FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021) This tailored clause takes precedence over the clause incorporated by reference.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Part I - Price Part II - Technical Capabilities – Capability of the service to meet the Government’s requirement Part III – Past Performance

Award will be made based on the competitive quote with the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) with technical factor evaluation criteria on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If the technical factor is determined to be unacceptable, that quote will not be evaluated further and will not be eligible for award.

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), 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 Products and Commercial Services Nov

1. Evaluation:

By submission of its offer, the offeror agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to adhere to all solicitation requirements may result in an offer being determined unacceptable and ineligible for further evaluation. The determination to eliminate an offeror from further evaluation for failure to adhere to solicitation requirements is at the Government’s sole discretion. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

Step I – Solicitation Requirements

All quotes submitted will be reviewed for completeness to determine if they contain all information requested in the addenda to FAR 52.212-1. Quotes that are incomplete or missing information may be excluded from the evaluation.

Step II - Price Evaluation

Quotes will be ranked utilizing the lowest total evaluated price (TEP) according to the total price of CLIN 0001. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total price. Proposed price should be all inclusive and shall encompass labor, supervision, overhead, material removal, etc. The quoted price for the period of performance will be the sole factor in determining the TEP for each quote.

The Government will then evaluate the offer which is the lowest total evaluated price to determine if it is reasonable, complete, and balanced.

Quoters whose total evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 15.404 and FAR 31.201-

3) and/or unbalanced (IAW FAR 15.404-1) may not be considered for award.

Step III – Technical Capabilities Evaluation

Next, the Government will place all quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest price technically acceptable. The offer with the lowest total evaluated price will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. For the lowest total evaluated priced offeror to receive a rating of “Acceptable”, they shall demonstrate the vendors’ ability to provide the services described in this Combined Synopsis and Solicitation IAW the Performance Work Statement dated 26 May 2023 (attachment 1). If the technical capabilities do not meet the requirements of the PWS, it will receive an “Unacceptable” rating and evaluation of that quote will stop. The POC’s provided will not be contacted.

For the Government to evaluate if the quoter demonstrated prior experience, the Technical Form (attachment 2) form must be verified with the customer by the evaluation team, via phone or email. At a minimum, the Government will use the quoter’s provided point of contact (POC), phone or email to verify the project was performed by the named contractor and to verify that the minimum technical requirements stipulated in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Part II are included in the service to determine if the technical requirements have been met. If the minimum technical requirement is confirmed by 1 contacted POC, not all provided POCs are required to be contacted for verification. If the point of contact cannot be reached through reasonable attempt, that Technical Evaluation form will not be considered for further evaluation.

Technical Factor: The government requires the offeror to display experience in carpet installation. The technical factors will receive one of the following ratings listed below.

Rating Description Acceptable Offeror provided sufficient information on the

Technical Form to substantiate the offeror’s demonstrated previous experience.

Unacceptable Offeror did not provide sufficient information on the Technical Capabilities Form to substantiate the offeror’s demonstrated previous experience.

Step IV – Past Performance Evaluation

Next, the Government will evaluate the offer with the lowest price technically acceptable for any debarments or derogatory marks with information gathered via the CAGE code submitted. The Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) may be searched to evaluate past performance, and information may be pulled from the System for Award Management (SAM), IAW FAR 9.104-6. In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available on CPARS.gov, or SAM.gov or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable".

For the Government to have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, the offeror must not be debarred, suspended or otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an award (ie. the offeror does not have derogatory information in www.sam.gov; nor has a CPARS rating below satisfactory for any contracts). If the offeror is debarred, suspended, or otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an award (ie. the offeror does have derogatory information in www.sam.gov; or has a CPARS rating below satisfactory for any rated category, then the Government would not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and contacts included in the quoter’s provided documentation.

Table A-2. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform.

To be acceptable an offeror may not have a CPARS rating below satisfactory. Neutral past performance (No existing CPARS Assessment Reports) will be considered Acceptable.

2. Basis of Contract Award:

This is a competitive acquisition in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13. The evaluation process will proceed as follows:

If the lowest price, technically acceptable offeror receives an “Acceptable” rating, that quote represents the most advantageous offer to the Government, evaluation of that quote is complete, award will be made to that offeror, and the evaluation process will stop. If the lowest price, technically acceptable offeror receives an “Unacceptable” rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until a technically acceptable offeror is evaluated to have an acceptable rating, or until all offerors are evaluated.

Clarifications 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 a quote revision.

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions (while keeping with FAR Part 12 and 13). The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists between the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Products and Commercial Services and the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, the evaluation criteria in the addendum to FAR 52.212- 2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services will take precedence.
