52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

(Deviation) (Tailored) 2026-02

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotations.

i. Price Evaluation - The Government will evaluate quotes by calculating a Total Evaluated Price of all option years quoted on the attached RFQ AGE Priority Projections Pricing (Attachment 3). Vendors will then be ranked from lowest Total Evaluated Price to highest.

ii. Past Performance

The Government will begin evaluating past performance, starting with the lowest Total Evaluated Price vendor. Evaluation of the vendors' past performance is subjective and will result in a rating of (See table below) Substantial, Satisfactory, Neutral, Limited, or No Confidence. Vendors who do not have recent and relevant past performance relating to this requirement will receive a rating of Neutral Confidence.

Rating Description

Substantial Confidence

Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the vendor’s performance record is so sparse, no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

The vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

No Confidence

Based on the vendor’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation the vendor will successfully perform the requirement.

The Government will evaluate past performance for recency and relevancy. Recency is defined as performance of similar services within the past three (3) years from the issue date of the solicitation. Relevancy is defined as services of the same magnitude and scope as described in the solicitation PWS.

Award Decision i The Government intends to award an Indefinite Delivery - Requirements contract as a result of this solicitation.

ii If the lowest priced quote receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, that quote represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point; an award shall be made to that vendor without further consideration of any other quotes. In the event the lowest priced vendor does not receive a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the evaluation process will continue with the next lowest priced vendor until a vendor receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating or all quotes are evaluated. In the event a vendor other than the lowest priced vendor having passed the technical evaluation received a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the Contracting Officer will perform an integrated best value evaluation to determine the awardee. The Government reserves the right to award to an other than Substantial Performance Confidence Rated vendor, and reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced vendor.

(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
