EVALUATION/AWARD: IAW FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items, 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: Past Performance Technical Acceptability Price Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important when compared to price. 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). 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. The government intends to award to the offeror that represents the best value, meaning that award will be made to the lowest evaluated price quotation meeting or exceeding the standards for non-cost factors. The evaluation factors are price, present/past performance, and technical approach. PRICE: An offeror's proposed price will be determined by adding the total price for each Contract Line Item Number (including options) in Section B to arrive at an end total. PAST PERFORMANCE: The contractor shall submit three references for present or past performance for similar services performed in the last three years. References shall include email addresses and phone numbers of points of contact, the period of performance, and a brief description of the work performed. References can be in the form of CPARS, Past Performance Questionnaires, or any other document that includes email addresses and phone numbers of points of contact, the period of performance, and a brief description of the work performed. The Government reserves the right to obtain and evaluate past/present performance information from any source it deems appropriate. TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY: In order to be technically acceptable, the contractor shall provide asceptic certification as specified in the PWS. Initially, offers shall be ranked according to price. After the cursory review is performed, the government will start evaluation with the lowest price offeror, to determine the acceptability of the technical approach and present/past peformance. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is judged to have an acceptable technical approach and present/past performance, that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offeror. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have an acceptable technical approach and past/present peformance, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have an acceptable technical approach and present/past performance or until all offerors are evaluated. The Contracting Officer shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision. All offerors must be Central Contractor Registered (CCR) and online representation and certification application (ORCA) must be activated.
