The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of this paragraph (d) if this contract was awarded using other than sealed bid, is in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold, and does not contain the clause at 52.215-2, Audit and Records—Negotiation. Notwithstanding the requirements of the clauses in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (d) of this clause, the Contractor is not required to flow down any FAR clause, other than those in this paragraph (e)(1) in a subcontract for commercial items. Unless otherwise indicated below, the extent of the flow down shall be as required by the clause— 52.203-13,52.203-19, 52.219-8,) 52.222-17, 52.222-21, 52.222-26,) 52.222-35, 52.222-36,52.222-37,) 52.222-40,52.222-41,52.222-50, 52.222-51, 52.222-53, 52.222-54, 52.222-55, 52.222-62, 52.224-3 The quotation will be evaluated on technical acceptability, past performance and price. The provision at FAR 52.212-2 is not applicable. The evaluation methodology is as follows: Award will be made using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) selection process. Award may be made on initial quotations. Therefore, each initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to contact quoters if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary. The LPTA process will proceed as follows: (1) Quotes may be removed from consideration for any of the following reasons: • Quotes that are not received timely • Quotes that fail to follow instructions • Quotes that fail to submit any required documentation • Quotes that have language inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the solicitation (2) Quotes will be ordered by price from lowest to highest. (3) The Government will then review Factor 1 and Factor 2 of the lowest priced quote. If the review finds that Factor 1 and Factor 2 of the lowest priced quote is acceptable, then that quote represents the best value to the Government and the technical evaluation process stops at this point. Contingent upon a subsequent determination of price reasonableness and of contractor responsibility by the Contracting Officer, an award will be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quoters. If the lowest quote is determined not to be acceptable for any reason, then the next lowest priced quote will receive an evaluation as described above. The process will continue (in order by price) until a quote from a responsible contractor is determined to be acceptable and priced fairly and reasonably. (4) Using this procedure, the Government might not evaluate all quotes. Each Factor will be evaluated as follows: Factor 1. Technical capability to meet the Government's Requirement Technical capability will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis as follows: • Acceptable - Quote clearly meets the minimum technical requirements of the solicitation as follows: The item conforms to the salient characteristics outlined in Section 2.0; • Unacceptable - Quote does not clearly meet the minimum technical requirements of the solicitation. Factor 2. Past Performance Past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis as follows: Acceptable - Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable - Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort Note: In the case of a quoter 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 quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown/neutral past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown/neutral" shall be considered "acceptable." Note: Quoters are not required or requested to submit past performance references. The Government will use public and Government-restricted sources (e.g. PPIRS) to evaluate past performance. Factor 3. Price Price will not be rated. Price analysis will be conducted to determine reasonableness.
