(ix) The provisions at 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (Jan 1999) apply to this acquisition. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous and offer the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Technical Capability Factor - The Government will evaluate how well each proposal documents an in-depth understanding of the Marine Corps' process and procedures for locating maternal relatives of Marines unaccounted for from past conflicts. Offerors will be evaluated on their experience/depth of program knowledge in Department of Defense (DoD) policy for locating maternal relatives who are eligible mitochondrial Family Reference Sample donors and requisite skills in successfully locating family members of Marines unaccounted for from past conflicts. Contractor must demonstrate a high level of knowledge of DoD POW/MIA matters, policies, and procedures. POW/MIA matters include, but are not limited to, the Family Reference Sample collection process and Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1300.18, Personnel Casualty Matters, Policies, and Procedures. 2. Past Performance Factor -Available data on all contractors submitting quotes will be reviewed and evaluated. Elements considered will include, but not be limited to, the timeliness of deliverables, quality of deliverables, and adequacy of administrative reporting. Offerors with no past performance will be rated "neutral". 3. Price - The sum of all the CLINs for the base plus option periods shall represent the total price to the Government. The government will compare the proposed firm fixed prices to establish price fairness and reasonableness. Proposed will be evaluated for completeness. 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). A written notice of award or acceptance of 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. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation. Note: Technical capability is more important than past performance, when combined, technical capability and past performance, are significantly more important than price. The Government may determine that a superior solution/approach merits a higher price, and therefore represents the best value to the Government. A technically superior proposal that is offered at a greatly excessive price may be determined not to represent the best value to the government.
