B.4 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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:

(1) Basis of Award. This procurement is being conducted pursuant to FAR Part 13 procedures. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. Offeror quotes will be evaluated in the following manner. Lowest-priced and special standards of responsibility are the only factors that will be used to evaluate offers (see FAR Provision 52.212-2). The lowest-priced offeror will be evaluated to determine if the quoted price exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement. If the offered price does not exceed the amount of funding available for the procurement, the quoted price will be evaluated to determine if it is reasonable. If the offered price and special standards of responsibility are found to be reasonable, the offeror who submitted this quote will be identified as the “successful offeror.”

The Contracting Officer will then determine if the successful offeror is responsible using the general standards of responsibility applicable to this procurement. If contract award cannot be made to the successful offeror, the Contracting Officer will evaluate the next lowest-priced offeror following the procedures described above. This process will continue until a contract award can be made or the Contracting Officer determines that no contract award can be made.

The Contracting Officer may find all offeror quotes not acceptable and cancel the solicitation if the lowest-priced offeror exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement. The

Contracting Officer may likewise find an offeror under evaluation, as well as all remaining offerors, not acceptable and cancel the solicitation if the offered quote currently under evaluation exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement. The Government intends to evaluate offerors and award a contract without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at any time if determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the Government’s best interest. In addition to the General Standards of Responsibility found in FAR 9.104-1 and in accordance with FAR 9.104-2, the following Special Standard of Responsibility applies to this procurement. Offerors who fail to meet the Special Standards of Responsibility will not be eligible to receive contract award.

(2) Special Standards of Responsibility. The following special standards of responsibility apply to this procurement:

SP1: Contractor’s License issued by a U.S. State or Territory in accordance with the current provisions of the State or Territorial Business and Professions Code. Submit with offer.

(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.
