FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

(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:

Price and Technical Capabilities

(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.

(d) Past Performance: Past performance will be reviewed to identify potentially damaging information. Companies with multiple unsatisfactory performances, recent and relevant to this requirement, will not being considered technically acceptable. Past performance confidence ratings will not be assigned.

Factor 1. Evaluation of Price

Price will be evaluated in accordance with RFO FAR 12.204(a) to ensure the Government receives a fair and reasonable price. If the Government cannot determine the proposed pricing to be fair and reasonable, then "Other Than Certified Cost and Pricing Data" will be obtained from the offeror.

Factor 2: Evaluation of Technical Capabilities

The technical rating reflects the degree to which the offeror's technical volume meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements. The focus is on the ability of the offer to meet the minimum requirements of the SOW. The offeror shall submit information clearly identifying how they will meet the following technical criteria:

Subfactor 1 – Quote submission must adequately demonstrate the ability to provide the services outlined in the Statement of Work

Subfactor 2 – Quote submission shall demonstrate the ability to provide on-site training.

Table A-1: Technical Ratings

Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Evaluation Process For purposes of efficiency, the Government will evaluate a minimum of the three (3) lowest priced offerors for technical and past performance acceptability. If the three lowest priced offerors are evaluated with an "Acceptable" rating in past performance and are determined to be responsible in accordance with RFO 9.103, the evaluation process will stop at this point. If one of the three (3) lowest priced offerors is determined to be "Unacceptable" in technical or past performance or is determined to be nonresponsible in accordance with RFO 9.104, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated for technical and past performance acceptability and the process will continue (in order of price ranking) until three offerors are evaluated as having "Acceptable" technical and past performance and are determined responsible.
