FAR Provision *52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 14), applies to this acquisition and the following evaluation is applicable:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Step 1. Responsiveness - does the offeror conform and provide all requirements outlined in the solicitation. This includes, but is not limited to, completing of FAR 52.212-3 Representations and Certifications FAR and DFARS reports in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.beta.sam.gov. Failure to provide and/or complete all requirements may be grounds for a non- responsive determination and render the offeror ineligible for further consideration/evaluation.

Interactions between the Contracting Officer and Vendor(s), after receipt of quotations that are undertaken with the intent to address any aspect of the quotation(s) may be conducted with all, some, or none of the vendors.

mailto:jaclyn.fish@us.af.mil mailto:tammie.morlock@us.af.mil mailto:jaclyn.fish@us.af.mil mailto:tammie.morlock@us.af.mil mailto:jaclyn.fish@us.af.mil mailto:tammie.morlock@us.af.mil https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/far2afmcfars/fardfars/far/52_000.htm#P1130_159445 http://www.beta.sam.gov/

Step 2. Rank all responsive quotations based upon vendor’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) in ascending order from lowest price to highest price.

Step 3. Evaluate lowest price vendor’s past performance until an acceptable rating is achieved. The Government may use present/past performance information obtained from sources such as other federal Government offices, Past Performance Information Retrieval System/Contractor Performance Assessment Reports, private and commercial sources, or any combination thereof.

Step 4. Make a Best-Value decision based on performance evaluation and a determination that the price is fair and reasonable. The techniques and procedures described under FAR 13.106-3 will be the primary means of assessing price reasonableness.

Interactions between the Contracting Officer and Vendor(s), after receipt of quotations that are undertaken with the intent to address any aspect of the quotation(s). May be conducted with all, some, or none of the vendors.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes by the total contract price. The total contract price consists of the total price of all base and option periods (to include a potential extension under clause 52.217-8, if applicable) of this quote. The total price of the base and option periods is the sum of all CLINs and potential option extension. The Government may determine a quote is unacceptable if the total contract prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. The quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), and whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End Provision)

Discussions: The government intends to award a purchase order without discussions with respective vendors/quoters. The government however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

Include descriptive literature such as illustrations and drawings.

Note: The vendor acknowledges that should the quote terms and conditions and/or agreement conflict with mandatory provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other Federal law applicable to commercial acquisitions, to the extent of such conflict the FAR and Federal law govern and conflicting vendor terms and conditions and/or agreement are unenforceable and are not considered incorporated into any resultant contract.
