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: The Government may or may not award a contract resulting from this combine synopsis solicitation to the offeror whose offer conforms to this combined synopsis solicitation that will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. If a contract is awarded it will be without discussions and to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-price factors. The Technical and Past Performance factor will be given a rating of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” Price will not be assigned a rating. Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price are included in the relative order of importance of the evaluation factors. Technical and past performance, when combined, are more importance than price. Technical Approach The Technical Approach evaluation will assess the offeror’s capability to satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. Technical Approach will receive one of the ratings as defined below. Acceptable = The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable = Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. In order to receive an acceptable rating, the following shall be address in your proposal submission: -The offeror shall detail how they plan to execute the requirements of the PWS. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the calibration as defined in this PWS. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. - Provide a certificate of calibration showing the calibration date and documenting the traceability to the National Institute for Standards Technology (NIST). - Provide specific delivery dates to ensure timely delivery of calibrators will be annotated on issued delivery orders. -Provide a list of equipment you plan to use to support this effort Technical submissions must contain sufficient information to determine acceptability when compared to the PWS and the information above. Past Performance Past Performance will receive one of the ratings defined below. Acceptable = Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror’s will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. Unacceptable = Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Evaluation of past performance may be obtained from established systems such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and any other past performance information available to the Government during the evaluation of this factor will be used to determine if there is a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Price Price will not be scored or rated. The evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3(a). The Government will evaluate price to determine whether an offeror's proposed price for the requirement is accurate and complete. The total evaluated price will consist of the contractor's proposed price for the entire 60-month ordering period. The Government reserves the right during the pricing evaluation to evaluate the price of the six month extension as indicated in 52.217-8 the Option to Extend Services clause. This evaluation will occur by taking the price of the last year proposed dividing it by two to come up with price of the six month extension evaluated price. The offeror shall not submit pricing for the 6 month extension. Please be advised that the Government reserves the right to exercise the time associated with the 52.217-8 clause as the situation warrants use of the clause. If the 52.217-8 clause is exercised between an option year that is not the final option year, the price for the amount of time exercised under the 52.217-8 clause shall align with the year immediate preceding the execution of the 52.217-8 option. (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) (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.
