52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

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) price;

(ii) technical capability of the service offered to meet the Government requirement;

The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability and best value to the

Government. If found technically acceptable and found to be the best value award will be made

without further consideration. If found technically unacceptable the government will evaluate the

next lowest offer for technical acceptability until award can be made to the lowest priced

technically acceptable offeror. Past Performance will not be evaluated. Therefore, the offeror’s

initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However,

the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting

Officer to be necessary. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or

reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

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).

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)
