52.212-2 Evalua􀆟on-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)
The Government will award a contract resul􀆟ng from this solicita􀆟on to the responsible offeror whose offer
conforming to the solicita􀆟on will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors
considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
(i) technical capability of the service offered to meet the Government requirement;
(ii) price;
The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability and best value to the Government. If
found technically acceptable and found to be the best value award will be made without further
considera􀆟on. If found technically unacceptable the government will evaluate the next lowest offer for
technical acceptability un􀆟l award can be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. Past
Performance will not be evaluated. Therefore, the offeror’s ini􀆟al offer should contain the offeror’s best
terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct
discussions if later determined by the Contrac􀆟ng Officer to be necessary. Offers that fail to furnish required
representa􀆟ons or informa􀆟on, or reject the terms and condi􀆟ons of the solicita􀆟on may be excluded from
considera􀆟on.
Op􀆟ons. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all op􀆟ons to
the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if
the op􀆟on prices are significantly unbalanced. Evalua􀆟on of op􀆟ons shall not obligate the Government to
exercise the op􀆟on(s).
A wri􀆩en no􀆟ce of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror
within the 􀆟me for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further ac􀆟on
by either party. Before the offer's specified expira􀆟on 􀆟me, the Government may accept an offer (or part of
an offer), whether or not there are nego􀆟a􀆟ons a􀅌er its receipt, unless a wri􀆩en no􀆟ce of withdrawal is
received before award.
