52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items (Nov 2023)

The contractor’s quote/response shall consist of two (2) separate parts:

Part I - Price Quote Part II - Technical Documentation

A. PART I – PRICE QUOTE

The quoter shall either submit on company letterhead a quote identifying the unit price, total line item price, overall price, and guaranteed lead time for all items on Attachment 1 – ThinkLogical Product List dated 3 Jan 2025.

B. PART II – TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

Quoter shall submit technical information to confirm the items requested will be provided as stated in this combined synopsis/solicitation Attachment 1 – ThinkLogical Product List dated 3 Jan 2025. Offeror shall provide in writing proof of TAA and Tempest compliance. No refurbished items or partial quotes will be accepted.

52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (Nov 2021)

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Nov 2021). This tailored clause takes precedence over the clause incorporated by reference.

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:

Part I – Price Quote Evaluation The Government will evaluate a minimum of 4 lowest quotes for technical acceptability. Initially, the Government will place qualified quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest evaluated price. The price will be evaluated using either a quote identifying the unit price, total line-item price, overall price, and guaranteed lead time for all CLINs identified in FAR 52.212-1

Part II - Technical Documentation Evaluation Award will be made based on the competitive quote with the lowest evaluated price that meets the technical criteria as referenced above on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical criteria items are determined to be unacceptable that quote may not be evaluated further and may not be eligible for award.

By submission of its quote, the offeror agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to adhere to all solicitation requirements may result in an offer being determined unacceptable and ineligible for further evaluation. The evaluation process follows:

The Government will then evaluate the lowest priced offer to determine if it is reasonable and complete. If there is a conflict between the unit price and the overall price, the unit price will be used to determine the correct evaluated price. Failure to quote for any price element, may cause the quoter’s quote to be rejected as unacceptable.

Quoters whose evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 13.106-3) may not be considered for award.

Next, the lowest evaluated priced offeror, and their guaranteed lead time, will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. For the lowest evaluated priced offeror to receive a rating of “Acceptable” They shall quote the listed items and quantities for each item in Attachment 1 – ThinkLogical Product List dated 3 Jan 2025. If the lowest evaluated priced offeror does not provide the complete technical information, it will receive an “Unacceptable” rating and evaluation of that quote will stop.

The technical factors will receive one of the following ratings listed below.

Rating Description

If offeror is found acceptable, then the next 3 lowest priced quotes will be evaluated for technical acceptability. Technical evaluation will end when either all quotes have been evaluated for technical acceptable or there are 3 acceptable technical quotes.

Basis of Award:

If the lowest evaluated priced quote receives an “acceptable” technical rating, the evaluation of that quote is complete. If the lowest evaluated priced quote receives an “unacceptable” technical rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest evaluated priced offeror will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until 3 quotes have received an “acceptable” technical rating, or until all offerors are evaluated.

Technical evaluation will end when either all quotes have been evaluated for technical acceptability or there are 3 technically acceptable quotes. The lowest evaluated, technically acceptable price, represents the most advantageous offer to the Government and an award will be made to that offeror.

Conversations conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for a quote revision. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions (while keeping with FAR Part 12 and 13). The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists between the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items and the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, the evaluation criteria in the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items will take precedence.
