(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during re-award testing. (e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately. (f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers. (1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due. (2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is late and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and (A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or (B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or (C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received. (ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted. (3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel. (4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. (5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers.

Therefore, the offeror s initial offer should contain the offeror s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows: Evaluation Commercial Items (Oct 2014) Evaluation Process:    The Government will award a firm fix contract, using FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.    The award will be made to a Contractor whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government, considering the administrative cost of service.    Offeror will be evaluated by utilizing a  comparative evaluation of offers.    Although the evaluation of an Offeror and award of a contract will be made without discussion, the Government nevertheless reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines it to be necessary. Price:  Proposed price will be evaluated for Reasonableness and Realism. The Government reserves the right to reject all proposals if doing so is in the best interest of the Government.   Technical Approach:    Offer shall be evaluated in accordance with the criteria contained in the solicitation and on how well the technical approach meets the Government requirements.    The Technical approach shall include a brief yet comprehensive narrative that details the Contractor s efforts.    Failure to provide the required narrative will result in the Contractor being considered non-responsive. Past performance:    Past performance shall be evaluated based on the Offer s technical qualifications on projects within the last 5 years that are comparable in size, complexity, and scope.    Past Performance information shall be obtained by the following methods.  (Sample Past Performance Questioner on last page) 1.            The Contracting Officer s knowledge of previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; 2.            Customer past performance questionnaire replies 3.            The Governmentwide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) at  www.ppirs.gov  or; 4.            Any other reasonable basis.   (End of Provision) NOTE: OFFERORS MUST PROVIDE DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE, TO INCLUDE CURRENT WARRANTY PROVISIONS TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT S EVALUATION OF THE OFFERED PRODUCT(s). (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.
