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

II. Addendum to FAR Clause 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items

Evaluation Factors for Award

a. Basis for Contract Award. This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). The test program authorized under FAR Subpart 13.5 is applicable to this acquisition. Award will be made to a single offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose offer is technically acceptable, conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose offer, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the lowest price.

b. Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. As set forth in FAR 52.212-1 (g), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

c. Evaluation Criteria. Bidders are required to submit with their quotations a pictorial representation of the shoe they are proposing. This representation may take the form of a technical data sheet with photos, marketing brochure, or other type of pictures. The photos must show a bottom view, top view and side view and be in color. Submissions will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria listed below. Evaluation criteria consist of factors. The proposals will be evaluated under three (2) evaluation factors: Submission, and Price.

Factor 1 – Sample. The Sample will receive a rating defined below.

Table 1. Technical Factor Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

In order to receive an acceptable rating, the sample submissions must not contain any major defects as stated in the evaluation criteria listed below.

Factor – Price. Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3(a). Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable.

Offerors must submit Past Performance on the attached sheets.

d. 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.

IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD, A PICTORAL REPRESENTATION MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR QUOTE. THE PICTURE MUST BE IN COLOR AND SHOW A BOTTOM, TOP, AND A VIEW OF BOTH SIDES. QUOTES WITHOUT THE PICTURE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD.

Samples will be evaluated in accordance with the Product Description.
