SECTION M - 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 quote represents the lowest price technically acceptable. The Government intends to make award based on initial quotations; however, the Government reserves the right to engage in exchanges prior to award as the Contracting

Officer deems necessary to award a contract most advantageous to the Government . The Government may eliminate from further consideration any offer which fails to conform to the instructions in this solicitation.

If more than one quote is received, quotes shall be ranked in order of lowest price to highest price. Evaluations will commence with the lowest priced quote. Award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable quote with acceptable past performance..

Technical Acceptability is defined as having a credible approach to meeting all specifications and requirements provided in Sections B and C, including having all valid reseller agreements necessary to provide what will be required by the contract.

The apparent successful, prospective contractor must have an acceptable record of recent (defined as performance record within the past 5 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation) and relevant (defined as the extent of similarity between the support effort, complexity, dollar value, or other comparable attributes of past performance and the requirements of this solicitation) past performance. The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) application (https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil), the Contractor Performance Assessment and Reporting System

(CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and any other sources available to the Government may be utilized to evaluate Past Performance.

Acceptable Past Performance is defined as: Based on the offeror’s past 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 (see note below).

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of recent (defined as performance record within the past 5 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation) and relevant (defined as the extent of similarity between the support effort, complexity, dollar value, or other comparable attributes of past performance and the requirements of this solicitation) past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available or is so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable”.

(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 or if the offeror did not include prices for the base period and all options periods for all CLINs. 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.

(d ) The Government will not award to an offeror whose quote indicates that it will provide goods or services prohibited by statute, the FAR or an applicable FAR supplement, or other applicable regulation.
