52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

(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. Award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 13 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures and using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process.

Except communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarifications, the Government intends to evaluate offers and issue a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Requirements contract, without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a technical and pricing standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

Evaluation Factors:

Factor 1: Price Factor 2: Technical Factor 3: Past Performance

Factor 1 – Price

Price will not be rated. Price analysis will be conducted to determine reasonableness.

Price will be evaluated using various price analysis techniques and procedures IAW FAR 13.106-2(b) including but not limited to, comparison of the proposed price received in response to the solicitation, comparison to the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), and Market Research.

Factor 2 – Technical

- Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) Commercial Applicator License –

Evaluation: This factor is met when the offeror provides documentation demonstrating that at least one employee, employed by the offeror, has a current and valid WSDA commercial Applicator License in accordance with PWS Paragraph 1.6.8.2.

ADJECTIVE DEFINITION

Acceptable Offeror provides a current and valid copy of at least one employee’s WSDA

Commercial Applicator License.

Unacceptable Offeror does not provide a current and valid copy of at least one employee’s

WSDA Commercial Applicator License.

Factor 3 – Past Performance

Offerors shall provide supporting documentation demonstrating they have a minimum of three

(3) years of “relevant” experience within seven (7) years preceding the issuance of this solicitation.

“Relevant” experience is defined as performance of efforts involving requirements that are similar or greater in: Scope (types of services identified and defined in the PWS requirements within the Columbia River Basin specifically) and Magnitude of Effort (a contract or aggregated contracts during the 7-year time period totaling at least $50,000). At a minimum, the offeror shall provide the following information for each contract that it relies upon to demonstrate acceptable past performance:

a) Project title and customer name;

b) Contract number (if such a designation exists);

c) A narrative explaining the requirement and how it is relevant to the requirements of this solicitation;

d) Contract performance

Evaluation of Past Performance will be on an “Acceptable” / “Unacceptable” basis. The following definitions will be used in evaluating the degree the offeror will satisfactorily provide the required services based on past and current performance records. An Acceptable or Unacceptable rating will be determined as follows:

ADJECTIVE DEFINITION

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

*Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

In order to be considered for award, the Offeror must receive a fair and reasonable price determination for Factor 1 and “acceptable” ratings for Factors 2 and 3.

Factor 1 Price – Price is determined to be fair and reasonable Factor 2 Technical – Acceptable Factor 3 Past Performance – Acceptable

Award will be made based on the lowest priced quote with “acceptable” ratings for Factors 2 and 3.

(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) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
