(2) Quotes shall be prepared in the English language.

(5) Quotes shall include technical and descriptive literature or other documents of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the minimum salient characteristics found in the schedule of supplies section. No past performance information is required to be provided (see 212-2 relevant information will be obtained from sources like SPRS, eSRS, FAPIIS, CPARS and POCs)

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services

(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 Government intends to award one (1) Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order resulting from this notice to the responsible quoter who offers the lowest total evaluated price for the supplies to be provided.

Award will be made to the acceptable quoter with the overall lowest evaluated price, which is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and which has submitted a quote conforming to the solicitation requirements. The requirements include all stated terms, conditions, completion of representations and certifications, and all other requirements of this solicitation. The Government intends to make an award based on the initial quotes received; therefore, the initial quote should contain the quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Quoters must be determined to be responsible according to the standards of FAR Part 9 to be eligible for award.

The following non-price/price factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

FACTOR 1 – Technical Capability

The following criteria shall be used to establish technical acceptability:

To be considered for award, quotes must:

(a) Meet the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristic specified in this solicitation

(b) Clearly identify the item by Brand name, if any; and make or model number, Technical information shall be evaluated for acceptability (only) on a pass/fail basis and will not be rated.

Any quoter who has been determined acceptable (pass) on their technical information will then have their quote evaluated for past performance.

FACTOR 2 – Past Performance

The quoter will be evaluated on their recent, relevant past performance record provided as part of the quote and any other relevant information obtained from other sources, which may include: Supplier Performance Rating System (SPRS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), or other databases, as well as interviews with POC references, Program Managers/Customers, Contracting Officers, or Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs). In the case of a quoter without a record of recent relevant past performance history in SPRS or other databases the vendor will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered acceptable. Should the Government discover adverse past performance information to which the quoter(s) had not had a prior opportunity to respond, the KO will conduct communications if deemed appropriate.

In the context of this procurement, recency is defined as a contract performed within three (3) years of the solicitation issuance date. The relevancy assessment shall consider the similarity of scope, magnitude of effort, and the complexities this solicitation requires. To be acceptable the quoter must demonstrate the ability to successfully perform the required effort.

Past Performance information shall be evaluated for acceptability (only) on a pass/fail basis and will not be rated. Any quoter who has been determined acceptable (pass) on their past performance information will then have their quote evaluated for price.

FACTOR 3 – Price

If a quote has been determined acceptable under each of the non-price factors listed above, the Government will then evaluate the quote for the lowest price. The quoted total price between quotes that are determined to be technically acceptable will be the determining factor in the selection of a quote for award. All CLINs must be priced. Price analysis shall not be conducted on quoters determined to be unacceptable for award, since the quoter will not be in line for award as the lowest priced technically acceptable quoter. Award will be made on all or none basis.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option 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 an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Products and Commercial Services Offerors must complete Representations and Certifications at 52.212-3 in the System for Award Management prior to submission or provide a completed copy with quote submission.
