Note: 52.212-3 shall be completed in the offerors System for Award Management (SAM) record. All interested parties MUST be registered in SAM in order to receive a contract award.

FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (May 2015), FAR 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items (Deviation 2013-0019) (Nov 2016) 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (a) The award will be made to the contractor whose price is the lowest of all offers determined to be technically qualified of performing the required service in accordance with FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items. Technically qualified is defined as meeting the minimum requirements in Technical, Past Performance and Price as listed below. No trade-offs are made. To receive consideration for an award, the offer must NOT receive an "unacceptable" rating for the non-price factors. The Government may make an award based on initial offers received without discussions with offerors. Accordingly, each offer should be submitted in a completed form, without exception to any requirements. Failure to submit mandatory information for a factor, indicated by the word SHALL, will result in a rating of "unacceptable" for that factor, and the offer will be ineligible for award. It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient information for the Government to determine technical acceptability, successful and satisfactory past performance and price. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine technical acceptability, past performance or price may be cause for rejection of your quote. 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: 1. PRICE: a. Offerors SHALL complete and submit the price schedule with their proposal and include a price for each line item. Failure to do so will result in the offer being rejected without further consideration. b. The Contracting Officer will evaluate each offeror's price in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 to determine price reasonableness. In this context, reasonableness will be determined by comparing offered prices to one another, to the Government estimate and to pricing for previous work of a similar nature. 2. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: a. The Offeror SHALL submit evidence of the capability to meet the minimum requirements as specified in this solicitation and the attached performance work statement. Proposal shall demonstrate that the offeror can provide a lead fisheries biologist that possesses a scientific collecting and Section 2081(a) permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) that must accompany the offerors proposal. This person will be experienced in coordinating field studies and must be considered a qualified delta smelt biologist by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The lead fisheries biologist must be proficient at identifying delta smelt, other San Francisco Bay-Delta fishes, and invertebrates. b. The Technical Capability factor SHALL receive an adjectival rating based on the assessed strengths and inadequacies of each offer as they relate to the Technical Capability. Technical rating with details descriptions are show in the table below: TECHNICAL RATING ACCEPTABLE: Offer clearly meets the minimum technical capability of the performance work statement UNACCEPTABLE: Offer does not clearly meet the minimum technical capability of the performance work statement 3. PAST PERFORMANCE: To demonstrate satisfactory past performance the offeror SHALL provide documentation of satisfactory performance on two (2) past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, performed within the last three (3) years including references, with names and contact information of the references who can verify such past performance. Past performance information of key personnel may be provided if the company has limited or no past performance. In the case of an offeror with only one or without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will be evaluated as "Acceptable" on Past Performance, providing the offeror supplies a certified statement with their offer that no past performance information is available. The preferred method of evaluating Past Performance is the attached USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). The Government's approach will be to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources, as well as data obtained from other sources available, i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating acceptable past performance rests with the offeror. PAST PERFORMANCE RATING ACCEPTABLE: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown UNACCEPTABLE: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. (a) 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). (b) ) 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.
