(i) All supplies furnished under this contract will be free from defects in material or workmanship and will conform with all requirements of this contract; and

(ii) The preservation, packaging, packing, and marking, and the preparation for, and method of, shipment of such supplies will conform with the requirements of this contract.

(2) When return, correction, or replacement is required, transportation charges and responsibility for the supplies while in transit shall be borne by the Contractor. However, the Contractor's liability for the transportation charges shall not exceed an amount equal to the cost of transportation by the usual commercial method of shipment between the place of delivery specified in this contract and the Contractor's plant, and return.

(3) Any supplies or parts thereof, corrected or furnished in replacement under this clause, shall also be subject to the terms of this clause to the same extent as supplies initially delivered. The warranty, with respect to supplies or parts thereof, shall be equal in duration to that in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause and shall run from the date of delivery of the corrected or replaced supplies.

(4) All implied warranties of merchantability and "fitness for a particular purpose" are excluded from any obligation contained in this contract.

(c) Remedies available to the Government.

(2) Within a reasonable time after the notice, the Contracting Officer may either--

(i) Require, by written notice, the prompt correction or replacement of any supplies or parts thereof (including preservation, packaging, packing, and marking) that do not conform with the requirements of this contract within the meaning of paragraph (b)(1) of this clause; or

(B) Shall require the size of the sample to be that required by sampling procedures specified in the contract for the quantity of supplies on which warranty action is proposed;

(C) May project warranty sampling results over supplies in the same shipment or other supplies contained in other shipments even though all of such supplies are not present at the point of reinspection; provided, that the supplies remaining are reasonably representative of the quantity on which warranty action is proposed; and

(D) Need not use the same lot size as on original inspection or reconstitute the original inspection lots.

(ii) Within a reasonable time after notice of any breach of the warranties specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause, the Contracting Officer may exercise one or more of the following options:

(A) Require an equitable adjustment in the contract price for any group of supplies.

(B) Screen the supplies grouped for warranty action under this clause at the Contractor's expense and return all nonconforming supplies to the Contractor for correction or replacement.

(C) Require the Contractor to screen the supplies at locations designated by the Government within the contiguous United States and to correct or replace all nonconforming supplies.

(D) Return the supplies grouped for warranty action under this clause to the Contractor (irrespective of the f.o.b.

point or the point of acceptance) for screening and correction or replacement.

(4) (i) The Contracting Officer may, by contract or otherwise, correct or replace the nonconforming supplies with similar supplies from another source and charge to the Contractor the cost occasioned to the Government thereby if the Contractor--

(A) Fails to make redelivery of the corrected or replaced supplies within the time established for their return; or

(B) Fails either to accept return of the nonconforming supplies or fails to make progress after their return to correct or replace them so as to endanger performance of the delivery schedule, and in either of these circumstances does not cure such failure within a period of 10 days (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer may authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Officer specifying such failure.

(ii) Instead of correction or replacement by the Government, the Contracting Officer may require an equitable adjustment of the contract price. In addition, if the Contractor fails to furnish timely disposition instructions, the Contracting Officer may dispose of the nonconforming supplies for the Contractor's account in a reasonable manner.

The Government is entitled to reimbursement from the Contractor, or from the proceeds of such disposal, for the reasonable expenses of the care and disposition of the nonconforming supplies, as well as for excess costs incurred or to be incurred.

(5) The rights and remedies of the Government provided in this clause are in addition to and do not limit any rights afforded to the Government by any other clause of this contract.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

1. Basis for Contract Award: The Government plans to award a single, firm fixed-price purchase order utilizing Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection Procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-1. The evaluation factors include Technical Acceptability. Contractors who do not receive an acceptable rating for ALL technical subfactors, and receive an OVERALL acceptable rating for each Technical Factor, will not be further evaluated and will not be eligible for award. Only those quotes that receive an OVERALL acceptable rating for all technical factors will be further evaluated on the price factor. The Government will not rate or rank proposals, but will select the proposal that represents the Lowest Total Evaluated Price of those proposals deemed technically acceptable.

It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions (except for clarifications as described by FAR 15.306(a)).

Therefore, the Contractor’s initial response should contain the contractor’s best terms for technical and price.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

2. Rejection of Unrealistic Quotes: Any proposal which is unrealistic will be judged either as exhibiting a failure to comprehend the Government’s requirements and may be so evaluated and rated, or rejected for such reasons.

Furthermore, any quote that is considered unreasonably high or low price, or contains significant inconsistencies between the Technical and price, if unexplained, may be grounds for rejection of the quote. The Government will evaluate each quote strictly in accordance with its content and will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the contractor’s quote.

3. Responsibility: The Government will determine responsibility by analyzing whether the apparent successful contractor complies with the requirements of FAR 9.1. The Government reserves the right to reject any quote that is unreasonably low or high in price. Unsuccessful Contractors will be notified in accordance with FAR 15.503.

4. Evaluation Factors - The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Subfactor 1: Experience Subfactor 2: Comply /Non-Comply Statement Factor 2: Price

For a project to be considered similar in scope and scale, it means the work/equipment supplied must be for equipment of the same size or larger of the requested equipment in this solicitation.

Only information provided by the Offeror within its quote can be evaluated. The Government will evaluate the information provided by the Offeror within its quote and assign a rating of acceptable/not acceptable.

5. Price: Only those quotes that receive an acceptable rating for the above two factors will be evaluated on price.

Those quotes that do not receive an acceptable rating for both Factor 1 and Factor 2 (including all subfactors), will not be further evaluated.
