FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014) applies to this solicitation. EVALUATION OF OFFERS: Basis of Award 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 factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Price [LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA)] 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. Evaluation Approach Evaluation of offerors will be made on an LPTA basis. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: 1) Technical (meets salient characteristics/specifications detailed in Attachment 1 Steam Sterilizer Statement of Work, including delivery and warranty information) and 2) Price a. Technical. Meets specifications/salient characteristics listed in Attachment 1 Steam Sterilizer Statement of Work (SOW). This factor will be determined through Government evaluation of the quoted equipment against the Governments minimum requirements as identified in the SOW. If the offerors quote is not an exact match to the line items, the quote must adequately identify the equipment s characteristics in order to confirm the offered equipment meets the Government's minimum needs. The Offeror shall provide an electronic copy of the manufacturer s specifications for all items quoted, when applicable. These manufacturer specifications shall contain adequate specifications for the Government to determine the product meets the specifications identified in the SOW. If the Offeror did not respond to Request For Information (RFI) 36A77620Q0105 with a completed OEM Authorized Dealer Letter, the response shall include a completed Attachment 2 Example OEM Authorized Dealer Letter by the manufacturer, unless the response is submitted by the manufacturer. Not providing this information may render the quote technically unacceptable and, thus, ineligible for award. b. Price. Total evaluated price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified for each Contract Line Item (CLIN) by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item (CLIN). The extended amounts for each CLIN will then be added together to determine the total evaluated price. All Offerors are advised that, in the interest of efficiency, the Government reserves the right to conduct the evaluation in the most effective manner. Specifically, the Government may first evaluate the total proposed price of all Offerors. Thereafter, the Government will evaluate the technical quotation of the lowest priced Offeror only. If the lowest priced Offeror s technical quotation is determined to be rated as Acceptable, the Government may make award to that Offeror without further evaluation of the remaining Offerors technical quotations. If the lowest priced Offeror s technical quotation is determined to be rated as Unacceptable, then the Government may evaluate the next lowest priced technical quotation, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches the lowest priced technical quotation that is determined to be rated as Acceptable. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate all Offerors technical quotations, should it desire.
