(End of Provision)

SECTION 14: EVALUATION

Addenda to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services (DEVIATION) (CD 2026-O00028)

1. The Government intends to award one (1) contract to the acceptable quoter with the lowest evaluated price which is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, and which has submitted a quote conforming to the solicitation requirements. The requirements include all stated terms, conditions, 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 Subpart 9 to be eligible for award.

2. Failure to provide a complete, detailed, realistic, and reasonable quote may reflect a lack of understanding of the requirements and may result in a determination that the quoter’s quote is unacceptable. The Government does not assume a duty to search for clarification data to cure problems or inconsistencies with a quoter’s quote.

3. The award decision process is being conducted under FAR Part 12, wherein the Contracting Officer is permitted to engage in communications with individual contractors about their quotes without being subject to the policies and procedures of FAR Part 15, and without engaging in "discussions" or "negotiations" under FAR Part 15.

4. Although the Government intends to award a Purchase Order resulting from this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to reject any and all quotes received and not award any item or items from this solicitation.

5. Technical Capability and Past Performance will be evaluated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

The Government will evaluate the vendors Technical Capability to determine acceptability of the quote in response to this solicitation.

To be considered technically acceptable:

· The Quoter’s supplies must meet the salient physical, functional, or performance specifications specified in this solicitation.

PAST PERFORMANCE

To be considered acceptable:

1. The quoter will be evaluated on their past performance record and any other relevant information obtained from available sources which may include Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), other databases, as well as interviews with POC references, Program Managers/Customers, Contracting Officers, or Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs), data submitted by the Quoter as part of the Past Performance file, and any other information available to determine the quality and relevance of the quoter’s past performance.

2. The Government shall determine how well the quoter performed on the recent (within 5 years of solicitation issuance) and relevant (similar in scope, magnitude, complexity) contracts. The Government will assign an acceptable/unacceptable rating as to the quoter’s ability to perform on the required effort based upon the recent and relevant past performance record considering the information available regarding quality of performance.

3. In the case of a quoter without a record or references of recent and relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), Past Performance Evaluation). Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

4. Should the Government discover adverse past performance information to which the quoter had not had a prior opportunity to respond, the Contracting Officer will conduct communications if deemed appropriate.

PRICE AND ADMINISTRATIVE

1. If a quote has been determined acceptable under the non-price factor listed above, the Government will then evaluate the quote for the lowest price. The quoted total price between quoters determined to be technically acceptable will be the determining factor in the selection of a quote for award. 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. All CLINs must be priced.

2. The Government will perform a price analysis to determine the reasonableness of proposed price in accordance with the FAR 15.404-1(b). The Government will utilize a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation.

(b) Options (if applicable). 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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

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