(ix)�������� The provision at FAR Clause 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items (November 2021), applies to this acquisition. �� Although technical factors are of paramount consideration in the award of the contract, price and past performance are also important to the overall contract award decision. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The Government intends to make an award to that offeror whose proposal provides the best overall value to the Government. The evaluation will be based on the demonstrated capabilities of the prospective Contractors in relation to the needs of the project as set forth in herein. The merits of each proposal will be evaluated carefully. Each proposal must document the feasibility of successful implementation of the requirement as set forth herein. Offerors must submit information sufficient to evaluate their proposals based on the detailed factors set forth above. (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 factors�shall�be used to evaluate�offers: (1) minimum specifications of the technical, performance, and functional characteristics of the proposed product; (2) technical support, customer support and delivery, installation, and set-up plan; (3) warranty and preventative maintenance agreement plan; (4) Past Performance; and (5) Price. Although technical factors are of paramount consideration in the award of the contract, price and past performance are also important to the overall contract award decision. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The Government intends to make an award to that offeror whose proposal provides the best overall value to the Government. The evaluation will be based on the demonstrated capabilities of the prospective Contractors in relation to the needs of the project as set forth in herein. The merits of each proposal will be evaluated carefully. Each proposal must document the feasibility of successful implementation of the requirement as set forth herein. Offerors must submit information sufficient to evaluate their proposals based on the detailed factors set forth above. The evaluation factors are used when reviewing the proposals: (1) Technical Capability and Functionality�NIDA shall evaluate the offeror�s technical approach for overall capability and functionality in relation to the General Requirement, Salient Characteristics, Quantity and Deliverables as described in the Purchase Description; (2) Contract Management and Customer Support�NIDA shall evaluate the offeror�s ability to provide a high level of customer service, particularly in the area of initial responsiveness and resolution of device and service problems; (3) Speed of Delivery, Installation and Set-up�NIDA shall evaluate the offeror�s technical approach for completeness, feasibility, soundness and practicality of the proposed approach and work plan for accomplishing the requirements of the statement of work; (4) Past Performance�Offerors will be evaluated based on information obtained from references provided by the offeror, other relevant past performance information obtained from other sources known to the Government, and any information supplied by the offeror concerning problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective action taken. Furthermore, the Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts but rather the product of subjective judgment by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information; and (5) Price� Offerors price quote will be evaluated for reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques. Price evaluation will not be conducted on any Offeror determined to be technically unacceptable. Offerors may respond with a proposal indicating their ability to provide the technical specifications stated in this solicitation. Responses will be evaluated based on the contractor�s ability to meet the Government�s requirements. (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.
