B. PART II – TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

Vendor shall submit technical information that clearly demonstrates their product meets the minimum technical requirements outlined in Attachment 1 - Handheld Spectrum Analyzers.

52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

This tailored clause takes precedence over the clause incorporated by reference.

a. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote 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:

Part I - Price Part II - Technical Documentation

Award will be made based on the competitive quote with the lowest total evaluated price that meets the technical criteria on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical criteria items are determined to be unacceptable that quote will not be evaluated further and will not be eligible for award.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Products and Commercia Services (Nov 2021).

1. Evaluation:

By submission of its quote, the vendor agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to adhere to all solicitation requirements may result in a quote being determined unacceptable and ineligible for further evaluation. The evaluation process is as follows:

Part I – Price Quote Evaluation The Government will place all quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest evaluated price. The Government will then evaluate the lowest total evaluated priced quote to determine if it is reasonable and Complete. If there is a conflict between the unit price and the overall price, the unit price will be used to determine the correct total evaluated price. Failure to quote for any price element, may cause the Vendor’s quote to be rejected as unacceptable.

Vendors whose evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 13.106-3) may not be considered for award.

Part II – Technical Documentation Evaluation Next, the three lowest evaluated priced vendors will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. For the lowest priced vendor to receive a rating of “Acceptable”, they shall submit technical information that clearly demonstrates their items meet the minimum requirements in terms of brand, description, quantity and part number as stated in Table 1 in this solicitation and Attachment 1 – 3 CTS Handheld Spectrum Analyzers Salient Characteristics. If the lowest evaluated priced vendor does not demonstrate all necessary requirements, it will receive an “Unacceptable” rating and evaluation of that quote will stop.

The technical factors will receive one of the following ratings listed below.

Rating Description

Rating Description Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. Basis of Award:

If the lowest evaluated priced vendor receives an “Acceptable” rating during the technical evaluation, that quote represents the most advantageous offer to the Government, evaluation of that quote is complete, and the evaluation process will stop. If the lowest evaluated priced quote receives an “Unacceptable” technical rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest evaluated priced vendor will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until a vendor is technically acceptable or until all vendors are evaluated.

Clarifications conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for a quote revision. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions (while keeping with FAR Part 12 and 13). The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists between the addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items and the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, the evaluation criteria in the addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items will take precedence.
