52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

A. The Government will award a firm fixed price 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:

(1) PRICE
(2) TECHNICAL

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). In the event the Government extends services under the authority of FAR 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services", unit pricing for the last option period exercised preceding the extension shall remain in effect. These prices are already determined to have been evaluated at time of contract award.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2:
BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: Award will be made to the lowest-priced responsible offer that meets the needs of this requirement in accordance with the statement of work, per FAR 13.106-2(b) (1).

A. Evaluation Process:

1. Initially, offers shall be ranked according to price, including option prices.

2. Next, all offers technical quotations will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis.

B. Evaluation Criteria:

1. PRICE: For award purposes, the Government will evaluate the total prices in Attachment #2, Schedule & Acknowledgements for the Base and Option Periods of this solicitation. The total price for Attachment #2, Schedule & Acknowledgements is the sum of the extended unit prices for all items listed in the attachment. The total price of the Base or Option Period is the sum of the extended unit prices within the applicable period. The extended amounts for the base period, all option periods, and Attachment #2, Schedule & Acknowledgements, will be added together for a total contract price and will be used for the ranking of offeror's. Unit prices shall prevail in the event the extended price is calculated incorrectly. The Government may determine an offer unacceptable if the proposed prices are materially unbalanced, which is defined as significantly understated or overstated in relation to the actual cost of the item or when the price is determined not to be fair and reasonable. Proposed prices will become fixed prices on the contract. In the event the Government extends services under the authority of FAR 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services", unit pricing for the last option period exercised preceding the extension shall remain in effect. These prices are already determined to have been evaluated at time of contract award.

The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost/price information will be requested. However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offeror's may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of price.

2. TECHNICAL: The Government will evaluate all data provided by an Offeror in accordance with addendum to solicitation provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items. The following information must be included with an Offeror's quotation in order to be deemed responsive:

a. A list of referees/umpires/scorekeepers and the corresponding sports they're registered to administer.

b. The minimum level of acceptability is met when the quotation provides supporting documentation showing national/state registered referees to fulfill the requirements of the statement of work.

The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offeror's. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
