EVALUATION The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items applies to this acquisition. Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999) Tailored (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. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest price technically acceptable offeror meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1.Technical Acceptability 2.Price 3.Past Performance Each offer will be rated using the evaluation criteria outlined in the Request for Quote (RFQ) and restated in this plan. The Government is not obligated to evaluate any proposal that fails to include all the documents and information specified in the RFP. Offerors who submit incomplete quotes or rated unacceptable will be eliminated from further consideration without evaluation of their price. Technical Acceptability The Technical Acceptability Factor is comprised of reviewing the salient characteristics of the items submitted by the offeror for acceptability of meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Offerors will be assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable based on the items quoted meeting or exceeding the acceptable standards. Offeror’s submitted documentation detailing the salient characteristics of the quoted items will be evaluated to determine if the proposed items meet or exceed the required acceptable standards. Only offerors who are rated acceptable will be considered for award. Price Pricing will be reviewed for consistency, completeness, accuracy, and price reasonableness. Offerors that do not propose a price for every line item will be considered unacceptable and thus precluded from receiving an award. The submitted quote will be checked for the pricing of each item, the description of the item, and the quantity of items. Any missing data may make the offeror unacceptable and ineligible for award. An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantity of item by the unit price to confirm the extended amount. The extended amounts will be added together to determine the total evaluated price. The CO may send relevant requests for clarification, in writing, to the Offeror(s). The CO may also request clarification of information contained in the pricing or any other aspect of the quote. All clarification requests will require a written response from the Offeror within the time frames established by the CO. Responses to clarification questions will not be considered “discussions”. Past Performance Past Performance will be rated acceptable or unacceptable. This determination will be made by reviewing past performance information submitted by the Offeror, the Government wide past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the Excludes Parties List System (EPLS), and/or any other basis as defined by FAR 13.106-2. If Offeror has a rating below satisfactory in the PPIRS database, is listed on EPLS, or has derogatory information discovered in relationship to their performance on a previous contract, the Offeror will be considered unacceptable. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror(s) 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.
