52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (JAN 1999)

The Government will award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to the responsible quoter using a comparative evaluation process. The comparative evaluation will be performed in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3). The government reserves the right to select a response that provides benefit to the government that exceeds the minimum but is not required to do so. Likewise the Government is not bound to award to the lowest price. Quoters are advised that responses may exceed the requirements, but the government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotes; each response must respond to the solicitation requirement, stated in the PWS.

The government will apply the following comparative evaluation process as the basis for award:

· Evaluate the direct comparison of one quote with another using a uniform approach to determine which quote provides the government what it needs, in accordance with the SOW.

· Apply an overall analysis to identify a quote that meets the “best” need of the government, outlined within the SOW.

· The acceptable quote may also be analyzed amongst other responses using item-by-item comparisons for comparable alternatives.

Quoter needs to provide the following information:

1. Certifications/documentation demonstrating the Contractor has enough qualified staff to meet the requirements established in the PWS.

2. A narrative that describes their capability of supporting a medical center. In addition, the narrative shall describe how they plan to accomplish this.

3. A well‐defined performance plan reflecting an understanding of the scope as listed in the performance work statement. Must describe how the work will be accomplished for each requirement listed in the performance work statement.

4. A Quality Control/Customer Service Plan to include its internal procedures for tracking and statistical methods utilized used to measure quality of the services.

5. Certificates of accredited training on but not limited to 29 CFR Part 1910.

An acceptable Price/Schedule shall be deemed fair and reasonable. Price shall be submitted using the attached Price/Schedule.

Information not contained in a vendor’s quote will not be considered during the evaluation. The Government intends to make award selection without discussions or clarification but may determine after evaluating submitted quotes that the elements stated in FAR 13.106-2(b) for evaluation procedures are necessary and conduct them as appropriate. The Government reserves the right to make no award if no quotes meet the requirements of this solicitation.
