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 will be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Past Performance

(2) Price

(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 will 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, will 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

The following is inserted as new paragraph (d) of the provision:

“(d) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive best value acquisition utilizing the Lowest Price with Acceptable Past Performance source selection in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 15 and Air Force FAR Supplement (AFFARS) Mandatory Procedure (MP) 5315.3. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors –Commercial Items, the offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable. Award will be made to the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP) offer that meets the acceptability standards for non-price factors. The evaluation process will include the following:

(1) Past Performance Factor. The government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on all offerors based on (i) the references provided by the offeror (Sample is shown in Attachment 3), and (ii) any past performance information obtained from Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 2), and (iii) any data independently obtained by the government. If a reference identified by the offeror in accordance with 52.212- 1(m)B.3.(c), does not submit a Past Perforamnce Questionnaire, the government will follow up with the reference POC, but it is not responsible for the failure of a reference POC to provide a Past Perforamnce Questionnaire.

Past performance regarding predecessor companies of the offeror and/or subcontractors, and subcontractors that will perform major aspects as identified in PWS paragraphs 1.2.3 (Hazardous freight), 1.2.4 (Sensitive freight), 1.2.7 (Dual Driver Protective Service), 1.3 (Type of Vehicles), 1.4 (Operating Rules and Vehicle Safety for Movement of

Amendment 0001 file://Periwinkle/SAF_AQC_ORG/AQCP/5640%20-%20AFFARS/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR31.doc#b522121 assigned, the offeror cannot be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror will be determined to have an unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” will be considered “Acceptable.”

(2) Price Evaluation Factor. The government will rank all offers by TEP. The price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the TEP. The government reserves the right to perform price realism analysis.

Total Evaluated Price (TEP): A TEP will be computed for each offer in order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17. The price of a six-month extension authorized by 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, will be added to the proposed price for each potential contract performance period.

The TEP is a two-part computation. First, the offeror’s total proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Pricing Schedule (SF 1449, continuation of blocks 19 – 24) by the unit price for each CLIN to confirm the extended total amount for each CLIN; the sum of all extended amounts will be the offeror’s total proposed price. Second, the total proposed price (total amount for CLINs 0001 – 4001) plus the sum of Option to Extend Services clause 52.217-8 formula (shown below) will constitute the TEP.

The formula for the Option to Extend Services amount is as follows:

Base Year = CLIN Estimated Total Amount x 0.5* Option Year 1 = CLIN Estimated Total Amount x 0.5* Option Year 2 = CLIN Estimated Total Amount x 0.5* Option Year 3 = CLIN Estimated Total Amount x 0.5* Option Year 4 = CLIN Estimated Total Amount x 0.5*

Note: *0.5 is the multiplicative factor used to derive the 6 months quantity value.

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(s), based on TEP, that meets the acceptability standards for non-price factors.”
