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. Evaluation method will be lowest priced, technically acceptable. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 – Price Factor 2 – Technical

PART I

Factor 1 – Price. 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).

PART II

Factor 2 – Technical. The evaluation team shall evaluate against each of the following subfactors and the associated standard (see Table 2. below) under Factor 2.

Table 2. Technical Subfactors and Standards

Subfactor Title Standard the Offer Must Meet

1 Upcoming Month Scheduling (PWS, Para 1.2.2.)

The technical proposal outlines a process demonstrating the offeror’s understanding of the requirements of Para 1.2.2., Upcoming Month Scheduling, of the PWS, and describes how the tasks will be accomplished in a timely manner at an acceptable performance level.

2 Approved Training and Certifications (PWS, Para 1.2.3.)

The technical proposal outlines a process demonstrating the offeror’s understanding of the requirements of Para 1.2.3., Approved Training and Certifications, of the PWS, and describes how the tasks will be accomplished in a timely manner at an acceptable performance level.

3 Instructor Substitution (PWS, Para 1.2.13. and 1.2.14.)

The technical proposal outlines a process demonstrating the offeror’s understanding of the requirements of Para 1.2.13.

and 1.2.14., Instructor Substitution, of the PWS, and describes how the tasks will be accomplished in a timely manner at an acceptable performance level.

(1) The evaluation team will evaluate each offer on its merits and assign one of the following ratings to each Subfactor under Factor 2.

Factor 1 – Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the Solicitation and PWS.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the Solicitation and PWS.

(2) Any of the Subfactors rated Unacceptable, regardless of another Subfactor(s) receiving an Acceptable rating, will result in an overall rating of Unacceptable for Factor 1. Reasons for Unacceptability include not meeting one or more of the standards in Table 2.

All proposals will be ranked by total evaluated price. The Government shall then evaluate proposals for technical acceptability in order of their price rankings, lowest to highest. Evaluations will cease once a technically acceptable offer is identified or all offerors have been evaluated (whichever occurs first). If the technical subfactor is rated Unacceptable, the overall rating is Unacceptable and the proposal will not be evaluated further.

Tradeoffs are not permitted and no evaluation credit is given to aspects of an offerors proposal that exceed acceptability standards.

(b) Contract(s) may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR

Part 9.1, whose offer conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this RFQ) and is judged, based on the evaluation factor and subfactors, to represent the best value offer.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award 1 (one) contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

(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.
