As prescribed in RFO 12.205(a)(2), insert a provision substantially as follows:
Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services
(a) Evaluation factors. 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 will be used to evaluate offers:
(i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;
The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical capability based on whether the proposed brand‑name product fully complies with all salient characteristics identified in the attached specification document. Only products that meet all required brand‑name features and salient characteristics will be rated technically acceptable. Failure to demonstrate conformance to each listed characteristic will result in a rating of technically unacceptable.
(ii)price;
The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability and best value tothe Government. If found technically acceptable and found to be the best value an award will be made without further consideration. If found technically unacceptable the government will evaluate the next lowest offer for technical acceptability until award can be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. Past Performance will not be evaluated. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or rejectthe terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.
(b) Options (if applicable). Not applicable for this requirement.
(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.
