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. In accordance with 52.212-1(b)(4), the award will be made to the LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA) quote. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical – Experience

2. Past Performance

3. Price

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL - EXPERIENCE

The offeror shall provide a list of two (2) contracts (including customer or organization name, contracting value, description of furniture) for delivery of office furniture with a total value of each contract exceeding $150,000 performend within the last three (3) years.

The Technical rating will be based on an “Acceptable” / “Unacceptable” basis. The following definitions will be used in evaluating the offeror’s proposal against the technical requirement.

Rating Description

Acceptable An offeror will be rated “Acceptable” if the offeror has performed at least two (2) contracts for delivery of office furniture with a total value of each contract exceeding $150,000 performed within the last three (3) years.

Unacceptable An offeror will be rated “Unacceptable” if the offeror has not performed at least two (2) contracts for delivery of office furniture with a total value of each contract exceeding $150,000 performed within the last three (3) years.

The technical factor is met when the Offeror’s proposal clearly demonstrates evidence of the full capability for executing the PWS requirements and meeting the three subfactors above.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

The offeror shall describe relevant contracts and/or subcontracts it has performed over the past three (3) years, including any and all contracts that may have a negative impact on the offeror’s past performance record. Relevant means a contract for the delivery of office furniture with a total value of each contract exceeding $150,000.

The Past Performance rating will be based 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:

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.

a. Past Performance Information: The information presented in the Past Performance References and information obtained from other available sources other than those identified by the Offeror (such as past performance information obtained from Federal, State and local Government agencies, better business bureaus, published media, and electronic data bases available to the Government) will be the basis for evaluation of this factor.

b. Past Performance Evaluation: The Government will consider the offeror’s previous and current record of contractual performance. The Government assessment will focus on recent contracts that are relevant to the effort required by this solicitation. Recent is defined for this action to be contracts that were performed within the last three (3) calendar years from the issuance date of the Request for Quote (RFQ). Relevant contracts include individual contracts that are similar, in whole or in part, to this solicitation, including contracts performed by a teaming partner or subcontractor.

c. The Government may reject a quote if it is found that any information that has a negative impact on the offeror’s past performance record has been deleted, misrepresented, or withheld.

d. It is at the Government’s discretion to determine whether past performance information furnished is or is not considered similar to the size and scope of the present requirement.

Should the offeror have no past performance information the Government will assign a rating of “Acceptable.”

e. Offerors are cautioned that, in conducting the past performance assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proving an “acceptable” past performance rests with the offerors.

f. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on the contracts identified in their past performance submissions and the offerors’ corrective actions.

FACTOR 3: PRICE

a. The total evaluated price shall be the sum of all Exhibit Line Item Numbers (ELINs) transferred to the CLIN amount listed on the Solicitation. This amount will be the total evaluated price.

b. Currency: Offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall be in terms of local currency or U.S. Dollars.

For evaluation purposes, the Government shall use the current FY Budget Rate to convert the local currency (i.e. Euro € = 0.8582 ) offers into U.S. Dollars.

In the event an offer is received in a currency other than Euro (€), and there is no official Budget Rate, the Government shall use the daily exchange rate on the solicitation closing date to convert the currency into U.S. Dollar for evaluation purposes. Conversion Rate will be pulled from www.XE.com.

c. Each offeror’s proposed price will be evaluated to determine whether it is fair and reasonable as per FAR 13.106-3.

(b) Options: Not Applicable

(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.
