52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (Nov 2021)

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(a) The Government will utilize a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method for this requirement. The Government will award a single contract to the offeror whose proposal is technically acceptable, the lowest price, is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items, in conjunction with FAR Subpart 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, and FAR 19, Small Business Program, as supplemented, by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS), and whose offer conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, and all other information required by the solicitation). Offers that fail to address all the requirements set forth in the Solicitation will be rejected. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror's submission should contain their best terms from a cost and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government reserves the right to reject an offer upon initial submission and not consider it for contract award if any required data is absent or the data received conveys a misunderstanding of the requirement.

BASIS FOR AWARD:

The Government will evaluate the contractor's technical proposal to ensure that it reflects a sound understanding of this requirement and complies with the requirements in the solicitation. An evaluation will be made to verify that the offeror is capable of providing the required services at a fair market price. Award will be made based on lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) offeror. A determination of a fair and reasonable price will be conducted. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) will be used to evaluate the offer and award this requirement.

EVALUATION CRITERIA. Evaluation criteria consist of factors and elements.

The following factors and subfactors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Capability. The Technical Capability Factor evaluation provides an assessment of the offeror's capability to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. The Government will evaluate the contractor's technical proposal to ensure that it reflects a sound understanding of this requirement. Failure to meet the criteria will render the proposal technically unacceptable and the proposal will not receive further consideration for award.

The Contractor shall be a fully accredited seminary or school of theology recognized by the Department of Education and the Association of Theological Schools.

Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror's methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the RFP.

Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

Subfactor 1 - Management Approach. The Government will evaluate responders' proposed methodology for staffing planning, organizing, directing, and controlling its staff in performance of the tasks identified in the PWS and associated attachments. The document will be evaluated based on the soundness of the approach, the feasibility of the approach, and the comprehensiveness of the document. An assessment of the proposed professional experience, managing, coordinating, and controlling the execution and communications will be evaluated on likelihood of success.

Subfactor 2 - Staffing Approach. The Government will evaluate how the offeror identified personnel/ labor categories (positions essential for contract performance) deemed necessary to satisfy the requirement of the PWS. The Government will evaluate how proposed personnel fit into the overall organization and how they describe the proposed responsibilities for each position. The Government will evaluate how the offeror is going to ensure that all the requirements of the contract/PWS will be met during vacancies in the offeror's staff due to resignations, leave, etc.

The Technical Factor will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below:

RATING DEFINITION

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

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