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. Technical

2. Price

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of offers meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors.

Factor 1: Technical

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

Rating Description

Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The technical factor is met when the Offeror’s offer clearly demonstrates evidence of meeting the two subfactors below.

Subfactor A: Experiences

ACCEPTABLE: An offer will be acceptable, if the offeror DOES provide documentation that demonstrates at least a minimum of three (3) years of experience in performing services of same/similar scope to this solicitation within the last five (5) years, in the amount of no less than a total amount of 800,000.00 Dollar per year. Up to (3) contracts (including customer or organization name, contracting value, and description of service) shall be provided.

UNACCEPTABLE: An offer will be unacceptable, if the offeror DOES NOT provide documentation that demonstrates at least a minimum of three (3) years of experience in performing services of same/similar scope to this solicitation within the last five (5) years, in the amount of no less than a total amount of 800,000.00 Dollar per year. Up to (3) contracts (including customer or organization name, contracting value, and description of service) shall be provided.

Subfactor B: Subcontracting:

SUBCONTRACTING: Subcontracting information is required to be provided. This will be evaluated as being Acceptable or Unacceptable.

ACCEPTABLE: An offer will be acceptable, if the offeror DOES provide either:

(1) A statement that all work performed under the contract shall be performed exclusively by the offeror, or

(2) A list of proposed subcontractors, joint ventures, or other business partners that will provide work under the contract. The list must contain contact information for each company and explain what work each party will perform under the contract. In addition, the offeror must provide a letter of intent from each party on the list demonstrating intent to subcontract, partner or otherwise work with the offeror in the performance of the contract.

The letter must be written on that party’s letterhead and signed by an authorized representative.

UNACCEPTABLE: An offer will be unacceptable, if the offeror DOES NOT provide either:

(1) A statement that all work performed under the contract shall be performed exclusively by the offeror, or

(2) A list of proposed subcontractors, joint ventures, or other business partners that will provide work under the contract, including contact information and an explanation of work, along with a letter of intent from each party written on letterhead and signed by an authorized representative.

Please note:

The Government reserves the right to contact proposed subcontractors to verify letters of intent. In addition, as part of the government’s responsibility determination, the government reserves the right to require the submission of additional information that demonstrates the offeror’ s ability to successfully perform the contract.

Factor 2: Price:

a. The Government will evaluate quotations for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The total evaluated price shall be the sum of all CLIN prices listed in the schedule for the base year, all option years, and an additional six months of service possible under FAR 52.217-

8. To account for the option period(s) possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months); Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the price for all CLINS of the final option period, prorate it to a six month value, and add it to the sum of all CLINS (base plus all option periods). 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.

The Government shall use the daily exchange rate of the solicitation closing date to convert local currency offers into U.S. Dollar for evaluation. Evaluation of foreign currency offers will be in accordance with FAR clause 52.225-17. All supporting documentation shall reflect the same currency established in the price offer.

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

Offers that do not include the above information will be determined to be unacceptable and may be removed from further consideration.

(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. To account for the option period(s) possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months), Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the price for all CLINS of the final option period, prorate it to a six-month value, and add it to the sum of all CLINS (base plus all option periods). This amount will be the total evaluated price. 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.
