RFO 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(a) Evaluation factors. 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 will be used to evaluate offers:

- Factor 1 - Price

- Factor 2 - Technical

Award will be made to the Offeror whose quote is deemed the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable. Offers will be rated by Total Evaluated Price (TEP) and then by technical acceptability. The Government will begin technical evaluations with the lowest priced offer. Once a lowest priced, technically acceptable offer is identified, evaluations will cease.

Factor 1 - Price. The Government will evaluate an offer by TEP. The Government will determine the total evaluated price for all offers by adding the total price for all items.

If only one offer is received , the Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness.

Factor 2 - Technical. Technical acceptability will be determined on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis. To be determined technically acceptable the Contractor shall provide an offer that clearly meets the requirements of the Solicitation and attachments.

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings---

Acceptable:  Offeror has followed instructions in 52.212-1.  Offeror’s quote clearly meets the requirement as stated in the solicitation and all attachments.

Unacceptable:  Offeror has not followed instructions in 52.212-1.  Offeror’s quote does not meet the requirement as stated in the solicitation and all attachments.

An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.

Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).

If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, Deputy Director of Contracting, AFICC/KC (OL-ACC), 114 Thompson Street, Bldg 586, Room 129, Langley AFB, VA 23665, telephone (757) 764-5372 (DSN 574-5372) email: acc.a7k1@us.af.mil. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the Center/MAJCOM/DRU/SMC ombudsman level, may be brought by the interested party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number
(571) 256-2395, facsimile number (571) 256-2431 

The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency. 

Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the contracting officer.
