52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

Evaluation Criteria:

The Government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order as a result of this solicitation in accordance with FAR Part 12 “Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services” and FAR Subpart

13.5 “Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services”. Award will be made to the quoter whose quote is most advantageous to the Government under the selection criteria set forth in this solicitation. The Government will award on the basis of price unless the Contracting Officer is aware of past performance information related to the low price quote which indicates that quoter may not represent best value. In that case, the Government reserves the right to consider the past performance of other quotes, conduct a price, past performance tradeoff, and award to other than the lowest price quote.

The selection of a quoter for award will be conducted in two phases. Phase I will consist of the evaluation of Factor I

– Brand Name or Equal. Quoters receiving an “Acceptable” rating in Phase I shall move on to Phase II. Phase II will consist of the evaluation of Factor II – Price. All quoters with Acceptable for Factor I will be ranked by price in

Phase II and the lowest price that is most advantageous to the Government will receive the award.

Nothing in this provision limits the Contracting Officer’s discretion to rely on information available from other sources (e.g., past performance databases, discussions with other entities familiar with the quoter) or to use any other technique described FAR 9.1 when determining whether the quoter satisfies the FAR 9.104-1 general responsibility standards.

Factor I – Brand Name or Equal

This volume shall address this factor and include all information required for quote evaluation. This volume of the quote shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the quote.

The requirement is “Brand Name or Equal” if brand name item is not quoted the equal item shall meet minimum specifications and salient characteristic required. See Schedule of Supplies.

The below rating table will be used in the evaluation of the non-price Factor I, Brand Name or Equal.
