Evaluation Methodology

In accordance with FAR Part 13 the Government will award a firm fixed price 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:

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA), evaluation method. Technical Acceptability is defined as:

1) Meeting all requirements as defined in the solicitation, to include submission of all Quote submission documents referenced in Instructions for the Preparation of Offers (FAR 52.212-1 Addendum). Failure to submit ANY of the required document listed in “Offer Submission Documents (52.212-1 Addendum)” will render your quote non- responsive and thus not eligible for award.

Failure to acknowledge any and all amendments will render your quote non-responsive and thus not eligible for award.

2) Authorized Vendors and Manufacturers. This requirement will ensure that devices are not counterfeit or adulterated devices, have maintained adequate storage conditions, and any warranties and service and/or maintenance agreements are transferred and will be honored by the offeror. Offerors that are 3rd party or pass through will not be accepted.

3) Acceptable rating in “Past Performance”.

Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2. Past Performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis. The apparent successful, prospective contractor must have “acceptable” past performance. System for Award Management (SAM.gov) exclusions list, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) shall be considered as part of the past performance evaluation process. Any past performance that is found to be “Negative”, shall result in the entire Past Performance rating as “Unacceptable”.

“Negative” is defined as any CPARS past performance evaluation rated less than “Satisfactory”, any Terminations for Default/Cause, or any negative performance references will be rated as ‘Unacceptable’. Note: 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. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.” Any past performance that is found to be “negative”, mailto:connie.faulkner@usda.gov shall result in the entire Past Performance rating as “Unacceptable” making the overall Technical Acceptability as “Unacceptable”.

(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-

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:

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable

Technical Acceptability is defined as:

1) Meeting all requirements as defined in the solicitation, to include submission of all Quote submission documents referenced in

Instructions for the Preparation of Offers (FAR 52.212-1 Addendum). Failure to submit ANY of the required document listed in

“Offer Submission Documents (52.212-1 Addendum)” will render your quote non-responsive and thus not eligible for award. Failure to acknowledge any and all amendments will render your quote non-responsive and thus not eligible for award.

2) Authorized Vendors and Manufacturers. This requirement will ensure that devices are not counterfeit or adulterated devices, have maintained adequate storage conditions, and any warranties and service and/or maintenance agreements are transferred and will be honored by the offeror. Offerors that are 3rd party or pass through will not be accepted.

3) Acceptable rating in “Past Performance”.

Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2. Past Performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or

“unacceptable” basis. The apparent successful, prospective contractor must have “acceptable” past performance. System for Award

Management (SAM.gov) exclusions list, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, and Contractor

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) shall be considered as part of the past performance evaluation process. Any past performance that is found to be “Negative”, shall result in the entire Past Performance rating as “Unacceptable”. “Negative” is defined as any CPARS past performance evaluation rated less than “Satisfactory”, any Terminations for Default/Cause, or any negative performance references will be rated as ‘Unacceptable’. Note: 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. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered

“acceptable.” Any past performance that is found to be “negative”, shall result in the entire Past Performance rating as

“Unacceptable” making the overall Technical Acceptability as “Unacceptable”.
