FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (Nov 2021)

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Relevant Experience, Past Performance and Price

(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.

Review below in the Quote Submission” paragraph to ensure your quote is complete.

The government will award a single contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation represents the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government may elect to accept other than the lowest-priced quote when the perceived benefits of a higher-priced quote merit the additional costs.

Evaluation Factors. All quoters submitting a price quotation must provide information in response to the Technical Evaluation criteria listed below. The NPS will assess each quote based on the following factors:

Evaluation factor 1 - Past Performance:

The Government will evaluate the degree to which the quoter successfully performed past projects similar in scope and complexity to the project detailed in this solicitation within the last five (3) years and satisfied past customers, using the quoter’s provided references. The areas of evaluation include quality, efficiency and effectiveness, adherence to terms and conditions of contract, timeliness, cooperativeness, commitment to customer satisfaction, and business relations. Past performance information from other sources, including the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), may also be utilized in the determination of the past performance record. In the case of a quoter without a record of past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the quoter will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.
