4. By signing this RFQ, Offeror is agreeing to the Provisions and Clauses as indicated within this solicitation.

52.212-2, EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (Nov 2021), applies to this acquisition and the following evaluation is applicable:

(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:

- Price

- Past Performance

1. Total Evaluated Price (TEP): The Government will evaluate quoted prices by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base year, to arrive at a total evaluated price (TEP). In determining whether a price is fair and reasonable, the government may use historical data, independent Government estimates in its price analysis, or any other technique permissible by FAR 12 and FAR 13.

The TEP will be calculated as follows:

a) The sum of the extended prices (unit quantity multiplied by unit price) for CLIN’s 0001-0004 for the base performance period and option periods one (1) through four (4); and

b) To account for the maximum six-month extension possible under the clause at FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the quoted price of the final option period (CLIN 4001-4004), prorate it to a six-month value, and add that amount to the sum of all CLINS (base performance period and option periods one (1) through four (4)). The resulting amount will be the TEP. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The spreadsheet below illustrates calculation of a quote’s TEP using the methodology described above.

The spreadsheet is provided for illustration purposes only. Prices reflected in the spreadsheet are notional and in no way reflect the actual value of the requirement or an actual evaluation of quoted prices submitted in response to this solicitation or any other solicitation for the same or similar requirements.

CLIN DESCRIPTION POP LENGTH UNIT PRICE QUOTED PRICES

CLIN0001 Base 12 Months $ $ CLIN1001 Option I 12 Months $ $ CLIN2001 Option II 12 Months $ $

Total Quoted Price for Base Period & Options $ Evaluated Value of Maximum 6-Months Option to Extend Service IAW FAR 52.217-8

Total Evaluated Price (TEP) $

2. Past Performance: Past performance submitted by the offeror will be evaluated using the rating scheme below. In the case of an offeror who does not submit past performance data with the quote, the past performance will be evaluated by considering data available in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). Only quotes receiving a rating of “Acceptable” will be further evaluated for the award.

Rating Description Acceptable Based on the Quoter’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable Expectation that the Quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the Quoter’s performance record is unknown (see note below).

Unacceptable Based on the Quoter’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Quoter will be able to successfully perform

* In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in CPARS and FAPIIS for the FSC or PSC of the supplies/services being purchased, the vendor will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history.

Award will be made to the offeror that represents the best value to the Government, price, and past performance. This may result in the Government awarding to an offeror other than the lowest priced.

For example, if an offeror with no past performance history has a lower TEP than an offeror with high past performance ratings in CPARS, the Government may elect to award to the offeror with high past performance ratings if determined to be the best value to the Government.

Note: 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.
