(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The name, address, telephone number of the Quoters;

(3) The Quoter’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator;

(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of quotes.

(1) Quoters are responsible for submitting quoters and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any quote, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of quotes is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quote would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful quote that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotes cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotes by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of quotes will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Quoters may withdraw their quotes by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with Quoters. Therefore, the Quoter’s initial quote should contain the Quoter’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest quote, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

(End of provision)

52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Feb 2026)

• Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes: Factor 1: Technical, Factor 2: Past Performance, Factor 3: Small

Business Participation, and Factor 4: Price.

Factor 1: Technical

The Quoter’s technical approach will be evaluated based upon their understanding of the objectives of the Performance Work

Statement (PWS) and planned execution of the project. This refers to the manner in which the Quoter proposes to plan, manage, control, and provide the services and deliverables. The extent to which the Quoter demonstrates a solid understanding of addressing anticipated problems, issues, constraints, organizations and system(s) involved and the approach and methodologies proposed to ensure successful accomplishment of all tasks in the PWS will be evaluated. The Government will evaluate the Quoter’s proposed technical approach based on their demonstrated understanding of the objectives of the PWS and planned execution of the project and will be assigned a confidence rating. The following elements will be evaluated:

a) The manner in which the Quoter’s proposes to plan, manage, control, and provide the required services and deliverables;

b) The extent to which the Quoter understands the problems, issues, constraints, organizations and system(s) involved;

c) The methodologies proposed to ensure successful accomplishment of the work.

Factor 2: Past Performance

The Government will assess its confidence that the Quoter will successfully perform the work, by evaluating the Quoter’s demonstrated experience from three (3) to five (5) contracts performed within the past five (5) years (from the date of this RFQ release). Prior experience will be evaluated to assess the expectation of successful outcomes based on the extent to which the Quoter has successfully performed on systems similar to the portal requirements described in the PWS. The Government will also evaluate the relevance of the Quoter’s demonstrated prior experience to the PWS technical and business solution; and successful execution of agile processes.

One performance evaluation must be provided for each project submitted as part of the past performance submittal. The Quoter must provide performance evaluations for the submitted projects that demonstrate the Quoter’s performance on recent and relevant projects. The Quoter must provide formal performance evaluation if available. Formal performance evaluations are those received from public or private entities similar to the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The Government’s preference is the formal evaluation. If the formal evaluation is included, a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is NOT required or desired.

If a formal evaluation is unavailable, the Quoter must obtain the information using the form entitled, “NAVFAC/USACE Past

Performance Questionnaire” included. The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation is provided for the

Quoter or its team members to submit to the client for each project the Quoter includes in its RFQ submission response.

Factor 3: Small Business Participation

Table 2- Factor 3 Small Business Rating

TABLE 2 - Small Business Ratings

Color Rating Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Green Acceptable Proposal indicates an adequate approach and understanding of small business objectives.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet small business objectives.

All quoters, including small businesses and other than small businesses with existing commercial or comprehensive subcontracting plans--must submit a Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD). This document specifies the level and degree of commitment to utilizing small business concerns, which will be legally incorporated into the resulting contract and monitored annually through the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). Other than Small Businesses are also required to submit a small business subcontracting plan in accordance with RFO FAR 52.219-9.

The Government will evaluate each SBPCD based on the extent to which the quoter identifies and commits to small business performance, specifically looking at four key areas:

1) The proposal must clearly identify the specific small business socioeconomic programs from RFO FAR Part 19 to be utilized, such as Small Disadvantaged, Woman-Owned, HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned businesses.

2) The Government will assess the total percentage of participation relative to the Total Contract Value (TCV), placing significantly greater weight on enforceable commitments, such as signed teaming agreements, over non-enforceable ones.

3) Evaluators will judge the complexity and variety of the work designated for these small firms to ensure they are performing meaningful roles.

4) The proposed goals must be realistic yet aggressive.

For the purposes of this acquisition, TCV is defined as the cumulative value of task orders awarded throughout the life of the contract.

Small business prime quoters can meet these requirements through their own performance as the prime contractor, as well as through subcontracting. Once awarded, these commitments become binding contractual requirements. The contractor must report actual achievement results annually, and performance will be actively monitored and evaluated as part of the QASP.

Factor 4: Price

The Government will establish a "total evaluated" price based on a completed attachment labeled "Section B_FMPO Bid Schedule_

W912BU26QA024." The Government expects to receive price competition through several quotes. The "total evaluated price" will be evaluated for price reasonableness through comparison with other proposed prices and may include other price analysis techniques.

