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

(a) Basis for Award

The Government has determined that an award to the responsible Quoter that submits the Lowest-Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote in response to this solicitation will represent the best value to the

Government. Quotes will be evaluated to determine the LPTA quote based on the following factors:

Factor 1 Price

Factor 2 Technical Capability

A quote must be rated "ACCEPTABLE" for each non-price factor to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating for any non-price factor will result in the entire quote being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" overall; an overall rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a quote ineligible for award. A quote must contain sufficient information to enable evaluators to determine acceptability; if there is insufficient information to determine acceptability of the quote, the quote will be rated “UNACCEPTABLE” overall. Each of the evaluation factors will be rated as set forth below. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability.

The Government will evaluate the lowest priced quote for technical acceptability. If it is not acceptable, the

Government will evaluate the next lowest quote for technical acceptability, and so forth, to determine the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quote, at which point all evaluations will stop.

The Government reserves the right to request that the awardee reduce its total price, or adjust CLIN prices with no change to total price, in order to reduce administrative costs and avoid unnecessary burdens for the agency pursuant to FAR 13.002.

(b) Evaluation Factors

Factor 1: Price

Quotes must include a proposed price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) (see SF 1449 Continuation Sheet provided in this RFQ, pages 3 through 4). The Government will determine prices by adding the total proposed price for all CLINS. Quotes will be ranked from lowest- to highest-priced.

Factor 2: Technical Capability

The Government will evaluate the lowest priced Quoter for acceptability of Technical Capability. If the quote is not found to be acceptable, the Government will evaluate the next lowest quote for acceptability of technical capability, and so forth, to determine the lowest-priced quote that is acceptable for Technical Capability.

Technical Capability evaluations will result in one of the following ratings:

TABLE 1 - TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Minimum Requirements:

The following are the minimum requirements a quote must meet to be deemed acceptable for the Technical

Capability factor:

1) The quoted supplies shall meet the solicitation requirements including the technical specification set forth in this solicitation, delivery dates, and all other terms and conditions stated in the solicitation.

PRICE

The quoter’s price will be evaluated on the basis of price reasonableness. The evaluation may include, but is not limited to:

a. Price comparison with other quoters;

b. Comparison with Independent Government Estimates.

Quoters responding to this solicitation are advised that, prior to award, the government may request quoters to submit information/data to support price reasonableness such as copies of paid invoices for the same or similar items, sales history for the same or similar items, price list with effective date and/or copies of catalog pages along with any applicable discounts.

The Government reserves the right to request that the awardee reduce its total price, or adjust CLIN prices with no change to total price, in order to reduce administrative costs and avoid unnecessary burdens for the agency pursuant to FAR 13.002.

QUESTIONS: Quoters shall submit any questions in relation to this solicitation to Chris Rolince by email at

Christopher.c.rolinc@navy.mil. The cut-off date for questions is 10:00 am on 06 July 2021.

(c) Contract Award

The Government shall email a written notice of award to the successful quoter. Upon receipt, the quoter shall either commence performance, or have an authorized representative sign the award and return it to the Contracting Officer;

a binding contract is formed upon the earlier of either of those actions.
