RFO 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (April 2026)

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 quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Part I – Priced Quote

Part II - Technical Documentation

Award will be made based on the quote that meets the technical criteria on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical criteria are determined to be unacceptable, that quote may not be evaluated further and may not be eligible for award.

Addendum to RFO 52.212-2 - Evaluation -- Commercial Items

1. Evaluation:

https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/

By submission of its quote, the quoter 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 a quote 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, overall price, and estimated lead time for all CLINs identified in Table 1 provided in Addendum to RFO 52.212-1.

The Government will then evaluate the quote 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 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 RFO 15.404-1) may not be considered for award.

Part II – Technical Documentation Evaluation

Next, the quote will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical

Requirement. For the vendor to receive a rating of “Acceptable”, they shall submit technical information to confirm the items requested will be provided as stated in this RFQ. If the vendor does not demonstrate all necessary requirements, they 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 Part I – Price Quote and Part II – Technical

Documentation of this solicitation

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of Part I – Price Quote and Part II –

Technical Documentation of this solicitation

2. Basis of Award:

If the lowest of the evaluated priced quotes receives an “acceptable” technical rating, that quote represents the most advantageous quoter to the Government, evaluation of that quote is complete, and the evaluation process will stop, resulting in an award. If the lowest evaluated priced quote receives an “unacceptable” technical rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest evaluated priced quote 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 quotes are evaluated.

Conversations 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 conversations (while keeping with

RFO Part 12). The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct conversations if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists between the addendum to RFO 52.212-1, Instructions to

Offerors –Commercial Products and Commercial Services and the addendum to RFO 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, the evaluation criteria in the addendum to RFO 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services will take precedence.
