The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: The award decision will be based on the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable offer. (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. (End of provision) ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 Paragraph (a) is hereby supplemented with the following: (a). The total evaluated price must be reasonable, and any additional expense must be justified by a corresponding value for technical merit, or an expectation of greater quality of performance. (b). Contractors may not qualify if any of the following are not met: 1. Proposal does not reasonably address the requirements in the request for proposal (RFP). 2.Proposal includes major deficiencies or omissions which discussions could not be expected to cure without a major revision or a new proposal. 3.Proposal is so technically inferior or so out of line in price as compared to other proposals as to preclude it from having a reasonable chance for award. 4. An unrealistically low price, may indicate lack of sound management judgment and lack of understanding of the requirement for the geographic area of service, or unbalanced pricing of line items, as proposed initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has made an imprudent offer. 5. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. PART I TECHINICAL: Technical capability to include product literature, catalog price lists if available; warranty, guarantee, technical specs, delivery information, and installation information. Technical will be evaluated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. Definitions are as follows: ACCEPTABLE: To be rated acceptable, the offeror's technical proposal must demonstrate it can meet all requirements. UNACCEPTABLE: A technical proposal that fails to demonstrate it can meet one or more requirements will be determined unacceptable. PART II PAST PERFORMANCE Offeror is required to submit information, on a single page, identifying federal, state and local Government and private contracts performed within the past three years, which are similar in scope and complexity to the effort described in this solicitation. If none, offeror should so state and provide information on references. Information provided by the Contractor shall state: The type of service provided with information to verify references: Names; telephone numbers; Points of Contact; amount of contract; and email addresses. Past performance shall be used as an evaluation factor within the LPTA process, unless waived by the PCO in accordance with FAR 15.101- 2(b). It shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305. However, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis using the ratings below. Acceptable: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) 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. Note: In the case of an offeror 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 offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." A.2.1.2.1 Aspects of Past Performance. PART III PRICE: Price will be evaluated separately from Technical and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonability. Offeror shall provide their published price list with their offer. 52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (DEB 2012) ALTERNATE I (APR 2011) Vendors shall include a completed copy of FAR provision 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications with their offer.