The price proposal will not be given a confidence rating but discounts and rates will be evaluated to ensure labor categories and rates are fair and reasonable.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) to the responsible Quoter whose proposal represents the best value to the Government. The Government will evaluate each proposal in accordance with the evaluation factors:

• Factor 1: Technical

• Factor 2: Past Performance

• Factor 3: Small Business Participation

• Factor 4: Price

All non-priced factors when combined are equal to price. As the non-price merits of competing Quoters’ submission approach equal, Factor 4 will become more important. Quoters are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest priced proposal.

Evaluations will be based solely on the materials included in the submitted quotes. Therefore, the quoter’s initial quote should contain the quoter’s best terms. After receipt of proposals, the Government will conduct an evaluation. However, during the evaluation process, the Government may, solely at its discretion, communicate with quoters regarding proposal elements. At any time prior to selection, including upon receipt of proposal, the Government may exclude a proposal from further consideration for any material failure to follow instructions, including the omission of required information, or when the quoter is no longer considered to be among the most highly rated quoters being considered for award.

Evaluation Criteria:

Following receipt of responses, the Government may perform a comparative analysis (comparing quoters responses to one another) to select the quoter that is best suited to fulfill the requirements, based on the quoter’s responses to the factors outlined in this RFQ and their relative importance.

Table 1 - Factors 1- Confidence Ratings

High Confidence The Government has high confidence that the quoter understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no Government intervention.

Some Confidence The Government has some confidence that the quoter understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with some Government intervention.

Low Confidence The Government has low confidence that the quoter understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, or will be successful in performing the contract even with Government intervention.

Upon completion of evaluations, the Government may perform a comparative evaluation of the quotations (comparing quoters responses to one another) to select the quotation that is best suited to fulfill the requirements, based on the quoters’ responses to the criteria outlined in this RFQ and their relative importance.

The Government anticipates selecting the best-suited quoter from initial responses, without engaging in exchanges with quoters.

Quoters are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and price in response to this RFQ

Upon completing the initial evaluation, the Government will identify the single, best-suited candidate (the apparent successful quoter) and reserves the right to engage in targeted communications with only that quote to resolve any outstanding technical or pricing issues.

If the Government determines, at its sole discretion, that these issues cannot be successfully resolved, it reserves the right to terminate discussions and initiate communications with the next best-suited quoter based on the original competitive analysis.

Once the Government transitions communications to the next-ranked candidate, all discussions with the previous quoter are permanently closed and will not be reopened until after the contract has been awarded. This sequential negotiation process will continue in order of merit until a mutually acceptable agreement is reached and the Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) is awarded.

(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quoter furnished to the successful Quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quoter’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(l) Termination for the Government’s convenience. The Government reserves the right to terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for its sole convenience. In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work and shall immediately cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid a percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system, have resulted from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractor’s records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.

(m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. The Government will send a cure notice to the Contractor, unless the reason for the termination is late delivery. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(o) Warranty. The Contractor warrants and implies that the items delivered under this contract are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract.

Obligations paragraphs of this clause;

(3) Other contract clauses incorporated in the solicitation or contract;

(6) Other paragraphs of this clause;

(7) Other documents, exhibits, and attachments; and

(s) Unauthorized obligations.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (s)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government-authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism

(e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (s)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

(t) Comptroller General examination of record. This paragraph applies if this contract was awarded using other than sealed bid procedures and is in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold on the date of award of this contract.

(1) The Comptroller General of the United States, or an authorized representative of the Comptroller General, shall have access to and right to examine any of the Contractor’s directly pertinent records involving transactions related to this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall make available at its offices, at all reasonable times, the records, materials, and other evidence for examination, audit, or reproduction, until 3 years after final payment under this contract or for any shorter period specified in FAR part 4, longer period required by statute, or periods specified in other clauses of this contract. If this contract is completely or partially terminated, the records relating to the work terminated shall be made available for 3 years after any resulting final termination settlement. Records relating to appeals under the disputes clause or to litigation or the settlement of claims arising under or relating to this contract shall be made available until such appeals, litigation, or claims are finally resolved.

(3) As used in this clause, records include books, documents, accounting procedures and practices, and other data, regardless of type and regardless of form. This clause does not require the Contractor to create or maintain any record that the Contractor does not maintain in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to a provision of law.

System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
