FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) is applicable to this acquisition. (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. Factors other than price shall be considered and a Price/Technical Tradeoff analysis of both price and non-price factors will be conducted, in evaluating each proposal submitted. Trade-off considerations may result in the determination that it is in the best interest of the Government to award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the hightest technically rated Offeror. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Capability / Acceptability: The Government will evaluate proposals based on how well the proposed product and components meet the requirement of the Specifications Attachment. The following table of technical requirements define specific value to the Government. Each requirement will be assessed and integer-scored from zero to some maximum value, as shown. An Offeror’s overall technical performance will be defined as the sum total of their technical requirement score. Score Range 0-2 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA): The dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) shall be capable of a minimum of 550 °C temperature with the application of force in a range from 0.001 to at least 30 newton of maximum force. Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC): The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) shall be capable of temperatures between -90 to 700 °C and high accuracy on samples sizes as low as 1 mg. Thermomechanical Analyzer (TMA): The thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) shall be capable of reaching a minimum room temperature of 800 °C with sample sizes less than 30 mm in total length. Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA): The thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) shall be capable of extremely rapid heat rates up to 1500 degrees Celsius per minute to a maximum temperature of at least 1000 °C Software Package: The software package shall integrate the above four (4) components/instruments so that parameters can be input from one instrument to another. Scoring Methodology A score of Zero (0) means the proposed solution DOES NOT MEET the minimum technical specification. A score of one (1) means the proposed solution MEETS the minimum technical specification. A score of two (2) means the proposed solution EXCEEDS the minimum technical specification For the purpose of evaluation, Technical Acceptability is defined as meeting all physical, functional, performance, and/or delivery schedule requirements, and any other terms and conditions specified in the solicitation and its attachment(s). General statements, that the offeror can or will comply with the requirements, that standard procedures will be used, that well known techniques will be used, or that paraphrases the RFP's specifications in whole or in part, will not constitute compliance with the mandatory requirements concerning the content of the technical proposal. Past Performance IAW DFARS 252.213-7000, the contracting officer shall consider data available in the statistical reporting module of the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) regarding the supplier’s past performance history for the PSC and/or NAICS of the supplies being purchased. Ratings: Acceptable: SPRS Supplier Risk Score of Blue, Purple, or Green, indicating a higher score in SPRS and are therefore, considered to have a lower risk of poor contract performance Not Acceptable: SPRS Supplier Risk Score of Yellow or Red, indicating a lower score in SPRS and are therefore, considered to have a higher risk of poor contract performance Neutral: In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the NAICS or PSC of the supplies being purchased, the supplier may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history. Price Reasonableness: The Government anticipates making a determination of fair and reasonable price based on competitive quotes. If only one response is received, the Government may use other methods as described at 13.106-3(a)(2). (b) Based on the factors above, non-price factors are more important than price reasonableness. (c) The Government reserves the right to award with limited exchanges to clarify certain aspects of quotes; however, the Government anticipates making award without discussions. (d) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for the lowest priced options between (1) the DSC and TGA being acquired, without any exchange (CLIN 0005 and CLIN 0007); and (2) the DSC and TGA being acquired, with the exchange (CLIN 0006 and CLIN 0008), to the total price for the basic requirement. However, the Government is not obligated to award on an exchange basis. If the lowest evaluated offer is an offer for the new items without any exchange or if the trade-in allowance for the DSC and/or TGA will be unreasonably low, the contracting officer may forgo the exchange. If the Government forgoes an exchange for the DSC and/or TGA, the Government will evaluate offers by adding the total price for the new item being acquired, without any exchange, to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (End of Provision) X.
