Contract Clauses 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items. (APR 2014) 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: (a) The Government will award a Firm Fixed Priced contract resulting from this solicitation on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors of a technically acceptable proposal and past performance. Each line item will be evaluated separately. Evaluation of price will be made on total price. Steps in the evaluation and award of this acquisition are as follows: (i) All offers found to be technically unacceptable shall be eliminated. Examples of reasons for being found unacceptable include but are not limited to: nonresponsive, debarred or suspended, prohibited source, or products which are submitted that fail to meet field testing evaluation for equivalency. (ii) Offerors of technically acceptable products and having low risk to moderate past performance ratings will be ranked by price. (iii) The offeror's quote shall demonstrate its understanding of the requirements listed in the Statement of Work (SOW), as well as its knowledge of the supplies/services to be provided and the ability to fulfill the SOW. Past Performance - Past Performance will be evaluated in terms of relevancy and recent history. Relevance means references provided must relate to the same effort or similar one in both product and scale. Recent history means references provided on current or recently completed contracts within the past 3 years. Past performance will assess delivery and quality of product as it relates to probability of successful contract performance. Each performance risk assessment of the areas listed above will consider the number and severity of problems, the effectiveness of corrective actions taken and the overall work record. Problems not addressed by the offeror will be considered to still exist. However, the degree to which the offeror can demonstrate that it has successfully provided program support will be given a higher rating. Under this factor, the USSS will evaluate how well an offeror performed similar work with other government agencies or companies. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be an analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgment of the evaluators after it considers all available, relevant and recent information. Price - For evaluation purposes, the Total Evaluated Price will be the sum of all CLIN amounts. In addition, for evaluation purposes, adjustments the Government deems appropriate will be made to include Government costs required to accomplish the offeror's proposed approach with the exception of those costs to the Government that are equal across all offerors. The proposed unit prices and the Total Evaluated Price as previously defined will be evaluated for reasonableness. Also, each offeror's Price proposal will be evaluated to determine if it is consistent with the offeror's technical approach and reflects a clear understanding of the solicitation requirements. (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.

(4) ___ Have, ___ have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (ii) Examples. (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. § 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. § 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. § 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

Person, domestic, and foreign have the meanings given such terms by paragraphs (1), (4), and (5) of section 7701(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, respectively. (c) Special rules. The following definitions and special rules shall apply when determining whether a foreign incorporated entity should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation. (1) Certain stock disregarded.
