FAR 52.212-2 - EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)
(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: Technical with delivery as a sub factor and Past Performance. This will be a best value selection.
1) Technically Acceptable - In order to be technically acceptable, offers must meet or exceed the specifications, and other terms and conditions in the solicitation and any subsequent amendments.
Sub factor (a) Delivery - Offeror must be able to deliver completed surveys and reports requested in the RFQ. Delivery date will be within 120 of contract award. Anticipated contract award is August 7, 2019.
2) Past Performance - Please provide information on (3) past purchase orders similar to the scope and size of this requirement.
The offeror's quote will be evaluated to determine the extent to which its past performance demonstrates the likelihood of successful performance in providing requirements similar in size, scope and complexity to the requirements identified in the RFQ. The evaluation will consider both the relevance and quality of past projects. The Government may choose to evaluate publicly available reports, and/or data from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The Government may use present and/or past performance data obtained from a variety of sources. The information gathered for past performance may also be used in the responsibility determination. An Offeror without relevant past performance will receive a neutral rating (i.e., neither favorable nor unfavorable).
The evaluation of Past Performance will reflect the consideration of all relevant agency/customer information that is available to the Government, including both the information received from the offeror's references and information obtained from other sources.
Technical, delivery, and past performance, when combined, is significantly more important than cost or price.
(b) 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).
(c) 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 offerB?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.
