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:

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.

A. General Information:

1. The basis of award will be the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable offer. Offerors must receive a rating of Technically Acceptable in all factors/subfactors in order for their overall proposal to be determined Technically Acceptable.

2. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and technical requirements.

3. The Government intends to make award without discussions, unless the Contracting Officer determines that discussions are necessary. Offerors should provide their most favorable prices in their initial offers.

4. Price will be exvaluated to include all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) for all Option Years. The Government may require continued performance under FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. The Government will evaluate the basic and all option year prices on the basis that the rates will not change if the Government opts to utilize its option per FAR clause 52.217-8 at the end of the basic or any option year during the performance of the contract. Evaluation of the option year pricing in this manner shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options. For purposes of fair and reasonable price dtermination the Govenrmnet will use half of the last option years total price to represent the price of a possible six month extension under clause 52.217-8.

B. Proposals will be evaluated initially independently of the price to determine the Offerors’ ability to meet the Government’s requirement set forth in the solicitation. The Government may make a final rating determination based on the proposal as submitted without requesting any further information. Offerors must achieve a rating of ACCEPTABLE in order to be considered for award. For all proposals determined to be Technically Acceptable, the offer providing the lowest price will receive the contract award.

1. Offerors’ technical proposals will receive an overall rating based on the following:

(a) Technically Acceptable: Offeror meets all requirements or technical specifications or has submitted all documentation requested in any technical evaluation criteria and all documentation meets the standard set forth in the solicitation; including documentation-with a signed attestation of at least three (3) years of successful global industrial auditing experience and certification for all requirements IAW the PWS, including accredited to ISO 17021by an accreditation body that is a member of the International Accreditiation Forum (IAF) with a membership that includes management system certification. Further, attestation that their proposed personnel shall meet the security requirement in the PWS Section 1.4.3 Security Requirements; for LEAD Access.

(b) Technically Unacceptable: Offeror fails to meet all requirements or technical specifications or has failed to comply in submitting requested documentation in any technical evaluation criteria or the submitted documentation fails to meet the standard set forth in the solicitation.
