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

(a) Evaluation factors: 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.

(i) price;

(ii) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;

SEE AWARD SELECTION PROCESS section below

(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.

This solicitation is not stating nor required to state the importance assigned to each evaluation factor and/or sub factor (FAR 12.203(c)(2)).

1. Price: A price evaluation will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price. Reasonableness will be determined considering other competitive prices received and comparison to the independent Government estimate. If multiple contract line items are included in the price schedule, prices will also be evaluated to determine whether any line items are unbalanced. Offerors are cautioned to distribute costs appropriately.

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.
