The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial, applies to this acquisition. The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Descending Order of importance: 1) Technical Capability of the items and services offered to meet the Government requirement, 2) Price, and 3) Past Performance. Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The offeror shall provide documented information on the uncertainty of the measurements made with the machines as well as certificates of calibration. In addition, the offeror shall submit, as part of its quote, existing product literature in addition to information on previously performed contracts or on-going contracts that are similar to the statement of work/item description in the solicitation performed for Federal, State or local Governments, and for commercial firms. Information shall be provided on either 1) all such contracts within the past three years, or 2) the last three such contracts performed, whichever is fewer, and shall be limited to the name and address of the organization for which the product was supplied and services were performed and the number (phone and fax) of a contact for each contract listed. The offeror should not describe past performance history in the quote. The information should include, however, discussion of any major problems encountered on the contract listed and the corrective actions taken to resolve them. The information may also include a description of any quality awards earned by the offeror. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. However, the quote of an offeror with no relevant past performance history, while not rated favorably or unfavorably for past performance, may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful quote when compared to the responses of other quotes. The quoter should provide the information requested above for past performance evaluation, or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance.
