CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. BASIS FOR AWARD

This acquisition is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Set Aside (SDVOSB), competitive procurement utilizing Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) best value continuum source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-2. A single award will be made to the Offeror who provides a technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price. Quoted prices will be evaluated but not scored or otherwise combined with the other aspects of the quote evaluation.

2. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

Factor 1: Technical Factor 2: Experience Factor 3: Price

3. EVALUATION APPROACH

Upon receipt of quotes, the Government will compile a list of all submissions and order them from lowest price to highest price. The Government will then start evaluating the lowest priced Offeror first. If the offeror is found to be technically acceptable, then the Government will not evaluate any other Offerors and make contract award.

A quote must receive an “Acceptable” rating in all non-price factor to be considered for award.

The two non-price factors are Technical and Experience.

4. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF FACTORS

Factor 1, Technical and Factor 2 Experience are equally important. When combined, both non-priced factors are equal to Factor 3 Price.

5. EVALUATION CRITERIA

FACTOR 1 -- TECHNICAL:

The Government will evaluate the Technical Factor on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. This factor identifies technical requirements that are imperative to successful contract performance.

The Technical Evaluation Team will evaluate the Offeror’s quote against the items listed below to determine whether the technical quote is Acceptable or Unacceptable. To be considered acceptable, all items listed under the technical factor must receive an acceptable rating. The adjectival rating depicts whether the offeror’s quote meets the Technical Factor requirements.

Experience Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings:

ACCEPTABLE = Quote meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation and is rated ACCEPTABLE for FACTOR 1 -- TECHNICAL.

UNACCEPTABLE = Quote does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation or is rated UNACCEPTABLE for FACTOR 1 -- TECHNICAL.

Evaluation Method:
