(ix) The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation Commercial Items (Oct 2014) applies 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, price and other factors considered. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers:
- Technical: The Government will evaluate the vendor's technical ability to meet or exceed the requirements outlined in the Requirements List. The SEC will use the offeror's written submission as well as Product Demonstration to evaluate their ability to meet or exceed the requirements listed in the Requirements List.
2. Price
The SEC will use comparative evaluation of the quotes to include technical quote, oral product demonstration, and price quote, to determine the best response. The SEC will compare technical quotes and price quotes with each other in a uniform and fair manner to determine which quote provides the SEC what it needs. It is an assessment of which response is best as a whole. The SEC reserves the right to select a response that provides benefit to the SEC that exceeds the minimum but is not required to do so. Responses may exceed the minimum requirements but the SEC is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations.
Once the SEC determines the offeror that is best-suited (i.e., the apparent successful offeror), the SEC reserves the right to communicate with only that offeror to address any remaining issues, if necessary, and finalize a purchase order with that offeror. These issues may include technical and price. If the parties cannot successfully address any remaining issues, as determined pertinent at the sole discretion of the government, the government reserves the right to communicate with the next best-suited offeror based on the original analysis and address any remaining issues. Once the SEC has begun communications with the next best-suited offeror, no further communications with the previous offeror will be entertained until after the purchase order has been awarded. This process shall continue until an agreement is successfully reached and a purchase order is awarded.
(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.
(x) The offeror shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certification Commercial Items (Dec 2019), with its offer. An offeror shall complete only paragraphs (b) of this provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically via http://www.acquisition.gov .
