FAR 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Sep 2023) The provision FAR 52.212-1, is tailored as follows: TECHNICAL VOLUME (NOT TO EXCEED 10 PAGES) The technical volume will not make any reference to cost or price data. Corporate Experience: The offeror shall submit no more than three (3) examples of contracts (commercial or government) that exhibits corporate experience in staffing the same or relatively similar positions in workload and experience requirements as specified in the Performance Work Statement, Section 1.2. It is the contractor’s responsibility to explain how the positions and scopes of their past performance is similar in nature to this requirement. Corporate experience that is not properly related to this requirement will not be considered for technical acceptability. For example, a contract for food services with no additional explanation on how it relates to this contract will not be considered in the evaluation. Past performance will be evaluated to assist in determining contractor responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 but will not be included as a sub factor or rated. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In those cases of no meaningful past performance, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, if the offeror exhibits corporate experience and has unknown past performance, then they shall be considered Acceptable. If the offeror does “not” exhibit corporate experience, whether they possess past performance or unknown past performance, they shall be considered Unacceptable. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, technical requirements, and the evaluation factors contained herein. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable for award. The offeror must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions with accompanying rationale. The evaluation shall proceed as follows: Table I- Technical Acceptability Ratings Rating Definition Acceptable The quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation and Performance Work Statement. Unacceptable The quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation and Performance Work Statement. PRICE VOLUME The offeror shall fill out Attachment 2_Total Evaluated Price Matrix_FA487725QA035 for the Pricing Volume as it delineates each CLIN price among ordering periods and the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). If an offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications via the System for Award Management (SAM) website to include a valid SAM.gov registration, and after reviewing the SAM database information, the offeror verifies by submission of this offer that the representation and certifications currently posted electronically at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items, have been entered or updated in the last 12 months, are current, accurate, complete, and applicable to this solicitation (including the business size standard applicable to the NAICS code referenced for this solicitation), as of the date of this offer, then the offeror does not need to include a copy of the representations and certifications with the quote. However, if any information within 52.212-3 has been updated for this solicitation only, or if there are any other changes, then the offeror must include those changes within the price volume. The provision FAR 52.212-2, is tailored as follows: FAR 52.212-2, EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Nov 2021) – ADDENDUM (Using FAR 13.106) Procedures The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation meeting all Technical Acceptability and is LPTA. The following factors shall be used to evaluate the quotes: Technical Acceptability: Offerors must provide the necessary and requested information found herein this solicitation in order to fully demonstrate their technical capability in fulfilling this requirement for Energy Management and Control Services. i. Corporate Experience: Offeror demonstrates the corporate experience to successfully staff these positions by providing a prior contract (commercial or government) that justifies their capabilities to hire and sustain a contract with similar positions and complexity to this requirement as specified in the Performance Work Statement, Section 1.2. To be considered successful, the contractor must show the ability to maintain a position fill rate of 90% within the provided contracts. Price Evaluation – The Government will evaluate the offeror’s price quote, to include all ordering periods, for price completeness and reasonableness as described below. Completeness - The offeror’s price quotes will be evaluated for completeness by confirming the offeror has provided unit and total price for all CLINs. Reasonableness - The offeror’s price will be evaluated for reasonableness through one or more of the methods specified in FAR 13.106-2 & 3. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: In evaluating, Technical Capability must be found Acceptable in accordance with FAR 52.212-1 for pricing to be considered. Once Technical Acceptability has been confirmed, the offeror who submits the lowest price technically acceptable that is determined fair and reasonable by the government contracting officer will be awarded the contract. 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 from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be 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. Ordering Periods: The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all ordering periods to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the ordering period prices are significantly unbalanced. 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.

If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotes cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotes 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 quotes 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.
