52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items applies to this acquisition.
ADDENDUM to RFO 52.212-2 EVALUATION COMMERCIAL ITEMS:
The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the offeror responsible whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government considering price and other factors.
The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:
Factor I. Technical capability or quality offered to meet the Government requirement
Factor II. Price
Factor III. Past Performance
Evaluation Approach. 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 Government will use comparative analysis. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:
Factor I. Technical capability or quality offered to meet the Government requirement: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation. Technical capability factor is more important than the Price factor.
Factor II. Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line-item prices, including all options. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability or quality of the service offered to the Government requirement, as stated in Factor 1 shall not be selected regardless of price.
Factor III. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate on how well the offeror identified performance relates to the requirement procured under the PWS for this procurement to determine relevancy. How well the offeror performed on identified contracts shall be used to assess performance confidence.
If offeror does not provide all volumes as outlined in RFO 52.212-1 Instructions, the offer may be considered non-responsive. The Past Performance factor is less important than the Price factor.
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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s)
