52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows:

Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(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:

Factor 1: Technical Capability and Experience - Include a description of your technical approach and expected timeframe to complete the project, equipment, supervision and personnel.

Factor 2: Past Performance - Two past performance reports showing similar work, in a similar environment, of a similar scale that has been completed before the associated performance evaluations. References shall be for projects completed in the last 3 years. The government may, at its discretion, base past performance on past knowledge and previous experience https://www.acquisition.gov/far/part-12#FAR_12_301 with the contractor, supply or service being provided, customer survey or other reasonable basis.

Factor 3: Price Proposal - Provide pricing for each unit, as well as total cost of the project.

This is a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) acquisition.

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal meets all the technical requirements of the SOW, has acceptable past performance, and is lowest priced. By submission of its quote an offeror certifies that it will meet all the requirements and perform all the services listed in the SOW unless the quote clearly states otherwise.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

The offeror is required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or criterion. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale.

(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.
