(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. 

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered. 

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. 

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award. 

(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. 

(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable: 

(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s offer.  

(2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.

Provision at RFO 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services applies to this acquisition and the specific evaluation criteria is included in the paragraph below: 

The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: 

Factor 1 – Technically Acceptable 

Evaluation Method: Technical 

“Technically Acceptable” will be evaluated based on how well the proposed products or services meet the Government’s requirement. Predetermined subfactors are not required. 

Factor 2 – Lowest Price 

Evaluation Method: Price 

“Lowest Price” will be evaluated inclusive of transportation charges from the shipping point of the supplier to the delivery destination. Discounts are not included when evaluating the prices of quotations or offers. 

Pricing will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Unbalanced, incomplete, or omitted pricing may render a quotation ineligible for award. 

 
(b) Options (if applicable). 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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.
