P- 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items:  The Government will award a firm-fixed priced contract.

The Government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the solicitation provides the Best Value to the Government.  "Best value" means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. In accordance with FAR 12.602 & FAR 13.106-2, technical, price & past performance will be considered in the streamlined evaluation. This may result in award being made to a higher-rated, higher-priced quote. The Government's selection of a higher-rated, higher-priced quote will be supported by a determination that the technical/past performance superiority warrants the additional cost involved. Offerors are encouraged to submit past performance references.
