CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2018)

(End of Provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS:

Paragraph (c) is changed to read: Period for acceptance of offers. The Offeror agree to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(End of Addendum)

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 the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable offeror.

(b) 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).

(c) 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.

(End of provision)

B. Non-Price Evaluation Factors and Subfactors:

1. Factor 1- Technical:

(a) Subfactor 1 Past Experience: The contractor shall show past experience materials, which may be in the form of invoices, brochures, photographs or other materials, which provide evidence of performing identical or “like” repair/return, maintenance, calibration, technical support, and on-site troubleshooting services for metals analyzer.

C. Price Evaluation Factor: Offerors shall complete the Schedule B with pricing for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), including for all Option Years. The price for CLINs 0003, 1003, and 2003 will be set by the Government and will not be evaluated. The Government may require continued performance under FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. The Government will evaluate the basic and all option year prices on the basis that the rates will not change if the Government opts to utilize its option per FAR clause 52.217-8 at the end of the basic or any option year during the performance of the contract. Evaluation of the option year pricing in this manner shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

D. Proposals will be evaluated initially independently of the price to determine the Offerors’ ability to meet the Government’s requirement set forth in the solicitation. The Government may make a final rating determination based on the proposal as submitted without requesting any further information. For all proposals determined to be Technically Acceptable, the offer providing the lowest price will receive the contract award.

1. Offerors’ technical proposals will receive an overall rating based on the following:

(a) Technically Acceptable: Offeror meets all requirements or technical specifications or has submitted all documentation requested in any technical evaluation criteria and all documentation meets the standard set forth in the solicitation.

(b) Technically Unacceptable: Offeror fails to meet all requirements or technical specifications or has failed to comply in submitting requested documentation in any technical evaluation criteria or the submitted documentation fails to meet the standard set forth in the solicitation.

2. Evaluation of past performance will be performed only on proposals that receive a technically acceptable rating on technical evaluation factors. Offerors’ past performance information will receive an overall rating based on the following:

(a) Acceptable: Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown. An Offeror 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, shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability or unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(b) Unacceptable: Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be…
