FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (FEB 2026) Quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.203.

Quoters must be determined to be responsible according to the standards of FAR Part 9 to be eligible for award. As part of this evaluation the Government reserves the right to review any sources or people the Government determines reliable including those sources which relate to past performance.

(3) The contracting officer will use the quality and delivery classifications identified for a supplier in SPRS to evaluate a supplier’s past performance in conjunction with the supplier’s references (if requested).
