As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows: Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014) (a) 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: 1. Price – The evaluation process will begin with the calculation of each offeror’s total evaluated price. 2. Technical Acceptability – The Government will evaluate offerors starting with the lowest priced offeror and determining if the vendor’s address is within hand delivery radius of 20 miles as stated in the SOW. For vendors located outside a 20 mile radius, the Government will add an evaluated price for shipping to and from the vendor’s testing office location. This evaluation represents a Total Evaluated Price (TEP). After all offers are evaluated for TEP, offers shall be ranked according to the TEP from lowest to highest. Starting with the lowest priced TEP offer the Government will review the submitted Proof of National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program certification for validity and currency. If the lowest priced offeror’s NELAP certification is valid and current (technically acceptable), that offeror represents the best value to the Government. The evaluation will stop at that point. If the lowest priced TEP offeror’s NELAP certification is invalid or is not current (technically unacceptable), the evaluation will move to the next lowest priced offeror and continue until the lowest priced offeror is found to be technically acceptable or all offers are evaluated. (b) 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). This evaluation will take into consideration the TEP described in paragraph (a). (c) 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.
