The Offeror shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the solicitation. A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support technical capability and price in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Compliance with the instructions and solicitation is mandatory. Failure to comply may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and render the proposal ineligible for award.

Each part shall be complete in itself.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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:

1. Price

2. Technical Acceptability.

(b) Options. 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 an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items Paragraph (d) is added as follows:

(d) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: The Government intends to award one contract for this competitive service acquisition. Award will be made to the technically acceptable Offeror with the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP) who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104 and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation. Unless specifically identified in your proposal, by submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined ineligible for award.

The government will award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with a base year and four option years. This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation. It is the Government’s intent to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price, and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines them to be necessary.

If the Government receives three (3) or fewer initial proposals all proposals will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more initial proposals the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced proposals and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional proposals for technical acceptability if in the Government’s best interest. If additional proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability they will be selected in the order of total evaluated price.

(1) Technical Acceptability Ratings. The government will evaluate technical proposals on a pass/fail basis and assign an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating as described below. For the technical proposal to be rated as “Acceptable”, the technical factor must be rated acceptable. If any technical factor is rated “Unacceptable” the overall proposal will be rated as “Unacceptable”.

1. Acceptable – The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

1. Unacceptable – The proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(a) Technical Evaluation Factor. Offerors are advised that their initial submission should be their best effort. Only technically acceptable proposals, either initially or as a result of discussions, are eligible for award. If award is made without discussions, proposal revisions will not be permitted. The Government will evaluate the proposals selected above for technical acceptability on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. For the technical proposal to be rated as “Acceptable”, all technical factors must be rated acceptable. If any technical factor is rated “Unacceptable” the overall proposal will be rated as “Unacceptable”.

(A) Factor #1 – Performance Plan Standard The offeror shall submit a plan that illustrates the best approach to perform tasks stated in the PWS. At a minimum, the plan should address solutions and proof of required certifications to meet PWS requirements.

The standard has been met when: The offeror submits a plan that is sound, comprehensive, realistic, effective and efficient to perform required tasks described in the PWS for the life of the contract.

(b) Price Evaluation Factor. The government will rank all offers by Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the TEP. Separately priced line items shall be analyzed to determine if the prices are unbalanced. A TEP will be computed for each offer in order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17.

a. The Offeror’s total proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified by the unit price, limited to two decimal places, for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to confirm the extended total amount for each CLIN; the sum of all extended amounts will be the Offeror’s TEP.

b. The contract will include FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, with the potential to extend the contract an additional six months beyond the awarded contract performance period. In the event the Government requires continued performance, the Government’s evaluation of prices proposed for the base and all option periods will suffice to be the Government’s evaluation of prices under the extension of services (ref. FAR 52.217-8). Should an extension of services be required, rates will be adjusted only as result of revisions to applicable prevailing Department of Labor wage rates.

c. Evaluating the Option CLINs does not obligate the government to exercise the Options.

(3) Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items, of this solicitation. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposals. Exchanges 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 proposal revision. The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective Offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

(4) Award will be made to the lowest priced offer, based on TEP that meets the acceptability standards for non-price factors.
