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 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:

Factor 1: Technical Capability Factor 2: Price

Basis for Award:

Award of this contract shall be made on a best value basis using “Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA)” approach. Evaluation will be made to identify all Offerors whose quotes are technically acceptable in accordance with this RFQ and the evaluation criteria set forth below. Award will be made to the technically acceptable Offeror whose price is the lowest. The Offeror’s quote will be evaluated to ensure the Government receives a technically acceptable quote at a fair and reasonable price. Technical acceptability will be determined by evaluating the following non-price factor:

Factor 1: Technical Capability

After the above non-price factor is rated individually, an overall rating will be assigned collectively to the factor. If the above non-price evaluation factor receives an individual rating of “Unacceptable”, the collective overall rating will also be “Unacceptable”. Only proposals receiving an overall rating of “Acceptable” will be considered for award.

Evaluation Criteria:

The Offeror’s quote for this requirement will be evaluated using the following criteria. An evaluation for technical acceptability will be made to ensure satisfactory responsiveness to the requirements set forth in this RFQ. The non-price factor will be rated “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” using the following rating standards:

Rating Description Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation (RFQ).

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation (RFQ).

Factor 1: Technical Capability

The Offeror’s quote shall be evaluated to the degree to which the Offeror demonstrates:

• Offeror’s ability to providing on-site quarterly, semi-annual and annual on-site maintenance in confined spaces that are difficult to get into (require climbing and rigging in tight spaces) and which may be very warm/hot.

• Offeror’s ability to responding to emergency maintenance and repair requests to include guaranteed maximum response time.

• Offeror’s ability to utilizing factory trained service technicians to include a description of the technician certification and/or training process.

• Offeror’s ability to obtaining necessary repair and replacement parts in a timely fashion using only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) (MECO) new or OEM refurbished repair parts.

• Offeror’s ability to providing a proposed detailed annual schedule for completing planned maintenance, an example maintenance service report, and identification of any anticipated subcontractors.

Factor 2: Price

The Offeror’s proposed price shall be evaluated separately from the non-price evaluation factor. Price quote evaluation is to determine whether the Offeror’s proposed price is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. Price analysis will be used to determine the total evaluated price to support the selection of the Technically Acceptable Offeror.

Given that FAR 52.217-8 “Option to Extend Services” provides that the Government may exercise the Option to Extend Services at the rates specified in the contract (i.e., the rates in effect when the Extension of Services option is exercised), for purposes of evaluating the Option to Extend Services, the Contracting Officer will consider the prices submitted for the base year and each option year, since those are the binding prices should the FAR 52.217-8 “Option to Extend Services” be exercised.

(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.
