52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (DEC 2014)

EVALUATION OF OFFERS – USING MINIMUM TECHNICAL CRITERIA, PRICE AND PAST PERFORMANCE FACTORS

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation in accordance with FAR 15.101-2 Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers.

(i) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY OF PROPOSED ITEM TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT

(ii) PAST PERFORMANCE

(iii) PRICE

Offerors' proposals will be evaluated first under Factor (i) above, which represents MINIMUM acceptable criteria. Under this factor, products offered will be determined to be either technically acceptable or unacceptable. Failure to meet the minimum criteria for this factor will render the offer to be technically unacceptable and it may not be considered further for award. See paragraph (b) below.

Only those Offers which meet the minimum requirements established by Factor (i) will be further evaluated under Factors (ii) and (iii). In the second step of evaluating those offers determined under Factor (i) to be technically acceptable, Factor (ii), PAST PERFORMANCE, shall be evaluated and only those Offers which meet the minimum requirements established by Factor (ii) to have acceptable or unknown past performance will be further evaluated under Factor (iii), PRICE.

At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors’. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the Offerors’ best terms from both a price and technical standpoint.

(b) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY TO PERFORM, Factor i, represents MINIMUM acceptable criteria. Offerors' technical information will be used to determine whether the services proposed meet the specifications included in this solicitation. Services offered, as provided in Offerors' technical information, will be evaluated as technically acceptable or technically unacceptable. Offers which are determined to be technically unacceptable may not be considered further for award. Offerors must be rated technically "Acceptable" in all 6 criteria areas to receive an overall technically "Acceptable" and in order to be evaluated for Past Performance (Factor II). Failure to meet technically acceptable standards in any one of the 6 criteria areas may result in a finding of technically "Unacceptable" for the entire proposal and the proposal may not be considered further for award. The term "technical," as used herein, refers to non-cost factors other than past performance. The purpose of the technical factor is to assess whether the Offeror's proposal will satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. The Technical Evaluation Team shall evaluate the Offeror's proposal against these requirements to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined in 52.212-2.

(c) Offeror’ s PAST PERFORMANCE information submitted as required by SECTION L Clause Contractor Performance Report, will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance of similar contracts performed within the past three years.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”
