FAR 52.212-2, "Evaluation-Commercial Items" (Jan 1999): (a) 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 following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: i. Technical Requirement: Offers must meet the specifications as establish in the in SOW. ii. Price: Price determination will be based on the lowest technically price acceptable offer. (b) Options. 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). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an 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. (End of provision) EVALUATION FACTORS AND BASIS FOR AWARD Basis for Award The basis of award of this RFQ is lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA). Quotes will be rated on three non-price evaluation factors using. VOLUME ONE - EVALUATION FACTORS NOTE: Volume 1 shall not contain any reference to pricing. The technical proposal section is comprised of factors relating to the offeror's ability to perform. Offerors are highly encouraged to review the Stement of Wokr (SOW), prior to preparing a technical proposal. Offerors shall prepare and compile the information listed under each factor below and clearly label the response to each factor. a. FACTORS i. Technical Requirements ii. Price i. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS(Page limit - 5 pages) The quality of each contractor's quote is an example of their ability to perform and may be considered in the evaluation of their proposal. Technical Requirements are the primary determining factors of an offeror's ability to perform. Offerors shall describe how they meet or plan to meet all mandatory requirements in the respective Statement of Work (SOW) and contract clauses. The Government will review proposals to determine whether or not that offeror has adequately demonstrated an ability to meet or exceed the Government's requirements on Section 4 of the SOW. For each requirement technical requirement task, offers demonstrating an ability to perform will at a minimum be determined "acceptable" for that requirement task. Depending on each contractor's capability, they may be considered outside the realm of acceptability and not provided an opportunity to revise their quote if discussions become necessary. ii. PRICE Price Evaluation is to be performed by the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer. Vendors are required to submit price quotes in accordance with the proposed CLIN structure. Vendors are to provide firm-fixed pricing for each of the CLIN's as well as a total price for the entire effort. Vendors may quote travel expenses on a cost basis. Travel is going to be considered in the price evaluation. Each offeror's proposed price will be evaluated for reasonableness. The Government currently intends to award a contract for the 1 year base and two years options, therefore the total price of a vendor's proposal will consider the price for all CLINs and the total estimated price for each year and, potentially, the cost of travel. It is the Government's intention to award without negotiating, under lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach.
