(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

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

(a) The Government will make a single award using a low price technically acceptable ("LPTA") source selection.

The Government intends to award on initial offers but reserves the right to conduct discussions.

To be determined technically acceptable, an offeror must submit a proposal that does not take exception to any term of the solicitation. The contracting officer will use the following rating table:

Rating Description Acceptable Proposal does not take exception to any term of solicitation and therefore clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal takes exception to a solicitation term(s) and therefore does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Price will be evaluated by totaling the prices for all line items and subline items, including options, for which the Government has requested the offeror provide a price.

An award will only be made to an offeror that satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104-1.

The contracting officer may either make a responsibility determination without requesting any information from an offeror or require the offeror provide information to substantiate that it satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104-1. The particular information requested from an offeror will be specific to that offeror. For example, an offeror that the contracting officer is less familiar with may be required to provide information not required from another offeror. The contracting officer may consider an offeror’s inability to promptly respond to a request for information as an indication the offeror is non-responsible since FAR 9.103(c) obligates prospective contractors to affirmatively demonstrate their responsibility.

When the contracting officer requests responsibility information, the contracting officer’s request, the offeror’s response, and all related communications between the Government and offeror are solely for the purpose of determining whether the offeror is responsible. These communications will not constitute discussions within the meaning of FAR 15.306 since the offeror will not be given an opportunity to revise its proposal.

While the contracting officer may require the offeror to provide any information related to the standards at FAR 9.104-1, the following are examples of information that may be required:

1. A demonstration, through information such as bank references and financial information (e.g., most current annual balance sheet), that the offeror has adequate financial resources to perform the contract.

2. A demonstration the offeror’s price is not so low as to call into question the offeror’s capability to successfully perform the contract.

3. Past performance information on recent contracts for items similar to this requirement, including a point of contact for the Government activity or commercial entity customer.

4. A demonstration the offeror can comply with the required performance schedule, including a transition plan.

5. A demonstration the offeror has, or can obtain, the organizational, management and technical skills to successfully perform. This demonstration may involve the particular personnel and approaches available to the offeror.

6. The offeror’s quality assurance procedures.

7. The equipment and facilities the contractor will use.

8. Information demonstrating a proposed subcontractor satisfies the FAR 9.104-1 general standards of responsibility.

9. Completion of the Section K Certifications and Representations contained in this solicitation.

10. A demonstration the offeror isn’t an inverted domestic corporation. 11. Certificate of registration of the company.

12. A demonstration the offeror has all registrations, permits and licenses required to perform the contract in the locations for which the offeror is proposing.

13. In the event the offeror is a joint venture, a Memorandum of Association which indicates who has the authority to bind the company

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

(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:

(Contracting Officer shall insert the significant evaluation factors, such as (i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement; (ii) price; (iii) past performance (see FAR 15.304); and include them in the relative order of importance of the evaluation factors, such as in descending order of importance.)

Technical and past performance, when combined, are . (Contracting Officer state, in accordance with FAR 15.304, the relative importance of all other evaluation factors, when combined, when compared to price.)

(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.

The Government reserves the right to award on initial offers.
