CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

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:

1.0 “LOWEST PRICE, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE” EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1.0.1 Basis for Award

Award of this order shall be made on a competitive best value basis using the “lowest price, technically acceptable” basis. Evaluation shall be made to identify all Offerors whose quotes are technically acceptable in accordance with the solicitation and the evaluation criteria set forth below. Technical acceptability shall be determined by evaluating each Offeror’s quote with the MECs/salient characteristics and delivery schedule in the Solicitation. All technical evaluation criteria must be rated Acceptable to be considered for award. Award shall be made to the Offeror from the pool of technically acceptable quotes, whose price is lowest.

An offeror is expected to submit sufficient information in response to the solicitation to allow for the evaluation of his/her quotation.

1.0.2 Evaluation Criteria

Each Offeror’s quote will be evaluated using the following criteria:

1.0.2.1 Technical Capabilities/Specifications/Salient Characteristics The degree to which the Offeror’s technical quote demonstrates to the government evaluators that the offeror can provide the requested four Alaris MedSystem III Infusion Pumps with accessories, Brand Name or Equal; with the requested technical capabilities/salient characteristics described in the MECs and delivery schedule in the solicitation.

Acceptable: A quote is acceptable if it demonstrates to the government evaluators that the offeror can provide the requested four Alaris MedSystem III Infusion Pumps with accessories, Brand Name or Equal; with the requested technical capabilities/salient characteristics described in the MECs and can meet the delivery schedule.

Unacceptable: A quote shall be deemed unacceptable if the offeror fails to demonstrate the ability to provide the requested four Alaris MedSystem III Infusion Pumps with accessories, Brand Name or Equal; with the requested technical capabilities/salient characteristics described in the MECs, and cannot meet the delivery schedule. A lack of minimum content or failure to address all evaluated areas could render a quote unacceptable.

1.0.2.2 Price Evaluation (all CLINs shall be priced)

The offeror's initial quote shall contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

I. Completeness. The offeror has submitted CLIN total price, and total contract price, completed all required representations and certifications, and acknowledgement of any amendments.

II. Reasonableness. The Government's determination that the proposed price is fair and reasonable based on price analysis. The degree to which the offeror's proposed price represents a fair and reasonable price will be evaluated using the techniques in FAR 15.305(1), which provides that comparison of the proposed prices will usually satisfy the requirement for price analysis.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions. 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 make no award of a contract as a result of this solicitation.

(b) 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.
