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:

1. PRICE:

a. Offerors SHALL complete and submit the price schedule with their proposal and include a price for each line item. Failure to do so will result in the offer being rejected without further consideration.

b. The Contracting Officer will evaluate each offeror’s price in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 to determine price reasonableness. In this context, reasonableness will be determined by comparing offered prices to one another, to the Government estimate and to pricing for previous work of a similar nature.

2. PAST PERFORMANCE:

To demonstrate satisfactory past performance the offeror SHALL provide documentation of satisfactory performance on up to five (5) past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, including references, with names and contact information of the references who can verify such past performance. Past performance information of key personnel may be provided if the company has limited or no past performance.

Offerors must fill out the attached USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). Past Peformance shall not exceed more than 15 pages.

The Government's approach will be to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources, as well as data obtained from other sources available, i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating acceptable past performance rests with the offeror.

(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) Submission Requirements:

Quotes must be submitted via email to zachary.e.schuler@usace.army.mil by the due date specified in the solicitation.

Quotes shall not exceed 50 pages in length which includes a maximum of 15 pages for Past Peformance.

Note: Pages that exceed the required page limitations will not be evaluated. Additional pages over the maximum allowed will be removed or not read and will not be evaluated by the Government.

(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.
