Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services, applies and specific evaluation criteria to be used are described below:
(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:
BASIS FOR AWARD: PRICE ONLY
The Contracting Officer may only award a contract to a responsive, responsible Offeror whose quote conforms to the requirements of this solicitation and offers the best overall value to the Government.
Any Offeror's quote that merely offers to perform work according to the terms of the solicitation or fails to present more than a statement indicating its capability to comply with the terms without support and elaboration as specified in the instructions will be rendered non-responsive.
The evaluation shall be conducted utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures. In accordance with FAR 13.106- 2(b)(3), formal evaluation plans and establishing a competitive range, conducting discussions, and scoring quotations or offers are not required. The Contracting Officer intends to conduct comparative evaluations of offers. The Government also intends to evaluate responses and award without discussions. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.
Non-price factors are approximately equal in importance as price. As such, the Government may award to other than the lowest price or most highly evaluated technical quote.
(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.
