52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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:

Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable responsive responsible offeror with an acceptable past performance (by reviewing the PPIRS-SR NG database).

The evaluation team will consider the technically acceptable responsive responsible offeror with an acceptable past performance (by reviewing the Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) database) of the first low offeror eligibility. If the first low offeror is not determined to be eligible, the evaluation team will consider the next low offeror eligibility. If the next low offer is not determined to be eligible, the evaluation team will consider the third low offeror eligibility until an eligible offeror is identified.

(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.
