The FAR provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial, applies to this acquisition and a statement regarding any addenda to the provision.



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:



(i) Technical capability of the item offered to meet the government requirement;



(ii) Past performance; and



(iii) Price



Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal to price.



Offerors proposals will be evaluated first under Factor (i) above, which represents MINIMUM acceptable criteria. Under this factor, products offered will be determined to be either technically acceptable or unacceptable. A “will comply†statement without accompanying technical specifications and/or drawings of product being offered is automatic failure under this factor. Failure to meet the minimum criteria will render the offer to be technically unacceptable and may be removed from further competition.

See paragraph (b) below.



Only those Offers that are rated acceptable in Factor (i) will be further evaluated under Factors (ii), and (iii). Contract will be awarded to the offeror who is found acceptable in Factors (i) and

(ii) and is the lowest price offer.



At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the Offerors best terms from both a price and technical standpoint.



(b) Technical capability of the item offered to meet the government requirement. This factor has following sub-factors as follows:



1) Licensed propane dealer in California

2) Delivery Schedule to include statement of being able to deliver propane within 24 hours of order during emergency conditions;



Quote shall include a statement confirming compliance with subfactors 1) and 2) above to receive rating of acceptable in Factor (i).

It is in the discretion of the Contracting Officer to decide whether to accept as acceptable proposed later delivery schedule – i.e. more than 24 hours during emergencies if only one quote is received.



(c) Offerors PAST PERFORMANCE information will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance for up to three prior similar contracts performed within the past three years. Offers that lack relevant past performance history, will receive a neutral rating under this factor.



The Contracting Officer will evaluate Offerors PAST PERFORMANCE as follows:



NEUTRAL: No relevant past performance available for evaluation.

Offeror has asserted that it has no relevant directly related or similar past performance experience. Proposal receives no merit or demerit for this factor. Neutral rating will be rated as acceptable.



SATISFACTORY: Very little risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon the offerors past performance. Satisfactory rating will be rated as acceptable.



UNSATISFACTORY: Significant potential risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, and of degradation of performance based upon the offerors past performance.

Unsatisfactory rating will be rated unacceptable.



(d) Price quote.



(1) Bulk propane pricing shall include the following:



- Pricing summary using Table 1 format from attachment;

- Offeror shall include the pricing formula/methodology used in its quoted price to include the propane index (or market indicator), markup, and current IFF rate used - see below.



(2) Total Price will be the sum of all prices under “Extended Price†column and will be the evaluated price.



(3) The Pricing formula will be incorporated in the resulting contract and shall be used as basis for requesting for Economic Price Adjustment (see FAR 52.216-2).



(4) A single-award Fixed Price contract with Economic Price Adjustment will be awarded to the quote that received ratings of acceptable in Factors (i) and (ii) and is the lowest evaluated price.



(e) 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.
