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

Government intends to award a single award contract. The award will be made on the basis of the Best Value quote.

The Government intends to evaluate quote and awards without discussions. Best Value is defined as follows:

i. Technical Capability: Technical Capability of the items offered must meet the Government requirement as reflected in the PWS of this RFQ in accordance with the following subfactors. The combination of the ratings of below subfactors shall result in an overall Technical Capability rating of

“Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.”

1) Subfactor 1: Technical Acceptability. Supplies and services provided in the offeror’s quotations shall be clearly defined and meet or exceed all specifications that are requested in this RFQ. Offeror shall provide an annual (12-month) AND a month-to-month quote. If any items are missing, are unclearly quoted, or do not meet specifications in this RFQ, then this

Subfactor shall be rated “Unacceptable.”

2) Subfactor 2: Delivery. The required delivery date of the Subscriber Identifier Module (SIM)

Cards to and in the possession of the TPOC shall be no later than 1 April 2021 and service plans shall start no later than 1 April 2021. A delivery date and service plan start beyond 1

April 2021 shall receive an “Unacceptable” rating.

3) Subfactor 3: Business Origin. Services in accordance with the PWS shall require offeror’s employees to enter PSAB, KSA for performance. Per Host Nation (KSA) guidelines, employees from the following origins are not permitted onto PSAB and shall not be awarded the follow on contract: Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, and Bengal region.

Offeror shall provide a statement stating that the offeror shall not have employees of the above origins perform services in accordance with the PWS aboard PSAB, KSA. See paragraph 2.3.1 of the PWS.

The offeror must be deemed “Acceptable” in all three Subfactors in order to receive an

“Acceptable” for Technical Capability. An “Unacceptable” in any Subfactor will deem the offeror’s quote as “Unacceptable” for Technical Capability. For example, the offeror is deemed

“Acceptable” for Subfactors 1 and 3 but is deemed “Unacceptable” for Subfactor 2, then the

Technical Capability is rated as “Unacceptable.”

ii. Price: Price shall be evaluated based on the lowest offered price meeting or exceeding the Technical

Capability. Offerors shall be ranked in order of the lowest price to highest price. The lowest price offeror shall be evaluated first; if that offeror is deemed Technically Acceptable, then no other offers will be evaluated. If all offers are found to be with a Technical Capability of “Unacceptable,” then the evaluator will re-evaluate offers with Technical Capability Subfactors 1 and 3. All offered pricing shall be in USD, with a maximum of two (2) decimal points.

iii. Past Performance: Per DFARS 213.206(2)(b)(i), an evaluation of each offeror’s past performance history in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), for the FSC and PSC of the supplies being purchased, is required in the case of competitive procurements for supplies using SAP. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the FSC and PSC of the supplies being purchased, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are of the same importance when compared to price.

(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 sh all 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)
