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. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

(i) price;

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

(iii) prior experience

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. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(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. 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.

AWARD SELECTION PROCESS

BASIS FOR AWARD

Award will be made in accordance with Simplified Acquisition evaluation procedures as set forth by FAR Part 12 – will be applied in the comparative evaluation of quotations to the offeror that provides the best value and most advantageous to the government based on price, technical, and prior experience. Technical Capability, prior experience and price will be evaluated by comparing quotes using an efficient and minimally burdensome process. This solicitation is not stating nor required to state the relative importance assigned to each evaluation factor and/or sub factor (FAR 12.203(c)(2)). The government reserves the right to consider any offer submitted in response to the solicitation, regardless of date/time prior to making a final award decision.

1. Price: a detailed breakdown of offeror’s price may be requested by the CO during evaluation

2. Technical Capability: Technical is the factual documentation of the firm’s ability to meet the specifications.

a. Offeror should submit any relevant evidence sufficient of technical capability which validates the offeror possesses, or has the ability to obtain, the technical knowledge, capability, business and managerial acumen, and experience to successfully perform a contract of the size and scope as described in this solicitation.

b. Failure to provide sufficient information so that the evaluation team cannot discern if the offeror has a thorough understanding of the work in question may lead to this item being deemed insufficient.

c. Further documentation may include, but is not limited to, additional references, identification of previous government contracts performed, licenses and or certifications, company capability statement/bio, photographs of relevant completed projects and awards, certificates of achievement, and letters of recognition pertinent to the disciplines/trades required of the work described in this solicitation.

3. Prior Experience: is the factual documentation or narrative of a firm’s experience, qualifications, and capability, along with providing examples of their firm’s most recent and relevant projects within the past five (5) years of similar size and scope.

a. Failure to provide sufficient information may lead to this item being deemed insufficient.

The government will evaluate quotes in groups of three (3), starting with the lowest priced quotes, proceeding upward, incrementally in price, until an awardee is selected. At that point, the evaluation process stops, and award will be made to the selected Offeror.

Price Reasonableness. A contract may not be awarded if the offeror’s price results in a cost to the government which is determined by the government not to be fair and reasonable. In determining the reasonableness and fairness of the offeror’s price, the contracting officer shall use competition and comparison of offers submitted or review prices found reasonable on previous purchases, the contracting officer’s personal knowledge of the products being purchased, and services being performed, comparison to an independent Government estimate, or any other reasonable basis. 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. The contracting officer will determine whether the final price is fair and reasonable and constitutes a fair market price.

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract without exchanges with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial quotation should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The Contracting Officer will also review the contractor’s past performance prior to making a final award decision.

The Government reserves the right to select a quote that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum but is not required to do so.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified constitutes an offer by the government. The contractor and Contracting Officer will both sign the final award to bind both parties. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether there are exchanges or negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

52.225-9 -- Buy American–Construction Materials (Oct 2022) DEVIATION DATE

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is–

(i) A commercial product (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition of “commercial product” at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

"Construction material" means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site.

Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

Cost of components means—

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

Critical component means a component that is mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States and deemed critical to the U.S. supply chain. The list of critical components is at FAR 25.105.

Critical item means a domestic construction material or domestic end product that is deemed critical to U.S. supply chain resiliency. The list of critical items is at FAR 25.105.

Domestic construction material means—

(1) For construction material that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both-

(i) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States; or http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title46-section40102(4)&num=0&edition=prelim

140P6426Q0069 Heat Pump Replacement - BRVB Page 17 of 29

(ii) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if–

(A) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 60 percent of the cost of all its components, except that the percentage will be 65 percent for items delivered in calendar years 2024 through 2028 and 75 percent for items delivered starting in calendar year 2029. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic. Components of unknown origin are treated as foreign; or

(B) The construction material is a COTS item; or

(2) For construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, a construction material manufactured in the United States if the cost of foreign iron and steel constitutes less than 5 percent of the cost of all components used in such construction material. The cost of foreign iron and steel includes but is not limited to the cost of foreign iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the construction material and a good faith estimate of the cost of all foreign iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners. Iron or steel components of unknown origin are treated as foreign. If the construction material contains multiple components, the cost of all the materials used in such construction material is calculated in accordance with the definition of "cost of components".

Fastener means a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. Examples of fasteners are nuts, bolts, pins, rivets, nails, clips, and screws.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

Foreign iron and steel means iron or steel products not produced in the United States. Produced in the United States means that all manufacturing processes of the iron or steel must take place in the United States, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives. The origin of the elements of the iron or steel is not relevant to the determination of whether it is domestic or foreign.

Predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both means that the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners.

Steel means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between 0.02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.

"United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the domestic content test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item, except that for construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, the domestic content test is applied only to the iron and steel content of the construction materials, excluding COTS fasteners. The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial product or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: NONE http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title41-chapter83&saved=%7CZ3JhbnVsZWlkOlVTQy1wcmVsaW0tdGl0bGU0MC1jaGFwdGVyMzctZnJvbnQ%3D%7C%7C%7C0%7Cfalse%7Cprelim&edition=prelim http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title41-section1907&num=0&edition=prelim

________________________________________________[Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate "none"]

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that-

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable.

(A) For domestic construction material that is not a critical item or does not contain critical components.

(1) The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 20 percent;

(2) For construction material that is not a COTS item and does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, if the cost of a particular domestic construction material is determined to be unreasonable or there is no domestic offer received, and the low offer is for foreign construction material that is manufactured in the United States and does not exceed 55 percent domestic content, the Contracting Officer will treat the lowest offer of foreign construction material that exceeds 55 percent domestic content as a domestic offer and determine whether the cost of that offer is unreasonable by applying the evaluation factor listed in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(A)(1) of this clause.

(3) The procedures in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(A)(2) of this clause will no longer apply as of January 1, 2030.

(B) For domestic construction material that is a critical item or contains critical components.

(1) The cost of a particular domestic construction material that is a critical item or contains critical components, subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute, is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 20 percent plus the additional preference factor identified for the critical item or construction material containing critical components listed at FAR 25.105.

(2) For construction material that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, if the cost of a particular domestic construction material is determined to be unreasonable or there is no domestic offer received, and the low offer is for foreign construction material that does not exceed 55 percent domestic content, the Contracting Officer will treat the lowest foreign offer of construction material that is manufactured in the United States and exceeds 55 percent domestic content as a domestic offer, and determine whether the cost of that offer is unreasonable by applying the evaluation factor listed in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(B)(1) of this clause.

(3) The procedures in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(B)(2) of this clause will no longer apply as of January 1, 2030.

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.
