52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) “TAILORED”

(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:

Personnel must be certified to provide service on Brand Name stated in the CLINs.

This procurement is a Small Business Setaside. All responsible small business sources may submit a response, which if timely received, will be considered by the agency.

Quotes will be evaluated and ranks according to price, from lowest to highest. The Government reserves the right to evaluate only the technical proposal of the lowest price offeror. Other technical proposals may not be evaluated unless the Government determines the lowest price offeror to be unacceptable or non-responsive. In the event that

Government determines the lowest price offeror to be unacceptable, the technical proposal of the next lowest price offeror will be evaluated. This process will continue until a technical proposal is determined to be acceptable.

Technical acceptability will be based on the demonstrated ability to meet the technical requirements, including the delivery requirement. A mere statement that the vendor “will meet the Government’s requirements” is insufficient;

the vendor must demonstrate how it will meet the requirement. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) will be evaluated on: (1) price; (2) technical (Brand Name); and (3) delivery.

To ensure technical compliance with the requirements, vendor quotes shall include the following information:

a. Vendor Specifications. The manufacturer’s name and manufacturer’s complete part numbers of items shall be submitted in the quote.

b. Vendor’s quote shall include an active Cage Code and Federal Tax Identification number. Vendors are required to be registered with SAM database and have an active cage code at the time of award.

c. Delivery Information. Clearly state if the quoter can meet the requested delivery as stated in each CLIN. If not, then state the best delivery date.

Past performance will be verified via the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

(b) 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.

(c) Quotes are to be submitted via email to deborah.woleslagle@usmc.mil or by fax at 910-451-2331 by the response date notated on the solicitation.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability.
