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/Approach

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). The Government will determine prices by adding the total proposed price for all CLINS, including all options. 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, at which point evaluators will evaluate the acceptability of that quoter’s Past Performance.

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

TABLE 1 - TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly 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
