52.204-19 Incorporation by Reference of Representations and Certifications (DEC 2014)

The Contractor's representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.

(End of clause)

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:

BASIS OF AWARD - Lowest Price Technically Acceptable - Offers will be ranked lowest to highest according to price. The lowest price offer will be forwarded to the requiring activity for technical evaluation (offer will be deemed either technically acceptable or technically unacceptable). If the low offer is found technically acceptable and its price is determined fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer, evaluation will be deemed complete and award will be made based on the low offer. If the low offer is determined technically unacceptable, the next lowest price offer will be sent for technical evaluation. This process is repeated in order of price until an offer is deemed technically acceptable and price is determined fair and reasonable.

(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.

(End of provision)

52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (MAR 2015) ALTERNATE I (OCT 2014)
