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

(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:

The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract as a result of this solicitation in accordance with FAR Part 12, and FAR Part 13. Award will be made in accordance with FAR 13 after the price is determined to be fair and reasonable to a small business. The Government intends to evaluate and award a contract based on initial quote; therefore, the Quoter’s initial quote should contain the Quoter’s best terms from a price standpoint.

Total price will be evaluated taking into the account the total FFP for the supplies. Price analysis using procedures of FAR 13.106-3 will be used to evaluate price reasonableness. The Government may evaluate any and all information submitted by the vendor to support the reasonableness of prices proposed. The method of evaluation used by the Contracting Officer is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer

(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.
