+ 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items. (OCT 2014)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote represents the best value to the Government. Best value means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. Best Value will be determined using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process.
1) Technical Factor: Experience in the reproduction and off-site installation light field style cannon carriages for same or similar three-pounder and/or four-pounder cannons described in the Statement of Work.
Adjectival Rating Description
Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.
Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.
2) Past Performance Factor: Assessment of the quoter's probability of meeting the minimum solicitation requirements.
Adjectival Rating Description
Acceptable Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter's performance record is unknown. (See note below)
Unacceptable Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable."
3) Price.
Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal to 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 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.
