52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to a responsible vendor whose quote conforms to this solicitation and is considered most advantageous to the Government based on price, past performance and technical acceptability. Past performance and technical acceptability, when combined, are less when compared to price.

Past Performance: provide three examples, with contact information, of catering venues within the last three years of similar size and scope.

• 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.

• Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable."

Technical: Provide a copy of the proposed kitchen supervisor's a ServSafe Managers Certificate.

• ACCEPTABLE: Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

• UNACCEPTABLE: Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation

Price: Offerors must return the Catered Meals Bid Schedule (attachment Catered Meals Bid Schedule) filled out appropriately detailing the cost of each Line Item. Offerors must also include company CAGE CODE/ DUNS number as well as Federal Tax Identification Number.

(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. 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.
