FAR Clause 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition, along with the following addenda: Addenda to 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items Basis of Award The Government's selection for awardee will be made on the basis of the lowest priced quote meeting the acceptability standards for the non-cost factors in accordance with FAR 15.101-2, lowest price technically acceptable source selection process. The award will be made to the Offeror who is deemed responsible by the Contracting Officer, in accordance with the General Standards for contractor responsibility at FAR 9.104-1, and whose quote conforms to all of the Request for Quote (RFQ) requirements (including stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information) and is assessed, based on the evaluation factors below, to represent the lowest price technically acceptable. Evaluation Factors & Evaluation Approach All quotes will be evaluated in a fair and consistent manner. All quotes will be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel. The Offeror whose quote is determined to provide the lowest priced quote that meets the acceptability standards for non-cost factors will be awarded the Order. The Government may reject any quote that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low priced when compared to Government estimates, such that the quote is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program. The Government reserves the right to award based on initial quotes. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and make an award without discussions with the Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306). However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions and request quote revisions if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Factor 1 - Technical The Offeror's Quote shall meet the following minimum requirements: - It describes how its proposed Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) deliverables meet at least those technical provisions identified as applicable in the attached Government Product/Service Accessibility Template (GPAT). - It contains adequate information to verify that it satisfies the Section 508 requirements of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (i.e. a completed GPAT or VPAT/equivalent) ADJECTIVAL RATING DEFINITION ACCEPTABLE Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Factor 2 - Price 1. The Total Evaluated Price is the sum of CLINs 0001, 0002, and 0003. This Total Evaluated Price will then be evaluated for reasonableness in accordance with price analysis techniques at FAR 15.404-1(b). Price will not be scored. Other Considerations. Quotations that are unrealistic in terms of technical or schedule commitments, or unrealistically low in price, will be considered indicative of a lack of understanding of the complexity and risk in the contract requirements. The Government intends to make an award without discussions but reserves the right to hold discussions if they will benefit the Government.
