FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Addendum).

Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

(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:

This evaluation will be in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)- Evaluation of Quotations or Offers.

CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING QUOTE

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA), evaluation method.

Technically Acceptable is defined as:

1) Meeting all requirements as defined in the solicitation

2) Acceptable rating in “Technical Capability”

3) Acceptable rating in “Past Performance”.

To achieve an “Acceptable” rating for Technical Capability the offeror must provide the required fertilizers and pesticides for delivery upon receipt of order. These chemicals are required immediately and any offer that provides delayed delivery that cannot be made upon receipt will be found Unacceptable in Technical Capability.

Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2. Past Performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable basis. The apparent successful, prospective contractor must have acceptable past performance. System for Award Management (SAM.gov) exclusions list, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, and Fedbid Alert comments, shall be considered as part of the past performance evaluation process. Any contractor with past performance less than satisfactory will be rated as ‘unacceptable’. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Quotes shall be ranked in order of lowest price to highest price. The lowest priced offer that is “Technically Acceptable” will be selected for award.

(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.
