52.212-2 Evaluation — Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021) (DEVIATION Mar 2026)

(a) The Government may award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsive offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and is evaluated as the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Quotes will receive a preliminary review to determine whether the quote contains sufficient information, as required by the solicitation, to allow the government to perform a meaningful evaluation. If the results of this preliminary review indicate that the quote lacks sufficient information to allow a meaningful evaluation to be conducted, the Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer may eliminate the quote from further evaluation and consideration for an award.

The government will evaluate quotes in groups of three (3), starting with the lowest priced quotes, proceeding upward, incrementally in price, until an offeror is identified as having the technical capability, management, experience, etc. acceptable past performance, and a price that can be determined as fair and reasonable. At that point, the evaluation process stops, and an award will be made to the selected Offeror.

If an award is determined to be in the best interest of the government, it will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, therefore the evaluation procedures at FAR 13.106-2 will be used. A firm-fixed price award will be made to the responsive offeror submitting a quote that provides the best value to the Government. In determining best value, the following factors will be considered: (1) Technical (2) Past Performance and (3) Price.

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 https://www.sam.gov/ https://www.napex.us/ https://www.apexaccelerators.us/#/
