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

Award will be made based on the competitive quote with the lowest evaluated price that meets the technical criteria on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical 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 offeror, will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. For the lowest evaluated priced offeror to receive a rating of “Acceptable”, the offeror shall submit technical documentation that confirms their product meets the minimum requirements as stated in this combined synopsis/solicitation (see Table 1). The offeror shall also submit documentation proving that all quoted items meet the minimum salient characteristics identified in Attachment 2 – Salient Characteristics for B1143 Transformer Replacement Equipment. Additionally, if an offeror cannot deliver all items in Table 1 within

150 days after award, their quote may be found technically unacceptable. 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 factor 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.

2. Basis of Award:

If the lowest evaluated priced quote receives an “acceptable” technical 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 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 quote receives an “acceptable” technical rating, or until all offerors 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(s).
