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) Technical capability. This technical capability will be evaluated based on the minimum required qualifications stated in the Performance Work Statement.
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 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.
(End of provision)
Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (Oct 2014)
The following is inserted as new paragraph (d) of the provision:
“(d) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This acquisition is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items mailto:james.molden@us.af.mil mailto:angelica.guerrero@us.af.mil mailto:James.molden@us.af.mil and this addendum. Noncompliance with the Request For Quote (RFQ) may be grounds to eliminate the quotation from consideration for contract award. 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) Technical. The Government will evaluate all offerors as described below:
Table 4, Technical Evaluation Ratings
Rating Description
Acceptable Based on the offeror’s submission of “Technical” they meet requirements outlined in PWS.
Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s submission of “Technical” they do not meet requirements outlined in PWS.
(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: 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 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 total proposed price. Second, the total proposed price (total amount for CLINs 0001 - 2001) 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 Total Amount x .5* Option Year 1 = CLIN Total Amount x .5*
Note: *Multiply total amount by half (1/2) if the total is twelve (12) months. If unit is not twelve (12) months, then adjust the multiplicative factor to calculate the amount for a six (6) month period of performance.
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 quotes.
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.”
