52.212-2 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:

Basis of Single Award - Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA)

1. Offers will be evaluated using a single award lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) process among cost or price and non-cost factors. The actual evaluation basis is incorporated into this solicitation for offeror reference only and may not include or be all inclusive of items evaluated. The final completed version is for Government Official

Use Only. The following factors should be used to evaluate offers: Technical Acceptability is defined as meeting all the tasks and delivery schedule stated in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

(i) Technical Acceptability will be evaluated by comparing the offeror’s quote to the tasks and delivery schedule in the PWS. The offeror shall include descriptive narrative in the quote to ensure that the tasks and delivery schedule are meet in accordance with the PWS, for evaluation purposes.

(ii) Price will be evaluated to determine offer fair and reasonable.

(iii) Past Performance will be evaluated to determine responsibility of the offeror to satisfy the requirement. Technical Acceptability (i) will be the primary evaluating factor for this requirement followed by Price (ii) then Past Performance (iii) in order of precedence.

2. Past Performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis. The apparent successful, prospective contractor must have acceptable past performance. The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPSR) application

(https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil ) will be used in the evaluation of suppliers' past performance history for the FSC and

PSC of the supplies being purchased in accordance with DFARS 213.106-2(b)(i). Any contractor with a Supplier

Risk Score in the lowest 5% will be rated as 'unacceptable' unless information is so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the contractor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performancee.

In the case of an apparent successful, prospective contractor 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 contractor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

Therefore, the contractor shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" will be considered "Acceptable."
