The evaluation of offers received in response to the solicitation will use a tiered or cascading order of precedence.

(a) service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB);

(b) veteran-owned small business (VOSB);

(c) all other small business concerns;

(d) other than small business.

(2) If an award or a sufficient number of awards cannot be made at the first tier, evaluation of offers will proceed at the next lower tier until an award or a sufficient number of awards can be made.



The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit. Interested persons may submit offers, and all eligible offers received prior to 1:00 PM PDT October 23th, 2017 will be considered by the Government. The NAICS code is 333318 and the size standard is 1000 Employees.

Lack of sufficient information for our staff to determine product acceptability will result in a negative determination.

FAR 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 factor shall be used to evaluate offers:

The Government will award to the lowest price, technically acceptable offeror. Brand name or equal.

(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.
