Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Feb 2026)

(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:

i. Price

ii. Relative Experience, as defined as the number of contracts the contractor has performed that are equal or greater in tasks that are similar to the task identified in the performance work statement.

iii. Past Performance, as defined as the number of contracts the contractor has and the documentation that identifies how well their performance was in those contracts that are similar to the task identified in the performance work statement.

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.
