FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used, using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 – Price Factor 2 – Technically Capability Factor 3 – Past Performance

Award will be made on the basis of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. By submission of its quote in accordance with the instructions provided in FAR clause 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, the quoter agrees to the terms of this solicitation.

Specifically, the evaluation process shall proceed as follows: First, the quotes will be ranked in price order from lowest to highest based on the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Next, the lowest ranked TEP quoter's Technical Capability and Past Performance will then be evaluated and receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order to be rated as Acceptable for Technical Capability, the quotes must meet the Government's minimum requirements. Past Performance should be recent, relevant and overall no negative history. Quoters with no past performance will be considered neutral and will receive a rating of Acceptable.

If the lowest ranked quoter’s Technical Capability or Past Performance is rated acceptable or neutral, the Government will use one or more techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2) and IAW FAR 15.404-1(g) to evaluate the quoted prices to determine fair and reasonableness and also to determine if unbalanced pricing exists. Unbalance quoted prices and any associated risk to the Government will be noted and considered in the making the award determination.

When technical capability is rated to be acceptable and the past performance is acceptable for the quote ranked as the lowest TEP, the prices are fair and reasonable, there is balanced pricing (or if unbalanced pricing does not pose an unacceptable risk) the Government will complete a responsibility determination IAW the criteria specified in FAR 9.104-1. If determined responsible, the evaluation process stops at this point as that quote represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quotes.

The next lowest ranked TEP quote will be evaluated [in order of ascending TEP] if the previous lowest ranked TEP quote was determined to be ineligible for award due to any of the following conditions: (1) technical capability or past performance was rated as unacceptable; (2) the price is determined not fair and reasonable;

(3) the pricing is unbalanced and poses an unacceptable risk to the Government: or (4) the quoter is found to be non-responsible; (5) does not possess an active Trade Waste Removal License and (if applicable) Waste Permits to conduct any business engaged in any and all of the removal, collection, or disposal of putrescible and non-putrescible materials or substances from commercial establishment in the state of Indian, New York, and Pennsylvania. This process will continue until a quoter is determined to have an acceptable technical capability and past performance rating with fair and reasonable prices and balanced pricing (or if unbalanced pricing exists it does not pose an unacceptable risk), and the quoter is deemed responsible or until all quotes have been evaluated.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base 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.
