Per FAR 52.212-2 – Evaluation – Commercial Items:

(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.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1) Lowest Price

2) Technically Capability

The Government will issue an award to the offeror whose quote is the Lowest Price that is determined to meet at least the minimum requirements to be determined Technically Capable.

(1) Technically Capable is defined as the documented capability to meet the minimum requirements of the project as specified in this solicitation and the attached specifications, including evidence of the offeror's capability to provide the items specified and the ability to meet or exceed the specified delivery schedule. It is imperative that the offeror submit sufficient documentation and information for the Government to determine technical capability and quoted price. Failure to submit sufficient information for the Government to determine technical capability and quoted price may be cause for rejection of your quote.

(b) 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.

The Government reserves the right to award one line, all line items or any combination thereof. If multiple line items are awarded, costs/prices for each line item will be totaled and award amount will be based on that total.

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the best overall value, price and other factors considered. In determining the best overall response, the combined non-cost/price factors are more important than the cost/price factor; however, cost/price is a significant factor. The Government may select for award the offeror whose price is not necessarily the lowest, but whose technical proposal is more advantageous to the Government and warrants the additional cost. Offerors must satisfy the requirements described in the performance criteria, as well as other RFQ requirements. Offers that take exception to any performance criteria are unacceptable.
