Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Feb 2026) (Deviation 2026-O0038)
(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:
[Insert evaluation factors in the relative order of importance. For requests for proposals, state: Evaluation factors other than price when combined are [significantly more important than price/approximately equal to price/significantly less important] than price. For invitations for bids, list only price and price-related factors.]
The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offer. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1: Price Factor 2: Technical Acceptability Technical Acceptability is evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable (pass/fail) basis. Evaluation factors other than price (Technical Acceptability), when combined, are approximately equal to price, as they represent a minimum mandatory baseline for award. No tradeoffs will be made. Definition of Technical Acceptability: To be determined "Technically Acceptable," the Offeror must submit a digital product data sheet, rendering, or visual proof with their quote that affirmatively demonstrates the proposed U.S. and Indian prop currency meets the mandatory legal anti-counterfeiting specifications detailed in the solicitation. Specifically, for two-sided props printed at actual size, the submitted proofs must clearly show: Altered portraits (e.g., modified facial expressions). Altered vignettes (e.g., modified building designs). Explicit visual disclaimers printed clearly on the bills (e.g., "FOR MOTION PICTURE PURPOSES", "COPY", or "IN PROPS WE TRUST"). The complete absence of genuine security features and the use of modified, inaccurate border designs. Quotes failing to provide visual proof of these mandatory artistic deviations will be deemed in violation of federal law, evaluated as Technically Unacceptable, and immediately removed from consideration for award.
(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.
