Pursuant to FAR 52.212-2, the criteria for evaluation is: (1) Technical Capability, (2) Price. Technical Capability The Government will evaluate quotes on the basis of whether or not the provided quote meets the technical capability specified in the Statement of Work. Technical Capability shall consist of meeting or exceeding the requirements in the Statement of Work.Price The Government will evaluate offers by adding all line item prices - the Total of All CLINS will be that sum. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability requirements of the statement of work shall not be selected regardless of price.Options (if requested); 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)All quotes shall be subject to evaluation by Government personnel. The Government intends to award without discussions based upon the initial evaluation of quotes. Consequently, contractors are highly encouraged to quote their best non-price and pricing quotes in their initial submissions. However, the Government reserves the right to communicate with any or all contractors submitting a quote, if it is determined advantageous to the Government to do so. If these communications take place, the Government is not obligated to communicate with every contractor (note that FAR Part 15 procedures do not apply; therefore, formal discussions are not applicable). All contractors will be treated fairly and impartially. A contractor may be eliminated from consideration without further communication if its non-price and/or pricing quotes are not among those contractors considered most advantageous to the Government based on a best value determination. All Offerors are advised that, in the interest of efficiency, the Government reserves the right to conduct the review in the most effective manner. Specifically, the Government may first sort the quotes of all Offerors by price from lowest price to the highest. Thereafter, the Government will review the Technical Capability of the lowest priced quote only. If the lowest priced Offeror s Technical Capability is determined to be acceptable and meets the requirements, the Government may make award to that Offeror without further reviews of the remaining Offerors Technical Capability. If the lowest priced Offeror s Technical Capability is determined to not meet the requirement, then the Government may review the Technical Capability next lowest priced quote, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches a quote that is determined to meet the Technical Capability requirements.Quotes that merely restate the requirement or state that the requirement shall be met, without providing supporting rationale, are not sufficient. Contractors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the contractor quoting the lowest price, or to the contractor with the most highly technical quote. Award may be made to other than the lowest priced quote, if the Government determines that a price premium is warranted due to the merits of one or more of the non-price factors.(End of Addendum to 52.212-2)Offerors are advised to include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications Commercial Items, with the offer.52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions--Commercial Items applies to this acquisition52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders--Commercial ItemsFAR 52.212-5 applies to this acquisition with the following FAR clauses incorporated by reference; FAR 52.203-6Restrictions on Subcontractor Sales to the Government (SEPT 2006), with Alternate I (OCT 1995) (41 U.S.C. 4704 and 10 U.S.C. 2402)FAR 52.204-10Reporting Executive Compensation & First-Tier Subcontract Awards (OCT 2016) (Pub.
