(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(e) Debriefings. If a post award debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s offer.

(End of provision)

52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a firm-fixed price (FFP) contract from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes: Technical Acceptability, Price, and Delivery Schedule.

Technical Acceptability: The Government will evaluate the vendor’s technical quote to determine whether the offered product satisfies all minimum requirements identified in the attached Salient Characteristics. A quote that fails to demonstrate compliance with any minimum requirement may be determined technically unacceptable.

Price: The Government will evaluate the total quoted price, inclusive of shipping/transportation charges to the delivery destination.

Delivery Schedule: The Government will evaluate the vendor’s proposed delivery schedule.

Basis for Award: Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose technically acceptable quote represents the best value to the Government, considering price and delivery schedule. Price is more important than delivery schedule.

(b) 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.
