximum 6-month period the 52.217-8 could be utilized, for each position and then summing those values. The extension period price is then added to the Proposed Price to derive the Evaluated Price. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

If only one offer is received, the Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair, reasonable, and realistic price. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness.

Contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible and technically acceptable in accordance with FAR Part 9.1, whose offer conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this RFP) and is judged, based on the evaluation.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award one (1) contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the offeror’s best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer shall result in a binding contract utilizing the offeror’s Acceptable proposal.
