4. EVALUATION OF QUOTES

IAW FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

a. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors, and has no active exclusions on sam.gov or Federal Awardee

Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). The Government reserves the right to review any other private or Government sources that provide past performance information. Price analysis will be performed IAW FAR 15.404-1(b)(3). The quote with the lowest evaluated price will be evaluated to determine technical acceptability. If the lowest priced quote is found to meet all RFQ requirements, is technically acceptable, and there are no active exclusions, award will be made to this quoter with no further evaluations. If the lowest priced quote is rated unacceptable in technical or active exclusions are found, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated and the process will continue until a low priced technically acceptable quote is found with no exclusions.

b. The government intends to award without discussions to the lowest priced technically acceptable quoter, but reserves the right at any time during evaluations to enter into discussions if it is determined to be in the government’s best interest. The Government will evaluate price to determine price fair and reasonableness, balance and affordability. Unbalanced pricing could pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject a quote. Quotes should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate completeness, balance and affordability. The burden of proof for credibility of quoted prices rests with the quoter. Please Note:

Since the government intends to award without discussions, quoters are encouraged to submit their best quote initially, considering price and technical solution. Clarifications may be conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors, and are not deemed discussion IAW FAR 15.306(a).

c. All technical aspects shall be adequately addressed in the technical capabilities documents. This acquisition is being conducted IAW 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal. Any “or equal” items must include, in addition to the brand name, a general description of those salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics of the brand name item that an “equal” item must meet to be acceptable for award.
