52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) – ADDENDUM (Using 13.106 Procedures)

(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:

(i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;

(ii) price;

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: Two factors will be used to evaluate offerors’ quotes: technical acceptability and price.

Contract award will be made to the offeror who submits the lowest total evaluated price quote achieving a rating of “acceptable” for the Technical Acceptability factor. Past performance will be evaluated to assist in determining contractor responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 but will not be included as a sub factor or rated. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements including: terms and conditions, representations and certifications, technical requirements, and the evaluation factors and sub factors contained herein. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable for award. The offeror must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions with accompanying rationale. The evaluation shall proceed as follows.

1. Technical Acceptability – The Government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical quotes at the factor level, assigning an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” rating as defined below.

Acceptable – The quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation and Performance Work Statement. In order to be technically acceptable, the Offeror must provide all current certifications as stated above in the addendum to 52.212-1 Unacceptable – The quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation and Performance Work Statement. Any Offerors that are unable to provide current certifications at the time of bid will not be considered for award.

2. Price Evaluation – The Government will evaluate the offeror’s price quote, to include all options, for price completeness and reasonableness as described below.

(a) Completeness – The offeror’s price quote will be evaluated for completeness by confirming the offeror has provided unit and total price for all CLINs.

(b) Reasonableness - The offeror’s price will be evaluated for reasonableness through one or more of the methods specified in FAR 13.106-2 & 3.

(c) 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).

(d) 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.

Discussions: The government intends to award a purchase order without discussions with respective vendors/quoters. The government however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
