FAR 52.212-2: Evaluation - Commercial Items (NOV 2021)
FAR 52.212-2 is hereby tailored as follows:
The Government will award a contract resulting from the 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:
- Technical capability/acceptance – The Government will evaluate the vendor’s Technical Quote to determine whether the proposed solution provides a clear understanding of the requirement and the solution accomplishes/satisfies the desired results/objectives of the requirement. Technical data/documents as required and listed above (FAR 52.212-1) shall be evaluated. Technical acceptability will be determined on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis.
- Price – No additional information from the offeror will be required if the price is based on adequate price competition. In the event adequate price competition does not exist, the contracting officer will obtain information from the offeror to the extent required to determine the reasonableness of the offered prices. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the breakdown of prices are significantly unbalanced.
- The Government will evaluate quotes in accordance with the following evaluation criteria. The Government will evaluate quotes for acceptability, but will not rank the quotes by the non-price factors. If the Government received fewer than three (3) quotes, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if it is in the Government’s best interest to do so.
- A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specifies 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.
