(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

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 Quote

Offerors shall provide a narrative approach for accomplishing work requirements identified in the PWS, with the appropriate personnel and equipment, at contract start date through expiration, to meet the Government's desired outcomes. The written narrative shall demonstrate an understanding of the unique physical needs of the fighter pilot and a comprehensive service plan that will meet the requirements of the PWS. Technical quote will be rated as follows:

Acceptable-Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable-Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

(ii) Past Performance

Using information provided in the quote, the contracting officer will review performance information for only those offerors rated technically acceptable. Offerors shall furnish information for at least (2) contracts that have been completed within the last five years for similar services with like or similar size and complexity. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the offeror's ability to successfully accomplish the proposed effort based on the offeror's Past Performance. The Government may use information available from past government contracts and any information found using sources such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact and to contact references other than those provided by the offeror. Past Performance will be rated as follows:

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.

Unacceptable-Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(iii) Price

• 
  
• Each offeror's price will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Unrealistically low proposed costs/prices may be grounds for eliminating a quote from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic quote.
  

(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.

• Each offeror's price will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Unrealistically low proposed costs/prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic proposal.
  

(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.
