Vendors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. (End Addendum) FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items (Jan 1999) (a) Award Basis: The Government's evaluation of quotation will fully account for the evaluation factors identified and required under the Addenda to FAR 52.212-1 of 1.) Price and 2.) Technical Qualification. The evaluation of these factors will utilize the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) award basis. Quotes that do not meet the quote specifics, will be deemed technically unacceptable, and therefore not considered for award. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract without exchanges or communications and therefore, quotations should contain the vendor's best terms. (b) Evaluation: Evaluation factors for price and technical qualification as required under the addendum to 52.212-1 will be evaluated by the Government as follows; i. Price: To evaluate price reasonableness, a comparison will be made amongst all received quotations and the Government's estimate. ii. Technical Qualification: A vendor's quotation will be considered technically acceptable if it meets the requirements detailed in paragraph C5 above. Quotations that do not meet these requirements will be considered unacceptable and therefore, under the LPTA evaluation process, will not be considered for award. (c) Award Determination: As a result of the Government's aforementioned evaluation, only those vendors whose quotes are determined to be technically qualified, and therefore technically acceptable, will be considered for award. No trade-offs will be permitted between price, and the non-price factor of technical capability. Of those vendors found technically acceptable, an award determination will be made to the lowest priced vendor that is determined to be reasonable, realistic, and affordable. (End Provision) In accordance with FAR 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations the following information is provided in regards to quotations. A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred. If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer.
