The Government will evaluate quotations and make award using the method below. This language constitutes the tailored fill-in for FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (RFO 12.205(a)(2)), and includes all evaluation factors and criteria for award.

Evaluation. Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis to the responsible quoter whose conforming quotation is rated technically acceptable and offers the lowest evaluated price determined fair and reasonable. The following factor(s) will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis: Factor 1-Price, Factor 2-Technical Capability, and Factor 3-Past Performance.

 No credit will be given for exceeding the acceptability standards. A quotation rated unacceptable on any factor is ineligible for award. The Government may make award without communications.

Price. The Government will determine price to be fair and reasonable, based whenever possible on adequate price competition. Price will be evaluated inclusive of transportation charges to destination and by adding the prices for all CLINs to the base requirement. Prompt payment discounts will not be considered in the price evaluation.

Past Performance. The Government will evaluate the quoter's recent and relevant past performance as an indicator of its ability to perform this requirement. “Recent” means performed within 3 years of the date of this RFQ; “relevant” means similar in size, scope, and complexity. The Government may consider information from any source, including CPARS, references, and the quoter's experience as a subcontractor. A quoter without a record of relevant past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on this factor.

Quotation is not an offer. A quotation is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Any resulting purchase order is the Government's offer to the quoter; a binding contract is formed only when the quoter accepts the purchase order, either by written acceptance or by commencing performance. (RFO 12.201-1(b))

Late quotations. The Government will consider all quotations received by the date and time specified above and may, consistent with good business judgment, consider a quotation received after the due date and time. (RFO 12.203(c)(1))
