EVALUATION OF QUOTES - (FAR 52.212-2) and BASIS OF AWARD: a. The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote 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 and all are of equal importance: (1) Price (Total Price for CLINS 0001 through 0005), (2) Technical Capability and (3) Past Performance. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. Failure to furnish a complete Request for Quote package may render your offer/proposal unacceptable. Only those quoters with an acceptable rating for non-cost factors (i.e. Technical Capability) and a rating of acceptable or neutral rating for Past Performance will be considered further for award on initial offers. Unacceptable quotes cannot be accepted unless discussions are held and quoters are afforded the opportunity to submit revised proposals. Once non-cost factor ratings have been established, award will be made to the lowest price quoter. Therefore, the lowest price quoter who is found acceptable in Technical Capability and a rating of acceptable or neutral for Past Performance will be selected for award. A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a vendor's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. The vendor will be asked to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, in writing. All responders must include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items.
