52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (Nov 2021)

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

The Government will award a firm fixed priced purchase order 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 – Priced Quote 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 criteria on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical criteria or past performance items are determined to be unacceptable that quote may not be evaluated further and may not be eligible for award.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 - Evaluation -- Commercial Items (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 – Priced Quote Evaluation Initially, the Government will place all quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest evaluated price. The price will be evaluated using either a quote identifying the unit price, total line-item price, and overall price for all CLINs identified in Table 1 provided in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1.

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 quoter’s quote to be rejected as unacceptable.

Quoters whose evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with DFARS 212.204(a)) may not be considered for award.

Part II – Technical Documentation Evaluation Next, the lowest evaluated priced quoter will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. For the lowest evaluated priced quoter to receive a rating of “Acceptable”, the quoter shall submit technical documentation that confirms their product meets the minimum requirements as stated in this combined synopsis/solicitation (see Table 1). The quoter shall also submit documentation proving that all quoted items are in accordance with Attachment 2 – SOW_ Upgrade EST-3 Fire Alarm System to EST-4 and submit documentation/certifications for the items listed in the evaluation factor below.

The evaluation factors are:

1. Technical Certifications and Licenses: The quoter shall provide documentation to address the following:

- NICET Level II certification in Fire Alarm Systems is required for this acquisition. The company must submit a plan to demonstrate how they will ensure that all personnel, working on the installation of the fire panels, hold a NICET Level II certification in Fire Alarm Systems. Or, provide documentation to show the chosen personnel currently have the certification.

- The company holds an Edwards FireWorks System manufacturer’s certification.

- The company is licensed to perform fire alarm work in the State of Colorado.

2. Project Management Plan and Preliminary Schedule: The quoter shall fill out Attachment 4 - Preliminary Project Schedule that outlines the plan to complete the entire project within the 180-day period of performance. The schedule includes key milestones such as mentioned in Attachment 2 –

SOW.

If the lowest evaluated priced quoter 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

Rating Description Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Part III – Past Performance Evaluation Next, the Government will evaluate the lowest evaluated priced technically acceptable quoter 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 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 fill out the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) to be evaluated in the context of acceptability/unacceptability.

For the Government to have a reasonable expectation the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, the quoter must not be debarred, suspended, or otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an award (i.e. the quoter does not have derogatory information in www.sam.gov; nor has a CPARS or Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) rating below marginal for any contracts of a similar scope to the SOW in the past 5 years. If the quoter is http://www.sam.gov/

SemperVenator debarred, suspended, or otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an award (i.e. the quoter or does have derogatory information in www.sam.gov; does have a termination for cause within the last 5 years); or has a CPARS, or PPQ, rating below marginal for any rated category, then the Government would not have a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort. Without that reasonable expectation, the quoter 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 SPRS, or other databases; the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and contacts included in the quoter’s provided documentation.

The past performance information factor will receive one of the following ratings listed below:

Rating Description

Rating Description Acceptable Based on the quoters’ performance record, the

Government HAS a reasonable expectation of successful performance or the quoter’ performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the quoters’ performance record, the Government DOES NOT have a reasonable expectation of successful performance.

2. Basis of Award:

If the lowest evaluated priced quote receives an “acceptable” technical and past performance information rating, that quote represents the most advantageous offer to the Government, evaluation of that quote is complete, and the evaluation process will stop, resulting in an award.

If the lowest evaluated price quote receives an “unacceptable” technical and/or past performance information rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest evaluated priced quoter will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until a quote receives an “acceptable” technical and past performance information rating, or until all quoter are evaluated.

Conversations conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a purchase order without the opportunity for a quote revision. The Government intends to award a purchase order without conversations (while keeping with FAR Part 12). However, the Government reserves the right to conduct conversations with one, some, all, or none of the vendors if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists, procedures will be executed IAW FAR 52.212-4(r).
