2 Change 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV2021) to:

(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:

1. FACTOR 1: Technical Capability — Technical capability to meet the Government’s requirements by

providing the documents outlined in section E.2, Detailed Proposal Instructions, paragraph II.1.a

through g. This will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis.

Failure to provide any required documents will result in a grade of fail.

2. FACTOR 2: Past Performance Evaluation. Past performance is one indicator of an offeror’s ability

to perform the contract successfully. Past performance is evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable

basis. Proposals that lack any past performance will receive a neutral rating. Past performance

shall consist of:

a. If the nursing home is an incumbent VA-contracted facility, it’s previous performance will be

reviewed in Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

b. While evaluating past performance, the Government evaluation team will not be limited to

reviewing the past performance information provided in this proposal and reserves the right to

review other available past performance information to assess past performance. Please note,

technical evaluators and the Contracting Officer can use their personal knowledge of the

contractor’s prior VA contracts to assist with past performance evaluations. If an offeror does not

have any past performance, a neutral rating will be given for this evaluation factor.

3. FACTOR 3: Price Evaluation. Prices are determined by Geriatrics & Extended Care (GEC) & VA

Central Office (VACO). GEC/VACO will publish Medicare Benchmark rates annually.

(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.
