However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit cost data to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

C. Specific Instructions:

Offers will first be reviewed by total price from lowest to highest, then technical acceptability, and finally delivery lead time. The two lowest offeror’s will be evaluated for technical acceptability, if the lowest priced offer is deemed acceptable no further technical evaluations will conducted and the contract will be awarded.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 – Evaluation Factors for Award

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 identified considered.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers in the following order of importance:

1. Price. The Government will evaluate the total price of all Line Items of the offer for award purposes, to include shipping costs.

2. Technical Capability of the items offered to meet the Government requirement.

3. Award will be made to the offeror who submits the lowest price quote that is found to be technically acceptable in accordance with this solicitation.

(b) 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:

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive RFQ that utilizes FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and will utilize the lowest price technically acceptable evaluation procedures and fair and reasonable determination. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, the offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the RFQ terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

A. Price Evaluation. Initially, offers will be arranged from lowest to highest based on the total submitted price of the offer, and evaluated, beginning with the lowest price submitted.

An offeror’s submitted prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified for each line item on the Attachment 1 Request for Quote by the unit price for the item to confirm the total amount for the line item. The total price for line item 1 and line item 2, shipping, will then be added together to determine the overall total price submitted.

B. Technical Acceptability Evaluation. The Offeror's responses will be evaluated to determine their understanding of the requirements and the qualifications to provide the requirement of this RFQ. Offeror’s items listed will be evaluated against the attached brand name or equal listing to ensure acceptability. Information shall be detailed enough to allow the government to make the technically acceptable or unacceptable determination. Any responses found unacceptable by the government’s technical expert shall deem the entire quote technically unacceptable.

C. Initially, the two lowest priced offers will be evaluated for technical acceptability.

The lowest priced evaluated offer that is determined to have an ‘acceptable’ technical evaluation will be the offer that represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable for the government. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration.

D. If the lowest priced offeror is not determined to have an ‘acceptable’ technical evaluation, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until two offerors are determined to have an ‘acceptable’ technical evaluation or until all offerors are evaluated.
