(viii) The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021), applies to this solicitation for the evaluation of Offeror’s Technical and Price Quotes as set forth below.

1. (a) This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedure to make an award. A decision on the technically acceptability of each offeror’s proposal will be made. For those offerors which are determined to be technically acceptable, award will be made to the offeror who submitted the lowest overall price. Technical acceptability will be determined based on a comparison of the offerors quote against the stated requirements in the SOW. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the technical go/no go process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgement is implicit throughout the evaluation process. The Government intends to make an award based on initial quotes received. If further questions are required, the contracting officer may contact the offeror or offerors. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to all solicitation requirements. By submission of its quote, the offeror accepts all Solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. All technically acceptable offerors shall be treated equally except for their prices.
2. The Government intends to make a selection based upon initial submissions and intends to make an award without discussions. Offerors are advised to submit quotes that are fully and clearly acceptable without requests for additional information. The following process will be followed:

Step 1: An evaluation rating of Technically Acceptable/Non-Acceptable will be assigned to each quote upon conformance with the Statement of Work attached. If an offeror receives a technical rating of “Non-Acceptable” they will not be considered for award.

Step 2: Price Quote will be evaluated, for award purposes, based upon the lowest total price proposed for the basic requirements as provided in the SF 1449 Contract Line Items.

(ix) Basis for Award: This acquisition will utilize the LPTA procedure. The Government will make a single award (firm-fixed-price purchase order) from this solicitation to the Offeror that meets USAGM’s requirement described in the SOW and SF 1449 Contract Line Items at the lowest price.
