52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (Nov 2021)

This tailored clause takes precedence over the clause incorporated by reference.

The Government will award a firm fixed priced purchase order 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:

Part I – Priced Quote

Part II - Technical Documentation

Award will be made based on the competitive quote with the lowest total evaluated price that meets the technical criteria on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If any technical criteria are determined to be unacceptable that quote may not be evaluated further and may not be eligible for award.

Addendum to RFO 52.212-2 - Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Nov 2021).

1. Evaluation:

By submission of its quote, the offeror agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to adhere to all solicitation requirements may result in an offer being determined unacceptable and ineligible for further evaluation. The evaluation process follows:

Part I – Priced Quote Evaluation

Initially, the Government will place all quotes that meet the requirements of the solicitation in order by price, beginning with the lowest total evaluated price. The total evaluated price will be determined utilizing the quoted price for the base period, option periods, and the six-month extension period will be evaluated by using the dollar amount quoted for Option Year 4 (CLINS 4001 and 4002 will be added together) and dividing it by 2, for evaluation purposes only. The total evaluated price will be evaluated using either a quote identifying the unit price, total line-item price, and overall price for all CLINs identified in Attachment 3 provided in Addendum to RFO 52.212-1.

The Government will then evaluate the lowest total evaluated priced offer to determine if it is reasonable and complete. If there is a conflict between the unit price and the overall price, the unit price will be used to determine the correct evaluated price. Failure to quote for any price element may cause the quoter’s quote to be rejected as unacceptable.

Quoters whose evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with DFARS 212.204(a)) may not be considered for award.

Part II – Technical Documentation Evaluation

Next, the lowest total evaluated priced quoter will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for the Technical Requirement. For the lowest evaluated priced quoter to receive a rating of “Acceptable”, the quoter shall submit technical documentation that confirms that their company meets the minimum requirements as stated in this combined synopsis/solicitation in accordance with the evaluation factor identified below.

The  evaluation factor is:

1. Factor 1 – Contractor shall be licensed by the State of Colorado and possess a Type 1 conveyance mechanic license IAW PWS Paragraph 8.6. A copy of the license must be provided.

If the lowest evaluated priced quoter does not demonstrate all necessary requirements, it will receive an “Unacceptable” rating and evaluation of that quote will stop.

The technical factors will receive one of the following ratings listed below.

Rating Description

Rating

Description

Acceptable

Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable

Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

1. Basis of Award:

If the lowest total evaluated priced quote receives an “acceptable” technical rating, that quote represents the most advantageous offer to the Government, evaluation of that quote is complete, and the evaluation process will stop, resulting in an award.

If the lowest total evaluated price quote receives an “unacceptable” technical rating, evaluation of that quote will stop. In that instance, the next lowest evaluated priced quoter will be evaluated using the methodology above and the process will continue (in order by price) until a quote receives an “acceptable” technical rating, or until all quoter are evaluated.

Conversations conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a purchase order without the opportunity for a quote revision. The Government intends to award a purchase order without conversations (while keeping with RFO Part 12). However, the Government reserves the right to conduct conversations with one, some, all, or none of the vendors if deemed in its best interest.

In the case that a discrepancy exists, procedures will be executed IAW RFO 52.212-4(r).
