52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

This tailored clause takes precedence over the clause incorporated by reference.

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 following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Part I - Price Part II - Technical Documentation Part III - Past Performance

Award will be made based on the competitive quote with the lowest evaluated price that meets the technical criteria and past performance evaluation criteria on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical criteria or past performance items are determined to be unacceptable that quote will not be evaluated further and will not be eligible for award.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Products and Commercia Services (Nov 2021).

1. Evaluation:

By submission of its quote, the offeror agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to adhere to all solicitation requirements may result in an offer being determined unacceptable and ineligible for further evaluation. The evaluation process follows:

Part I – Price Quote Evaluation The Government will place all quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest evaluated price. The Government will then evaluate the lowest evaluated priced offer to determine if it is reasonable and Complete. If there is a conflict between the unit price and the overall price, the unit price will be used to determine the correct evaluated price. Failure to quote for any price element, may cause the Offeror’s quote to be rejected as unacceptable.

Offerors whose evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 13.106-3) may not be considered for award.

Part II – Technical Documentation Evaluation Next, the lowest evaluated priced offeror will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. For the lowest priced offeror to receive a rating of “Acceptable”, they shall submit technical information that clearly demonstrates their items meet the minimum requirements in terms of description and performance as stated in Attachment 1 Statement of Work. If the lowest evaluated priced offeror does not demonstrate all necessary requirements, it will receive an “Unacceptable” rating and evaluation of that quote will stop.

The technical factors will receive one of the following ratings listed below.

Rating Description

Step III – Past Performance Evaluation Next, the Government will evaluate the lowest evaluated priced technically acceptable offeror for past performance with information gathered via the CAGE code submitted. The Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) may be searched to evaluate past performance, and information may be pulled from the System for Award Management (SAM), IAW FAR 9.104-6. In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available on CPARS.gov, or SAM.gov or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable".

For the Government to have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, the offeror must not be debarred, suspended, or otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an award (ie. the offeror does not have derogatory information in www.sam.gov or www.fapiis.gov;

nor has a CPARS rating below satisfactory for any contracts). If the offeror is debarred, suspended, or otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an award (ie. the offeror does have derogatory information in www.sam.gov or www.fapiis.gov; does have a termination for cause within the last 3 years); or has a CPARS rating below satisfactory for any rated category, then the Government would not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Without that reasonable expectation, the offeror would be found unacceptable.

In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to; the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, other databases, and contacts included in the quoter’s provided documentation.

Table A-2. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description http://www.sam.gov/

2. Basis of Award:

If the lowest evaluated priced, technically acceptable offeror receives an “Acceptable” past performance rating, that quote represents the most advantageous offer to the Government, evaluation of that quote is complete, award will be made to that offeror, and the evaluation process will stop. If the lowest evaluated priced, technically acceptable offeror receives and “Unacceptable” past performance rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest evaluated priced offeror will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until a technically acceptable offeror is evaluated to have an acceptable past performance rating, or until all offerors are evaluated.

Clarifications conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for a quote revision. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions (while keeping with FAR Part 12 and 13). The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists between the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items and the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, the evaluation criteria in the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items will take precedence.
