Representations and Certifications: Offerors shall submit the following representations and certifications, which are incorporated into the draft BPA with its price proposal. FAR 52.212-3-Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items (Apr 2016) EVALUATION FACTORS The Government will use FAR 12.602 Streamlined Evaluation of Offers evaluate offers submitted in response to the synopsitation. The factors that shall be used to evaluate proposals are Technical, as expounded below. All evaluation factors are equal in importance; however, a proposal is unawardable at any price if, after final evaluation, the Technical receives a rating of "Unacceptable." The evaluation does not permit tradeoffs between price and non-price factors. Award will be made to the responsible offeror who submits a proposal that (1) conforms to the requirements of the solicitation; (2) that receives a rating of "Acceptable" on the Technical evaluation factor; and (3) that submits the proposal with the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP), provided that the TEP is not unbalanced and is fair and reasonable. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending upon (1) the quality of proposals received and (2) the fair and reasonableness of the pricing of proposals received. FACTOR 1 - Technical: Pursuant to evaluation of all requirements, the Technical factor will receive and overall rating of either "Acceptable," or "Unacceptable" using the rating and descriptions in the table below: Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirement of the solicitation. In determining whether a technical proposal is Acceptable or Unacceptable, the Government will consider the extent to which the technical proposal demonstrates the offeror's ability to: -Deliver estimated delivery quantities -Deliver by preferred delivery method FACTOR 2 Price: Price proposals will be evaluated to determine which price list offers the lowest total evaluated price (TEP). The TEP will be calculated as the sum total of the unit prices of each item on the price list submitted with the offeror's proposal. Evaluation Process: (a) The Government will initiate concurrent evaluation of all evaluation factors on all proposals. The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of a proposal including whether any proposal deficiency can be rectified and whether any uncertainty can be resolved. The judgment of such "correction potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. (b) If pursuant to initial evaluation, the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable" or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, and in the Government's judgment, the deficiency is rectifiable or the uncertainty is resolvable; the Contracting Officer (CO) may open discussions and may continue discussions as long as, in the Government's judgment, the deficiency is rectifiable or the uncertainty is resolvable. (c) For the purpose of conducting discussions, if the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable" or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, the entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable." At the conclusion of discussions, if the Technical factor is rated "Unacceptable" or if any deficiency or uncertainty relative to the proposal has not been unresolved, evaluation of that proposal will be considered final. The entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable" and no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award. (d) For the purpose of award without discussions, if pursuant to initial evaluation, the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable" or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, notwithstanding that any deficiency may be rectifiable or any uncertainty may be resolvable, the entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable," the initial evaluation will be the final evaluation, and no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award. Before a proposal's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a proposal(s) (or part of a proposal), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
