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 Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) shall be applied in evaluation of quotes/proposals.
Basis for Award: The award of this requirement will be made on a competitive best value basis, using "best value tradeoff" among cost/price and non‐cost/price factors. A best value tradeoff process will be used, thus, the
Government may elect to award to other than the lowest priced offeror, or other than the offeror with the highest rated non‐cost/price proposal. Past Performance will be evaluated independently from the other non‐cost/price evaluation factors using different standards. The non‐cost/price evaluation factors (numbered in descending order of importance) are as follows:
Factor 1. Technical Approach
Factor 2: Experience
Factor 3. Past Performance
Government evaluators will not assume that the offeror possesses any capability or knowledge unless it is specified in the proposal.
After each of the above non-cost/price factors is rated individually, an overall rating will be assigned collectively to these factors. If any of the above non-cost/price evaluation factors receives an individual rating of “Unacceptable,” the collective overall rating will also be “Unacceptable.” Only proposals receiving an overall rating…
